Two of his bats will be debuting in the Ashes in Perth tomorrow. He's also done some work repairing Joe Roots bats in the past and he's come to South Australia to play. Looking forward to this. This is a great story about a young South Australian who's got a passion for making cricket bats. He's an OT as well occupational therapist, but bats is his passion and he's turning into a career. He's going to come on the program after six thirty today. What will the name of the new Boring Machines be? The boring Machines to dig out the tunnel on South Throw My fear is it won't be any of our listeners suggestions, which by a country mile were the best suggestions. We'll find out the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Emily Burke on before seven o'clock today after seven a response immediately to our rumor fhile story yesterday we got about a basketball team that was too good for the comp They got kicked out. It's in the paper this morning. We're gonna hear from the association after seven o'clock today, Matt Abraham to we love Thursday Mornings, Made Abram in the studio to dissect the spin of the week. David Pennburthy, good morning.
00:01:31
Speaker 3: To you, Good morning listeners, Good morning will Jack Knis makes bats and bats and bats. That should be a slogan inspired by the famous Bradman.
00:01:38
Speaker 2: Headline and bats and bats.
00:01:40
Speaker 3: If you did it in the same typeface, was it the Sun the Melbourne Son. I can't remember who came up with a famous headline, but Bradman bats and bats and bats when he made his three hundred plus knock. Are you someone who can remember cricket scores like you know, like if I said, what was no Ricky Ponting's high score? I was not amazing. I've got mates when I was twelve, maybe I would have remembered all that kind of stuff.
00:02:10
Speaker 2: It's a real thing.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: It's like guys can there's some guys they're like walking wisdoms and they can say what about Laxman and Drava when they made that opening stand of blank at the Adelaide Oval whatever?
00:02:23
Speaker 2: Any can do it, but you put in the test. Imagine if jay r rang Up I was just wondering if you'd be able to fix my bat So, Yes, yes, Joe, I can fix you mean leave it with me, here you go. He'll never play better.
00:02:40
Speaker 3: That's everything abused to be in order handle safely glued back onto the blade.
00:02:46
Speaker 2: So cop is cop cooked, feels like it's dead. Phil Curry's story in the find Reviewers that I certainly said yes to that the federal government were, how do we phrase this? Looking at ways to leverage a losing bid into something for the Pacific region. What's that mean they want? There's apparently there's a leader's summit that wouldn't be held in Adelaide by the way that they that the Albanezy team are trying to say, look all right, if we're all right, if we miss out we'll be we'll be magnanimous about it.
00:03:17
Speaker 3: But you know what I find stunning. I find it stunning given the amazing leadership shown by the mayors of Onkaperringer, Mitcham and Adelaide, with the utter gravitas and and star power that the three girls from Ipanema brought to that enterprise, how on earth has this not worked? I thought that was the whole reason that more Aware.
00:03:39
Speaker 2: And Dr.
00:03:42
Speaker 3: Dr Ross, Doctor Dr Ross and how the homes.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: That was why they were going there, wasn't it well? I thought about they had to go for it the only reason it can be. And I think the clue was in when we spoke with Doc with Heather Holmes Ross, when the message was received that you're doing such a good job there. I suspect what's happened here is the COP Summit has thought there's nothing to be gained. These guys are nailing it so well that we might as well go to somewhere that's more in need.
00:04:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, have you seen Rob's decks? You missed your calling Rob, He says, we missed out on COP. I wish I wasn't editor Cop that well, that's like hanging for it. Then he says, Turkish delights, that's a good one. Cop out, this is a good one. We've been given the thumb burg and so many trees going unhugged.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: I do love this whole business of well you, you and Turkey need to work it out, you know, you do, just sort it out between yourselves. We both want it. It reminds me that do you remember that sein Field episode, give it out?
00:04:52
Speaker 3: Give it our given our long history of sort of things out peacefully.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: That's been one hundred years. We're good, that's true. Forgive give me that side Field episode where Newman is sitting as judge and a Lane and Kramer are trying to work out who has ownership of a bike. Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And in the end, Newman's judgment is we'll cut the bike in half, and A Kramer says, look, I'd rather Alane get it than see the bike ruined. And then Newman comes back says at the end, well, only the bike's true owner would rather see it intact than come to harm. That's what this whole process feels like to me. Do you want the cop? Do you want the half cop? Which part of the little cop do you want? If you guys can't work it out. Germany gets it. Hey, it's going to be.
