00:00:00
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: Live from Hindmarsh Square, it's 5AA Breakfast. Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: Well, after six, good morning to you. Welcome to a sad Wednesday on 5AA Breakfast with the passing of one of the great legends of entertainment, Dolly Parton. Nine to five, we're just listening to a song she wrote for the movie that she indeed starred in. One of those remarkable careers that span music and film. This is the morning, folks. If you've got Adelaide's biggest Dolly Parton collection or you've been and seen her, I counted... Two Adelaide concerts in the last 20-odd years. 12th of November, 2011, and 13th of February, 2014. If you were there those nights, this is your morning to tell us what it was like seeing Dolly Parton live in person, or indeed, she made an impression in your life in other ways, we'd love to hear from you. 8223 0000. You can text us on 044808 1395. We'll get back to that in just a moment and head to the US, to the Walk of Fame, where there's obviously an outpouring of emotion for Dolly Parton. Today, other stories around Adelaide that we were getting to as well. The Onkaparinga River bursting its banks. Anyone listening to us this morning that is in the sort of old Nalunga sort of area that has been affected, maybe you've had to go to the footy club to pick up the old Nalunga footy club to pick up sandbags, give us a buzz. What's it been like? How concerned are you? Where's the state of play with your property? We'd love to hear from people that are directly affected. So if that sounds like you, give us a buzz. Sean Fuster on the program. David Kosh, looking forward to his comments with the departure of Zach Bartos. What comes next for Port Adelaide? It's going to be a big news morning. We'd love you to be part of it. Stacey Lee, good morning to you.
00:02:02
Speaker 4: Good morning, Will.
00:02:03
Speaker 3: Do you have a relationship with Dolly Parton, a career or a work?
00:02:07
Speaker 4: I mean, I never saw her play. I love her music. And I just, I love the fact that I mean, she was such a successful woman in what would have been in her era a really male-dominated industry in country music. But she did it in a way that she didn't give up on her feminism or anything like that. She showed that women can still be in a male-dominated industry and keep their feminism but also be really strong businessmen.
00:02:34
Speaker 3: She had the big hair.
00:02:35
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:02:36
Speaker 3: She had the lips.
00:02:36
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:02:37
Speaker 4: She would wear the low-cut top and that was okay to be like that while also being successful and writing really good music.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: And taken seriously.
00:02:45
Speaker 4: Taken seriously and doing her job well.
00:02:47
Speaker 3: There's a theme, as you say that, Stace, that everything I read this morning, I just grabbed some little tidbits of stories and things that I liked about her life. But there's one constant theme, this idea that she knew who she was and her message to everyone was, just be who you are. There's, there's nothing wrong with that. So when she, when she, when she, I mentioned, I mentioned nine to five when she's doing the movie scene, she has this very famous quote where she said, I'm, she starred, um, in, uh, a whole bunch, still Magnolia's as well as one of her famous roles. Um, she said, I'm never going to be Meryl Streep, but then, uh, she'll never be Dolly Parton either. So just be you. And that, that there's that constant theme, uh, through everything she does that, um, uh, I absolutely love. And I think about one time in recent years she became newsworthy and we had this big discussion about it on 5AA Breakfast. She was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a whole bunch of people. And on the morning, David and I had this big discussion where we said almost none of the people nominated in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were classic rock and roll. Dolly Parton. The person who agreed with us was Dolly Parton, who said, what? Why am I in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? And she said, she actually said no to the nomination.
00:04:00
Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
00:04:00
Speaker 3: And then subsequently, I think people got to her and said, Dolly, just so you know, we've broadened out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's not, you know, you don't have to be ACDC anymore to get in. It's more of a celebration of music. And I think she accepted the honour. And then wrote a rock and roll album. It was called Rock and Roll or something or other. But it's this whole idea of the whole, she had a wonderful sense of who she was. Yes. And was proud of that and didn't try to pretend to be anything else.
00:04:22
Speaker 4: No, because you can't. And especially when you have Dolly Parton fame, you'd be found out.
00:04:27
Speaker 6: Totally.
00:04:28
Speaker 3: If you're trying to be someone you are not.
00:04:29
Speaker 4: You can't fake it. She didn't shy away from the media, but she also didn't, Put herself out there all the time. Not everything that Dolly Parton did had to be a story.
00:04:39
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:04:39
Speaker 8: You know?
00:04:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Not a constant search for relevance. Yeah. Or just being seen.
00:04:44
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:04:45
Speaker 3: Didn't have a desire for that kind of thing. Yeah. Maybe it comes from her origin. I was just trying to wrap my head and picture this this morning. And I wonder if anyone even, I'm not even sure if it happens in Australia where you get this kind of upbringing. So she grew up in the Smoky Mountains, Tennessee.
00:05:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: And I saw this referenced a few times, and I just can't get my head around what this was like. The fourth youngest of 12 children. Okay, we know we've done talkies in the past with our listeners who are from big families.
00:05:11
Speaker 10: Yep.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: A one-room cabin they all grew up in.
00:05:15
Speaker 7: What?
00:05:15
Speaker 3: In the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, which looks like a spectacular western United States. One-room cabin. Fourteen of them. Yeah, fourteen of them. Twelve children. She was the fourth youngest of it. Maybe that's- what grounds you in life. Remarkable, remarkable life. We'd love to hear your recollections too, folks. 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395.
00:05:40
Speaker 4: Helen's done that morning. I just love the coat of many colours. Also, she stayed married for 60 years in that industry.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, great point.
00:05:47
Speaker 11: Great point, Helen.
00:05:48
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of one of those stories that happens where her husband died last year, I think.
00:05:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, not too long ago.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: And they often– it happens that way. People that have been married for a long, long time don't outlive each other by– A long way. It seems like maybe that's the case here.
00:06:05
Speaker 4: It's kind of beautiful in a way.
00:06:06
Speaker 10: It is.
00:06:07
Speaker 3: No, I think it is. I think it legitimately is beautiful. If you ever saw Dolly Parton, if you're a massive fan, this is your morning, folks. We would love to hear from you. We're going to do a bit of reminiscing on 5AA Breakfast. 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395.
00:06:21
Speaker 9: Knock down.
00:06:22
Speaker 3: Build two.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
00:06:28
Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
00:06:29
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: 20 after 6, we're going to set aside some time after 6.30 for your Dolly Parton memories, tributes. If you've been to her, unless I'm missing some, I think there are two concerts that she came to Adelaide, 2011, 2014, both times the Entertainment Centre. If you were there, tell us what that experience was like. We'd love to hear from you. 8223 0000 is the number. But if you've got a recollection, you've got a favourite album, song, a movie, quote, whatever it might well be, let us know what it is after 6.30. It's going to be celebrating all things Dolly Parton. Do you want to do a couple of texts now, Stace, just to give people a bit of a sense of what the sentiment is out there?
00:07:08
Speaker 4: This text from Maxine, and she says, Sorry, I can't call because I can't speak without crying. I saw her in concert last time she was here. I got a last-minute ticket and went by myself, so I ended up in the third row. An amazing experience. I laughed and cried and came away thinking, Thank goodness I decided to get that ticket. To wake up today to hear this news has left me very emotional. She was part of my childhood and adulthood journey. And the world has lost a true star. RIP Dolly. You deserve it.
00:07:34
Speaker 3: What a beautiful tribute, Maxine. That was well said. Lovely story.
00:07:38
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of people can resonate with that, even if it's not directly related to Dolly Parton. But going to a concert by yourself, I think, would be a big move for a lot of people. That's a pretty– and this is– It's a pretty brave thing to do. I would feel a bit self-conscious going to a concert by myself, but you only do it when you're a really big fan and you really want to see someone. And for you to be in the third row and get to see her, and now you've got that memory, Maxine.
00:08:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:08:05
Speaker 4: I think that's beautiful.
00:08:05
Speaker 3: You'll never regret that decision, Maxine. A lot of people feeling the same way Maxine does. Let's head over to the US as Reid Butler, our Nine News US correspondent, is at the airport on his way to Nashville. Reid, good morning to you.
00:08:19
Speaker 12: Yeah, morning guys. I was just at the Star on the Walk of Fame as well earlier this morning and the emotion is, I've never seen anything like it, covering these kinds of things. People are devastated. There's so much love for Dolly Parton out there.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: So, describe what it's like at a scene like that for us, Reid, and also give us a bit of a sense of what she meant to Americans. We're hearing about her Australian fans, but She's sort of unique in America at the moment, this sort of southern star with universal appeal that was beloved by everyone. It didn't seem politics ever became part of the issue. She was just universally loved.
00:08:59
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's a really good point. I think she made a point not to. I think I can't remember the exact quote from Dolly, but I know over the years she's kind of said, why should anyone care of what I think about politics?
00:09:12
Speaker 7: I'm going to be.
00:09:12
Speaker 12: Quiet about it, and just focus on the things that she is passionate about. She did so many incredible charitable work. Her philanthropy was incredible. She had a program for teaching young children here in the States to read. I think every young child in, I think it was Washington, D.C., or somewhere like that, in a kind of impoverished, lower socioeconomic area, would receive free books every year. as part of this charitable foundation Dolly Parton had pioneered and started. So there's so much love for her from a music perspective and then also just what she's done throughout her life to help others. And it was on, yeah, like I mentioned, on full display from the Americans I was speaking to just before at the Star who'd rushed down. news still fresh of her passing, and they'd rushed down with flowers, with records, and tears in their eyes. People were sobbing to me, talking about what Dolly meant to them. One man said to me, he thought that she was going to live forever. And today was the realization that she is only human. She's only a human and then she's passed away. We're hearing that potentially she's been treated for some really serious autoimmune issues and kidney problems. That's what TMZ is reporting this morning. And we know she has had health struggles in recent months. But yeah, so obviously she's not going to live forever in one sense, but she will live forever in another sense because that legacy is just incredible that she leaves behind the music and the fandom. Dolly, just you name it. What an incredible human being she was.
00:10:58
Speaker 4: What about the personal side of Dolly in the US, Reid? I mean, we see people doing those tours on the buses and visiting superstars' houses and like that. Was she a bit more private than that? Did people know where she lived? Would she have fan groups near her house or was it she sort of removed from that Hollywood paparazzi lifestyle.
00:11:20
Speaker 12: Look, I think she had like one foot in one stiletto in that world and another stiletto, not in that world. She had, she gave an interview just a couple of days ago to people magazine because the Dolly Parton museum was about to launch in Nashville. There there's a fan clubs everywhere. She's obviously got, I think she had a Vegas residency, which she had to postpone due to, due to health issues. So she was working Dolly World, of course, as well in Nashville. She was working constantly and there were so many ways to embrace the Dolly fandom and get around that. But in other ways, she was quite private. She didn't travel a lot in the last, you know, I think over the past decade, she barely traveled. And she was... a little bit out of the public eye except for the occasional interview and the Instagram posts and things like that. But there was still plenty of opportunities and there still will be forever, similar to someone like Elvis, to be able to dive into the world of Dolly Parton and that's not going to change. And I can just imagine there'll be more opportunities going forward too, especially seeing the outpouring of grief today.
00:12:31
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Well said, Reid. Thank you, Reid Butler. for Nine News in the US on his way to Nashville, where you can only imagine what the scenes are going to be like with the passing of Dolly Parton at the age of 80. It'll be your opportunity after 6.30, folks, to have your say. You can reflect on your favourite Dolly Parton movie performance, could be a favourite album, song, concert, the time. Just tell us about the time you saw her live. If you did, surely some of our audiences have been to see her live. Maxine obviously did quite famously now with that beautiful text in the first half hour but if you did too we'd love to hear your story on the program this morning as we celebrate an absolute titan of the entertainment industry for the last 60 years 7.8 degrees outside at the moment the apparent temperature 6.7 so this is actually as cool of a morning as we've had in some time uh 9 to 17 the top uh but there's no rain forecast so that's newsworthy and there's no rain forecast through until next tuesday where we get a little bit but how about this sunny tomorrow and 19 sunny and friday and 20 mostly sunny saturday and 20 19 sunday 21 and sunny on monday and 22 with that shower coming on tuesday so maybe it changes But the reality is it's going to start feeling a lot like spring over the course of the next five or so days. Today, a little bit cooler, but from tomorrow onward, some really beautiful weather on the way. Tom Wren's in the 5AA Breakfast Studio, and I think in the absence of Dolly Parton's passing, Renny, we'd be talking about one of the more extraordinary speeches in the history of Australian rules footy last night by Jordan Dawson at the All-Australian Honours. Called Glider on our order a new door with operator before the end of September, received two extra handsets.
00:14:10
Speaker 5: It was..
00:14:11
Speaker 3: He made what was a celebration of footy during a difficult week a remarkable celebration of humanity.
00:14:17
Speaker 11: He did, didn't he? He was exceptional. You're right, Will. He earned another All-Australian Blazer. He was voted the vice captain. He was voted the best captain by his peers, so I'm not sure how he didn't then get named the captain.
00:14:29
Speaker 3: This is what he does now. That happened last year, didn't it?
00:14:31
Speaker 4: Is that unusual?
00:14:32
Speaker 11: It seemed bizarre to me.
00:14:32
Speaker 3: So it's happened to him two years in a row. I think last year he was best captain and vice captain.
00:14:36
Speaker 14: Yes.
00:14:37
Speaker 11: So it went to Max Gorn for the actual team, but he was– Also voted most courageous player. So he earned his, I think it's his third All-Australian Blazer. But he made a really poignant speech when he was talking with Jonathan Brown from Fox footy up on the stage about mental health. And obviously he tragically lost his brother earlier this year. His father was there last night. Very emotional. Let's have a bit of a listen to what he had to say, Will.
00:15:05
Speaker 15: The mental health space is something that's pretty new and pretty raw to me at the moment, but it's definitely something that I want to learn a bit more about. I just want to wish anyone who's struggled with mental health out there or who is struggling with mental health to know that you are definitely loved and the world is a better place.
00:15:24
Speaker 7: When you're in it.
00:15:25
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was really touching.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: Him coming back to the microphone after the official chat had finished because he had something he wanted to say was really powerful. And it's just no one else in a walk– and tragedy happens to lots of people, probably everyone in their life at some point in time. No one has to get up and be repeatedly asked about it in public or do public speeches about it or is expected to address it every two seconds like a bloke in their 20s. Jordan Dawson's a veteran of football. We sort of think of these guys as much older and more mature. He's a bloke in his 20s coming to grips with the sort of family tragedy that some people never get over. And here he is now trying to spread a message of love and looking after yourself.
00:16:02
Speaker 5: That's right.
00:16:02
Speaker 3: What a remarkable person.
00:16:03
Speaker 4: I liked the way he also set some boundaries in his little speech. Like he said, there will be a time where I want to talk about it and campaign about this. And I'll get to that in a way of saying, I want to address it. Yes, I'm going to campaign in my own way, but when I'm ready, I will do that. I thought that was a really nice way of doing it.
00:16:20
Speaker 11: Yeah, and he'll be a huge champion for it because of who he is and the leadership he's already shown. I mean, but the grief is still so raw. I mean, how do you ever sort of process that? It's really difficult and in such a public way. So well done to him last night. He was exceptional. He's an amazing person. So that was, you know, pretty moving. Just in terms of the rest of the night, Wayne Miller earned his first All-Australian jacket, so that was great for him.
00:16:44
Speaker 4: Well deserved.
00:16:45
Speaker 11: Yeah, one of two crows. Fremantle had the most. They had five players out of the 23. Not surprising when you're the top side. Brisbane had three. Then a few clubs had two. Port had the one with Zach Butters. So well done to Butters. Thoroughly deserved it. He made the bench. That was outstanding. So a lovely night in all. And Dolly Parton also, she was an actress. Still Magnolia, not sure if you saw her.
00:17:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, we mentioned that from 89. Great movie. One of the all-timers. But what a voice.
00:17:13
Speaker 16: Yeah.
00:17:13
Speaker 3: Unbelievable voice. You've sung a bit of Dolly Parton over the journey, haven't you? Love Dolly Parton.
00:17:17
Speaker 11: Islands in the Stream. One of my favourites. Nine to five.
00:17:20
Speaker 4: One of your favourites as well.
00:17:21
Speaker 5: No.
00:17:22
Speaker 3: Ben Jordan suggested we play that and I would have thought.
00:17:25
Speaker 4: I think that'll be happening, Ben. Don't you worry.
00:17:28
Speaker 3: There couldn't be a more offensive way to celebrate one of the greats to have ever sung. and then have my rendition being played.
00:17:33
Speaker 11: No, we need it. The fans want it.
00:17:35
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought. I think the tapes have been destroyed. Are you ready?
00:17:39
Speaker 11: Thanks, guys.
00:17:43
Speaker 7: Knockdown.
00:17:43
Speaker 1: Bill 2. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:17:55
Speaker 3: 21 to 7, the phone lines are open, folks. If you're a Dolly Parton fan, you ever saw her live, you've got one record or six or maybe many more. You know she wrote over 3,000 songs? What? 3,000 songs. It's unbelievable. Sold 100 million records worldwide. How many of them are here in Adelaide? How many people listening right now have a Dolly Parton vinyl record in their cupboard at home? If you do, give us a call, 8223 0000. It's not all hers.
00:18:27
Speaker 4: I'm assuming she would, she would have sold some of them to other people.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: Uh, no, that she, it was written this morning. She wrote 3000 songs. It's hard to get your head around. You can text us too. And zero to four, eight, zero, eight, 1395. But if you, If you've got a record, or even better, if you saw her play. Now, we've got two concerts we've been talking about that Dolly Parton played here in Adelaide, the 12th of November, 2011, and the 30th of February, 2014. But we've got a text alerting us to another one.
00:18:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, from Scott. He says, hi, Dolly and Kenny Rogers performed at Football Park on the 13th of February in 1987 in front of 60,000 fans.
00:19:03
Speaker 3: The Oz Concerts website. Need to update. Scott, they missed that one. Thank you for letting us know. 8223 0000 for your Dolly Parton recollections. Margaret in Paraffood Gardens, good morning.
00:19:15
Speaker 15: Good morning.
00:19:15
Speaker 17: What a sad day indeed.
00:19:16
Speaker 3: It really is.
00:19:17
Speaker 17: I just, I had a little book of her quotes and for the life of me, I can't find it. But I just, I really loved this morning the way you said that she was a very authentic person. And just by looking at her, you would look at her and think that she wasn't. Because she was always so dolled up, pardon the pun, massive amount of makeup and obviously wigs. And I just remember that made me feel really good because I've always worn so much makeup and I've just thought that that's just me. And so when I heard that she did that, I just, that made me feel that's okay. And I remember one of the little quotes too, she said when she was young, she used to like looking at the ladies of the night. She used to think that they looked really beautiful with all their makeup and their fancy dresses. And I think that's where she got some of her inspiration from. And yeah, One quote I do remember, she said, there's no such thing as natural beauty. That's why God made makeup.
00:20:09
Speaker 3: That's very funny.
00:20:13
Speaker 17: And I'll just leave you with this. Still Magnolia is obviously most people have seen at the must. That's the one if you need a good cry. If you want to have a good laugh, watch First Wives Club. It is absolutely amazing. It's about wives that have been dumped and they start this club. It is a spectacular movie, full of singing. It's got Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn. It's a brilliant, brilliant movie.
00:20:35
Speaker 3: That's a great suggestion. Good on you, Margaret. Thank you for that. Margaret and Parafield Gardens. Lots of great texts coming through as well with celebrations of Dolly Parton's life and our listeners as massive fans.
00:20:46
Speaker 9: Yep.
00:20:46
Speaker 4: This one from Matt. Dolly would have gone down as, would have to go down as one of the greats. She had so many hits that will live with us forever and her generosity through philanthropy. She changed so many lives for women, children and men. A very sad day indeed. And this one from Andrew in Kersbrook. My father used to play Dolly albums. She had this song about a young girl and a puppy dog called Little Andy. I just listened to it. It made me quite emotional. R.I.P. Dolly Parton.
00:21:13
Speaker 3: Well, that's what we want to hear from you. If you've got a Dolly Parton record CD in your collection, let us know. 8223 0000. You buy one and it's got a story that comes with why you're a fan, what you love, what period of your life that was, what period of her life it was.
00:21:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, music does that to you, doesn't it? It can take you back to a moment in time like it did for Andrew where my dad used to play that song. I just listened to it and it took him right back there to that moment.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: My favourite little tidbit out of this morning that gives you some sense, because whenever really famous major entertainers die, it can all feel the same. Oh, this person was... And we're not ranking their significance, but to give you a sense of how important Dolly Parton is seen in America. So Donald Trump has put out an edict that all American flags will be lowered for one week. All American flags. Oh, for Dolly? For Dolly Parton.
00:22:07
Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
00:22:07
Speaker 5: Right?
00:22:08
Speaker 3: Now, the significance of that is actually the one-week component, because the flags will often be lowered to half-mast for various passings, and there are a few things in the U.S., that are actually dictated by law there. So if a Supreme Court judge dies or a president or a vice president, it might be 30 days. They've actually got it all rated out. If it's a member of Congress, it's only two days. Read into that what you will. Supreme Court justices, I think, get 10 days, for example. Seven days is really significant. The last time a general member of the public got the flags lowered for seven days was in 1965.
00:22:42
Speaker 10: Wow.
00:22:44
Speaker 3: When Lyndon Johnson ordered the flags lowered for the death of Winston Churchill. Oh, wow. So, 1965, World War II still fresh in everyone's memory. This level of honour doesn't happen. So, in recent times, big figures that have had their flags lowered in the US, the president's usually said, one day or two days. She's been conferred an honour in her passing that is unprecedented for an entertainer. Put it that way. You had to be Winston Churchill who defeated the Nazis to get seven days before. This is a really important figure in the United States. This is not just an entertainer.
00:23:19
Speaker 4: And it's impacting so many people here as well. Scott, morning, guys. I've just turned on. Has Dolly passed? What a crap way to start the day.
00:23:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, sadly so, Scott.
00:23:27
Speaker 7: I know.
00:23:27
Speaker 4: And I love you all sharing your memories. Matt on the text line as well, he went to two of her concerts here in Adelaide, says she was a legend. She was unique in an industry that can destroy people and she stayed true to herself. Her music has helped me through so many rough spots. I saw her in 2011 and 2014. She was amazing. I think it'll be a dolly day in my office today.
00:23:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there'll be a lot of offices around the world that way this morning. James Murray Bridge says the female equivalent of Elvis. I think it's interesting because of not just the cultural impact as a singer, but the performer through various media, movie star, musical star, obviously, as well, cultural cut through. I'm a little nervous, but I've just heard from the production booth there's a top seven before seven today. Best to do it in two fields.
00:24:15
Speaker 4: Well, Dolly made an appearance yesterday. Thank goodness.
00:24:18
Speaker 3: That's right. In the top seven before seven.
00:24:20
Speaker 4: Jolene actually made the list, which is what I would consider one of our most controversial top seven before seven. So I hope today's is a bit better. We need it to be significant today.
00:24:30
Speaker 3: You might like to contribute to this. The best to do it in two fields. Zero before eight, zero eight, 1395. And we're going to have the best, the top seven before seven. very, very shortly. Let's talk about the weather. Chris Kent at the Weather Bureau joins us. Chris, remarkable couple of days of rain, but it looks like it's passed.
00:24:47
Speaker 13: Yeah, we have.