00:05:41
Speaker 3: Is there a danger now that it's going to be in a global sense? Pretty pathetic, but still large enough to annoy everyone in South Australia.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: No, I don't think. I don't think there'll be anything here. Oh really no, No, this comp the version that Anthony Albin easy as people have sounded out, would not being adelaide as I understand it. Where would it have been then somewhere in the Pacific Islands. Oh really, Yeah, he's trying to do it. He's doing solid for the region.
00:06:09
Speaker 3: So in addition to getting a rugby league team, that might get cop in Port Moresby quite possibly.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: That's right, Hey, we're.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: Going to do hospitality and safety might be an issue there, just saying that by way of massive understatement, we get hacked to death by one of the local rascals, you might want to stayed somewhere else.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: But maybe that's the kind of gentle encouragement to stay in line that you know, the good people of Antifa need. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, this is not your average police force. Here might be a form of justice you're not used to. Yeah, a bit more rough than usual handling. We've got a double pass to see Music of the Night DA of a Way tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber and the West End Musicals at Her Majesty's Theater Sunday, November thirty at two pm. You get tickets from ticket Tech. The AFL draft was on last night. We're to talk about the fallout from that with Tom Ren very very shortly, but got us wondering, what would you be the number one pick for?
00:07:01
Speaker 4: What?
00:07:01
Speaker 2: In what circumstance would you be the number one pick? Folks? Let us know it could be you going to Music of the Night eight double two three double O double o is the number or textus on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five? What would you be? What? For? What draft? Of What would you be the number one pick for? What's that? Because I do it all the time.
00:07:21
Speaker 3: Whenever there's numbers that have to be read about, like interest rates and stuff like that, I would say, what's what's this? What's going to happen?
00:07:27
Speaker 2: Now? You good? What the stuff that COSI does? The stuff that I don't understand. The dismal science will if you will hear that it is called the dismal dismal science. Some people say economics, it's not science at all. We know it's an argument, that's it's more of a social it's more of a social science. Vibes thing, animal spirit, animal spirit. Put you the number one pick for.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: I suppose you need someone to talk in terminal crap about Mexico. I'd come in Andy about I want to talk about, you know, the origins of Cinco de Mayo, or you know how's apart and.
00:08:09
Speaker 2: Via or essentially setting into different revolutions? What about the what about the cross examination of the travel habits of local government? That all right? Didn't seven? Eight alfter six? What would you be the number one pick for? Eight double two three double a double? Oh? Could be you going to Music of the Night, the Andrew Lloyd Webber Spectacular, David.
00:08:29
Speaker 1: Penberbe and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast twenty.
00:08:33
Speaker 2: One after six, Tom Ren with the draft fallout in just a few moments of time. We're asking you, though, in a draft of your entire creation, what would you be the number one pick for eight double two to three double oh double? I We've got the tickets to Andrew Lloyd Webber to give away Quintin in old Ronella, good morning. What would you be the number one draft pick for Quentin? Oh?
00:08:55
Speaker 5: Do you want to have a given? Obviously number one son supporter, But look, I'll just blow your own trumpet. I'll go cook in my house, stepfather, husband, all of you.
00:09:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, fair enough, fair enough? Are you shame and blowing your own trumpet? Because no one's going to blow it for you.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: They're all good things to be the number one draft pick for Let's go to clear view, Rob, When would you get picked first?
00:09:26
Speaker 6: Oh?
00:09:26
Speaker 7: Look I want to them for number one mate, But because of father's son pick swaps, I'm down to bloody twenty two.
00:09:35
Speaker 2: You're the first live selection they Rob?
00:09:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably, but yeah, it's just shameful.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was ridiculous, wasn't it last night? For a distorted thing? Reny will take us through that very short. It's some text coming through on the text line as well. Is it before zero eight thirty ninety five?
00:09:50
Speaker 3: Well, there might be some radio stations where people are sobbing into their child arte about the fact that Adelaide's not going to get.
00:09:56
Speaker 2: The cop five double A eight one of them looking at the text. It's almost party time.
00:10:02
Speaker 3: People seem extremely happy, although Philby and North Adelaide raises a cautionary note, says local mayors might be happy with this could mean they get to have to go overseas yet again and another COP because I have to go away.
00:10:17
Speaker 2: No COP here, that's right. We would have saved a fortune in local government costs if we'd had it here.
00:10:24
Speaker 3: Imagine if we found out that when COP was held in Adelaide the traffic was so bad that the mayors of Onkapringer and Richmond decided not to go.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: That would have been a great time, not.
00:10:33
Speaker 3: Going all the way in along Blair Road going to get caught in that damn traffic.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: I just waited to look in Brazil again. Do we get a refund though, on what on their trips? I mean, given that we haven't gone ah oh no, no, no, no no. That was a big part of it.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: When the Lord Mayor came on, she says, a private think tank. She was funded independently funded.
00:10:55
Speaker 2: The others were funded by the l g A.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: But the argument used by the Lord Mayor at the time was that was essential that they were there ahead of COP.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Well where's COP. I'm sure they got no here? No, no, no, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. The Lord Mayor also got inspired to close city streets. That's true being in Rio de Janeiro, so it wasn't a total that's true, fruitless endeavor. I did you've picked up.
00:11:19
Speaker 3: Any urban planning ideas from Rio? I've been to Rio. They sell stickers that you can put on the windscreen that say, please don't rob me. I've already been robbed.
00:11:29
Speaker 2: Today they do well, maybe we could get them. See ten point five degrees outside at the moment, it feels cooler than that. It feels like eight point nine. Are heading for a top Today of twenty one partly cloudy, no rain, But things change, Things change over the course of the next few days. Tomorrow twenty five, Saturday twenty five up to seven millimeters of rain, but twenty five Sunday thirty no rain, Monday thirty one essentially no rain. Then Tuesday drops down to twenty four drizzly, Wednesday twenty drizzly. So there's no sustained pattern of warmth in our near future, but at very least there's a little bit of warmth there, which is nice. There's a three, there is a three, there's two threes, Sunday and Monday eight double two three double O double Oh was our number. If you want to tell us the thing, you'd be the number one draft pick for I for you more ticks coming through. Someone by seven o'clock this morning is going to get the tickets to see the Andrew Lloyd Webber Spectacle. Double Music of the Night.
00:12:29
Speaker 3: Here we go, Guy and Highgate. This is a taste for what's coming through. Good morning, lads, Good riddance to cop our game. If someone else has lost, they can have it.
00:12:38
Speaker 2: Thank you.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: Guy Rick says the Cop has given in bow and an elbow a chance to deflect from our power price increases. Now his big drama with the States is over health.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: I don't know if it has. It doesn't have the opposite effect, does it. Every time it comes up, it reminds everyone of our power prices. I don't think it allows anyone to do flip from anything. In fact, it was worse in the Eastern States, at very least here in Adelaide. The idea was the Eastern stuff. The rest of the country is going to spend billions of dollars to host an event that will only benefit Adelaide economically, right and people are here in Adelaide don't like it. How popular do you think it is in Sydney and Melbourne? Well, I think this is one of the reasons Alboy looks like a hero for walking away from it, I think, and this is one of the reasons. The external cop in so much that I'm comparing a mitch and the reason is cop the whole, the whole vibe of it. It almost looks like gather around for people who have made an art form of living off the public purse. Do you think, yeah, But the argument for it is that all those countries public purses are suddenly going to be expended. In Adelaide, that was it.
00:13:46
Speaker 3: We'll take this, yeah money, that's right, that was it will take we will take your stinking money. You put it best when the story first break, saying, you know, let a thousand.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: Come here and talk about selling daffodils. You can. I don't care on the money.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: Checks, although I did, I did. I think I asked you on air at the time. Okay, at what point do you draw the line?
00:14:07
Speaker 2: You know?