00:24:49
Speaker 6: It has passed. We've seen, yeah, very minimal rain in the last, sort of, well, since 9am yesterday. A few spots, sort of, probably more likely to be dew through a lot of the gauges through the city and up through the hills currently. So, Yeah, thankfully we've seen the end of that rain, looking at a pretty dry period for the next week now. Temperature-wise, looking like we're going to see some pretty nice temperatures coming this weekend as well across Adelaide, but with the potential for that getting up to around 20 degrees. So something to look forward to at least. But today, looking at partly cloudy, 17 degrees in the city, 16 at Glenelg, also at Elizabeth and Noarlunga, 15 degrees up at Mount Barker. So, yeah, thankfully that rain's gone. But, yeah, those rivers still, the Onkaparinga, still elevated. The waters have started coming down. But, yeah, still above the weir at Clarendon. So, yeah, there's still some minor warnings out there, but we'll probably see those finalised throughout today, I'd say.
00:26:07
Speaker 3: All right, thank you for that, Chris. Chris Kent at the Weather Bureau will be talking about the Onkaparinga after 7 o'clock. Of course, some remarkable scenes. If you're in the Old Nalunga area and you're affected or indeed got sandbags or were concerned that the water was coming your way, let us know. We'd love to hear what your last 24, 48 hours has been like. 8223 0000. Let's go to the Safe Pulse and you can tell Daniel Isaacson's on the line. Daniel, a man's been arrested after stealing a car.
00:26:33
Speaker 10: Yeah, just before 10.45 last night, a man stopped at a service station on Victoria Road, Ottaway and left his Ford Ute running while he entered the store. While this happened, the car was stolen and was last seen driving north along Victoria Road. The victim was able to provide police with live location updates through the car's tracking system allowing patrols and POLAIR to monitor the ute's movements through Adelaide's western and northern suburbs. The car eventually stopped in a cul-de-sac off Berkham Street just after 11.15pm where the driver abandoned the ute and attempted to flee on foot. Patrols located and arrested an 18-year-old Salisbury Downs man nearby in Wexcombe Street. He was charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle. driving unlicensed, driving at a speed dangerous and breach of bail. He was refused police bail and he will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court later today.
00:27:24
Speaker 4: Okay, and a drunk driver's been arrested at Christy Downs, Daniel.
00:27:30
Speaker 10: He's been reported, I believe. So at 11.45 last night, police stopped a Toyota Ute on Chamberlain Drive for the purpose of a driver test. It will be alleged the driver, a 34-year-old man from West Beach, returned a positive result of 0.136, so he's getting close to nearly three times the limit there. He was reported for drink driving, issued a six-month instant loss of licence notice, and he'll be in court at a later date.
00:27:54
Speaker 3: We've had a clean sweep of illegal interactions with vehicles this morning. Someone tried to steal a car, someone was drunk while driving a car, and also you caught up with a man who was trying to steal the wheels off a car.
00:28:04
Speaker 10: Wow. Yeah, yeah, makes you wonder what's going to be next. Just after 4.15 this morning, police were called to a dealership on Main North Road, Medindi, after reports of a man lying on the ground beside a car while the car alarm was sounding. Eastern District Patrols attended and found a BMW missing a wheel and a man in the tray of an Isuzu ute parked nearby. He was searched and police located two jacks, a tyre iron and a socket set. The 48-year-old Elizabeth Downs man was arrested and charged with interfering with a motor vehicle, theft, possessing an article to commit an offence and unlawful possession. He was bailed and he was going to attend the Adelaide Magistrates' Court at a later date.
00:28:44
Speaker 3: All right. Unbelievable. Thank you, Daniel. Senior Constable Daniel Isaacson from SAPAR. We're inviting the audience this morning to participate in the 7 before 7. We give us the sensitivity, potentially, of the subject matter. And indeed, we want to get it right. David Albert, good morning. Good morning.
00:28:59
Speaker 18: Yeah, good morning, guys, given yesterday's controversy. Just wondering if perhaps Jack Black could be included in that.
00:29:06
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
00:29:07
Speaker 3: That's a good one. Yeah, he's sort of almost three fields, isn't he? Acting, comedy, music.
00:29:14
Speaker 8: Oh, and music.
00:29:15
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:29:16
Speaker 3: That's good, Dave. I don't mind that.
00:29:17
Speaker 4: That is a good one.
00:29:18
Speaker 3: We'll factor that into the thinking, plugging into the machine, in other words, Pat and Jess's brains.
00:29:23
Speaker 4: They're now reassessing their list, Dave. You've given them some food for thought.
00:29:27
Speaker 3: There's a furrowed brow looking at a piece of A4 paper out there, so I'm not– I don't know. Hold on to your hats, folks. The 7 Before 7 is coming up in just a moment. Let's check traffic.
00:29:38
Speaker 2: Knockdown, Bill 2.
00:29:39
Speaker 1: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:29:46
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast. Five to seven, our top seven before seven. Best to do it in two fields coming up very, very shortly. But first, let's check in with Melanie Tate, the founder and CEO of the wonderful charity Puddle Jumpers, who we spoke to, must have been three or four months ago, about they'd been attacked with regard to fire.
00:30:12
Speaker 3: And again, there's fire in your life, Melanie. Not one, but two. Good morning.
00:30:17
Speaker 10: Good morning.
00:30:18
Speaker 19: And yes, you're right, there has been.
00:30:20
Speaker 3: So just tell us what's happened.
00:30:23
Speaker 19: Well yesterday morning we got a phone call from the police to say that there'd been a fire out the front of the shop and it'd been the inside bin out the very front doors of the shop but petrol and stuff had been thrown everywhere so it was less questionable about whether it had been a deliberate attempt to light fires because there was petrol everywhere so that obviously changes the story a little bit.
00:30:51
Speaker 4: So do you think you've been targeted?
00:30:55
Speaker 19: Well, it would appear that way. Why, I don't know. And, you know, I think that's probably the biggest question mark is, you know, the volunteers that are at that op shop and, you know, are feeling a bit like, well, you know, what's going on? Why are they targeting this shop?
00:31:14
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:31:15
Speaker 4: Because what does this mean for you now? Do you now have to, is there a bill to fix it?
00:31:21
Speaker 19: Well, they've just really pulled up all the carpet tiles and stuff inside. And I guess for me, the harder part is it's not really the bill. It's about the volunteers feeling like they can volunteer safely in a job where they are basically helping vulnerable people. And, you know, I think that's even harder. Like, how can we put a dollar figure on them feeling safe to go to work?
00:31:44
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I wonder if you're having thoughts about the feasibility of moving, Melanie. Is it on your mind?
00:31:54
Speaker 19: Well, not really because that particular shop is across the road from where our food hub is. And so there is really a good synergy for the people that need extra support. So if anybody had arrived homeless or something like that and needed some extra support, the shop is literally across the road and the food hub itself doesn't have enough space there to be able to store extra items of clothing and things like that that people might need. So It's not necessarily on the cards, but we are installing cameras at the moment.
00:32:28
Speaker 3: We are doing something. I want to ask this as delicately as possible, Melanie, but are these random incidents based on people in the area, or is the nature of the wonderful giving work that you're doing attracting people that are obviously battling all manner of things to your area and to your business, do you think?
00:32:49
Speaker 19: Look, that's a really good question, Mark. I mean, we are canvassing the shops in the local area to get footage of anything that may have caught someone in the act. And that will help us unlock the idea of where it's come from. And obviously the installation of the cameras is going to make a big difference too. So hopefully we will be able to, I guess, if it does happen again, be able to catch who it is. or the footage that the neighbouring shops is going to have, hopefully that will catch it too.
00:33:21
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, it's a horrible run of luck, if nothing else, Melanie. So hopefully your life is less newsworthy going forward and we can just be talking about getting you on and talking about the wonderful work puddle jumpers do and not fire attacks. That'd be nice.
00:33:34
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:33:35
Speaker 14: All right.
00:33:36
Speaker 3: Good on you, Melanie.
00:33:37
Speaker 19: Thanks very much.
00:33:38
Speaker 3: Melanie Tate, the founder and CEO of Puddle Jumpers.
00:33:41
Speaker 4: What is wrong with people?
00:33:43
Speaker 14: Yeah.
00:33:44
Speaker 4: Seriously, the work that puddle jumpers do for people who are in such desperate need in our community, especially at the moment, the weather, cost of living.
00:33:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many lives are affected by a decision like that? It's unthinkable. The top seven before seven. Nervous for this. There's already preemptive threats coming through on the text line. All right, the top seven before seven. Best to do it in two fields. Here we go. Number seven, Erin Phillips. Good luck. World of sport. That makes a lot of sense. Number six. Lady Gaga, recent years, has moved into film, of course. Sure, yeah. Hugh Jackman, number five. I guess stage and screen, musicals. He certainly made his name there. Elvis Presley in fourth, which tells you this is a pretty high-quality list. Mind you, some people would say Elvis is much stronger as a musical artist than he was as an actor. Number three, Arnold Schwarzenegger, movie star Mr. Universe, professional bodybuilder before he went in. Oh, okay, sure. Okay, yeah, raised an eyebrow at that one.
00:34:43
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:34:44
Speaker 3: Number two, Cher, which makes sense.
00:34:47
Speaker 9: Yep.
00:34:49
Speaker 3: TV and movies and, of course, music. And number one, there could be no other but Dolly Parton on this day. As a few of our listeners pointed out, not just a two-field star, but she wrote all her songs too. And the person said, well, Elvis wasn't writing his own music, which is fine, great performer, but. Dolly was writing it all, performing it, and acting in movies as well, which is a good one. I wonder if we missed anyone come to mind for you?
00:35:13
Speaker 4: We have some more suggestions on the text line. Michelle said, what about John Travolta? He's three, acts, sings, and is a pilot.
00:35:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, director as well now as well.
00:35:21
Speaker 4: Well, there you go. And Tristan said, Warwick Capper, sport and acting.
00:35:26
Speaker 3: Just sport and entertainment, I would suggest. When the world of sport, Elise Perry came to mind for mine. She was a teenager and debuted for both the Matildas and the the Australian women's cricket team. There's a lot out there. If we've missed any, as always, your suggestions are welcome. 0-4-8-0-8-13-95. But at first blush, this is significantly less controversial than yesterday, I would have thought.
00:35:47
Speaker 4: I would think that's a pretty okay list.
00:35:49
Speaker 3: But that's not hard. All right, 5-8-8-2-star.
00:35:55
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:36:03
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:36:08
Speaker 3: Eight minutes after seven. Good morning, TV. Joining us for the first time on this Wednesday, the 26th of August. Morning, the passing of Dolly Parton at the age of 80. Some lovely texts in our first hour of the program. Recollections of seeing her live in concert, what her music's meant to our listeners. We're happy to continue your tributes coming through on 8223 0000. The other thing we're going to do very shortly with regard to the weather is discuss... the Onkaparinga River. If you live in the area, maybe you, over the course of the last 24 hours, have had to make the trek to the old Noolunga Football Club where sandbags were being made available. Let us know what that's been like. We'd love to hear your story of living through the river breaking its banks. 50 millimetres of rain was recorded at old Noolunga, which led to this. Some of the records that were broken are unbelievable. Parts of the state got 80 millimetres in a 24-hour period. Records were broken at places like Port Lincoln, Edithburg, so the most rain in a single day in August that we've ever seen. Other records, 150 years old, were broken across parts of the state. Mount Compass on the Fleurieu received the state's highest rainfall. They got 78.6 millimetres, which is an August record for them. Remarkable bit of rain. The reason I bring it up, and I say this, there's maybe spotty rain out in various places this morning, but by and large, It's done. It's over. It's gone. And we're going to get some really nice spring weather over the course of the next four or five days.
00:37:42
Speaker 4: The weekend's looking quite nice.
00:37:43
Speaker 3: The weekend is looking spectacular. Yeah, just looking at the Facebook and YouTube live stream. They're just 20s on Friday, Saturday, 19, Sunday, 21, 22, Monday, Tuesday next week. So hopefully we'll get some more days that felt like Sunday did this past weekend. We're going to spin the wheel in just a moment, give away a Care Alert smart watch. Also coming up this half hour, sorry, this hour, Sean Fuster will go around the courts, David Koch as well. One of my favourite celebrating Dolly Parton factoids this morning. So Dolly Parton was twice offered the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This is the highest civilian honour you can be offered. She's such an antidote to the age and this goes to her, something we spoke about, the theme of the first hour of knowing who she was and just being totally comfortable with that fact. She said it was the Biden presidency and twice with Donald Trump tried to offer her the presidential medal for him. And she said, you know, I've not done politics my whole life and accepting an honor from a president is putting me to uncomfortably close to being in politics or commenting on it or seeming partisan. And I just have no interest in it. And I tell you what, what would have been an unremarkable statement, I think 40 years ago, in 2026 seems so profound that anyone would not want to wear their politics as a sort of badge of honour or a profound statement of who they are. She said, that's not what I'm here to do or here to be. And so I actually think it's on three occasions she rejected the honour because the Trump presidency offered it to her twice.
00:39:09
Speaker 4: And the fact that she's had... different presidents from different parties offer her the honour as well. Tells you everything you need to know about what we know about her politics. It was Biden and Trump who both offered it to her.
00:39:20
Speaker 3: It's a really good point. Yeah, they both saw merit.
00:39:22
Speaker 4: They're not meant to be political, but we know inherently they are.
00:39:25
Speaker 11: Of course.
00:39:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course they are.
00:39:28
Speaker 4: The president of the day decides who gets the Medal of Honor.
00:39:31
Speaker 3: Total discretion.
00:39:32
Speaker 4: So for two different presidents from different ends of the political spectrum to offer it to the same woman, it says a lot.
00:39:38
Speaker 3: It says a lot. So many wonderful factoids about her life. You might have some. You'd like to share this morning on 8223 0000. One text we did get in the first hour, and I think this is totally worthy. Someone said, can you play a longer excerpt of Jordan Dawson's speech from the All-Australian Awards last night. Jordan Dawson, if you're just catching up with this overnight, got his third All-Australian jumper, was voted best captain and most courageous player by his peers, the AFL-PA, vice captain of the All-Australian side, because that's voted by the All-Australian judges, but his peers in the AFL voted him as the best captain. And his speech... was profound. We know about the personal battles that Jordan Dawson's had this year, the family tragedy that he's had to confront, deal with and speak about publicly repeatedly. Well, he spoke a bit about his aspirations, maybe post-football, but most importantly with a message for people that themselves might be battling with mental health at the moment.
00:40:28
Speaker 5: Obviously, the.
00:40:31
Speaker 15: Mental health space is something that's pretty new and pretty raw to me at the moment, but it's definitely something that I want to learn a bit more about and I just want to wish anyone who's struggled with mental health out there or who is struggling with mental health to know that you are definitely loved and the world is a better place with you in it. And that you are enough and that we all love you and that you have beautiful family and friends around you. And like I said, it's a space that I really want to get into, but when the time's right, I'll answer that. But like I said, I just want to say you are enough and you are loved. Thank you.
00:41:10
Speaker 3: It was a remarkable speech. It was. The staging of it, too, the context is important. He'd done the footy part of the chat about the year, and they'd touched briefly on it. It's obviously been a difficult year for you. And they did that sort of perfunctory sort of footy style dealing with it. Everyone applauded. And then he went, you could see him gesture to Jonathan Brown, who was doing the interview, and said, actually, there's something more I want to say. And he just, he came out with that. What a, you just can't imagine that. You can see he tears up whenever he gets close to this, but you can see he's moving into this advocacy space now because he feels he can make a difference.
00:41:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when he's ready as well, which I really liked that he made that point. And I also really appreciated Max Gorn who was– what was it? He was voted captain of the All-Australian squad.
00:41:56
Speaker 3: He's the captain of the Australian team.
00:41:57
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:41:57
Speaker 4: Oh, do you have– Yeah, I do.
00:41:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you made a great point the first hour– Max Gorn's speech is worthy of playing a bit of too. So have a listen to Max Gorn. So he caught up after this, accepting the honour of being the captain of the Australian side.
00:42:08
Speaker 5: I think we saw some leadership tonight. I think for Jordan to get up and did what he did, to speak about mental health, to lead his side through the tragedy that happened in his family, and then to show vulnerability in front of a group of strangers that he hasn't got it right, he hasn't got it perfect, he's battling right now and asking for help.
00:42:26
Speaker 9: That's a captain that.
00:42:27
Speaker 5: I want to be behind.
00:42:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, well said, Max Gorn.
00:42:30
Speaker 4: You know what I love about that as well, and I don't want this to take away from either of those messages that the two men made last night because they're incredibly strong and poignant and I'm glad we're pointing them out. Neither of them did the footy thing of sounding a bit. football player-esque and putting on the credit to the boys and we just support the team and one game after another and it's four quarters, we've got to play full four. They were okay with sounding intellectual and thoughtful in their statements.
00:43:03
Speaker 3: Vulnerable even.
00:43:04
Speaker 4: Vulnerable and didn't have to fall into the trap of, I'm a footy player, I've got to say footy things.
00:43:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to be tough and a bit dumb.
00:43:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:43:10
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's generationally, if that's changing. I think so. The younger guys seem much more comfortable talking about these kind of things than even my age group. It's just not a thing that anyone does with any degree of comfort whatsoever. But they're just saying, you know, there are faults. Every generation has their faults. But one of the strengths that I think this group of footballers that are the younger type, they are more, they're less, they're more comfortable just being smart and more comfortable being emotional and talking about these sorts of things. So I think that's a totally worthy and relevant observation. Let's spin the wheel, shall we, and get somebody a Care Alert smart watch. This is a remarkable product. You can use your home care package or NDIS funding and get a Care Alert for free. Australia's number one personal alert system. Visit carealert.com.au.
00:43:54
Speaker 4: Number four.
00:43:55
Speaker 3: The number is number four. I don't recall us having a number that low before. I don't think we have. This is going to be quite the task this morning. We need someone born in 1929. Oh, wow. So sort of a Great Depression baby. Yeah. which is probably not how you want to be known, but 1929, so 97 or turning 97. I tell you what, put it this way. If you've got a 97-year-old in your family, call us on 8223 0000 because I think getting a Kerala smartwatch in the hands of someone who's 97 is totally appropriate, whether they can call in themselves and claim it or not. So if you've got a 97-year-old in your family, give us a buzz, 8223 0000. I didn't know this. 1929, Vatican City became a sovereign state. So up until that point, it wasn't as it is today. It wasn't standalone. So it was a sovereign state under the Lateran Treaty, 1929, when that happened, and indeed where our Carolette Smartwatch listener was born. 8223 0000 calling now to claim it. Let's talk Dolly. John in Colonel Light Gardens is on the line. John, good morning to you.
00:45:01
Speaker 14: Yeah, look, I saw a documentary on Dolly Parton, and she's obviously absolutely an amazing person. And when she... She wrote that song, I Will Always Love You, which is just iconic, one of the greatest of all time. She wrote that overnight. She parted with her business partner. He was really upset, so she wrote that song for him and sung it to him the next day. So that was just sheer genius. And the second thing is that her character just radiated positivity, fun, energy, and clarity of thinking in a world which is now just too often super critical and negative. So it's just a positive inspirational force, I think.
00:45:45
Speaker 3: Great call, mate. Thank you. Let's go to Jill.
00:45:47
Speaker 5: Morning, Jill.
00:45:48
Speaker 9: Hey, how you going, guys?
00:45:50
Speaker 3: We're well, Jill.
00:45:51
Speaker 9: Yeah, I share that gentleman's view on Dolly. She, you know, in such a horrible, heavy world, you know, she always spoke positively and In particular, encouraged women. Most people know 9 to 5, the movie and the song. And I guess that's sort of where my Dolly journey began. But I think the thing that amazes me is that she's endured over so many decades and using 9 to 5 as an example. She, earlier, I think it was this year, released 5 to 9. So it's an updated version of the song, and it's talking about, you know, how people are the entrepreneurs and, you know, can do your own business these days. You don't need to be working for someone. It's a brilliant song. And, yeah, she just... Even in a lyric, she encouraged people and it's just wonderful.
00:47:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, Julie.
00:47:01
Speaker 9: I don't think there'll be anyone like that.
00:47:03
Speaker 3: Unbridled positivity is something that the world is sorely lacking at the moment. Everyone needs an edge or a message or just having nice people who have positive things to say and contribute is wonderful. an increasingly rare value, it would seem to be.
00:47:18
Speaker 4: Also a message about how she moved with the times. Started with 9.
00:47:21
Speaker 3: To 5 and recently.
00:47:22
Speaker 4: 5 to 9.
00:47:23
Speaker 2: I love that.
00:47:23
Speaker 3: Start your own business.
00:47:24
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to look that song up.
00:47:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, good one, Jill. Thank you. We might take one more. Frank in Birkenhead. Good morning.
00:47:29
Speaker 16: Good morning, dear Will and Stacey. Yes, the world has... Today is a sad day for the world of losing a great actress as well as a singer. Yes, the lady previously... Previous ladies stole my thunder. My favourite movie was 9 to 5.
00:47:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, good on you, Frank. Thank you. Happy to take calls on Dolly right throughout the morning, folks. 8223 0000 or text us on 0248 08 13 95. We'll check traffic and come back with a Care Alert winner on the other side of this break.
00:48:04
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:48:13
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:48:18
Speaker 3: 24 after 7, we spun the wheel. It came up number 4. That corresponded with 1929. A 97-year-old needed for the Care Alert Smart. Watch Care Alert, a family business right here, of course, in South Australia. We love the Steeles. We love their ingenuity and their personal alert systems are second to none. Call them today to find out if you qualify for a free system through government funding or visit carealert.com.au. And Leo and Ross Trevor has called in because, Leo, your dad was born in 1929. Morning, Leo. Good morning, guys.
00:48:48
Speaker 16: How are you?
00:48:50
Speaker 3: Was your dad born in Australia, Leo?
00:48:51
Speaker 14: No, he was born in Italy.
00:48:54
Speaker 3: What brought him to Australia?
00:48:55
Speaker 7: I suppose..
00:49:00
Speaker 14: Work and a better life.
00:49:02
Speaker 4: Opportunity, yeah.
00:49:04
Speaker 14: Better opportunities, yeah.
00:49:06
Speaker 4: Did he come straight to Adelaide, Leo?
00:49:08
Speaker 20: Yes, he did, yeah.
00:49:10
Speaker 7: Back in 1968.
00:49:12
Speaker 3: Did he travel back and forth to Italy when he was younger, Leo?
00:49:17
Speaker 7: Yes, he went back about four times.
00:49:19
Speaker 16: Yeah, okay.
00:49:20
Speaker 7: Okay.
00:49:21
Speaker 21: Yeah, and yeah, it's been a long time since he's travelled again, but he's doing.
00:49:27
Speaker 3: Quite well, actually.
00:49:30
Speaker 21: He's pretty alert. Upstairs is all there, and yeah, he's still doing quite well.
00:49:37
Speaker 4: And I imagine a Kerala smartwatch would ease your mind a bit.
00:49:42
Speaker 21: Oh, yes, for sure. Yeah, I think everyone should have one of them when they get to a certain age, I reckon.
00:49:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
00:49:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a remarkable generation, your father's generation, the silent generation, that sort of pre-Second World War group of people. They grew up in a really difficult time and made wonderful contributions around the world. And, Leo, we're delighted. that the Kerala Smartwatch is coming to your family and coming to your father, 97 years old, just remarkable. All right, let's talk about the remarkable weather. We spoke about some of the 150-year-old rain records for August that have tumbled in the last couple of days. Most dramatically, the sum of that has been the Onkaparinga River breaching its banks. Moira Ware is the mayor of the Onkaparinga Council. Mayor, good morning to you.
00:50:25
Speaker 20: Good morning.
00:50:26
Speaker 3: So what's the state of play this morning?
00:50:29
Speaker 22: Well, fortunately, things have calmed down a bit overnight, which is really lovely, and some of the things we were worried about with the river mouth and the tide getting up, that sort of didn't come to anything, which is excellent. So things seem to be recovering quite well. I know that there's still a few people a bit anxious in Old Norlunga and Clarendon, but the SES have been fantastic as always, and there's been a bit of sandbagging Some of the roads that were closed, McCaffrey Street at McLaren Vale and a couple of other little spots where the roads are pretty low and there's creeks flowing through, they've all seemed to have settled down as well overnight. So, yeah, all in all, wonderful that we've had all the rain and it's really quite nice that it's coming to an end.
00:51:16
Speaker 3: Well, that is some good news. Mayor, thank you. I'm more aware the Mayor of the Onkaparinga Council, Jacob McNeill, is the SES State Duty Officer. Jake, are you guys still working through a backlog of jobs out there, or is it tidied up from your end as well?
00:51:30
Speaker 7: Good morning.
00:51:31
Speaker 14: Yeah, thanks.
00:51:32
Speaker 13: Things have mostly settled down for us this morning, thankfully, off the back end of about 170, 180 jobs overall in the last 24 hours.
00:51:42
Speaker 3: Is that up there?
00:51:44
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's fairly steady numbers for us. It's certainly not the busiest... period we've ever had. But this time around being more sort of flooding jobs rather than our usual trees down and leaky roofs is certainly a bit of a change for us.
00:52:02
Speaker 4: And we've just been looking at the vision on our Facebook and YouTube live stream of the Onkaparinga breaching its banks. It was right up there getting really close to homes and properties. Was that the majority of call-outs to individual homes or businesses? Were they affected as well?
00:52:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. Most of our call-outs were sort of flooding-related for homes and businesses and a lot of preparatory work rather than response work. So our crews were, yeah, they were kept pretty busy.
00:52:33
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:52:34
Speaker 4: There was a hospital as well, the Millicent and District Hospital that was impacted by flooding.
00:52:41
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. That wasn't from the rain, fortunately. That was from a burst water pipe within the hostel itself.
00:52:47
Speaker 5: Gee.
00:52:48
Speaker 3: How's the time?
00:52:49
Speaker 13: Yeah, certainly quite timely.
00:52:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:52:53
Speaker 3: All right. Well, you guys came up with the great work. Remarkable. All volunteers, we reiterate every time we chat with you, and we wouldn't get through these kind of weather events without the excellent SES, Jacob. So thank you, mate. Not a problem. We're here. Yeah, good man. It's been quite a period for you. Jacob McNeil, the State Duty Officer at the SES. 29 after 7, big next half hour on the program. Sean Fuster will join us. We'll go around the courts. And David Koch. with his first comments post-Zach Butters announcing his intention to leave Port Adelaide. You'll hear those next. 20 minutes to eight. David Koch coming up shortly. We'll talk to him about Zach Butters and indeed inflation data, our CPI data out today. That will be a big data point in terms of informing what the RBA does. Last time it came in under what was expected, which led to that August pause. What happens next month when the RBA meets? Well, a lot of that. We're going to learn a lot about that a little bit later this morning. So we'll get Koshi's thoughts on that. But first, it's time for Sean Fuster.
00:54:10
Speaker 2: It's time to go around the courts with Sean Fuster on 5AA Breakfast.
00:54:20
Speaker 4: Chief Court Reporter at the Advertiser. Good morning, Sean. How are you?
00:54:24
Speaker 20: Stacey, good morning. I'm well, although I'm a little concerned about the way 2026 is going. Not only is it giving us horrible things like the loss of Dolly Parton, but it seems like every case I've ever covered is coming back. I'm Feeling a little Jacob Marley at the moment. The chains in life that bind me are coming back around again.
00:54:42
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I was going to say, how many times have we discussed Wendy Sue Dent on the program? It's been a few now.
00:54:48
Speaker 20: Oh, look, this has been a feature of the show, I think, for the entire decade plus that I've been on it because this case has been going for that long. It's definitely been a feature of Just Lawful. And I would love to stop reporting about Wendy Sue Dent. David Lawrence's family would love to stop thinking about Wendy Sue Dent. But when she keeps pulling off the seemingly impossible in her criminality like this, we've got to point the finger and talk about it because otherwise she's just going to keep getting.
00:55:17
Speaker 7: Away with it.
00:55:18
Speaker 3: All right, so for our newer listeners, give them some context, Sean, and then let's get into this most recent escapade.
00:55:23
Speaker 20: Yeah, the simplest explanation is that Wendy Sue Dent told the world that she was David Lawrence's fiancé and she used that as a cudgel to claim that she was entitled to his $ 300, 000 estate. that his family had been disinherited by notes that David had written on the back of all of his possessions, giving everything to his beloved Wendy. The thing was, she'd actually poisoned him using her own medication. She had murdered him in order to make sure that she could claim that money as part of a lifelong history of fraud that saw her claiming to be everything from roadies to major rock stars, through coronial assistants, through to makeup company international superstars. She's completely off the planet, and yet somehow she managed to achieve this for a while. She went to trial twice. COVID got involved. Appeals got involved. Things got very complicated.
00:56:16
Speaker 7: Mr.
00:56:17
Speaker 20: Lawrence's very tight-knit family was dragged through the mud for years. Flash forward now to December of 2024, when Dent finally ran out of appeals, ran out of time, ran out of ability to sue the Lawrences to try to take possession of Mr. Lawrence's body. This is the level to which she went. She was cut off from everything in December of 2024. Now we find out that a year later, in December of 2025, Dent has somehow facilitated the sale of Mr. Lawrence's motorhome for around $ 100, 000 from her jail cell, despite being in prison, despite having no legal right to use it, and having all that money transferred to her so she can draw on it to fund her life in jail.
00:57:04
Speaker 4: So many questions come to mind, Sean. Firstly, though, how? I mean, is she sitting there on Facebook Marketplace in a prison?
00:57:12
Speaker 9: How?
00:57:13
Speaker 20: These are the questions that we put to the Attorney General, to the Premier, and to the Department.
00:57:19
Speaker 13: For Correctional Services.
00:57:20
Speaker 20: They've assured us that prisoners do not have access to Facebook Marketplace. They do not have access to the internet to sell things. investigations are underway at the moment. So this is a live question, something that the authorities do not have an answer to at the moment. The other thing she's gotten around is the fact that those prison bank accounts are only supposed to have $ 300 in them as a maximum. So the question is, does that mean that every time $ 300 come out, another $ 300 goes in? Someone funneling the money here? Has she done this on her own? Is there an associate somewhere or associates plural that are assisting? This is all live questions right now.
00:57:59
Speaker 3: I confess I didn't even know you got a jailhouse bank account. So you get $ 300.
00:58:03
Speaker 4: The only thing I know from movies is that's what you go and buy your pack of smokes.
00:58:08
Speaker 3: And your toothbrush.
00:58:11
Speaker 4: Is that how it works?
00:58:12
Speaker 3: Is there a jailhouse canteen? Where are you spending your money at?
00:58:15
Speaker 20: Yeah, there's a jailhouse canteen. You can also earn money if you're privileged enough to work in a prison. It can go in there. But if family and friends want to send you money, it goes in there. The reason it's got the $ 300 limit on it is to stop anybody from extorting anybody else in prison. The literal jailhouse version of stealing someone else's lunch money. They want to make sure that doesn't happen. If you think when we talked about Kevin Matthews a little while ago and the Cadell Courier-led newsletter that goes around, there's a canteen you can hire in Nintendo's. you can hire a PlayStation, things like that. So that's what you use that money for.
00:58:48
Speaker 10: Right.
00:58:49
Speaker 3: So I guess the intrigue now, as you say, Sean, about this is goes to, is there a circle of people involved that's wider than just Wendy Soudan?
00:58:58
Speaker 20: That's right. And also, as a result of that, what's happened to David's other missing possessions? Because Dr. Bill Lawrence, David's brother, has talked to us about the fact that his Suzuki four-wheel drive is missing. His Mercedes-Benz is missing, his television is missing, his bicycles, which are worth about $ 10, 000.
00:59:17
Speaker 14: Together, are gone.
00:59:18
Speaker 20: Everything that wasn't nailed down is missing because, of course, the Lawrence family hasn't had access to all of these assets for the past 11 years due to the lawsuits.
00:59:29
Speaker 4: That poor family. It's just..
00:59:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, an unending torture, isn't it?
00:59:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, one thing after another after another.
00:59:36
Speaker 20: And as I said, it feels like all the cases that I've covered in my years have come back this year. You've had Lasakas. You've had the 2014 Southeast Freeway crash. You've had Wendy Sue Dent. You've had Raina Jane Cruz. 2026 is a rerun year, and I'm not particularly enjoying it, and nor are the victims and survivors of those matters.
00:59:54
Speaker 3: No, yeah, it's worth keeping in mind that these people have to go through it all again every time it gets dredged up. Exactly. Where are you guys at with Just Lawful, Tom and Sean?
01:00:03
Speaker 20: We are actually talking about the... We're coming to... Well, sorry, I apologise. I'm thinking about where we're recording versus where we're up.
01:00:11
Speaker 9: To live on air.
01:00:11
Speaker 3: Don't give spoilers.
01:00:13
Speaker 7: No spoilers, no spoilers.
01:00:14
Speaker 20: We are dealing with the Zai family, the brazen daylight honour stabbing in Sefton Plaza a few years ago, and the fact that this once unified family that were allegedly so strong on making sure their daughter didn't marry a Christian man start breaking down the minute they get in court. Their family bonds in terms of who's going to get bail, who's not, and who they're going to throw under the bus to save themselves.
01:00:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, just an awful, awful story.
01:00:38
Speaker 4: Shocking.
01:00:39
Speaker 3: Sean, thank you. No one explains it better. Appreciate your time. Thanks, guys. Sean Fuster, Chief Court Reporter at The Advertiser. We're going to check traffic. We'll come back with some more of your textile, a lot of lovely Dolly Parton tributes coming through and some other people too that have made really powerful statements about Jordan Dawson's speech last night at the All Australian. So a whole bunch of really, really valuable contributions from listeners this morning that we'll get to and David Koch in just a moment.
01:01:03
Speaker 1: Knockdown, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:01:11
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:01:16
Speaker 3: Nine to eight. Let's read some text before we get to David Koch. There's some terrific text coming through on 04808 1395.
01:01:22
Speaker 4: Yes, lots of people still talking about Dolly Parton and we love your texts and calls on her throughout the morning. Steve says, Dolly Parton's music is so timeless. My daughter is singing one of her songs for her year 12 music assessment. And she really is one of those people that's transcended generations as well.
01:01:39
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
01:01:41
Speaker 4: And Mick in Townsville, he says, Question, today throughout the world, Dolly will be the name on everyone's lips and in everyone's heads and the song on repeat all day in people's heads.
01:01:51
Speaker 11: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
01:01:54
Speaker 4: I'm not doing the rest.
01:01:55
Speaker 3: No, that was good though. Thank you.
01:01:58
Speaker 4: And a couple of people messaging about Jordan Dawson and his speech last night at the All Australian. This person says they'd like to remain anonymous, but I just want to say a big thank you to Jordan Dawson for making me get some help today.
01:02:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's why he did it. I don't think he gets up there in that stage. There's nothing about Jordan Dawson as a person who screams, I want this moment to be about me. I want to be the star. It's just not his personality at all. The only reason he's going back and revisiting the most painful thing that's ever happened in his life is because he would love to imagine people like that anonymous listener are going to get some help as a result. That's what it's all about.
01:02:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:02:37
Speaker 3: And it's why the whole thing was so powerful. It's impossibly difficult to imagine how hard that is for him to do, but he did it for that listener and he did it for other listeners that we've had texts from and people that have said, that made me think of someone in my family or some such. And, yeah, it was a remarkable moment last night.
01:02:56
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:02:57
Speaker 3: And a nice moment for the football community as well that needed it, needed the good guys to stand up. And they did. Jordan Dawson, Max Gorn last night. It was a, yeah, it was quite a powerful series of speeches.
01:03:14
Speaker 2: David Koch on 5AA Breakfast.
01:03:18
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide Football Club chairman, compare the market economic director. Lots to talk about this morning. Kochie, good morning to you.
01:03:25
Speaker 7: Good morning, team. Stacey, singing really isn't your lane, I don't think.
01:03:31
Speaker 3: Thanks, Koshy.
01:03:32
Speaker 4: When Koshy says that to you, you listen.
01:03:38
Speaker 7: I think you're as bad as I am.
01:03:39
Speaker 3: Well, none of us compared to Dolly Parton, obviously, Koshy.
01:03:43
Speaker 7: No, no, exactly right.
01:03:44
Speaker 3: There's only one.
01:03:45
Speaker 7: Hard Act Apollo.
01:03:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. The Zach Butters news, obviously not a real surprise. Sorry to lose him. Great footballer. Obviously he was on it as well last night with an All-Australian jumper. But now the business for Port Adelaide goes to getting value because you can build a football club around the returns you get on great footballers when you leave. You don't want them to leave, but you get the right value for them and it can actually turn into a long-term positive. What's your message to any club that wants to sit down and deal with Port Adelaide over Zach Butters?
01:04:16
Speaker 7: Oh, look, the message is pretty clear, that we want the very best outcome for Zach and we want the very best outcome for Port Adelaide. And I think, look, every Port Adelaide supporter just cannot question the effort, the commitment, the values of Zach to the Port Adelaide Football Club. And Zach said it. in his statement when he left, announced he wants to move back to Victoria earlier this week, that he will always be a Port Adelaide player. He's got great respect for the club. His best mates play for him. He was in Connor Rosey's wedding party. He lived with Miss Georgiades. Zach not only wants the best for him, that he wants the best for his mates and the Port Adelaide Football Club. And that's the ideal for the two of us. And that's, you know, there's a long way to go till trade week, early October. But that's what we're all aiming for. And I think that would be a great outcome. And I think every Port Adelaide member and supporter would wish Zach the very best. So what's been... a lot of Zach's talk of football and players is that, you know, players are individuals. They have their own family circumstances. And, you know, Zach has his family circumstances where he feels he needs to be back into Victoria. And we respect that enormously.
01:05:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:05:59
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:06:00
Speaker 4: We wanted to ask if we can move on to the finance side of things, Koshi. Inflation data out today. Any indications about what we can expect? And will this play a big role in the next decision by the Reserve Bank?
01:06:12
Speaker 8: Oh, Stacey, always the psychological war games between the Reserve Bank and also the Australian consumer has been ongoing.
01:06:23
Speaker 20: Isn't it?
01:06:23
Speaker 7: You've got Michelle Bullock, the boss of the Reserve Bank, saying, keeping an eye on the whole barf. We'll be looking at the economic data going forward, and we're quite willing to put interest rates up again. If the economic data is inflation and unemployment, they're the two most important figures for the Reserve Bank, starts to go the wrong way. A couple of weeks ago, we had unemployment figures out showing a weakening in the jobs market. Reserve, not much, still pretty strong, the labour market, tracking sort of pretty closely to Reserve Bank forecast. But the other key economic data is the inflation figure. Now, monthly figures, traditionally we say, oh, gee, they're all over the place. You don't put much store in them. You've got to wait for the quarterlies. But about 18 months ago, the Bureau of Stats changed how they measure the inflation. So they're a lot more reliable now. So yes, those figures today are really important. And remember, always a reserve bank looks at the underlying inflation rate, what the economic jargon calls a trimmed mean, which means it takes out a lot of the volatile movements for the month. That's the one they're looking to improve. And if it improves, well... and trim mean inflation comes down, underlying inflation, then the Reserve Bank will most likely sit on their hands again in terms of interest rates.
01:08:02
Speaker 3: Well, we'll learn a little bit more about that picture a little bit later today. Koshi, appreciate your time.
01:08:07
Speaker 7: Thanks, Koshi.
01:08:07
Speaker 4: I'll stop singing now.
01:08:09
Speaker 7: They will never throw some party. I'm just as bad.
01:08:17
Speaker 3: David Koch, the Port Adelaide Football Club chairman and compare the market economic director.
01:08:22
Speaker 16: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:08:39
Speaker 3: Nine minutes after I break at eight, coming up in just a moment, we'll talk more about Jordan Dawson's remarkable speech at the All-Australian Awards last night shortly with Breakthrough Mental Health about the impact and the importance of public messages from figures like Jordan Dawson, who both doubles as someone who is a recognisable footballer, but someone who has lived through real tragedy in his life. as well, so speaks with not just authenticity, but experience. And we're going to get into all that very, very shortly on the program. Breaking it out, as I say, is coming up. More of your texts as well, because there's lots that have come through we haven't quite got to yet. Dolly Parton tributes as well, some callers that we will be calling back. But before all that, you have come across some interesting stories online, Stace, about door knocks people have been getting.
01:09:24
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:09:25
Speaker 4: I probably spend a bit too much time on Facebook. I'm happy to admit that. But in my travels, I have noticed a few people, at least three in the last couple of days, posting about ABS door knockers coming to their house.
01:09:40
Speaker 3: So, yes, they've been- Statistics people.
01:09:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, people from the ABS coming and banging on their door and knocking on their door and getting in touch with them to say, hi, you haven't completed the census.
01:09:50
Speaker 3: Oh, this is the tut-tut doorknob.
01:09:52
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:09:53
Speaker 4: Is there a reason you haven't completed the census? What's going on? Now, I actually think it's quite unusual in 2026 to have anyone knock on your door, even the delivery people. Delivering packages don't knock anymore. So it's got a lot of people a bit- It.
01:10:10
Speaker 3: Is exceedingly rare these days that someone would just randomly knock on your door.
01:10:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. Because you always know who's coming. The drop-in has died with mobile phones. You don't just drop into anyone's house anymore. So you know who's going to be at your door. So when you get a random knock on the door, it is a bit of a shock. So a lot of people are a bit frustrated and annoyed by that. There's also been some complaints about the demeanour of the ABS staff knocking on doors.
01:10:35
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:10:36
Speaker 4: But I just thought it was really interesting that- Well, we don't.
01:10:39
Speaker 3: Do it for- I'm sorry to cut you off, Stacey. We don't do it if you don't fill out your ballot at election time.
01:10:46
Speaker 4: No, they don't knock on your door.
01:10:48
Speaker 3: You just get sent a letter. You get sent a letter.
01:10:49
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:10:50
Speaker 3: That's extraordinary.
01:10:52
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's more that they– do they have the census with them and they say, hi, we haven't received your census yet.
01:10:57
Speaker 3: Here's a paper one.
01:10:58
Speaker 4: Here's a paper copy if you weren't able to do it online. I don't know.
01:11:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe the feedback they've found is that a lot of the cohort that haven't filled it out aren't comfortable online. That would make more sense. Still, you'd imagine in this day and age, to your point, you get a letter first saying our staff are going to be coming around if you had some trouble filling out the census. We've got paper forms or some such. Has anyone– Had a knock on the door from someone at the ABS saying, where is your census?
01:11:25
Speaker 4: And did they threaten you with the fine? Because the fine was, from memory, quite a big one. Wasn't it a daily fine?
01:11:31
Speaker 3: That's right. You're right. It was a daily fine.
01:11:34
Speaker 4: A daily fine. A few hundred dollars a day, if I remember correctly.
01:11:37
Speaker 3: Let us know. If this has happened to you or someone you know, 8223 0000. I haven't met anyone that's happened to. No. That's interesting. If three people online are saying it. And they're all from Adelaide, presumably, as well.
01:11:48
Speaker 14: Yes.
01:11:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're all in Adelaide Facebook groups.
01:11:51
Speaker 11: All right.
01:11:51
Speaker 3: Or if you'd like to remain anonymous, 04808 1395. But we'd love to hear whether you've got a knock on the door from the ABS.
01:12:03
Speaker 4: Today's Breaking at Eight is MotoGP related. There is a parliamentary committee next week that has requested the South Australian Motorsport Board... give evidence and as you can imagine at this time of year we were expecting to have the MotoGP track already released so there was expected to be quite a few questions about the track asked of the Motorsport Board. Now before this hearing takes place next week we might still get the release of the track this weekend we don't know but in anticipation for the committee hearing the Motorsport Board has written to MPs involved in the committee to say we understand The committee wants us to provide an overview of the MotoGP event, particularly in relation to the event's impact on the parklands, including loss of trees and the impact on tourism. The letter then goes on to basically handball the issue. They say, there's been a change in the governance framework in the MotoGP project, and now the motorsport board is no longer responsible for the development of the circuit. They have handballed the matter to the Department of Infrastructure and Transport. So they've said that now falls with and is managed by the department. So if you ask us any questions about the track, we won't be able to answer it. That is now within the remit of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport. That's intriguing. When you go, I will just point out, to the website for the Department of Infrastructure and Transport and go to the project under the MotoGP, it says... The South Australian Motorsport Board is designing the redeveloped circuit and is managing the associated events. The department is responsible for the delivery of the circuit and associated infrastructure upgrades on behalf of the Motorsport Board. So I don't know if they're not talking to each other. Who's in charge? Who's got carriage of this right now? Are they just passing the buck?
01:13:59
Speaker 3: That's a real who's on first type situation.
01:14:00
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:14:01
Speaker 4: So no one wants to answer questions on it. No one's got responsibility of it apparently. What is going on?
01:14:08
Speaker 3: Well, I wonder if responsibilities, and we have to speculate because we're happy to take some clarification on this point, obviously, from the state government. I wonder if the responsibility has evolved as it's become increasingly political and maybe motorsport have said to the state government, well, this is clearly going to be an issue for you guys to sort out. Here are the parameters around how a track would have to work. This is how much clearance we need on the turn. The entry speed is X. So these are the permutations we work with. You make it work. You said street circuit, go sort it out.
01:14:45
Speaker 4: Well, but wouldn't that be, I think that would be the directive coming from MotoGP and then it would be up to the SA Motorsport Board to put it in place. Because there's so many bodies involved in this, right? There's the international MotoGP body. And they would say, you, as the South Australian government, have agreed to do street circuit. We need this. Now it's up to the government and the motorsport board to put it in place. And you would think at this late stage, when we're expecting a track to be released, they would have it whittled down to at least a few options or a couple of different changes in turns or whatever it might be. So they would at least be able to discuss the impact of it could possibly have if it was one of these two or three options we're considering.
01:15:30
Speaker 3: Am I imagining it? Did they not stand in front of a picture of the track when they announced this?
01:15:35
Speaker 11: Yes, exactly.
01:15:36
Speaker 3: This government hasn't got a great record in standing in front of the pictures of stuff, do they? So we have the track, we have the Mount Barker school development, which, you know, there was a big beautiful design of what that was going to look like. The original Women's and Children's Hospital design, there was a nice mock-up of what that was going to look like. The original... The original mock-ups of what major projects are going to look like bear no resemblance to what they ultimately end up being.
01:15:58
Speaker 4: I think, to be fair, in this case, the line has always been, the track will go down these roads, but we're just digging into the detail. We just need to finalise the detail of it. But the detail has been being finalised for quite a while now, and everybody is expecting a track to be released very soon because the government keeps saying they're going to do consultation on it, which I keep asking why. Why bother with consultation? The Premier says the event is going ahead. He wants it. He's paid for it. We won't know how much we've paid ever. But he wants it. It's coming. It's happening. So why consult?
01:16:30
Speaker 11: What's the point?
01:16:31
Speaker 4: If you're going to chop down the trees anyway, like he's doing in the North Adelaide golf course, why do this fake consultation process when you're not listening to 40,000 people who have signed a petition against it?