00:14:08
Speaker 3: It was like the Paraguayan city side the list there the start of two thousand and one. Apparently that city is the loosest joint on Earth. They held an Al Kayeda conference. I would draw the line at terrorist organizations.
00:14:22
Speaker 2: Okay everyone, but I'd have thirty one next door to when international weapons conference or a coal mining conference. I don't care. Stevens loved that idea. They all book hotel rooms and buy meals. I couldn't give us stuff other.
00:14:34
Speaker 3: Than that Jon Kippul next to the Palestinian bookshop there on Ut Street.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: This is it a lot of time. This is were we can. We can do multiple teams at once. We're a three dimensional society. It's in the five double a breakfast studio with us be the first to test drive the all new Mitsuhias in Augustine and Mitsubushi nils Worth in Wilson Lakes. Morning, you're ready morning, boys.
00:14:54
Speaker 8: Afield draft last night, so we had twenty five selections. It's all a bit you spoke to only be eighteen. But because of the father sons, the academies, the drafts pretty funny, isn't It's pretty compromised the way it all happens. But seven South Australians went, which was great. Pick twenty two yeah, yeah, it was fantastic. Now, if you talk to a lot of recruiters and people out there, they say this draft is not as deep or as talented as say next year's is going to be or the one that we've just had two months ago. There is, and look that may well be true, but you know some players developed later you never fully know. It's a We've spoken about this a lot. It's a five ten year exercise, but seven South Australians are right. Will is an outstanding achievement and not surprisingly, pick number one went to a man who's soon We've heard a lot in the AFL already. Willem Dursmer great pick one.
00:15:46
Speaker 9: The West Coast Eagles select Willem at Dursmar from m ghipslam Power and the.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: Fastt TWNA you have.
00:15:58
Speaker 8: He is some so yeah, he's Xavierdersman's brother, Zaane Dursman's brother Yasmin so yes, he's three siblings will play in the AFL or aflw Sole family think he's probably going to be the pick of the lot, at least if you're going by talent. The Crows, they're the only team that had to pick last night at the two ESA Clubsport don't have one until later on. They went with Mitch Marsh, who was one of those South Australians. He's a forward from West Adelaide, so I think they were pretty keen on him. I think they were pretty keen on Dice and Sharp, but they missed out on him. He's a midfielder, so they ended up with Mitch Marsh. Good luck to them all. I hope they go well. And then the Adelaie thirty six has played last night outstanding win again coming from behind to win by twelve points. They go to ten and three so they're second on the table. Another great crowd. They're flying. Bryce Cotton thirty one points. Tomorrow will do a full Ashes preview as we get sat in the first Test, so looking forward to that.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: Bring it on of times A start one pm.
00:17:01
Speaker 8: It's a bit later because we're in Perth year.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: That's good two and a half out just before. I don't want to steal from your preview or any but right now, what's your confidence level and going to the first Test? If you're added ten ten being week we can lose zero being we can't win four? Eh? Interesting? All right, let's not expand on it because I'm I'm kind of with you a little bit we'll talk about it tomorrow. That's going to be really interesting, all right, Good on, David.
00:17:28
Speaker 1: Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.
00:17:33
Speaker 2: Twenty two minutes to seven. SA Police and Emergency Services are at the scene of a crash at Potter Court at Evanston Gardens. Police and Energy Services were called to the scene about an hour and a half ago and arrive to find a car had crashed onto the rail corridor on the Galla Line. One person's been treated by SA Ambulance Cruise MFS crews are working to remove the vehicle. I wonder if that's causing an issue for trains then on the caller line that we just got that from.
00:17:59
Speaker 10: So so, speaking of Staypole, how many hours would they have spent already planning for cop How many like hookups would there have been with every commissioner in the country because we're going to have to bring in hundreds of.
00:18:13
Speaker 3: Police from elsewhere. It was it was a huge national effort. So much time has gone into it, so much money has been spent on it.
00:18:24
Speaker 2: You would think the other thing if any of.
00:18:26
Speaker 3: Our listeners, have you got kids who are going to get married next year or like who've been told no, look, sorry, we can't use the hotel then, because all the hotels have been waiting for these mass bookings. So now I would say, if you want to book a room anywhere in Adelaide November.