01:16:43
Speaker 3: That is intriguing. Oh, well, more to come on that story when they work out who's designing the track, obviously. 17 after 8, 8223 0000 is the number for the Royal Show tickets this morning. We have a family pass to give away thanks to the wonderful Drake Supermarkets, or of course you can buy your Royal Show tickets or at theshow.com.au if you prefer to buy them online through the Royal Show website. Donald Trump is at it again. He has threatened overnight to rename Lake Ontario. You might have lost track of this in all the Iran war and big news around the world, but The relationship between the United States and Canada is back to ice cold.
01:17:21
Speaker 4: Yeah.
01:17:22
Speaker 3: Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, has said, well, we will have reciprocal tariffs. Everything you put on Canadian industry, we're going to slap on US industry. That right now is really popular politically in Canada. He's surging as a result of that. And Donald Trump has said, well, fine, we're going to do this. We'll play this game. Well, Lake Ontario, I will rename Lake America. He did this with the Gulf of Mexico.
01:17:45
Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
01:17:47
Speaker 3: So taking inspiration from Donald Trump, just deciding to unilaterally rename things.
01:17:53
Speaker 4: Take ownership of things and rename them.
01:17:55
Speaker 3: As parochial South Australians for the Royal Show Pass, let's rename anything on planet Earth and give it a South Australian name.
01:18:02
Speaker 6: 8223 0000.
01:18:03
Speaker 3: Give something a South Australian name. flavoured name. And it could be anything. It might be something in Australia. It might be outside our territory. We are unbound by laws of naming convention here. We're doing this a la Donald Trump. So if there's something on planet Earth that you can give a South Australian name to and what's what we call it forthwith, do it right now and it might win you some Raw show tickets.
01:18:25
Speaker 4: Oh, I like that. So renaming, I'd rename the MCG.
01:18:28
Speaker 18: Yes.
01:18:29
Speaker 12: Yeah.
01:18:29
Speaker 4: I don't know. Power something.
01:18:31
Speaker 3: Power Park.
01:18:32
Speaker 4: Power Park.
01:18:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:18:35
Speaker 3: The traditional grand final at Power Park this year. Why not? 8223 0000. You'd be in the running to win the Royal Show tickets. With that renaming, we've got some thoughts coming through already. Yeah, we do.
01:18:46
Speaker 4: These are great.
01:18:46
Speaker 3: All right, let's check traffic and we'll come back with some entries next. 24 after 8, we've got a Royal Show Family Pass to give away. You can get your tickets at theshow.com.au or via the wonderful Drake's Supermarkets. As always, the Royal Show is now just around the corner. If you miss it, you'll be left with a serious case of showmo. We at the Family Pass were giving away to someone who renamed something around planet Earth, a la Donald Trump, who's threatening to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America.
01:19:26
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:19:27
Speaker 3: With the latest stoush with the Canadians.
01:19:29
Speaker 4: If he can do that, we just decided, well, you can rename anything these days.
01:19:33
Speaker 3: We're going to name something as Parochial South Australians. So it could be something in Australia, it could be something in Adelaide, it could be something right around the world. Let's get to some thoughts here, starting with Sue in South Plimpton. What are you renaming, Sue?
01:19:45
Speaker 9: We've got West Australia, so I think New Zealand should be Eastern Australia.
01:19:49
Speaker 3: There's an idea. Thank you, Sue. Rita, good morning. Good morning.
01:19:52
Speaker 8: Good morning.
01:19:53
Speaker 9: We should name the Arc de Triomphe Arc de Thébatton.
01:19:57
Speaker 3: Arc de Thébatton. That's excellent. After South Australia's most popular suburb.
01:20:03
Speaker 4: Of course.
01:20:03
Speaker 3: Ben, good morning.
01:20:05
Speaker 21: Yes, the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Munna Parra Harbour Bridge.
01:20:13
Speaker 3: That's beautiful. I quite like that, Ben. That's brilliant. Cathy in Thébatton, good morning.
01:20:19
Speaker 8: Good morning, guys.
01:20:19
Speaker 19: Well, I thought the name Thébatton..
01:20:23
Speaker 17: We can rename it back to its original name, the Barton.
01:20:26
Speaker 3: Rename it to the Barton. Yeah, we can do that. They already do it interstate. Kay, good morning.
01:20:32
Speaker 7: Hi, how are you going?
01:20:33
Speaker 3: Good, Kay.
01:20:34
Speaker 17: I think we should name Adelaide Oval for the next round of finals.
01:20:41
Speaker 19: Crow Central.
01:20:42
Speaker 3: Well, I think it is Crow Central, Kay, whether it's officially called that or not for the next few weeks, at very least that year, Kay. David in Vale Park, good morning.
01:20:52
Speaker 12: I think we should give Donald Trump some of his own back and rename the USA United States of Australia.
01:21:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:21:01
Speaker 3: They don't have to change the acronym, so that works. Thank you, David.
01:21:05
Speaker 21: 8223.
01:21:06
Speaker 4: Confuse fewer Americans that way. We can keep the USA.
01:21:09
Speaker 3: Two can play at that game. 8223 0000 is the number. Lots of wonderful texts. Hilarious.
01:21:15
Speaker 4: Simon says Mount Rushmore would become Mount Frog Cake. I like that one. I think Rick says, I would change the name of every luxury ocean liner and cruise ship to the Popeye.
01:21:28
Speaker 3: That needs to happen. I think that's excellent. These become shorthand for cruise liner.
01:21:32
Speaker 4: These are great.
01:21:33
Speaker 3: There's a 4,000 strong Popeye that's just rolled into our harbour.
01:21:37
Speaker 4: And Rob, let's put it to the French and rename the Bordeaux area of France Barossa North.
01:21:44
Speaker 3: That's my favourite so far. What are you drinking? Is that a Bordeaux? No, that's a Barossa North. I love my Barossa North reds. 8223 0000. What else are we renaming? Don Farrell wouldn't like that in light of our, you know, we're trying to get this EU free trade deal over the line.
01:22:00
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a better negotiation tactic. Look, EU, if you don't want to sign a deal, we're just going to rename all your stuff.
01:22:06
Speaker 3: Fight fire with fire. We'll say to them, look, you can still call it, okay, we can't call it feta cheese, but you can't stop us calling it Barossa North. Chris, good morning.
01:22:16
Speaker 9: Hey, mate.
01:22:17
Speaker 7: How you going?
01:22:17
Speaker 3: Good, Chris.
01:22:20
Speaker 16: I'm going to rename Trump Tower the Tower of Power.
01:22:23
Speaker 3: Tower of Power. Tower of Power. Yeah, there you go.
01:22:27
Speaker 21: Love that.
01:22:27
Speaker 3: Koshy can move in there. Did we read out the one about the dollar?
01:22:31
Speaker 4: No, we didn't.
01:22:32
Speaker 3: I've lost it.
01:22:32
Speaker 4: There's so many texts coming in.
01:22:35
Speaker 3: It was effectively that the dollar bill in the United States would take Benjamin Franklin off and put David Kosh on it.
01:22:40
Speaker 4: And put Koshy's head on the note.
01:22:44
Speaker 3: Who do we like for the Royal Show Family Pass?
01:22:47
Speaker 4: I think the Munapara Harbour Bridge is a good one, Ben.
01:22:51
Speaker 3: I did like that. Ben, well done. Ben, you've got the Royal Show tickets coming your way, the Family Pass, theshow.com.au. For your tickets or indeed go into a Drake supermarket and buy them that way if you so desire. We're getting so many texts through. This one.
01:23:07
Speaker 4: New South Wales has been around for a while. Why not rename it to Not So New South Wales?
01:23:12
Speaker 3: Not So New South Wales. Or someone suggested Victoria becomes East and South Australia.
01:23:16
Speaker 4: Brilliant. They'd love that. They'd really enjoy that.
01:23:19
Speaker 3: I think that's great. This is the great thing. Donald Trump has established a precedent where it doesn't matter what they think. We just call it that. You travelling to eastern South Australia? Yeah, we've got an away game. 28 after eight. 5AA News is coming up. Back in a moment.
01:23:37
Speaker 1: Knockdown. Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
01:23:44
Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
01:23:45
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:23:49
Speaker 3: 21 to 9, if you haven't heard it yet, we're going to play some of Jordan Dawson's remarkable speech at the All-Australian Awards last night where he walked away with a raft of honours. All-Australian nod. He's the vice-captain of that team who's voted the best captain in the AFL by his peers, voted the most courageous, but I think he won most fans last night with his speech about mental health. And he spoke a little bit about the role it might play in his future and his life and had a message. The most powerful part of it was him with a message for people out there. And we're going to play it for you in a moment. So if you haven't heard it, stick around because it's going to start, I think, a really important conversation in just a moment. A series of conversations going on concurrently on the text line at the moment. We've got people with census stories, MotoGP thoughts, and this renaming of things as well. So I think we should do a sweep of those.
01:24:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a couple about the MotoGP. Noel says, In my humble opinion, DIT should be getting our roads up to drivable condition first before they start building a racetrack. Our vehicles have to be roadworthy, but our roads are not. Regards, Noel from Yorks. And he says, and I'm a motorsport enthusiast, but no to MotoGP in the streets.
01:24:59
Speaker 3: Well, how's the pothole situation in Adelaide at the moment? There's one near us that keeps getting dug up. It has to be an NBN spot or something, and it's right in the middle of the road. And the problem with it is... It's not consistently a pothole or a filled pothole enough for you to ever drive safely. So you end up, especially first thing in the morning, I don't know what kind of damage is being done to the car, but there are so many stories like that in the suburbs around Adelaide at the moment.
01:25:25
Speaker 5: Yep.
01:25:25
Speaker 4: But you can guarantee that part of the city, once the track is done.
01:25:28
Speaker 6: Schmick.
01:25:29
Speaker 4: It'll have to be.
01:25:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be.
01:25:32
Speaker 4: And we also got this little tip from Martin in Adelaide. Thank you, Martin. He said, last night, around 10.30pm, there was a team of contractors who, Measuring the width of the roadway adjacent to the Britannia roundabout. Part of Wakefield Road was closed while they did it. If I was a tree on Wakefield Road, I would be extremely nervous. Watch this space.
01:25:53
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good intel.
01:25:54
Speaker 4: Are there any trees in Adelaide that aren't nervous right now?
01:25:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, all trees. All trees. It's a tough time to be a tree in Adelaide. All right, 19 to 9. Last night, Jordan Dawson at the All Australian Festival made a remarkable speech. And just to set the scene for you, he was being interviewed by Jonathan Brown about the Crows season, the honour of being named vice-captain of the Australian side yet again. They touched briefly on the difficulty he'd had personally and how he'd had to deal with that and then play football at a an elite level throughout the year. The kind of typical football interview fair that touched gently on a very difficult subject, but largely I think Jonathan Brown was being respectful of Jordan Dawson and he didn't want to dig too deep on something that the occasion wasn't about. Well, Jordan Dawson made the occasion about that because after everyone applauded him, he didn't walk off the stage. He gestured at Jonathan Brown and said, he indicated, I want to say something. And here's what he said.
01:26:49
Speaker 15: Obviously, uh, The mental health space is something that's pretty new and pretty raw to me at the moment, but it's definitely something that I want to learn a bit more about. I just want to wish anyone who's struggled with mental health out there or who is struggling with mental health to know that you are definitely loved and the world is a better place when you're in it. and that you are enough and that we all love you and that you have beautiful family.
01:27:17
Speaker 3: And friends around you.
01:27:18
Speaker 15: And like I said, it's a space that I really want to get into, but when the time's right, I'll answer that. But like I said, I just want to say you are enough and you are loved.
01:27:28
Speaker 5: Thank you.
01:27:32
Speaker 3: And if anyone at all is cynical or doubts the impact of something like that, I can tell you we've had a number of texts this morning and from people who want to remain anonymous, but just, and Adam, For every one text we get, there's probably another 15 people out there that are either thinking or experiencing the same thing that went, wow, he was talking to me when he said that, and I'm going to do something about it today. John Mannion is the CEO of the Breakthrough Mental Health Foundation. John, good morning. As someone whose real life is working in this area, what did you take from what Jordan Dawson said last night?
01:28:02
Speaker 21: Yeah, good morning, guys. Yeah, the speech he said last night was pure vulnerability and honest and incredibly authentic. You know, it comes from a place of grief and loss for their family. And we must respect that they are still going through that sort of process. But I think there were those powerful words around that you are loved. The world is a better place with you in it. You are enough for a person who may feel lonely, isolated, disconnected, and no one would notice if I wasn't here. And then somebody says that to me. I know full well that there will be people today that will have picked the phone up, reached out to their friend, put their hand up and said, I need to do something about it.
01:28:40
Speaker 5: It.
01:28:40
Speaker 21: So it's incredibly powerful.
01:28:42
Speaker 4: And John, that, as you say, is incredibly powerful. Like our listeners who have said, thank you for that, Jordan Dawson, I'm going to seek help today. Also on the other side of things, it made me think, who in my life might benefit from me reaching out to them? today who who do i know that's been struggling that might benefit from just a little touch base call this afternoon do you think it'll start those conversations as well oh.
01:29:08
Speaker 21: Yeah definitely there'll be those friends that we have maybe lost contact with a little bit a little bit of friends that we've seen a bit of a change that we know they're struggling there are things happening in their life a little bit of friend that's sort of disconnected from everybody that um isn't at the workplace at the same time or is feeling, you can see that there's change in their frustration, the way in which they're talking, they're communicating, et cetera. So I think today's that perfect day to send that text message to say, I was just thinking about you today, just about you, because you never know how powerful that actually might be.
01:29:38
Speaker 3: It felt like the choice of words was really deliberate by Jordan Dawson about you're loved, you're valued, the world's better for having you in it. Is that the kind of language that is... you guys preach to say to people that you might have concerns about?
01:29:54
Speaker 21: I'm not saying necessarily about it, but it's the language you preach. But we preach how do you normalize the mental health conversation? How do we have it in everyday parts of our life? And how do we actually build up the part where we're saying that to actually talk about our mental health is not a sign of weakness. It's actually a sign of strength to be able to talk about it and to be honest. I think the words that Jordan used are incredibly powerful because they're incredibly personal. And this is a phrase we often hear, especially if we're doing work in that postvention area where people often ask the questions, why has this happened? And I always flick the switch to say, you know, how horrible it must be for somebody to be in such a level of trauma that to not be here is their only way out. So the ability to get people to realize that they are loved, they are valuable, they have a great life, part to taking people's lives at a period of time when I don't feel like that can be incredibly powerful. But then making an opportunity for someone just to be heard, just to be listened, to be seen, to be validated. I think just sitting there and listening to that can be very powerful for people. And also realizing ourselves, we don't actually have to fix it. You know, our ability just to sit and to listen and to help guide somebody can be incredibly powerful.
01:31:03
Speaker 4: Do you have any advice for anyone listening today who either, um, maybe has thought about reaching out for help or, as we spoke about earlier, has someone in their life that they think, oh, they might need a little bit more help from me? What would be your top tips today for them to try and do that?
01:31:22
Speaker 21: Top tip today, if it is you that's experiencing this and feeling it yourselves, please reach out. Please reach out to any of our mental health services. People will be there to listen to you. You are not a burden. You are unique, you are beautiful, and people will be there to help you through that process. If you are watching a family friend, don't be scared about having a mental health conversation. It is just a conversation. And the reason you're reaching out is because you care, you're compassionate, you want to be able to help and to listen. And we know full well that most people, when they're having a terrible day and we ask them how they're going, they'll say, I'm fine, thanks. But a lot of us have just went, are you really okay? Because I've noticed something different.
01:32:02
Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
01:32:03
Speaker 21: The phrase I've noticed meant you were seen and that in itself is an incredibly validating concept.
01:32:09
Speaker 3: And I suppose more broadly too, I think there was that wonderful mental health advertising campaign. I think it was Norwich city football club did in the UK that underscored the point that sometimes it's not, it's not obvious as well that there are people that you might think, Oh, I'll reach out to the person to help, but normalizing the conversation, as you said, right at the start of this chat, John actually makes, um, um, It means that there's other people that you might think are otherwise really happy. And the Norwich City piece, for people that haven't seen it, was two guys going to the footy. One was always happy. One was depressed. And the twist at the end of it was the guy who seemed really happy and was friendly with everyone was the one who wasn't there anymore. Because it's the kind of person you never would have thought to ask, are you okay to?
01:32:51
Speaker 6: Wow, yeah.
01:32:52
Speaker 3: And I guess that goes to normalising the conversation, John.
01:32:57
Speaker 21: Yeah, very much so. We've all got that friend that always looks like they've got everything together. We've got the friend that's always the joker, the one that deflects everything, the one that's always organized. But they're probably the friend that's, when they're on their own, they're sitting in the car and they're pondering everything. They're overanalyzing, they're overthinking, they're worried about their relationships, their finances, when the next paycheck's coming, what my future looks like. So never take it on that face value. If you see alterations or changes in people, start the conversation, reach out. I'd sooner my friend keep saying to me, will you stop asking me that than me not ask it at all.
01:33:34
Speaker 4: John, bit of a question without notice, but is today a good day for the AFL community to have a conversation about mental health round and I know these it's been fraught in the past and it feels like there's a there's a day for everything and there's a round for everything but there has been this push for some time now um for the AFL to have a round dedicated to mental health awareness do you think it's a conversation worth.
01:34:03
Speaker 21: Having um I mean I think it's a great conversation to have because it's It's probably the power that sport actually has over lots of areas of our lives. Sport provides us with a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging. So it's an incredible way to send a very positive message. You look at how Jordan used last night's platform to talk to thousands of people, which was incredibly powerful. In South Australia, we've actually had a community mental health round for about the last five years across Australia. our local footy codes across rural South Australia and also Metro Australia. Sorry, Metro Adelaide, I'm getting it right. There are lots of other organisations doing this across the state. So it doesn't always necessarily have to sit with the AFL to be the leader of it because I actually think the magic happens in the community. That's where the major conversations are. That's where your coaches, your connector, your sports club is the centre point of the club and it brings people together. So I think there are a myriad of different ways in which you can actually do this. I think from an AFL perspective, they have got a beautiful platform to send some really positive messaging. They do that already. They delivered the Ahead of the Game youth football programme in partnership with Movember and Breakthrough provide that here in South Australia. So they're already doing it at the grassroots level. Does it need to have a... big day to actually say it, surely 365 days are the big days to have it.
01:35:26
Speaker 3: Good on you, John. Thank you. We appreciate you talking to us this morning. The CEO of Breakthrough Hunter Health Foundation, John Mannion. The reason we're talking about it this morning is Jordan Dawson's powerful speech at the All Australian Awards last night. We're going to take a break. A lot of texts about a bingle at the Britannia roundabout this morning. That sounds like that's causing all sorts of issues as if the Britannia roundabout needed any help in causing issues, but there's been a crash at the roundabout, so You say avoid it. When you drive down to Greenhill Road, it's so unavoidable.
01:35:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
01:35:57
Speaker 3: But it's going to cause some holdups for a while is what we're being told by people at the scene. So you can call in and give us a more recent update. But in the last few minutes, we've got a bunch of texts saying traffic is in all sorts. Thank you for that, Nathan and others. Nine to nine. We're going to take a break and back in a sec.
01:36:13
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:36:22
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:36:27
Speaker 3: Five to nine, right throughout the morning, lovely recollections of and celebration of Dolly Parton's life on the program. People that have bought albums, people that have been inspired by music. A lot of talk earlier about people's favourite films. and so forth. We had a couple of callers now who've been and seen Dolly live in concert, like Gail, who saw her in 2011, Gail. So she was at the Entertainment Centre here in Adelaide, or were you on another leg of the Australian tour?
01:36:50
Speaker 23: No, I saw her here in Adelaide at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre with mum and dad and my sister. She was amazing, played all her hits, all her songs, and told stories about how she wrote the songs. My favourite is Code of Many Colours, and she actually wrote that while on tour with Porter Wagner. on the back of a dry cleaning receipt when she was in the bus.
01:37:10
Speaker 13: No way.
01:37:11
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
01:37:12
Speaker 23: And she wrote that on the back of the receipt as she was on tour with Porter Wagner and incredible. And the story of Code of Many Colors was a true story of when her mum made her Code of Many Colors when they were poor. And it's amazing, the song, and I just loved it. So I love the concert and Valet Dolly Parton. She is amazing and I'm sure will live on. and is just an amazing country star and a star to everyone and an inspiration.
01:37:39
Speaker 3: Well said, Gayle.
01:37:40
Speaker 23: Could be sadly missed.
01:37:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, well said. And we were wondering earlier, how do you write 3,000 songs in your lifetime? And that's how.
01:37:46
Speaker 4: That's how.
01:37:47
Speaker 3: The way Gayle describes it, it obviously just spilled out of her.
01:37:49
Speaker 4: The back of her receipt.
01:37:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just comes to her in moments. What a skill. Yeah, that's a genuine, that's a genius level talent. Ian in One Tree Hill, good morning.
01:37:59
Speaker 14: Good morning.
01:38:00
Speaker 18: My little story about Dolly Parton was 40 years ago. I was in the audiovisual business, and we were bumping in audiovisual stuff into the Hilton in the basement of the Hilton International. And there was a limo there, and I didn't think anything of it. And then we started putting our road cases in, and we're coming to a T-junction of the basement, and the security card's coming out. And literally, I bumped into Dolly Parton in about 86, 87.
01:38:27
Speaker 3: No way.
01:38:29
Speaker 18: No yes yes way and it's still it's still with me now after 40 years it's amazing so she was amazing she was renowned for two things and singing was one of them and the other one i'll let you guess.
01:38:42
Speaker 3: Did you have a conversation with her, Ian?
01:38:43
Speaker 16: Is this Albo on the phone?
01:38:45
Speaker 18: No, I just said sorry because I had my head down with the road cases coming in with all our gear and I looked up and there was Dolly Parton right in.
01:38:54
Speaker 14: Front of me.
01:38:54
Speaker 3: So you had to apologise for almost knocking her over, did you?
01:38:57
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:38:58
Speaker 18: But we saw the security guards and we saw the limo and we didn't think anything of it. And I just, you know, I've got my head down and I'm rolling these road cases along the thing and then next minute there's Dolly in front of me and I had to sort of... say sorry and dodge her and she was getting in her limo. I don't know if she was doing a concert at the time or whatever, but that was 40 years ago.
01:39:19
Speaker 11: Was she small, Ian?
01:39:20
Speaker 4: Could you have knocked her, almost knocked her over?
01:39:22
Speaker 18: She was small and big in other parts.
01:39:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we get it. She clearly made an impression, Ian.
01:39:29
Speaker 7: She made a very.
01:39:30
Speaker 18: Big impression for 40 years. I'm still, you know, I'm still shocked by it 40 years ago.
01:39:36
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Ian, well, luckily you'd missed her, Ian, because we might have been having having had the conversation about the passing of Dolly Parton 40 years earlier. Um, uh, that's, uh, quite the story. When you bump into people, you never know what your memory is going to be of that interaction. Let's check the fuel situation. It's better to be a member with RAA road service. Uh, the cheap spots, the Liberty at Seaford's at $ 1. 93. 5 and, uh, the Leroy's at Mono Para $ 1.
01:40:05
Speaker 7: 93. 9.
01:40:05
Speaker 3: Cheap diesel. Um, The Mobile Hampstead Gardens, $ 2. 38. 5. Have a wonderful dry Wednesday, folks, and enjoy the warming weather. We'll catch you tomorrow from six.
01:40:19
Speaker 11: I was trying to find my way along But all I heard was a.
01:40:26
Speaker 2: Drum Bouncing off a satellite.
01:40:30
Speaker 7: They didn't just keep it on double A, they kept it on double A5.