00:18:45
Speaker 2: Twenty twe a good discount rates.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, jump on Airbnb or booking dot com and see what you can find because there will be plenty of plenty of rooms up for grabs.
00:18:55
Speaker 2: Maybe they should request an early test match next year. Yeah, that's a good idea. Make it the first test in November. Yeah, Phillips, the first two tests will be in Adelaide. That a couple of tests BP Grand Final Race. Yeah, that might be the way to do it. We do have a test that's starting not in Adelaide but Perth tomorrow. And I love this story we had on seven News last night with our next guest, Jack Conness, from who we founded Jake k Cricket. That is his business in his home making cricket bats. Well, there'll be a couple of bats to doing in the ashes tomorrow. Jack's passion project becoming looks like a pretty wonderful career. Jack, good morning to.
00:19:36
Speaker 6: You, David Will thank you very much for having me.
00:19:39
Speaker 2: What did you make your first bat? Jack?
00:19:41
Speaker 6: Oh, mate, I would have been seventeen or eighteen. I reckon just out of kind of a part made cless that I found in Perth and got that admittedly to pay for it at the time to bring it over and just kind of yeah, packed away a little bit too fair with some old tools and I was repairing bats at the time. But that was a good experience back then, so it.
00:20:06
Speaker 3: Must be quite a unique art form. Jack people make guitars like doing them from scratch. What's the difference between a handmade bat and the kind of one you pick up at rebel Sport.
00:20:20
Speaker 6: I guess it's an interesting industry because even a lot of the bats that are kind of sourced from India are still handmade a lot of the time, just in larger factories at larger scales. And I guess Australia's got a pretty cool history with cricket bat making. There was a guy who used to make bats in the Brossel Valley called Filky Cricket used to actually saw some kind of trees from the May River and a few other places. So we've actually got quite a proud history with batmaking and what it looks like, so kind of a part of that, it's been, yeah, fantastic.
00:20:54
Speaker 2: So what sort of tivioty you use?
00:20:57
Speaker 6: So we use English willow? So will there's lots of other Yeah, lots of other kind of willow out there, but it's been kind of bound to yea be the best over time and yeah, being used for over one hundred years now, so yeah, this tree is absolutely there.
00:21:14
Speaker 2: So how does it work? Who's going to be using your bat in the test tomorrow? And have you had thats used at the test matches for Seenior Cricket before?
00:21:24
Speaker 6: Oh no, absolutely not so like yeah, potentially Jake and Brendan Doggett, So yeah, Jake Waller and Brendan Doggett been people I've worked with over the past kind of last few years, and yeah, it's been fantastic to work with them, to be fair, and potentially see kind of the brands on TV maybe at that high level will be Yeah, something I'm certainly proud of for sure.
00:21:48
Speaker 2: And do you play as well? Jack?
00:21:50
Speaker 3: Did you get into it through playing or is it more just a sort of craftsman side of it that appealed to you?
00:21:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I was, I was, I was an Adelaide high boy and we have quite a cricket program. Went through that and I was always that kid who was you know, could put on a grip really quickly, and I think one of our coaches kind of identified me as a cricket back group guy. So from there I kind of yeah, just yeah, gave a bit of a crack on a few mates bats and then I'm by local club Kensington, but part of a year. About two years later, two years ago, I kind of decided to quick cricket and I was pretty dusty out of the workshop on Saturday's rocking up later games and stuff, so I thought, let's just, yeah, potentially get my cricket fixed by making him and stuff.
00:22:38
Speaker 3: So now that you mentioned it, I've got three sons and we're going about nineteen crappy old bats going around in the Backyut.
00:22:46
Speaker 2: How do you put on a cricket group?
00:22:50
Speaker 6: Oh mate, I've seen many people do it, and the old group cone certainly gets to work out in my workshop. But yeah, there's a little bit of an art. I think once, once you see someone do it, you kind of roll it up one way and then the other way and chuck it on. There is a little bit of warming up to do with the rubber, but once you get that sorted, it's all pretty sweet. So I'm sure you picked it up pretty quickly.
00:23:13
Speaker 11: Mate.
00:23:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey Jack, how did it come to pass that one day Joe Route came to your workshop needing a bat repaired?
00:23:21
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that was actually interesting enough.
00:23:24
Speaker 11: Like Jake.
00:23:26
Speaker 6: Was just messaged me because he kind of knew Travis Head at the time and he, yeah, knew I fixed krickerbats. So it's kind of actually through Jake who gave me a call in twenty twenty two. And yeah, that was a pretty cool experience, I guess having Yeah, Joe just kind of roll into the workshop. He's a really nice fellaw as well, was really respectful and kind of came through and showed me his bats to take a little bit of weight off. So it was a lot of adjustment work that I did just to make sure they kind of felt quite balanced for him. So yeah, typically a player will hold anywhere between kind of six to twelve bats in their kit bag for a series, so I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to kind of adjust five of them at the time and then kind of drop them off to the hotel and see how they goes so amazing.
00:24:14
Speaker 2: I understand you too, what you work as an OT Jack, How close to you to being able to be a full time cricket bat make and repair?
00:24:22
Speaker 6: Oh mate, yeah, it's it's certainly one of those things. Love love being OT. I'm very lucky to be able to do two things I really love. But yeah, I guess when you've when you've kind of lived and breathed a brand and a love passion for such a long time, there's a big paul and a big push for me to continue to pursue this. And yeah, it's something I'd love to be able to do full time one day and continue to do that and kind of start making cricket bats hopefully all around Australia one day and see how that goes so well.
00:24:52
Speaker 2: Let's say let's say Jack Weatherill slaps a ton with your bat and on the on Perth and we can we can get one new lead and the ashes Jack. That'll be a nice little start, I reckon. Hey, great to chat with you all the best. You're a terrific story. We love it. It's good stuff now.
00:25:08
Speaker 6: I really appreciate that, guys, And yeah, thanks for having me on.
00:25:10
Speaker 2: Jack Conness j K Cricket. It's just a lovely organic story. Adelaide guy loves cricket, loves making bats. Would the smell of that workshop were on the Facebook and YouTube loves and who's had some shots of him working in his workshop. It just looks spectacular.
00:25:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's stunning. I love I love that smell of freshly cut timber. It's such a good smell, and all the linseed oil and even the glues that the use.
00:25:34
Speaker 2: There's something kind of nice about an old world quality about making cricket bats from a hand. This is a young fellow in Adelaide who's said, I'm going to become an expert at that. You'd think that's kind of lost.
00:25:44
Speaker 3: Things like the string, the string on the handle under the grip, and the little long, thin V shaped wedge in the neck.
00:25:52
Speaker 2: Ye waiting the bat where the meat where the meat of the bat sits maximizing power. But it's still light like it's a it's a real art form. I love that story. Let's say to the weather Bureau, Ellie Matthews joins us morning to you. Ellie Mohne.
00:26:06
Speaker 12: David and Will how are you both?
00:26:08
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, well Thursday, tell us about Thursday, but we also want to hear about this warmth that might be coming.
00:26:15
Speaker 9: Ah.
00:26:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, So having a look out there at the moment, generally partly cloudy conditions over the Adelaide area. There is some showers just pushing over parts of the Fluria Peninsula, and we could continue to see some very light showers about sort of the eastern side of the Lofties there with these south to the southeasterly winds pushing over. But generally we're looking at a settled day across the region for Thursday. We've got a high pressure bridge that's sitting over the state and does mean temperatures today we're looking at a top of twenty one degrees for Adelaide, same for glenel whilst twenty two degrees for Elizabeth, twenty four no longer, and seventeen degrees for Mount Barker, and these partly cloudy conditions to continue now into tomorrow. We will start to slowly warm up, so we're looking at a top twenty five degrees for Adelaide tomorrow, generally remaining fine for much of Friday and dry, but we will start to see a trough that's forming out in the far west and pushing into western districts during Frida and eventually reaching Adelaide and central districts by the time we get into early Saturday. So on Saturday, temperatures still sort of around that twenty five degree mark for Adelaide, but we will start to see some showers and even isolated thunderstorms developing. So with those showers and thunderstorms, we could see sort of up to seven or even eight millimeters about some parts of the region. Generally with that it will be quite hit or miss. If you do see a thunderstorm, you could receive those higher totals than neighboring areas. But particularly into Sunday is where we do start to see those temperatures warming and even into early next week. So we've got thirty degrees on the forecast for Adelaide on sun and sunny conditions. That's as that low pressure trough that's bringing conditions on Saturday eventually moves into those eastern districts in a way into Victoria, and behind that we will see much clearest guys and the ability for things to warm up much more into that late weekend early next week.