01:40:32
Speaker 11: This is radio nowhere Is there any better
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: Live from Hindmarsh Square, it's 5AA Breakfast. Will Goodings with Stacey Lee.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: Well, after six, good morning to you. Welcome to a sad Wednesday on 5AA Breakfast with the passing of one of the great legends of entertainment, Dolly Parton. Nine to five, we're just listening to a song she wrote for the movie that she indeed starred in. One of those remarkable careers that span music and film. This is the morning, folks. If you've got Adelaide's biggest Dolly Parton collection or you've been and seen her, I counted... Two Adelaide concerts in the last 20-odd years. 12th of November, 2011, and 13th of February, 2014. If you were there those nights, this is your morning to tell us what it was like seeing Dolly Parton live in person, or indeed, she made an impression in your life in other ways, we'd love to hear from you. 8223 0000. You can text us on 044808 1395. We'll get back to that in just a moment and head to the US, to the Walk of Fame, where there's obviously an outpouring of emotion for Dolly Parton. Today, other stories around Adelaide that we were getting to as well. The Onkaparinga River bursting its banks. Anyone listening to us this morning that is in the sort of old Nalunga sort of area that has been affected, maybe you've had to go to the footy club to pick up the old Nalunga footy club to pick up sandbags, give us a buzz. What's it been like? How concerned are you? Where's the state of play with your property? We'd love to hear from people that are directly affected. So if that sounds like you, give us a buzz. Sean Fuster on the program. David Kosh, looking forward to his comments with the departure of Zach Bartos. What comes next for Port Adelaide? It's going to be a big news morning. We'd love you to be part of it. Stacey Lee, good morning to you.
00:02:02
Speaker 4: Good morning, Will.
00:02:03
Speaker 3: Do you have a relationship with Dolly Parton, a career or a work?
00:02:07
Speaker 4: I mean, I never saw her play. I love her music. And I just, I love the fact that I mean, she was such a successful woman in what would have been in her era a really male-dominated industry in country music. But she did it in a way that she didn't give up on her feminism or anything like that. She showed that women can still be in a male-dominated industry and keep their feminism but also be really strong businessmen.
00:02:34
Speaker 3: She had the big hair.
00:02:35
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:02:36
Speaker 3: She had the lips.
00:02:36
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:02:37
Speaker 4: She would wear the low-cut top and that was okay to be like that while also being successful and writing really good music.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: And taken seriously.
00:02:45
Speaker 4: Taken seriously and doing her job well.
00:02:47
Speaker 3: There's a theme, as you say that, Stace, that everything I read this morning, I just grabbed some little tidbits of stories and things that I liked about her life. But there's one constant theme, this idea that she knew who she was and her message to everyone was, just be who you are. There's, there's nothing wrong with that. So when she, when she, when she, I mentioned, I mentioned nine to five when she's doing the movie scene, she has this very famous quote where she said, I'm, she starred, um, in, uh, a whole bunch, still Magnolia's as well as one of her famous roles. Um, she said, I'm never going to be Meryl Streep, but then, uh, she'll never be Dolly Parton either. So just be you. And that, that there's that constant theme, uh, through everything she does that, um, uh, I absolutely love. And I think about one time in recent years she became newsworthy and we had this big discussion about it on 5AA Breakfast. She was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a whole bunch of people. And on the morning, David and I had this big discussion where we said almost none of the people nominated in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were classic rock and roll. Dolly Parton. The person who agreed with us was Dolly Parton, who said, what? Why am I in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? And she said, she actually said no to the nomination.
00:04:00
Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
00:04:00
Speaker 3: And then subsequently, I think people got to her and said, Dolly, just so you know, we've broadened out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's not, you know, you don't have to be ACDC anymore to get in. It's more of a celebration of music. And I think she accepted the honour. And then wrote a rock and roll album. It was called Rock and Roll or something or other. But it's this whole idea of the whole, she had a wonderful sense of who she was. Yes. And was proud of that and didn't try to pretend to be anything else.
00:04:22
Speaker 4: No, because you can't. And especially when you have Dolly Parton fame, you'd be found out.
00:04:27
Speaker 6: Totally.
00:04:28
Speaker 3: If you're trying to be someone you are not.
00:04:29
Speaker 4: You can't fake it. She didn't shy away from the media, but she also didn't, Put herself out there all the time. Not everything that Dolly Parton did had to be a story.
00:04:39
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:04:39
Speaker 8: You know?
00:04:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Not a constant search for relevance. Yeah. Or just being seen.
00:04:44
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:04:45
Speaker 3: Didn't have a desire for that kind of thing. Yeah. Maybe it comes from her origin. I was just trying to wrap my head and picture this this morning. And I wonder if anyone even, I'm not even sure if it happens in Australia where you get this kind of upbringing. So she grew up in the Smoky Mountains, Tennessee.
00:05:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:05:02
Speaker 3: And I saw this referenced a few times, and I just can't get my head around what this was like. The fourth youngest of 12 children. Okay, we know we've done talkies in the past with our listeners who are from big families.
00:05:11
Speaker 10: Yep.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: A one-room cabin they all grew up in.
00:05:15
Speaker 7: What?
00:05:15
Speaker 3: In the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, which looks like a spectacular western United States. One-room cabin. Fourteen of them. Yeah, fourteen of them. Twelve children. She was the fourth youngest of it. Maybe that's- what grounds you in life. Remarkable, remarkable life. We'd love to hear your recollections too, folks. 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395.
00:05:40
Speaker 4: Helen's done that morning. I just love the coat of many colours. Also, she stayed married for 60 years in that industry.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, great point.
00:05:47
Speaker 11: Great point, Helen.
00:05:48
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of one of those stories that happens where her husband died last year, I think.
00:05:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, not too long ago.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: And they often– it happens that way. People that have been married for a long, long time don't outlive each other by– A long way. It seems like maybe that's the case here.
00:06:05
Speaker 4: It's kind of beautiful in a way.
00:06:06
Speaker 10: It is.
00:06:07
Speaker 3: No, I think it is. I think it legitimately is beautiful. If you ever saw Dolly Parton, if you're a massive fan, this is your morning, folks. We would love to hear from you. We're going to do a bit of reminiscing on 5AA Breakfast. 8223 0000. Text us on 04808 1395.
00:06:21
Speaker 9: Knock down.
00:06:22
Speaker 3: Build two.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
00:06:28
Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
00:06:29
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: 20 after 6, we're going to set aside some time after 6.30 for your Dolly Parton memories, tributes. If you've been to her, unless I'm missing some, I think there are two concerts that she came to Adelaide, 2011, 2014, both times the Entertainment Centre. If you were there, tell us what that experience was like. We'd love to hear from you. 8223 0000 is the number. But if you've got a recollection, you've got a favourite album, song, a movie, quote, whatever it might well be, let us know what it is after 6.30. It's going to be celebrating all things Dolly Parton. Do you want to do a couple of texts now, Stace, just to give people a bit of a sense of what the sentiment is out there?
00:07:08
Speaker 4: This text from Maxine, and she says, Sorry, I can't call because I can't speak without crying. I saw her in concert last time she was here. I got a last-minute ticket and went by myself, so I ended up in the third row. An amazing experience. I laughed and cried and came away thinking, Thank goodness I decided to get that ticket. To wake up today to hear this news has left me very emotional. She was part of my childhood and adulthood journey. And the world has lost a true star. RIP Dolly. You deserve it.
00:07:34
Speaker 3: What a beautiful tribute, Maxine. That was well said. Lovely story.
00:07:38
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of people can resonate with that, even if it's not directly related to Dolly Parton. But going to a concert by yourself, I think, would be a big move for a lot of people. That's a pretty– and this is– It's a pretty brave thing to do. I would feel a bit self-conscious going to a concert by myself, but you only do it when you're a really big fan and you really want to see someone. And for you to be in the third row and get to see her, and now you've got that memory, Maxine.
00:08:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:08:05
Speaker 4: I think that's beautiful.
00:08:05
Speaker 3: You'll never regret that decision, Maxine. A lot of people feeling the same way Maxine does. Let's head over to the US as Reid Butler, our Nine News US correspondent, is at the airport on his way to Nashville. Reid, good morning to you.
00:08:19
Speaker 12: Yeah, morning guys. I was just at the Star on the Walk of Fame as well earlier this morning and the emotion is, I've never seen anything like it, covering these kinds of things. People are devastated. There's so much love for Dolly Parton out there.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: So, describe what it's like at a scene like that for us, Reid, and also give us a bit of a sense of what she meant to Americans. We're hearing about her Australian fans, but She's sort of unique in America at the moment, this sort of southern star with universal appeal that was beloved by everyone. It didn't seem politics ever became part of the issue. She was just universally loved.
00:08:59
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's a really good point. I think she made a point not to. I think I can't remember the exact quote from Dolly, but I know over the years she's kind of said, why should anyone care of what I think about politics?
00:09:12
Speaker 7: I'm going to be.
00:09:12
Speaker 12: Quiet about it, and just focus on the things that she is passionate about. She did so many incredible charitable work. Her philanthropy was incredible. She had a program for teaching young children here in the States to read. I think every young child in, I think it was Washington, D.C., or somewhere like that, in a kind of impoverished, lower socioeconomic area, would receive free books every year. as part of this charitable foundation Dolly Parton had pioneered and started. So there's so much love for her from a music perspective and then also just what she's done throughout her life to help others. And it was on, yeah, like I mentioned, on full display from the Americans I was speaking to just before at the Star who'd rushed down. news still fresh of her passing, and they'd rushed down with flowers, with records, and tears in their eyes. People were sobbing to me, talking about what Dolly meant to them. One man said to me, he thought that she was going to live forever. And today was the realization that she is only human. She's only a human and then she's passed away. We're hearing that potentially she's been treated for some really serious autoimmune issues and kidney problems. That's what TMZ is reporting this morning. And we know she has had health struggles in recent months. But yeah, so obviously she's not going to live forever in one sense, but she will live forever in another sense because that legacy is just incredible that she leaves behind the music and the fandom. Dolly, just you name it. What an incredible human being she was.
00:10:58
Speaker 4: What about the personal side of Dolly in the US, Reid? I mean, we see people doing those tours on the buses and visiting superstars' houses and like that. Was she a bit more private than that? Did people know where she lived? Would she have fan groups near her house or was it she sort of removed from that Hollywood paparazzi lifestyle.
00:11:20
Speaker 12: Look, I think she had like one foot in one stiletto in that world and another stiletto, not in that world. She had, she gave an interview just a couple of days ago to people magazine because the Dolly Parton museum was about to launch in Nashville. There there's a fan clubs everywhere. She's obviously got, I think she had a Vegas residency, which she had to postpone due to, due to health issues. So she was working Dolly World, of course, as well in Nashville. She was working constantly and there were so many ways to embrace the Dolly fandom and get around that. But in other ways, she was quite private. She didn't travel a lot in the last, you know, I think over the past decade, she barely traveled. And she was... a little bit out of the public eye except for the occasional interview and the Instagram posts and things like that. But there was still plenty of opportunities and there still will be forever, similar to someone like Elvis, to be able to dive into the world of Dolly Parton and that's not going to change. And I can just imagine there'll be more opportunities going forward too, especially seeing the outpouring of grief today.
00:12:31
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Well said, Reid. Thank you, Reid Butler. for Nine News in the US on his way to Nashville, where you can only imagine what the scenes are going to be like with the passing of Dolly Parton at the age of 80. It'll be your opportunity after 6.30, folks, to have your say. You can reflect on your favourite Dolly Parton movie performance, could be a favourite album, song, concert, the time. Just tell us about the time you saw her live. If you did, surely some of our audiences have been to see her live. Maxine obviously did quite famously now with that beautiful text in the first half hour but if you did too we'd love to hear your story on the program this morning as we celebrate an absolute titan of the entertainment industry for the last 60 years 7.8 degrees outside at the moment the apparent temperature 6.7 so this is actually as cool of a morning as we've had in some time uh 9 to 17 the top uh but there's no rain forecast so that's newsworthy and there's no rain forecast through until next tuesday where we get a little bit but how about this sunny tomorrow and 19 sunny and friday and 20 mostly sunny saturday and 20 19 sunday 21 and sunny on monday and 22 with that shower coming on tuesday so maybe it changes But the reality is it's going to start feeling a lot like spring over the course of the next five or so days. Today, a little bit cooler, but from tomorrow onward, some really beautiful weather on the way. Tom Wren's in the 5AA Breakfast Studio, and I think in the absence of Dolly Parton's passing, Renny, we'd be talking about one of the more extraordinary speeches in the history of Australian rules footy last night by Jordan Dawson at the All-Australian Honours. Called Glider on our order a new door with operator before the end of September, received two extra handsets.
00:14:10
Speaker 5: It was..
00:14:11
Speaker 3: He made what was a celebration of footy during a difficult week a remarkable celebration of humanity.
00:14:17
Speaker 11: He did, didn't he? He was exceptional. You're right, Will. He earned another All-Australian Blazer. He was voted the vice captain. He was voted the best captain by his peers, so I'm not sure how he didn't then get named the captain.
00:14:29
Speaker 3: This is what he does now. That happened last year, didn't it?
00:14:31
Speaker 4: Is that unusual?
00:14:32
Speaker 11: It seemed bizarre to me.
00:14:32
Speaker 3: So it's happened to him two years in a row. I think last year he was best captain and vice captain.
00:14:36
Speaker 14: Yes.
00:14:37
Speaker 11: So it went to Max Gorn for the actual team, but he was– Also voted most courageous player. So he earned his, I think it's his third All-Australian Blazer. But he made a really poignant speech when he was talking with Jonathan Brown from Fox footy up on the stage about mental health. And obviously he tragically lost his brother earlier this year. His father was there last night. Very emotional. Let's have a bit of a listen to what he had to say, Will.
00:15:05
Speaker 15: The mental health space is something that's pretty new and pretty raw to me at the moment, but it's definitely something that I want to learn a bit more about. I just want to wish anyone who's struggled with mental health out there or who is struggling with mental health to know that you are definitely loved and the world is a better place.
00:15:24
Speaker 7: When you're in it.
00:15:25
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was really touching.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: Him coming back to the microphone after the official chat had finished because he had something he wanted to say was really powerful. And it's just no one else in a walk– and tragedy happens to lots of people, probably everyone in their life at some point in time. No one has to get up and be repeatedly asked about it in public or do public speeches about it or is expected to address it every two seconds like a bloke in their 20s. Jordan Dawson's a veteran of football. We sort of think of these guys as much older and more mature. He's a bloke in his 20s coming to grips with the sort of family tragedy that some people never get over. And here he is now trying to spread a message of love and looking after yourself.
00:16:02
Speaker 5: That's right.
00:16:02
Speaker 3: What a remarkable person.
00:16:03
Speaker 4: I liked the way he also set some boundaries in his little speech. Like he said, there will be a time where I want to talk about it and campaign about this. And I'll get to that in a way of saying, I want to address it. Yes, I'm going to campaign in my own way, but when I'm ready, I will do that. I thought that was a really nice way of doing it.
00:16:20
Speaker 11: Yeah, and he'll be a huge champion for it because of who he is and the leadership he's already shown. I mean, but the grief is still so raw. I mean, how do you ever sort of process that? It's really difficult and in such a public way. So well done to him last night. He was exceptional. He's an amazing person. So that was, you know, pretty moving. Just in terms of the rest of the night, Wayne Miller earned his first All-Australian jacket, so that was great for him.
00:16:44
Speaker 4: Well deserved.
00:16:45
Speaker 11: Yeah, one of two crows. Fremantle had the most. They had five players out of the 23. Not surprising when you're the top side. Brisbane had three. Then a few clubs had two. Port had the one with Zach Butters. So well done to Butters. Thoroughly deserved it. He made the bench. That was outstanding. So a lovely night in all. And Dolly Parton also, she was an actress. Still Magnolia, not sure if you saw her.
00:17:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, we mentioned that from 89. Great movie. One of the all-timers. But what a voice.
00:17:13
Speaker 16: Yeah.
00:17:13
Speaker 3: Unbelievable voice. You've sung a bit of Dolly Parton over the journey, haven't you? Love Dolly Parton.
00:17:17
Speaker 11: Islands in the Stream. One of my favourites. Nine to five.
00:17:20
Speaker 4: One of your favourites as well.
00:17:21
Speaker 5: No.
00:17:22
Speaker 3: Ben Jordan suggested we play that and I would have thought.
00:17:25
Speaker 4: I think that'll be happening, Ben. Don't you worry.
00:17:28
Speaker 3: There couldn't be a more offensive way to celebrate one of the greats to have ever sung. and then have my rendition being played.
00:17:33
Speaker 11: No, we need it. The fans want it.
00:17:35
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought. I think the tapes have been destroyed. Are you ready?
00:17:39
Speaker 11: Thanks, guys.
00:17:43
Speaker 7: Knockdown.
00:17:43
Speaker 1: Bill 2. With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:17:55
Speaker 3: 21 to 7, the phone lines are open, folks. If you're a Dolly Parton fan, you ever saw her live, you've got one record or six or maybe many more. You know she wrote over 3,000 songs? What? 3,000 songs. It's unbelievable. Sold 100 million records worldwide. How many of them are here in Adelaide? How many people listening right now have a Dolly Parton vinyl record in their cupboard at home? If you do, give us a call, 8223 0000. It's not all hers.
00:18:27
Speaker 4: I'm assuming she would, she would have sold some of them to other people.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: Uh, no, that she, it was written this morning. She wrote 3000 songs. It's hard to get your head around. You can text us too. And zero to four, eight, zero, eight, 1395. But if you, If you've got a record, or even better, if you saw her play. Now, we've got two concerts we've been talking about that Dolly Parton played here in Adelaide, the 12th of November, 2011, and the 30th of February, 2014. But we've got a text alerting us to another one.
00:18:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, from Scott. He says, hi, Dolly and Kenny Rogers performed at Football Park on the 13th of February in 1987 in front of 60,000 fans.
00:19:03
Speaker 3: The Oz Concerts website. Need to update. Scott, they missed that one. Thank you for letting us know. 8223 0000 for your Dolly Parton recollections. Margaret in Paraffood Gardens, good morning.
00:19:15
Speaker 15: Good morning.
00:19:15
Speaker 17: What a sad day indeed.
00:19:16
Speaker 3: It really is.
00:19:17
Speaker 17: I just, I had a little book of her quotes and for the life of me, I can't find it. But I just, I really loved this morning the way you said that she was a very authentic person. And just by looking at her, you would look at her and think that she wasn't. Because she was always so dolled up, pardon the pun, massive amount of makeup and obviously wigs. And I just remember that made me feel really good because I've always worn so much makeup and I've just thought that that's just me. And so when I heard that she did that, I just, that made me feel that's okay. And I remember one of the little quotes too, she said when she was young, she used to like looking at the ladies of the night. She used to think that they looked really beautiful with all their makeup and their fancy dresses. And I think that's where she got some of her inspiration from. And yeah, One quote I do remember, she said, there's no such thing as natural beauty. That's why God made makeup.
00:20:09
Speaker 3: That's very funny.
00:20:13
Speaker 17: And I'll just leave you with this. Still Magnolia is obviously most people have seen at the must. That's the one if you need a good cry. If you want to have a good laugh, watch First Wives Club. It is absolutely amazing. It's about wives that have been dumped and they start this club. It is a spectacular movie, full of singing. It's got Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn. It's a brilliant, brilliant movie.
00:20:35
Speaker 3: That's a great suggestion. Good on you, Margaret. Thank you for that. Margaret and Parafield Gardens. Lots of great texts coming through as well with celebrations of Dolly Parton's life and our listeners as massive fans.
00:20:46
Speaker 9: Yep.
00:20:46
Speaker 4: This one from Matt. Dolly would have gone down as, would have to go down as one of the greats. She had so many hits that will live with us forever and her generosity through philanthropy. She changed so many lives for women, children and men. A very sad day indeed. And this one from Andrew in Kersbrook. My father used to play Dolly albums. She had this song about a young girl and a puppy dog called Little Andy. I just listened to it. It made me quite emotional. R.I.P. Dolly Parton.
00:21:13
Speaker 3: Well, that's what we want to hear from you. If you've got a Dolly Parton record CD in your collection, let us know. 8223 0000. You buy one and it's got a story that comes with why you're a fan, what you love, what period of your life that was, what period of her life it was.
00:21:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, music does that to you, doesn't it? It can take you back to a moment in time like it did for Andrew where my dad used to play that song. I just listened to it and it took him right back there to that moment.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: My favourite little tidbit out of this morning that gives you some sense, because whenever really famous major entertainers die, it can all feel the same. Oh, this person was... And we're not ranking their significance, but to give you a sense of how important Dolly Parton is seen in America. So Donald Trump has put out an edict that all American flags will be lowered for one week. All American flags. Oh, for Dolly? For Dolly Parton.
00:22:07
Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
00:22:07
Speaker 5: Right?
00:22:08
Speaker 3: Now, the significance of that is actually the one-week component, because the flags will often be lowered to half-mast for various passings, and there are a few things in the U.S., that are actually dictated by law there. So if a Supreme Court judge dies or a president or a vice president, it might be 30 days. They've actually got it all rated out. If it's a member of Congress, it's only two days. Read into that what you will. Supreme Court justices, I think, get 10 days, for example. Seven days is really significant. The last time a general member of the public got the flags lowered for seven days was in 1965.
00:22:42
Speaker 10: Wow.
00:22:44
Speaker 3: When Lyndon Johnson ordered the flags lowered for the death of Winston Churchill. Oh, wow. So, 1965, World War II still fresh in everyone's memory. This level of honour doesn't happen. So, in recent times, big figures that have had their flags lowered in the US, the president's usually said, one day or two days. She's been conferred an honour in her passing that is unprecedented for an entertainer. Put it that way. You had to be Winston Churchill who defeated the Nazis to get seven days before. This is a really important figure in the United States. This is not just an entertainer.
00:23:19
Speaker 4: And it's impacting so many people here as well. Scott, morning, guys. I've just turned on. Has Dolly passed? What a crap way to start the day.
00:23:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, sadly so, Scott.
00:23:27
Speaker 7: I know.
00:23:27
Speaker 4: And I love you all sharing your memories. Matt on the text line as well, he went to two of her concerts here in Adelaide, says she was a legend. She was unique in an industry that can destroy people and she stayed true to herself. Her music has helped me through so many rough spots. I saw her in 2011 and 2014. She was amazing. I think it'll be a dolly day in my office today.
00:23:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there'll be a lot of offices around the world that way this morning. James Murray Bridge says the female equivalent of Elvis. I think it's interesting because of not just the cultural impact as a singer, but the performer through various media, movie star, musical star, obviously, as well, cultural cut through. I'm a little nervous, but I've just heard from the production booth there's a top seven before seven today. Best to do it in two fields.
00:24:15
Speaker 4: Well, Dolly made an appearance yesterday. Thank goodness.
00:24:18
Speaker 3: That's right. In the top seven before seven.
00:24:20
Speaker 4: Jolene actually made the list, which is what I would consider one of our most controversial top seven before seven. So I hope today's is a bit better. We need it to be significant today.
00:24:30
Speaker 3: You might like to contribute to this. The best to do it in two fields. Zero before eight, zero eight, 1395. And we're going to have the best, the top seven before seven. very, very shortly. Let's talk about the weather. Chris Kent at the Weather Bureau joins us. Chris, remarkable couple of days of rain, but it looks like it's passed.
00:24:47
Speaker 13: Yeah, we have.
00:24:49
Speaker 6: It has passed. We've seen, yeah, very minimal rain in the last, sort of, well, since 9am yesterday. A few spots, sort of, probably more likely to be dew through a lot of the gauges through the city and up through the hills currently. So, Yeah, thankfully we've seen the end of that rain, looking at a pretty dry period for the next week now. Temperature-wise, looking like we're going to see some pretty nice temperatures coming this weekend as well across Adelaide, but with the potential for that getting up to around 20 degrees. So something to look forward to at least. But today, looking at partly cloudy, 17 degrees in the city, 16 at Glenelg, also at Elizabeth and Noarlunga, 15 degrees up at Mount Barker. So, yeah, thankfully that rain's gone. But, yeah, those rivers still, the Onkaparinga, still elevated. The waters have started coming down. But, yeah, still above the weir at Clarendon. So, yeah, there's still some minor warnings out there, but we'll probably see those finalised throughout today, I'd say.
00:26:07
Speaker 3: All right, thank you for that, Chris. Chris Kent at the Weather Bureau will be talking about the Onkaparinga after 7 o'clock. Of course, some remarkable scenes. If you're in the Old Nalunga area and you're affected or indeed got sandbags or were concerned that the water was coming your way, let us know. We'd love to hear what your last 24, 48 hours has been like. 8223 0000. Let's go to the Safe Pulse and you can tell Daniel Isaacson's on the line. Daniel, a man's been arrested after stealing a car.
00:26:33
Speaker 10: Yeah, just before 10.45 last night, a man stopped at a service station on Victoria Road, Ottaway and left his Ford Ute running while he entered the store. While this happened, the car was stolen and was last seen driving north along Victoria Road. The victim was able to provide police with live location updates through the car's tracking system allowing patrols and POLAIR to monitor the ute's movements through Adelaide's western and northern suburbs. The car eventually stopped in a cul-de-sac off Berkham Street just after 11.15pm where the driver abandoned the ute and attempted to flee on foot. Patrols located and arrested an 18-year-old Salisbury Downs man nearby in Wexcombe Street. He was charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle. driving unlicensed, driving at a speed dangerous and breach of bail. He was refused police bail and he will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court later today.
00:27:24
Speaker 4: Okay, and a drunk driver's been arrested at Christy Downs, Daniel.
00:27:30
Speaker 10: He's been reported, I believe. So at 11.45 last night, police stopped a Toyota Ute on Chamberlain Drive for the purpose of a driver test. It will be alleged the driver, a 34-year-old man from West Beach, returned a positive result of 0.136, so he's getting close to nearly three times the limit there. He was reported for drink driving, issued a six-month instant loss of licence notice, and he'll be in court at a later date.
00:27:54
Speaker 3: We've had a clean sweep of illegal interactions with vehicles this morning. Someone tried to steal a car, someone was drunk while driving a car, and also you caught up with a man who was trying to steal the wheels off a car.
00:28:04
Speaker 10: Wow. Yeah, yeah, makes you wonder what's going to be next. Just after 4.15 this morning, police were called to a dealership on Main North Road, Medindi, after reports of a man lying on the ground beside a car while the car alarm was sounding. Eastern District Patrols attended and found a BMW missing a wheel and a man in the tray of an Isuzu ute parked nearby. He was searched and police located two jacks, a tyre iron and a socket set. The 48-year-old Elizabeth Downs man was arrested and charged with interfering with a motor vehicle, theft, possessing an article to commit an offence and unlawful possession. He was bailed and he was going to attend the Adelaide Magistrates' Court at a later date.
00:28:44
Speaker 3: All right. Unbelievable. Thank you, Daniel. Senior Constable Daniel Isaacson from SAPAR. We're inviting the audience this morning to participate in the 7 before 7. We give us the sensitivity, potentially, of the subject matter. And indeed, we want to get it right. David Albert, good morning. Good morning.
00:28:59
Speaker 18: Yeah, good morning, guys, given yesterday's controversy. Just wondering if perhaps Jack Black could be included in that.
00:29:06
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
00:29:07
Speaker 3: That's a good one. Yeah, he's sort of almost three fields, isn't he? Acting, comedy, music.
00:29:14
Speaker 8: Oh, and music.
00:29:15
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:29:16
Speaker 3: That's good, Dave. I don't mind that.
00:29:17
Speaker 4: That is a good one.
00:29:18
Speaker 3: We'll factor that into the thinking, plugging into the machine, in other words, Pat and Jess's brains.
00:29:23
Speaker 4: They're now reassessing their list, Dave. You've given them some food for thought.
00:29:27
Speaker 3: There's a furrowed brow looking at a piece of A4 paper out there, so I'm not– I don't know. Hold on to your hats, folks. The 7 Before 7 is coming up in just a moment. Let's check traffic.
00:29:38
Speaker 2: Knockdown, Bill 2.
00:29:39
Speaker 1: With Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:29:46
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast. Five to seven, our top seven before seven. Best to do it in two fields coming up very, very shortly. But first, let's check in with Melanie Tate, the founder and CEO of the wonderful charity Puddle Jumpers, who we spoke to, must have been three or four months ago, about they'd been attacked with regard to fire.
00:30:12
Speaker 3: And again, there's fire in your life, Melanie. Not one, but two. Good morning.
00:30:17
Speaker 10: Good morning.
00:30:18
Speaker 19: And yes, you're right, there has been.
00:30:20
Speaker 3: So just tell us what's happened.
00:30:23
Speaker 19: Well yesterday morning we got a phone call from the police to say that there'd been a fire out the front of the shop and it'd been the inside bin out the very front doors of the shop but petrol and stuff had been thrown everywhere so it was less questionable about whether it had been a deliberate attempt to light fires because there was petrol everywhere so that obviously changes the story a little bit.
00:30:51
Speaker 4: So do you think you've been targeted?
00:30:55
Speaker 19: Well, it would appear that way. Why, I don't know. And, you know, I think that's probably the biggest question mark is, you know, the volunteers that are at that op shop and, you know, are feeling a bit like, well, you know, what's going on? Why are they targeting this shop?
00:31:14
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:31:15
Speaker 4: Because what does this mean for you now? Do you now have to, is there a bill to fix it?
00:31:21
Speaker 19: Well, they've just really pulled up all the carpet tiles and stuff inside. And I guess for me, the harder part is it's not really the bill. It's about the volunteers feeling like they can volunteer safely in a job where they are basically helping vulnerable people. And, you know, I think that's even harder. Like, how can we put a dollar figure on them feeling safe to go to work?
00:31:44
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I wonder if you're having thoughts about the feasibility of moving, Melanie. Is it on your mind?
00:31:54
Speaker 19: Well, not really because that particular shop is across the road from where our food hub is. And so there is really a good synergy for the people that need extra support. So if anybody had arrived homeless or something like that and needed some extra support, the shop is literally across the road and the food hub itself doesn't have enough space there to be able to store extra items of clothing and things like that that people might need. So It's not necessarily on the cards, but we are installing cameras at the moment.
00:32:28
Speaker 3: We are doing something. I want to ask this as delicately as possible, Melanie, but are these random incidents based on people in the area, or is the nature of the wonderful giving work that you're doing attracting people that are obviously battling all manner of things to your area and to your business, do you think?
00:32:49
Speaker 19: Look, that's a really good question, Mark. I mean, we are canvassing the shops in the local area to get footage of anything that may have caught someone in the act. And that will help us unlock the idea of where it's come from. And obviously the installation of the cameras is going to make a big difference too. So hopefully we will be able to, I guess, if it does happen again, be able to catch who it is. or the footage that the neighbouring shops is going to have, hopefully that will catch it too.
00:33:21
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, it's a horrible run of luck, if nothing else, Melanie. So hopefully your life is less newsworthy going forward and we can just be talking about getting you on and talking about the wonderful work puddle jumpers do and not fire attacks. That'd be nice.
00:33:34
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:33:35
Speaker 14: All right.
00:33:36
Speaker 3: Good on you, Melanie.
00:33:37
Speaker 19: Thanks very much.
00:33:38
Speaker 3: Melanie Tate, the founder and CEO of Puddle Jumpers.
00:33:41
Speaker 4: What is wrong with people?
00:33:43
Speaker 14: Yeah.
00:33:44
Speaker 4: Seriously, the work that puddle jumpers do for people who are in such desperate need in our community, especially at the moment, the weather, cost of living.
00:33:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many lives are affected by a decision like that? It's unthinkable. The top seven before seven. Nervous for this. There's already preemptive threats coming through on the text line. All right, the top seven before seven. Best to do it in two fields. Here we go. Number seven, Erin Phillips. Good luck. World of sport. That makes a lot of sense. Number six. Lady Gaga, recent years, has moved into film, of course. Sure, yeah. Hugh Jackman, number five. I guess stage and screen, musicals. He certainly made his name there. Elvis Presley in fourth, which tells you this is a pretty high-quality list. Mind you, some people would say Elvis is much stronger as a musical artist than he was as an actor. Number three, Arnold Schwarzenegger, movie star Mr. Universe, professional bodybuilder before he went in. Oh, okay, sure. Okay, yeah, raised an eyebrow at that one.
00:34:43
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:34:44
Speaker 3: Number two, Cher, which makes sense.
00:34:47
Speaker 9: Yep.
00:34:49
Speaker 3: TV and movies and, of course, music. And number one, there could be no other but Dolly Parton on this day. As a few of our listeners pointed out, not just a two-field star, but she wrote all her songs too. And the person said, well, Elvis wasn't writing his own music, which is fine, great performer, but. Dolly was writing it all, performing it, and acting in movies as well, which is a good one. I wonder if we missed anyone come to mind for you?
00:35:13
Speaker 4: We have some more suggestions on the text line. Michelle said, what about John Travolta? He's three, acts, sings, and is a pilot.
00:35:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, director as well now as well.
00:35:21
Speaker 4: Well, there you go. And Tristan said, Warwick Capper, sport and acting.
00:35:26
Speaker 3: Just sport and entertainment, I would suggest. When the world of sport, Elise Perry came to mind for mine. She was a teenager and debuted for both the Matildas and the the Australian women's cricket team. There's a lot out there. If we've missed any, as always, your suggestions are welcome. 0-4-8-0-8-13-95. But at first blush, this is significantly less controversial than yesterday, I would have thought.
00:35:47
Speaker 4: I would think that's a pretty okay list.
00:35:49
Speaker 3: But that's not hard. All right, 5-8-8-2-star.
00:35:55
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:36:03
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:36:08
Speaker 3: Eight minutes after seven. Good morning, TV. Joining us for the first time on this Wednesday, the 26th of August. Morning, the passing of Dolly Parton at the age of 80. Some lovely texts in our first hour of the program. Recollections of seeing her live in concert, what her music's meant to our listeners. We're happy to continue your tributes coming through on 8223 0000. The other thing we're going to do very shortly with regard to the weather is discuss... the Onkaparinga River. If you live in the area, maybe you, over the course of the last 24 hours, have had to make the trek to the old Noolunga Football Club where sandbags were being made available. Let us know what that's been like. We'd love to hear your story of living through the river breaking its banks. 50 millimetres of rain was recorded at old Noolunga, which led to this. Some of the records that were broken are unbelievable. Parts of the state got 80 millimetres in a 24-hour period. Records were broken at places like Port Lincoln, Edithburg, so the most rain in a single day in August that we've ever seen. Other records, 150 years old, were broken across parts of the state. Mount Compass on the Fleurieu received the state's highest rainfall. They got 78.6 millimetres, which is an August record for them. Remarkable bit of rain. The reason I bring it up, and I say this, there's maybe spotty rain out in various places this morning, but by and large, It's done. It's over. It's gone. And we're going to get some really nice spring weather over the course of the next four or five days.
00:37:42
Speaker 4: The weekend's looking quite nice.
00:37:43
Speaker 3: The weekend is looking spectacular. Yeah, just looking at the Facebook and YouTube live stream. They're just 20s on Friday, Saturday, 19, Sunday, 21, 22, Monday, Tuesday next week. So hopefully we'll get some more days that felt like Sunday did this past weekend. We're going to spin the wheel in just a moment, give away a Care Alert smart watch. Also coming up this half hour, sorry, this hour, Sean Fuster will go around the courts, David Koch as well. One of my favourite celebrating Dolly Parton factoids this morning. So Dolly Parton was twice offered the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This is the highest civilian honour you can be offered. She's such an antidote to the age and this goes to her, something we spoke about, the theme of the first hour of knowing who she was and just being totally comfortable with that fact. She said it was the Biden presidency and twice with Donald Trump tried to offer her the presidential medal for him. And she said, you know, I've not done politics my whole life and accepting an honor from a president is putting me to uncomfortably close to being in politics or commenting on it or seeming partisan. And I just have no interest in it. And I tell you what, what would have been an unremarkable statement, I think 40 years ago, in 2026 seems so profound that anyone would not want to wear their politics as a sort of badge of honour or a profound statement of who they are. She said, that's not what I'm here to do or here to be. And so I actually think it's on three occasions she rejected the honour because the Trump presidency offered it to her twice.
00:39:09
Speaker 4: And the fact that she's had... different presidents from different parties offer her the honour as well. Tells you everything you need to know about what we know about her politics. It was Biden and Trump who both offered it to her.
00:39:20
Speaker 3: It's a really good point. Yeah, they both saw merit.
00:39:22
Speaker 4: They're not meant to be political, but we know inherently they are.
00:39:25
Speaker 11: Of course.
00:39:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course they are.
00:39:28
Speaker 4: The president of the day decides who gets the Medal of Honor.
00:39:31
Speaker 3: Total discretion.
00:39:32
Speaker 4: So for two different presidents from different ends of the political spectrum to offer it to the same woman, it says a lot.
00:39:38
Speaker 3: It says a lot. So many wonderful factoids about her life. You might have some. You'd like to share this morning on 8223 0000. One text we did get in the first hour, and I think this is totally worthy. Someone said, can you play a longer excerpt of Jordan Dawson's speech from the All-Australian Awards last night. Jordan Dawson, if you're just catching up with this overnight, got his third All-Australian jumper, was voted best captain and most courageous player by his peers, the AFL-PA, vice captain of the All-Australian side, because that's voted by the All-Australian judges, but his peers in the AFL voted him as the best captain. And his speech... was profound. We know about the personal battles that Jordan Dawson's had this year, the family tragedy that he's had to confront, deal with and speak about publicly repeatedly. Well, he spoke a bit about his aspirations, maybe post-football, but most importantly with a message for people that themselves might be battling with mental health at the moment.
00:40:28
Speaker 5: Obviously, the.
00:40:31
Speaker 15: Mental health space is something that's pretty new and pretty raw to me at the moment, but it's definitely something that I want to learn a bit more about and I just want to wish anyone who's struggled with mental health out there or who is struggling with mental health to know that you are definitely loved and the world is a better place with you in it. And that you are enough and that we all love you and that you have beautiful family and friends around you. And like I said, it's a space that I really want to get into, but when the time's right, I'll answer that. But like I said, I just want to say you are enough and you are loved. Thank you.
00:41:10
Speaker 3: It was a remarkable speech. It was. The staging of it, too, the context is important. He'd done the footy part of the chat about the year, and they'd touched briefly on it. It's obviously been a difficult year for you. And they did that sort of perfunctory sort of footy style dealing with it. Everyone applauded. And then he went, you could see him gesture to Jonathan Brown, who was doing the interview, and said, actually, there's something more I want to say. And he just, he came out with that. What a, you just can't imagine that. You can see he tears up whenever he gets close to this, but you can see he's moving into this advocacy space now because he feels he can make a difference.
00:41:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when he's ready as well, which I really liked that he made that point. And I also really appreciated Max Gorn who was– what was it? He was voted captain of the All-Australian squad.
00:41:56
Speaker 3: He's the captain of the Australian team.
00:41:57
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:41:57
Speaker 4: Oh, do you have– Yeah, I do.
00:41:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you made a great point the first hour– Max Gorn's speech is worthy of playing a bit of too. So have a listen to Max Gorn. So he caught up after this, accepting the honour of being the captain of the Australian side.
00:42:08
Speaker 5: I think we saw some leadership tonight. I think for Jordan to get up and did what he did, to speak about mental health, to lead his side through the tragedy that happened in his family, and then to show vulnerability in front of a group of strangers that he hasn't got it right, he hasn't got it perfect, he's battling right now and asking for help.
00:42:26
Speaker 9: That's a captain that.
00:42:27
Speaker 5: I want to be behind.
00:42:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, well said, Max Gorn.
00:42:30
Speaker 4: You know what I love about that as well, and I don't want this to take away from either of those messages that the two men made last night because they're incredibly strong and poignant and I'm glad we're pointing them out. Neither of them did the footy thing of sounding a bit. football player-esque and putting on the credit to the boys and we just support the team and one game after another and it's four quarters, we've got to play full four. They were okay with sounding intellectual and thoughtful in their statements.
00:43:03
Speaker 3: Vulnerable even.
00:43:04
Speaker 4: Vulnerable and didn't have to fall into the trap of, I'm a footy player, I've got to say footy things.
00:43:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to be tough and a bit dumb.
00:43:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:43:10
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's generationally, if that's changing. I think so. The younger guys seem much more comfortable talking about these kind of things than even my age group. It's just not a thing that anyone does with any degree of comfort whatsoever. But they're just saying, you know, there are faults. Every generation has their faults. But one of the strengths that I think this group of footballers that are the younger type, they are more, they're less, they're more comfortable just being smart and more comfortable being emotional and talking about these sorts of things. So I think that's a totally worthy and relevant observation. Let's spin the wheel, shall we, and get somebody a Care Alert smart watch. This is a remarkable product. You can use your home care package or NDIS funding and get a Care Alert for free. Australia's number one personal alert system. Visit carealert.com.au.
00:43:54
Speaker 4: Number four.
00:43:55
Speaker 3: The number is number four. I don't recall us having a number that low before. I don't think we have. This is going to be quite the task this morning. We need someone born in 1929. Oh, wow. So sort of a Great Depression baby. Yeah. which is probably not how you want to be known, but 1929, so 97 or turning 97. I tell you what, put it this way. If you've got a 97-year-old in your family, call us on 8223 0000 because I think getting a Kerala smartwatch in the hands of someone who's 97 is totally appropriate, whether they can call in themselves and claim it or not. So if you've got a 97-year-old in your family, give us a buzz, 8223 0000. I didn't know this. 1929, Vatican City became a sovereign state. So up until that point, it wasn't as it is today. It wasn't standalone. So it was a sovereign state under the Lateran Treaty, 1929, when that happened, and indeed where our Carolette Smartwatch listener was born. 8223 0000 calling now to claim it. Let's talk Dolly. John in Colonel Light Gardens is on the line. John, good morning to you.
00:45:01
Speaker 14: Yeah, look, I saw a documentary on Dolly Parton, and she's obviously absolutely an amazing person. And when she... She wrote that song, I Will Always Love You, which is just iconic, one of the greatest of all time. She wrote that overnight. She parted with her business partner. He was really upset, so she wrote that song for him and sung it to him the next day. So that was just sheer genius. And the second thing is that her character just radiated positivity, fun, energy, and clarity of thinking in a world which is now just too often super critical and negative. So it's just a positive inspirational force, I think.
00:45:45
Speaker 3: Great call, mate. Thank you. Let's go to Jill.
00:45:47
Speaker 5: Morning, Jill.
00:45:48
Speaker 9: Hey, how you going, guys?
00:45:50
Speaker 3: We're well, Jill.
00:45:51
Speaker 9: Yeah, I share that gentleman's view on Dolly. She, you know, in such a horrible, heavy world, you know, she always spoke positively and In particular, encouraged women. Most people know 9 to 5, the movie and the song. And I guess that's sort of where my Dolly journey began. But I think the thing that amazes me is that she's endured over so many decades and using 9 to 5 as an example. She, earlier, I think it was this year, released 5 to 9. So it's an updated version of the song, and it's talking about, you know, how people are the entrepreneurs and, you know, can do your own business these days. You don't need to be working for someone. It's a brilliant song. And, yeah, she just... Even in a lyric, she encouraged people and it's just wonderful.
00:47:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, Julie.
00:47:01
Speaker 9: I don't think there'll be anyone like that.
00:47:03
Speaker 3: Unbridled positivity is something that the world is sorely lacking at the moment. Everyone needs an edge or a message or just having nice people who have positive things to say and contribute is wonderful. an increasingly rare value, it would seem to be.
00:47:18
Speaker 4: Also a message about how she moved with the times. Started with 9.
00:47:21
Speaker 3: To 5 and recently.
00:47:22
Speaker 4: 5 to 9.
00:47:23
Speaker 2: I love that.
00:47:23
Speaker 3: Start your own business.
00:47:24
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to look that song up.
00:47:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, good one, Jill. Thank you. We might take one more. Frank in Birkenhead. Good morning.
00:47:29
Speaker 16: Good morning, dear Will and Stacey. Yes, the world has... Today is a sad day for the world of losing a great actress as well as a singer. Yes, the lady previously... Previous ladies stole my thunder. My favourite movie was 9 to 5.
00:47:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, good on you, Frank. Thank you. Happy to take calls on Dolly right throughout the morning, folks. 8223 0000 or text us on 0248 08 13 95. We'll check traffic and come back with a Care Alert winner on the other side of this break.
00:48:04
Speaker 1: Knockdown Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
00:48:13
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
00:48:18
Speaker 3: 24 after 7, we spun the wheel. It came up number 4. That corresponded with 1929. A 97-year-old needed for the Care Alert Smart. Watch Care Alert, a family business right here, of course, in South Australia. We love the Steeles. We love their ingenuity and their personal alert systems are second to none. Call them today to find out if you qualify for a free system through government funding or visit carealert.com.au. And Leo and Ross Trevor has called in because, Leo, your dad was born in 1929. Morning, Leo. Good morning, guys.
00:48:48
Speaker 16: How are you?
00:48:50
Speaker 3: Was your dad born in Australia, Leo?
00:48:51
Speaker 14: No, he was born in Italy.
00:48:54
Speaker 3: What brought him to Australia?
00:48:55
Speaker 7: I suppose..
00:49:00
Speaker 14: Work and a better life.
00:49:02
Speaker 4: Opportunity, yeah.
00:49:04
Speaker 14: Better opportunities, yeah.
00:49:06
Speaker 4: Did he come straight to Adelaide, Leo?
00:49:08
Speaker 20: Yes, he did, yeah.
00:49:10
Speaker 7: Back in 1968.
00:49:12
Speaker 3: Did he travel back and forth to Italy when he was younger, Leo?
00:49:17
Speaker 7: Yes, he went back about four times.
00:49:19
Speaker 16: Yeah, okay.
00:49:20
Speaker 7: Okay.
00:49:21
Speaker 21: Yeah, and yeah, it's been a long time since he's travelled again, but he's doing.
00:49:27
Speaker 3: Quite well, actually.
00:49:30
Speaker 21: He's pretty alert. Upstairs is all there, and yeah, he's still doing quite well.
00:49:37
Speaker 4: And I imagine a Kerala smartwatch would ease your mind a bit.
00:49:42
Speaker 21: Oh, yes, for sure. Yeah, I think everyone should have one of them when they get to a certain age, I reckon.
00:49:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
00:49:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a remarkable generation, your father's generation, the silent generation, that sort of pre-Second World War group of people. They grew up in a really difficult time and made wonderful contributions around the world. And, Leo, we're delighted. that the Kerala Smartwatch is coming to your family and coming to your father, 97 years old, just remarkable. All right, let's talk about the remarkable weather. We spoke about some of the 150-year-old rain records for August that have tumbled in the last couple of days. Most dramatically, the sum of that has been the Onkaparinga River breaching its banks. Moira Ware is the mayor of the Onkaparinga Council. Mayor, good morning to you.
00:50:25
Speaker 20: Good morning.
00:50:26
Speaker 3: So what's the state of play this morning?
00:50:29
Speaker 22: Well, fortunately, things have calmed down a bit overnight, which is really lovely, and some of the things we were worried about with the river mouth and the tide getting up, that sort of didn't come to anything, which is excellent. So things seem to be recovering quite well. I know that there's still a few people a bit anxious in Old Norlunga and Clarendon, but the SES have been fantastic as always, and there's been a bit of sandbagging Some of the roads that were closed, McCaffrey Street at McLaren Vale and a couple of other little spots where the roads are pretty low and there's creeks flowing through, they've all seemed to have settled down as well overnight. So, yeah, all in all, wonderful that we've had all the rain and it's really quite nice that it's coming to an end.
00:51:16
Speaker 3: Well, that is some good news. Mayor, thank you. I'm more aware the Mayor of the Onkaparinga Council, Jacob McNeill, is the SES State Duty Officer. Jake, are you guys still working through a backlog of jobs out there, or is it tidied up from your end as well?
00:51:30
Speaker 7: Good morning.
00:51:31
Speaker 14: Yeah, thanks.
00:51:32
Speaker 13: Things have mostly settled down for us this morning, thankfully, off the back end of about 170, 180 jobs overall in the last 24 hours.
00:51:42
Speaker 3: Is that up there?
00:51:44
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's fairly steady numbers for us. It's certainly not the busiest... period we've ever had. But this time around being more sort of flooding jobs rather than our usual trees down and leaky roofs is certainly a bit of a change for us.
00:52:02
Speaker 4: And we've just been looking at the vision on our Facebook and YouTube live stream of the Onkaparinga breaching its banks. It was right up there getting really close to homes and properties. Was that the majority of call-outs to individual homes or businesses? Were they affected as well?
00:52:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. Most of our call-outs were sort of flooding-related for homes and businesses and a lot of preparatory work rather than response work. So our crews were, yeah, they were kept pretty busy.
00:52:33
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:52:34
Speaker 4: There was a hospital as well, the Millicent and District Hospital that was impacted by flooding.
00:52:41
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. That wasn't from the rain, fortunately. That was from a burst water pipe within the hostel itself.
00:52:47
Speaker 5: Gee.
00:52:48
Speaker 3: How's the time?
00:52:49
Speaker 13: Yeah, certainly quite timely.
00:52:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:52:53
Speaker 3: All right. Well, you guys came up with the great work. Remarkable. All volunteers, we reiterate every time we chat with you, and we wouldn't get through these kind of weather events without the excellent SES, Jacob. So thank you, mate. Not a problem. We're here. Yeah, good man. It's been quite a period for you. Jacob McNeil, the State Duty Officer at the SES. 29 after 7, big next half hour on the program. Sean Fuster will join us. We'll go around the courts. And David Koch. with his first comments post-Zach Butters announcing his intention to leave Port Adelaide. You'll hear those next. 20 minutes to eight. David Koch coming up shortly. We'll talk to him about Zach Butters and indeed inflation data, our CPI data out today. That will be a big data point in terms of informing what the RBA does. Last time it came in under what was expected, which led to that August pause. What happens next month when the RBA meets? Well, a lot of that. We're going to learn a lot about that a little bit later this morning. So we'll get Koshi's thoughts on that. But first, it's time for Sean Fuster.
00:54:10
Speaker 2: It's time to go around the courts with Sean Fuster on 5AA Breakfast.
00:54:20
Speaker 4: Chief Court Reporter at the Advertiser. Good morning, Sean. How are you?
00:54:24
Speaker 20: Stacey, good morning. I'm well, although I'm a little concerned about the way 2026 is going. Not only is it giving us horrible things like the loss of Dolly Parton, but it seems like every case I've ever covered is coming back. I'm Feeling a little Jacob Marley at the moment. The chains in life that bind me are coming back around again.
00:54:42
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I was going to say, how many times have we discussed Wendy Sue Dent on the program? It's been a few now.
00:54:48
Speaker 20: Oh, look, this has been a feature of the show, I think, for the entire decade plus that I've been on it because this case has been going for that long. It's definitely been a feature of Just Lawful. And I would love to stop reporting about Wendy Sue Dent. David Lawrence's family would love to stop thinking about Wendy Sue Dent. But when she keeps pulling off the seemingly impossible in her criminality like this, we've got to point the finger and talk about it because otherwise she's just going to keep getting.
00:55:17
Speaker 7: Away with it.
00:55:18
Speaker 3: All right, so for our newer listeners, give them some context, Sean, and then let's get into this most recent escapade.
00:55:23
Speaker 20: Yeah, the simplest explanation is that Wendy Sue Dent told the world that she was David Lawrence's fiancé and she used that as a cudgel to claim that she was entitled to his $ 300, 000 estate. that his family had been disinherited by notes that David had written on the back of all of his possessions, giving everything to his beloved Wendy. The thing was, she'd actually poisoned him using her own medication. She had murdered him in order to make sure that she could claim that money as part of a lifelong history of fraud that saw her claiming to be everything from roadies to major rock stars, through coronial assistants, through to makeup company international superstars. She's completely off the planet, and yet somehow she managed to achieve this for a while. She went to trial twice. COVID got involved. Appeals got involved. Things got very complicated.
00:56:16
Speaker 7: Mr.
00:56:17
Speaker 20: Lawrence's very tight-knit family was dragged through the mud for years. Flash forward now to December of 2024, when Dent finally ran out of appeals, ran out of time, ran out of ability to sue the Lawrences to try to take possession of Mr. Lawrence's body. This is the level to which she went. She was cut off from everything in December of 2024. Now we find out that a year later, in December of 2025, Dent has somehow facilitated the sale of Mr. Lawrence's motorhome for around $ 100, 000 from her jail cell, despite being in prison, despite having no legal right to use it, and having all that money transferred to her so she can draw on it to fund her life in jail.
00:57:04
Speaker 4: So many questions come to mind, Sean. Firstly, though, how? I mean, is she sitting there on Facebook Marketplace in a prison?
00:57:12
Speaker 9: How?
00:57:13
Speaker 20: These are the questions that we put to the Attorney General, to the Premier, and to the Department.
00:57:19
Speaker 13: For Correctional Services.
00:57:20
Speaker 20: They've assured us that prisoners do not have access to Facebook Marketplace. They do not have access to the internet to sell things. investigations are underway at the moment. So this is a live question, something that the authorities do not have an answer to at the moment. The other thing she's gotten around is the fact that those prison bank accounts are only supposed to have $ 300 in them as a maximum. So the question is, does that mean that every time $ 300 come out, another $ 300 goes in? Someone funneling the money here? Has she done this on her own? Is there an associate somewhere or associates plural that are assisting? This is all live questions right now.
00:57:59
Speaker 3: I confess I didn't even know you got a jailhouse bank account. So you get $ 300.
00:58:03
Speaker 4: The only thing I know from movies is that's what you go and buy your pack of smokes.
00:58:08
Speaker 3: And your toothbrush.
00:58:11
Speaker 4: Is that how it works?
00:58:12
Speaker 3: Is there a jailhouse canteen? Where are you spending your money at?
00:58:15
Speaker 20: Yeah, there's a jailhouse canteen. You can also earn money if you're privileged enough to work in a prison. It can go in there. But if family and friends want to send you money, it goes in there. The reason it's got the $ 300 limit on it is to stop anybody from extorting anybody else in prison. The literal jailhouse version of stealing someone else's lunch money. They want to make sure that doesn't happen. If you think when we talked about Kevin Matthews a little while ago and the Cadell Courier-led newsletter that goes around, there's a canteen you can hire in Nintendo's. you can hire a PlayStation, things like that. So that's what you use that money for.
00:58:48
Speaker 10: Right.
00:58:49
Speaker 3: So I guess the intrigue now, as you say, Sean, about this is goes to, is there a circle of people involved that's wider than just Wendy Soudan?
00:58:58
Speaker 20: That's right. And also, as a result of that, what's happened to David's other missing possessions? Because Dr. Bill Lawrence, David's brother, has talked to us about the fact that his Suzuki four-wheel drive is missing. His Mercedes-Benz is missing, his television is missing, his bicycles, which are worth about $ 10, 000.
00:59:17
Speaker 14: Together, are gone.
00:59:18
Speaker 20: Everything that wasn't nailed down is missing because, of course, the Lawrence family hasn't had access to all of these assets for the past 11 years due to the lawsuits.
00:59:29
Speaker 4: That poor family. It's just..
00:59:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, an unending torture, isn't it?
00:59:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, one thing after another after another.
00:59:36
Speaker 20: And as I said, it feels like all the cases that I've covered in my years have come back this year. You've had Lasakas. You've had the 2014 Southeast Freeway crash. You've had Wendy Sue Dent. You've had Raina Jane Cruz. 2026 is a rerun year, and I'm not particularly enjoying it, and nor are the victims and survivors of those matters.
00:59:54
Speaker 3: No, yeah, it's worth keeping in mind that these people have to go through it all again every time it gets dredged up. Exactly. Where are you guys at with Just Lawful, Tom and Sean?
01:00:03
Speaker 20: We are actually talking about the... We're coming to... Well, sorry, I apologise. I'm thinking about where we're recording versus where we're up.
01:00:11
Speaker 9: To live on air.
01:00:11
Speaker 3: Don't give spoilers.
01:00:13
Speaker 7: No spoilers, no spoilers.
01:00:14
Speaker 20: We are dealing with the Zai family, the brazen daylight honour stabbing in Sefton Plaza a few years ago, and the fact that this once unified family that were allegedly so strong on making sure their daughter didn't marry a Christian man start breaking down the minute they get in court. Their family bonds in terms of who's going to get bail, who's not, and who they're going to throw under the bus to save themselves.
01:00:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, just an awful, awful story.
01:00:38
Speaker 4: Shocking.
01:00:39
Speaker 3: Sean, thank you. No one explains it better. Appreciate your time. Thanks, guys. Sean Fuster, Chief Court Reporter at The Advertiser. We're going to check traffic. We'll come back with some more of your textile, a lot of lovely Dolly Parton tributes coming through and some other people too that have made really powerful statements about Jordan Dawson's speech last night at the All Australian. So a whole bunch of really, really valuable contributions from listeners this morning that we'll get to and David Koch in just a moment.
01:01:03
Speaker 1: Knockdown, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:01:11
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:01:16
Speaker 3: Nine to eight. Let's read some text before we get to David Koch. There's some terrific text coming through on 04808 1395.
01:01:22
Speaker 4: Yes, lots of people still talking about Dolly Parton and we love your texts and calls on her throughout the morning. Steve says, Dolly Parton's music is so timeless. My daughter is singing one of her songs for her year 12 music assessment. And she really is one of those people that's transcended generations as well.
01:01:39
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
01:01:41
Speaker 4: And Mick in Townsville, he says, Question, today throughout the world, Dolly will be the name on everyone's lips and in everyone's heads and the song on repeat all day in people's heads.
01:01:51
Speaker 11: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
01:01:54
Speaker 4: I'm not doing the rest.
01:01:55
Speaker 3: No, that was good though. Thank you.
01:01:58
Speaker 4: And a couple of people messaging about Jordan Dawson and his speech last night at the All Australian. This person says they'd like to remain anonymous, but I just want to say a big thank you to Jordan Dawson for making me get some help today.
01:02:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's why he did it. I don't think he gets up there in that stage. There's nothing about Jordan Dawson as a person who screams, I want this moment to be about me. I want to be the star. It's just not his personality at all. The only reason he's going back and revisiting the most painful thing that's ever happened in his life is because he would love to imagine people like that anonymous listener are going to get some help as a result. That's what it's all about.
01:02:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:02:37
Speaker 3: And it's why the whole thing was so powerful. It's impossibly difficult to imagine how hard that is for him to do, but he did it for that listener and he did it for other listeners that we've had texts from and people that have said, that made me think of someone in my family or some such. And, yeah, it was a remarkable moment last night.
01:02:56
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:02:57
Speaker 3: And a nice moment for the football community as well that needed it, needed the good guys to stand up. And they did. Jordan Dawson, Max Gorn last night. It was a, yeah, it was quite a powerful series of speeches.
01:03:14
Speaker 2: David Koch on 5AA Breakfast.
01:03:18
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide Football Club chairman, compare the market economic director. Lots to talk about this morning. Kochie, good morning to you.
01:03:25
Speaker 7: Good morning, team. Stacey, singing really isn't your lane, I don't think.
01:03:31
Speaker 3: Thanks, Koshy.
01:03:32
Speaker 4: When Koshy says that to you, you listen.
01:03:38
Speaker 7: I think you're as bad as I am.
01:03:39
Speaker 3: Well, none of us compared to Dolly Parton, obviously, Koshy.
01:03:43
Speaker 7: No, no, exactly right.
01:03:44
Speaker 3: There's only one.
01:03:45
Speaker 7: Hard Act Apollo.
01:03:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. The Zach Butters news, obviously not a real surprise. Sorry to lose him. Great footballer. Obviously he was on it as well last night with an All-Australian jumper. But now the business for Port Adelaide goes to getting value because you can build a football club around the returns you get on great footballers when you leave. You don't want them to leave, but you get the right value for them and it can actually turn into a long-term positive. What's your message to any club that wants to sit down and deal with Port Adelaide over Zach Butters?
01:04:16
Speaker 7: Oh, look, the message is pretty clear, that we want the very best outcome for Zach and we want the very best outcome for Port Adelaide. And I think, look, every Port Adelaide supporter just cannot question the effort, the commitment, the values of Zach to the Port Adelaide Football Club. And Zach said it. in his statement when he left, announced he wants to move back to Victoria earlier this week, that he will always be a Port Adelaide player. He's got great respect for the club. His best mates play for him. He was in Connor Rosey's wedding party. He lived with Miss Georgiades. Zach not only wants the best for him, that he wants the best for his mates and the Port Adelaide Football Club. And that's the ideal for the two of us. And that's, you know, there's a long way to go till trade week, early October. But that's what we're all aiming for. And I think that would be a great outcome. And I think every Port Adelaide member and supporter would wish Zach the very best. So what's been... a lot of Zach's talk of football and players is that, you know, players are individuals. They have their own family circumstances. And, you know, Zach has his family circumstances where he feels he needs to be back into Victoria. And we respect that enormously.
01:05:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:05:59
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:06:00
Speaker 4: We wanted to ask if we can move on to the finance side of things, Koshi. Inflation data out today. Any indications about what we can expect? And will this play a big role in the next decision by the Reserve Bank?
01:06:12
Speaker 8: Oh, Stacey, always the psychological war games between the Reserve Bank and also the Australian consumer has been ongoing.
01:06:23
Speaker 20: Isn't it?
01:06:23
Speaker 7: You've got Michelle Bullock, the boss of the Reserve Bank, saying, keeping an eye on the whole barf. We'll be looking at the economic data going forward, and we're quite willing to put interest rates up again. If the economic data is inflation and unemployment, they're the two most important figures for the Reserve Bank, starts to go the wrong way. A couple of weeks ago, we had unemployment figures out showing a weakening in the jobs market. Reserve, not much, still pretty strong, the labour market, tracking sort of pretty closely to Reserve Bank forecast. But the other key economic data is the inflation figure. Now, monthly figures, traditionally we say, oh, gee, they're all over the place. You don't put much store in them. You've got to wait for the quarterlies. But about 18 months ago, the Bureau of Stats changed how they measure the inflation. So they're a lot more reliable now. So yes, those figures today are really important. And remember, always a reserve bank looks at the underlying inflation rate, what the economic jargon calls a trimmed mean, which means it takes out a lot of the volatile movements for the month. That's the one they're looking to improve. And if it improves, well... and trim mean inflation comes down, underlying inflation, then the Reserve Bank will most likely sit on their hands again in terms of interest rates.
01:08:02
Speaker 3: Well, we'll learn a little bit more about that picture a little bit later today. Koshi, appreciate your time.
01:08:07
Speaker 7: Thanks, Koshi.
01:08:07
Speaker 4: I'll stop singing now.
01:08:09
Speaker 7: They will never throw some party. I'm just as bad.
01:08:17
Speaker 3: David Koch, the Port Adelaide Football Club chairman and compare the market economic director.
01:08:22
Speaker 16: This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:08:39
Speaker 3: Nine minutes after I break at eight, coming up in just a moment, we'll talk more about Jordan Dawson's remarkable speech at the All-Australian Awards last night shortly with Breakthrough Mental Health about the impact and the importance of public messages from figures like Jordan Dawson, who both doubles as someone who is a recognisable footballer, but someone who has lived through real tragedy in his life. as well, so speaks with not just authenticity, but experience. And we're going to get into all that very, very shortly on the program. Breaking it out, as I say, is coming up. More of your texts as well, because there's lots that have come through we haven't quite got to yet. Dolly Parton tributes as well, some callers that we will be calling back. But before all that, you have come across some interesting stories online, Stace, about door knocks people have been getting.
01:09:24
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:09:25
Speaker 4: I probably spend a bit too much time on Facebook. I'm happy to admit that. But in my travels, I have noticed a few people, at least three in the last couple of days, posting about ABS door knockers coming to their house.
01:09:40
Speaker 3: So, yes, they've been- Statistics people.
01:09:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, people from the ABS coming and banging on their door and knocking on their door and getting in touch with them to say, hi, you haven't completed the census.
01:09:50
Speaker 3: Oh, this is the tut-tut doorknob.
01:09:52
Speaker 14: Yeah.
01:09:53
Speaker 4: Is there a reason you haven't completed the census? What's going on? Now, I actually think it's quite unusual in 2026 to have anyone knock on your door, even the delivery people. Delivering packages don't knock anymore. So it's got a lot of people a bit- It.
01:10:10
Speaker 3: Is exceedingly rare these days that someone would just randomly knock on your door.
01:10:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. Because you always know who's coming. The drop-in has died with mobile phones. You don't just drop into anyone's house anymore. So you know who's going to be at your door. So when you get a random knock on the door, it is a bit of a shock. So a lot of people are a bit frustrated and annoyed by that. There's also been some complaints about the demeanour of the ABS staff knocking on doors.
01:10:35
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:10:36
Speaker 4: But I just thought it was really interesting that- Well, we don't.
01:10:39
Speaker 3: Do it for- I'm sorry to cut you off, Stacey. We don't do it if you don't fill out your ballot at election time.
01:10:46
Speaker 4: No, they don't knock on your door.
01:10:48
Speaker 3: You just get sent a letter. You get sent a letter.
01:10:49
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:10:50
Speaker 3: That's extraordinary.
01:10:52
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's more that they– do they have the census with them and they say, hi, we haven't received your census yet.
01:10:57
Speaker 3: Here's a paper one.
01:10:58
Speaker 4: Here's a paper copy if you weren't able to do it online. I don't know.
01:11:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe the feedback they've found is that a lot of the cohort that haven't filled it out aren't comfortable online. That would make more sense. Still, you'd imagine in this day and age, to your point, you get a letter first saying our staff are going to be coming around if you had some trouble filling out the census. We've got paper forms or some such. Has anyone– Had a knock on the door from someone at the ABS saying, where is your census?
01:11:25
Speaker 4: And did they threaten you with the fine? Because the fine was, from memory, quite a big one. Wasn't it a daily fine?
01:11:31
Speaker 3: That's right. You're right. It was a daily fine.
01:11:34
Speaker 4: A daily fine. A few hundred dollars a day, if I remember correctly.
01:11:37
Speaker 3: Let us know. If this has happened to you or someone you know, 8223 0000. I haven't met anyone that's happened to. No. That's interesting. If three people online are saying it. And they're all from Adelaide, presumably, as well.
01:11:48
Speaker 14: Yes.
01:11:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're all in Adelaide Facebook groups.
01:11:51
Speaker 11: All right.
01:11:51
Speaker 3: Or if you'd like to remain anonymous, 04808 1395. But we'd love to hear whether you've got a knock on the door from the ABS.
01:12:03
Speaker 4: Today's Breaking at Eight is MotoGP related. There is a parliamentary committee next week that has requested the South Australian Motorsport Board... give evidence and as you can imagine at this time of year we were expecting to have the MotoGP track already released so there was expected to be quite a few questions about the track asked of the Motorsport Board. Now before this hearing takes place next week we might still get the release of the track this weekend we don't know but in anticipation for the committee hearing the Motorsport Board has written to MPs involved in the committee to say we understand The committee wants us to provide an overview of the MotoGP event, particularly in relation to the event's impact on the parklands, including loss of trees and the impact on tourism. The letter then goes on to basically handball the issue. They say, there's been a change in the governance framework in the MotoGP project, and now the motorsport board is no longer responsible for the development of the circuit. They have handballed the matter to the Department of Infrastructure and Transport. So they've said that now falls with and is managed by the department. So if you ask us any questions about the track, we won't be able to answer it. That is now within the remit of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport. That's intriguing. When you go, I will just point out, to the website for the Department of Infrastructure and Transport and go to the project under the MotoGP, it says... The South Australian Motorsport Board is designing the redeveloped circuit and is managing the associated events. The department is responsible for the delivery of the circuit and associated infrastructure upgrades on behalf of the Motorsport Board. So I don't know if they're not talking to each other. Who's in charge? Who's got carriage of this right now? Are they just passing the buck?
01:13:59
Speaker 3: That's a real who's on first type situation.
01:14:00
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:14:01
Speaker 4: So no one wants to answer questions on it. No one's got responsibility of it apparently. What is going on?
01:14:08
Speaker 3: Well, I wonder if responsibilities, and we have to speculate because we're happy to take some clarification on this point, obviously, from the state government. I wonder if the responsibility has evolved as it's become increasingly political and maybe motorsport have said to the state government, well, this is clearly going to be an issue for you guys to sort out. Here are the parameters around how a track would have to work. This is how much clearance we need on the turn. The entry speed is X. So these are the permutations we work with. You make it work. You said street circuit, go sort it out.
01:14:45
Speaker 4: Well, but wouldn't that be, I think that would be the directive coming from MotoGP and then it would be up to the SA Motorsport Board to put it in place. Because there's so many bodies involved in this, right? There's the international MotoGP body. And they would say, you, as the South Australian government, have agreed to do street circuit. We need this. Now it's up to the government and the motorsport board to put it in place. And you would think at this late stage, when we're expecting a track to be released, they would have it whittled down to at least a few options or a couple of different changes in turns or whatever it might be. So they would at least be able to discuss the impact of it could possibly have if it was one of these two or three options we're considering.
01:15:30
Speaker 3: Am I imagining it? Did they not stand in front of a picture of the track when they announced this?
01:15:35
Speaker 11: Yes, exactly.
01:15:36
Speaker 3: This government hasn't got a great record in standing in front of the pictures of stuff, do they? So we have the track, we have the Mount Barker school development, which, you know, there was a big beautiful design of what that was going to look like. The original Women's and Children's Hospital design, there was a nice mock-up of what that was going to look like. The original... The original mock-ups of what major projects are going to look like bear no resemblance to what they ultimately end up being.
01:15:58
Speaker 4: I think, to be fair, in this case, the line has always been, the track will go down these roads, but we're just digging into the detail. We just need to finalise the detail of it. But the detail has been being finalised for quite a while now, and everybody is expecting a track to be released very soon because the government keeps saying they're going to do consultation on it, which I keep asking why. Why bother with consultation? The Premier says the event is going ahead. He wants it. He's paid for it. We won't know how much we've paid ever. But he wants it. It's coming. It's happening. So why consult?
01:16:30
Speaker 11: What's the point?
01:16:31
Speaker 4: If you're going to chop down the trees anyway, like he's doing in the North Adelaide golf course, why do this fake consultation process when you're not listening to 40,000 people who have signed a petition against it?
01:16:43
Speaker 3: That is intriguing. Oh, well, more to come on that story when they work out who's designing the track, obviously. 17 after 8, 8223 0000 is the number for the Royal Show tickets this morning. We have a family pass to give away thanks to the wonderful Drake Supermarkets, or of course you can buy your Royal Show tickets or at theshow.com.au if you prefer to buy them online through the Royal Show website. Donald Trump is at it again. He has threatened overnight to rename Lake Ontario. You might have lost track of this in all the Iran war and big news around the world, but The relationship between the United States and Canada is back to ice cold.
01:17:21
Speaker 4: Yeah.
01:17:22
Speaker 3: Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, has said, well, we will have reciprocal tariffs. Everything you put on Canadian industry, we're going to slap on US industry. That right now is really popular politically in Canada. He's surging as a result of that. And Donald Trump has said, well, fine, we're going to do this. We'll play this game. Well, Lake Ontario, I will rename Lake America. He did this with the Gulf of Mexico.
01:17:45
Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
01:17:47
Speaker 3: So taking inspiration from Donald Trump, just deciding to unilaterally rename things.
01:17:53
Speaker 4: Take ownership of things and rename them.
01:17:55
Speaker 3: As parochial South Australians for the Royal Show Pass, let's rename anything on planet Earth and give it a South Australian name.
01:18:02
Speaker 6: 8223 0000.
01:18:03
Speaker 3: Give something a South Australian name. flavoured name. And it could be anything. It might be something in Australia. It might be outside our territory. We are unbound by laws of naming convention here. We're doing this a la Donald Trump. So if there's something on planet Earth that you can give a South Australian name to and what's what we call it forthwith, do it right now and it might win you some Raw show tickets.
01:18:25
Speaker 4: Oh, I like that. So renaming, I'd rename the MCG.
01:18:28
Speaker 18: Yes.
01:18:29
Speaker 12: Yeah.
01:18:29
Speaker 4: I don't know. Power something.
01:18:31
Speaker 3: Power Park.
01:18:32
Speaker 4: Power Park.
01:18:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:18:35
Speaker 3: The traditional grand final at Power Park this year. Why not? 8223 0000. You'd be in the running to win the Royal Show tickets. With that renaming, we've got some thoughts coming through already. Yeah, we do.
01:18:46
Speaker 4: These are great.
01:18:46
Speaker 3: All right, let's check traffic and we'll come back with some entries next. 24 after 8, we've got a Royal Show Family Pass to give away. You can get your tickets at theshow.com.au or via the wonderful Drake's Supermarkets. As always, the Royal Show is now just around the corner. If you miss it, you'll be left with a serious case of showmo. We at the Family Pass were giving away to someone who renamed something around planet Earth, a la Donald Trump, who's threatening to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America.
01:19:26
Speaker 6: Yeah.
01:19:27
Speaker 3: With the latest stoush with the Canadians.
01:19:29
Speaker 4: If he can do that, we just decided, well, you can rename anything these days.
01:19:33
Speaker 3: We're going to name something as Parochial South Australians. So it could be something in Australia, it could be something in Adelaide, it could be something right around the world. Let's get to some thoughts here, starting with Sue in South Plimpton. What are you renaming, Sue?
01:19:45
Speaker 9: We've got West Australia, so I think New Zealand should be Eastern Australia.
01:19:49
Speaker 3: There's an idea. Thank you, Sue. Rita, good morning. Good morning.
01:19:52
Speaker 8: Good morning.
01:19:53
Speaker 9: We should name the Arc de Triomphe Arc de Thébatton.
01:19:57
Speaker 3: Arc de Thébatton. That's excellent. After South Australia's most popular suburb.
01:20:03
Speaker 4: Of course.
01:20:03
Speaker 3: Ben, good morning.
01:20:05
Speaker 21: Yes, the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Munna Parra Harbour Bridge.
01:20:13
Speaker 3: That's beautiful. I quite like that, Ben. That's brilliant. Cathy in Thébatton, good morning.
01:20:19
Speaker 8: Good morning, guys.
01:20:19
Speaker 19: Well, I thought the name Thébatton..
01:20:23
Speaker 17: We can rename it back to its original name, the Barton.
01:20:26
Speaker 3: Rename it to the Barton. Yeah, we can do that. They already do it interstate. Kay, good morning.
01:20:32
Speaker 7: Hi, how are you going?
01:20:33
Speaker 3: Good, Kay.
01:20:34
Speaker 17: I think we should name Adelaide Oval for the next round of finals.
01:20:41
Speaker 19: Crow Central.
01:20:42
Speaker 3: Well, I think it is Crow Central, Kay, whether it's officially called that or not for the next few weeks, at very least that year, Kay. David in Vale Park, good morning.
01:20:52
Speaker 12: I think we should give Donald Trump some of his own back and rename the USA United States of Australia.
01:21:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:21:01
Speaker 3: They don't have to change the acronym, so that works. Thank you, David.
01:21:05
Speaker 21: 8223.
01:21:06
Speaker 4: Confuse fewer Americans that way. We can keep the USA.
01:21:09
Speaker 3: Two can play at that game. 8223 0000 is the number. Lots of wonderful texts. Hilarious.
01:21:15
Speaker 4: Simon says Mount Rushmore would become Mount Frog Cake. I like that one. I think Rick says, I would change the name of every luxury ocean liner and cruise ship to the Popeye.
01:21:28
Speaker 3: That needs to happen. I think that's excellent. These become shorthand for cruise liner.
01:21:32
Speaker 4: These are great.
01:21:33
Speaker 3: There's a 4,000 strong Popeye that's just rolled into our harbour.
01:21:37
Speaker 4: And Rob, let's put it to the French and rename the Bordeaux area of France Barossa North.
01:21:44
Speaker 3: That's my favourite so far. What are you drinking? Is that a Bordeaux? No, that's a Barossa North. I love my Barossa North reds. 8223 0000. What else are we renaming? Don Farrell wouldn't like that in light of our, you know, we're trying to get this EU free trade deal over the line.
01:22:00
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a better negotiation tactic. Look, EU, if you don't want to sign a deal, we're just going to rename all your stuff.
01:22:06
Speaker 3: Fight fire with fire. We'll say to them, look, you can still call it, okay, we can't call it feta cheese, but you can't stop us calling it Barossa North. Chris, good morning.
01:22:16
Speaker 9: Hey, mate.
01:22:17
Speaker 7: How you going?
01:22:17
Speaker 3: Good, Chris.
01:22:20
Speaker 16: I'm going to rename Trump Tower the Tower of Power.
01:22:23
Speaker 3: Tower of Power. Tower of Power. Yeah, there you go.
01:22:27
Speaker 21: Love that.
01:22:27
Speaker 3: Koshy can move in there. Did we read out the one about the dollar?
01:22:31
Speaker 4: No, we didn't.
01:22:32
Speaker 3: I've lost it.
01:22:32
Speaker 4: There's so many texts coming in.
01:22:35
Speaker 3: It was effectively that the dollar bill in the United States would take Benjamin Franklin off and put David Kosh on it.
01:22:40
Speaker 4: And put Koshy's head on the note.
01:22:44
Speaker 3: Who do we like for the Royal Show Family Pass?
01:22:47
Speaker 4: I think the Munapara Harbour Bridge is a good one, Ben.
01:22:51
Speaker 3: I did like that. Ben, well done. Ben, you've got the Royal Show tickets coming your way, the Family Pass, theshow.com.au. For your tickets or indeed go into a Drake supermarket and buy them that way if you so desire. We're getting so many texts through. This one.
01:23:07
Speaker 4: New South Wales has been around for a while. Why not rename it to Not So New South Wales?
01:23:12
Speaker 3: Not So New South Wales. Or someone suggested Victoria becomes East and South Australia.
01:23:16
Speaker 4: Brilliant. They'd love that. They'd really enjoy that.
01:23:19
Speaker 3: I think that's great. This is the great thing. Donald Trump has established a precedent where it doesn't matter what they think. We just call it that. You travelling to eastern South Australia? Yeah, we've got an away game. 28 after eight. 5AA News is coming up. Back in a moment.
01:23:37
Speaker 1: Knockdown. Bill 2 with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes.
01:23:44
Speaker 4: They do it all for you.
01:23:45
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:23:49
Speaker 3: 21 to 9, if you haven't heard it yet, we're going to play some of Jordan Dawson's remarkable speech at the All-Australian Awards last night where he walked away with a raft of honours. All-Australian nod. He's the vice-captain of that team who's voted the best captain in the AFL by his peers, voted the most courageous, but I think he won most fans last night with his speech about mental health. And he spoke a little bit about the role it might play in his future and his life and had a message. The most powerful part of it was him with a message for people out there. And we're going to play it for you in a moment. So if you haven't heard it, stick around because it's going to start, I think, a really important conversation in just a moment. A series of conversations going on concurrently on the text line at the moment. We've got people with census stories, MotoGP thoughts, and this renaming of things as well. So I think we should do a sweep of those.
01:24:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a couple about the MotoGP. Noel says, In my humble opinion, DIT should be getting our roads up to drivable condition first before they start building a racetrack. Our vehicles have to be roadworthy, but our roads are not. Regards, Noel from Yorks. And he says, and I'm a motorsport enthusiast, but no to MotoGP in the streets.
01:24:59
Speaker 3: Well, how's the pothole situation in Adelaide at the moment? There's one near us that keeps getting dug up. It has to be an NBN spot or something, and it's right in the middle of the road. And the problem with it is... It's not consistently a pothole or a filled pothole enough for you to ever drive safely. So you end up, especially first thing in the morning, I don't know what kind of damage is being done to the car, but there are so many stories like that in the suburbs around Adelaide at the moment.
01:25:25
Speaker 5: Yep.
01:25:25
Speaker 4: But you can guarantee that part of the city, once the track is done.
01:25:28
Speaker 6: Schmick.
01:25:29
Speaker 4: It'll have to be.
01:25:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be.
01:25:32
Speaker 4: And we also got this little tip from Martin in Adelaide. Thank you, Martin. He said, last night, around 10.30pm, there was a team of contractors who, Measuring the width of the roadway adjacent to the Britannia roundabout. Part of Wakefield Road was closed while they did it. If I was a tree on Wakefield Road, I would be extremely nervous. Watch this space.
01:25:53
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good intel.
01:25:54
Speaker 4: Are there any trees in Adelaide that aren't nervous right now?
01:25:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, all trees. All trees. It's a tough time to be a tree in Adelaide. All right, 19 to 9. Last night, Jordan Dawson at the All Australian Festival made a remarkable speech. And just to set the scene for you, he was being interviewed by Jonathan Brown about the Crows season, the honour of being named vice-captain of the Australian side yet again. They touched briefly on the difficulty he'd had personally and how he'd had to deal with that and then play football at a an elite level throughout the year. The kind of typical football interview fair that touched gently on a very difficult subject, but largely I think Jonathan Brown was being respectful of Jordan Dawson and he didn't want to dig too deep on something that the occasion wasn't about. Well, Jordan Dawson made the occasion about that because after everyone applauded him, he didn't walk off the stage. He gestured at Jonathan Brown and said, he indicated, I want to say something. And here's what he said.
01:26:49
Speaker 15: Obviously, uh, The mental health space is something that's pretty new and pretty raw to me at the moment, but it's definitely something that I want to learn a bit more about. I just want to wish anyone who's struggled with mental health out there or who is struggling with mental health to know that you are definitely loved and the world is a better place when you're in it. and that you are enough and that we all love you and that you have beautiful family.
01:27:17
Speaker 3: And friends around you.
01:27:18
Speaker 15: And like I said, it's a space that I really want to get into, but when the time's right, I'll answer that. But like I said, I just want to say you are enough and you are loved.
01:27:28
Speaker 5: Thank you.
01:27:32
Speaker 3: And if anyone at all is cynical or doubts the impact of something like that, I can tell you we've had a number of texts this morning and from people who want to remain anonymous, but just, and Adam, For every one text we get, there's probably another 15 people out there that are either thinking or experiencing the same thing that went, wow, he was talking to me when he said that, and I'm going to do something about it today. John Mannion is the CEO of the Breakthrough Mental Health Foundation. John, good morning. As someone whose real life is working in this area, what did you take from what Jordan Dawson said last night?
01:28:02
Speaker 21: Yeah, good morning, guys. Yeah, the speech he said last night was pure vulnerability and honest and incredibly authentic. You know, it comes from a place of grief and loss for their family. And we must respect that they are still going through that sort of process. But I think there were those powerful words around that you are loved. The world is a better place with you in it. You are enough for a person who may feel lonely, isolated, disconnected, and no one would notice if I wasn't here. And then somebody says that to me. I know full well that there will be people today that will have picked the phone up, reached out to their friend, put their hand up and said, I need to do something about it.
01:28:40
Speaker 5: It.
01:28:40
Speaker 21: So it's incredibly powerful.
01:28:42
Speaker 4: And John, that, as you say, is incredibly powerful. Like our listeners who have said, thank you for that, Jordan Dawson, I'm going to seek help today. Also on the other side of things, it made me think, who in my life might benefit from me reaching out to them? today who who do i know that's been struggling that might benefit from just a little touch base call this afternoon do you think it'll start those conversations as well oh.
01:29:08
Speaker 21: Yeah definitely there'll be those friends that we have maybe lost contact with a little bit a little bit of friends that we've seen a bit of a change that we know they're struggling there are things happening in their life a little bit of friend that's sort of disconnected from everybody that um isn't at the workplace at the same time or is feeling, you can see that there's change in their frustration, the way in which they're talking, they're communicating, et cetera. So I think today's that perfect day to send that text message to say, I was just thinking about you today, just about you, because you never know how powerful that actually might be.
01:29:38
Speaker 3: It felt like the choice of words was really deliberate by Jordan Dawson about you're loved, you're valued, the world's better for having you in it. Is that the kind of language that is... you guys preach to say to people that you might have concerns about?
01:29:54
Speaker 21: I'm not saying necessarily about it, but it's the language you preach. But we preach how do you normalize the mental health conversation? How do we have it in everyday parts of our life? And how do we actually build up the part where we're saying that to actually talk about our mental health is not a sign of weakness. It's actually a sign of strength to be able to talk about it and to be honest. I think the words that Jordan used are incredibly powerful because they're incredibly personal. And this is a phrase we often hear, especially if we're doing work in that postvention area where people often ask the questions, why has this happened? And I always flick the switch to say, you know, how horrible it must be for somebody to be in such a level of trauma that to not be here is their only way out. So the ability to get people to realize that they are loved, they are valuable, they have a great life, part to taking people's lives at a period of time when I don't feel like that can be incredibly powerful. But then making an opportunity for someone just to be heard, just to be listened, to be seen, to be validated. I think just sitting there and listening to that can be very powerful for people. And also realizing ourselves, we don't actually have to fix it. You know, our ability just to sit and to listen and to help guide somebody can be incredibly powerful.
01:31:03
Speaker 4: Do you have any advice for anyone listening today who either, um, maybe has thought about reaching out for help or, as we spoke about earlier, has someone in their life that they think, oh, they might need a little bit more help from me? What would be your top tips today for them to try and do that?
01:31:22
Speaker 21: Top tip today, if it is you that's experiencing this and feeling it yourselves, please reach out. Please reach out to any of our mental health services. People will be there to listen to you. You are not a burden. You are unique, you are beautiful, and people will be there to help you through that process. If you are watching a family friend, don't be scared about having a mental health conversation. It is just a conversation. And the reason you're reaching out is because you care, you're compassionate, you want to be able to help and to listen. And we know full well that most people, when they're having a terrible day and we ask them how they're going, they'll say, I'm fine, thanks. But a lot of us have just went, are you really okay? Because I've noticed something different.
01:32:02
Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
01:32:03
Speaker 21: The phrase I've noticed meant you were seen and that in itself is an incredibly validating concept.
01:32:09
Speaker 3: And I suppose more broadly too, I think there was that wonderful mental health advertising campaign. I think it was Norwich city football club did in the UK that underscored the point that sometimes it's not, it's not obvious as well that there are people that you might think, Oh, I'll reach out to the person to help, but normalizing the conversation, as you said, right at the start of this chat, John actually makes, um, um, It means that there's other people that you might think are otherwise really happy. And the Norwich City piece, for people that haven't seen it, was two guys going to the footy. One was always happy. One was depressed. And the twist at the end of it was the guy who seemed really happy and was friendly with everyone was the one who wasn't there anymore. Because it's the kind of person you never would have thought to ask, are you okay to?
01:32:51
Speaker 6: Wow, yeah.
01:32:52
Speaker 3: And I guess that goes to normalising the conversation, John.
01:32:57
Speaker 21: Yeah, very much so. We've all got that friend that always looks like they've got everything together. We've got the friend that's always the joker, the one that deflects everything, the one that's always organized. But they're probably the friend that's, when they're on their own, they're sitting in the car and they're pondering everything. They're overanalyzing, they're overthinking, they're worried about their relationships, their finances, when the next paycheck's coming, what my future looks like. So never take it on that face value. If you see alterations or changes in people, start the conversation, reach out. I'd sooner my friend keep saying to me, will you stop asking me that than me not ask it at all.
01:33:34
Speaker 4: John, bit of a question without notice, but is today a good day for the AFL community to have a conversation about mental health round and I know these it's been fraught in the past and it feels like there's a there's a day for everything and there's a round for everything but there has been this push for some time now um for the AFL to have a round dedicated to mental health awareness do you think it's a conversation worth.
01:34:03
Speaker 21: Having um I mean I think it's a great conversation to have because it's It's probably the power that sport actually has over lots of areas of our lives. Sport provides us with a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging. So it's an incredible way to send a very positive message. You look at how Jordan used last night's platform to talk to thousands of people, which was incredibly powerful. In South Australia, we've actually had a community mental health round for about the last five years across Australia. our local footy codes across rural South Australia and also Metro Australia. Sorry, Metro Adelaide, I'm getting it right. There are lots of other organisations doing this across the state. So it doesn't always necessarily have to sit with the AFL to be the leader of it because I actually think the magic happens in the community. That's where the major conversations are. That's where your coaches, your connector, your sports club is the centre point of the club and it brings people together. So I think there are a myriad of different ways in which you can actually do this. I think from an AFL perspective, they have got a beautiful platform to send some really positive messaging. They do that already. They delivered the Ahead of the Game youth football programme in partnership with Movember and Breakthrough provide that here in South Australia. So they're already doing it at the grassroots level. Does it need to have a... big day to actually say it, surely 365 days are the big days to have it.
01:35:26
Speaker 3: Good on you, John. Thank you. We appreciate you talking to us this morning. The CEO of Breakthrough Hunter Health Foundation, John Mannion. The reason we're talking about it this morning is Jordan Dawson's powerful speech at the All Australian Awards last night. We're going to take a break. A lot of texts about a bingle at the Britannia roundabout this morning. That sounds like that's causing all sorts of issues as if the Britannia roundabout needed any help in causing issues, but there's been a crash at the roundabout, so You say avoid it. When you drive down to Greenhill Road, it's so unavoidable.
01:35:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
01:35:57
Speaker 3: But it's going to cause some holdups for a while is what we're being told by people at the scene. So you can call in and give us a more recent update. But in the last few minutes, we've got a bunch of texts saying traffic is in all sorts. Thank you for that, Nathan and others. Nine to nine. We're going to take a break and back in a sec.
01:36:13
Speaker 1: Knock down, build two with Metro Homes. Sell one and move on. Keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes, they do it all for you.
01:36:22
Speaker 2: Will Goodings with Stacey Lee. This is 5AA Breakfast.
01:36:27
Speaker 3: Five to nine, right throughout the morning, lovely recollections of and celebration of Dolly Parton's life on the program. People that have bought albums, people that have been inspired by music. A lot of talk earlier about people's favourite films. and so forth. We had a couple of callers now who've been and seen Dolly live in concert, like Gail, who saw her in 2011, Gail. So she was at the Entertainment Centre here in Adelaide, or were you on another leg of the Australian tour?
01:36:50
Speaker 23: No, I saw her here in Adelaide at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre with mum and dad and my sister. She was amazing, played all her hits, all her songs, and told stories about how she wrote the songs. My favourite is Code of Many Colours, and she actually wrote that while on tour with Porter Wagner. on the back of a dry cleaning receipt when she was in the bus.
01:37:10
Speaker 13: No way.
01:37:11
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
01:37:12
Speaker 23: And she wrote that on the back of the receipt as she was on tour with Porter Wagner and incredible. And the story of Code of Many Colors was a true story of when her mum made her Code of Many Colors when they were poor. And it's amazing, the song, and I just loved it. So I love the concert and Valet Dolly Parton. She is amazing and I'm sure will live on. and is just an amazing country star and a star to everyone and an inspiration.
01:37:39
Speaker 3: Well said, Gayle.
01:37:40
Speaker 23: Could be sadly missed.
01:37:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, well said. And we were wondering earlier, how do you write 3,000 songs in your lifetime? And that's how.
01:37:46
Speaker 4: That's how.
01:37:47
Speaker 3: The way Gayle describes it, it obviously just spilled out of her.
01:37:49
Speaker 4: The back of her receipt.
01:37:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just comes to her in moments. What a skill. Yeah, that's a genuine, that's a genius level talent. Ian in One Tree Hill, good morning.
01:37:59
Speaker 14: Good morning.
01:38:00
Speaker 18: My little story about Dolly Parton was 40 years ago. I was in the audiovisual business, and we were bumping in audiovisual stuff into the Hilton in the basement of the Hilton International. And there was a limo there, and I didn't think anything of it. And then we started putting our road cases in, and we're coming to a T-junction of the basement, and the security card's coming out. And literally, I bumped into Dolly Parton in about 86, 87.
01:38:27
Speaker 3: No way.
01:38:29
Speaker 18: No yes yes way and it's still it's still with me now after 40 years it's amazing so she was amazing she was renowned for two things and singing was one of them and the other one i'll let you guess.
01:38:42
Speaker 3: Did you have a conversation with her, Ian?
01:38:43
Speaker 16: Is this Albo on the phone?
01:38:45
Speaker 18: No, I just said sorry because I had my head down with the road cases coming in with all our gear and I looked up and there was Dolly Parton right in.
01:38:54
Speaker 14: Front of me.
01:38:54
Speaker 3: So you had to apologise for almost knocking her over, did you?
01:38:57
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:38:58
Speaker 18: But we saw the security guards and we saw the limo and we didn't think anything of it. And I just, you know, I've got my head down and I'm rolling these road cases along the thing and then next minute there's Dolly in front of me and I had to sort of... say sorry and dodge her and she was getting in her limo. I don't know if she was doing a concert at the time or whatever, but that was 40 years ago.
01:39:19
Speaker 11: Was she small, Ian?
01:39:20
Speaker 4: Could you have knocked her, almost knocked her over?
01:39:22
Speaker 18: She was small and big in other parts.
01:39:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we get it. She clearly made an impression, Ian.
01:39:29
Speaker 7: She made a very.
01:39:30
Speaker 18: Big impression for 40 years. I'm still, you know, I'm still shocked by it 40 years ago.
01:39:36
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Ian, well, luckily you'd missed her, Ian, because we might have been having having had the conversation about the passing of Dolly Parton 40 years earlier. Um, uh, that's, uh, quite the story. When you bump into people, you never know what your memory is going to be of that interaction. Let's check the fuel situation. It's better to be a member with RAA road service. Uh, the cheap spots, the Liberty at Seaford's at $ 1. 93. 5 and, uh, the Leroy's at Mono Para $ 1.