00:28:18
Speaker 2: David and Will good stuff, Elie. Thank you early Matthews at the weather Bureau. Let's say to save Bolston. He comes to a Matt Brown joins us Matt d A car crashed into a laundromat yesterday.
00:28:27
Speaker 13: That's right Will and Dave holding for then and crashed into the front of the business on Yorktown Road at Elizabeth Park about eight pm on Wednesday, the nineteenth of November. The car narrowly missed a cleaner who was exiting the building and also a child standing nearby, so the impact damaged to the front windows and door of the building, but the car immediately drove off and police track the site into a Craigmore address, but unfortunately we're unable to locate the driver. Is anyone who witnessed the crash or may have seen the car leave in the area as I used to call crime stoppers on one eight hundred, triple three, triple.
00:28:57
Speaker 3: Zero mat Also a drink driver's been caught at Smithfield Planes.
00:29:02
Speaker 13: That's right, David. About nine to twenty four pm last night, police were called to Peachey Road after reports that a black hole in sedan had left the road and collided with a tree. The driver a thirty seven year old Monoporel woman underwent a breath test and returned a positive reading of point one nine four, so she was reported for drink driving, issued a twelve month immediate loss of license notice. A car was impounded for twenty eight days. She'll be summers to appear in court at a later date.
00:29:26
Speaker 2: And just lastly, Matte, you've caught up with a couple of teens who nicked off with a scooter.
00:29:31
Speaker 13: Exactly right about five pm last night, two suspects stole a white Balshin petrol scooter. I hope I've pronounced that correctly from Gaul Place in Adelaide. Members of the public reported seeing the scooter driving erradically in and around Forestfield and Oaklands Park and patrols responded to search the area and spotted the scooter on the Southern Expressway at Darlington and Polla. Air was able to track the thieves from above as they drove along the Southern Expressway bike path and then onto Old South Road At Old Ronella. The duo dump the scooter and Backman Avenue before fleeing on foot, but police arrested both teams nearby and the writer of fourteen year old boy from Warfa Vale was charged with writing without a license, legal use for motor vehicle numerous other offenses, while the fourteen year old passenger from Ronella was also charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle, carrying an offensive weapon and two counts of theft relating to other incidents. Both boys were charged with another theft of an additional petrol scooter from the Adelaide CBD. Neither of them applied to bail, so they will appear in court today. So some good work by patrols both in and on the ground and in the air.
00:30:37
Speaker 2: Good work mate, Thank you soon you can. Stable Matt Brown from Sapop.
00:30:40
Speaker 1: David Penberbe and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast Today. David penn Berbie and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast down.
00:30:51
Speaker 2: It wasn't I wasn't a scouting. You're scatting.
00:30:54
Speaker 3: I believe that the clear Lane Scottish Funk Band we had a com petition that we ran in good faith on the five double breakfas show recently regarding the naming of the new tunnel boring machines that will dig out the tunnels for the South Road extension, the next stage of it.
00:31:12
Speaker 2: The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport is on the line on five double breakfast. Minister, good morning to you. My fear is you've got names for the new machines that we didn't pick.
00:31:22
Speaker 14: Oh actually I think some of them might be on there. Okay, drill it's on the list. Someone has put that formerly onto the list though.
00:31:30
Speaker 2: Hang on, Julia Drillard is on the list.
00:31:33
Speaker 14: Yes, that made it formally. Yes, you've done very well done. I think my favorite one that's also made in one of the bit of the fun ones was the miss Frog Cake. I thought that was a good one South Australia. That you know, we've seen a few fun ones country from the Cath Kim and Sharon, the drill Top Hoods owners that tame up on your program as well.
00:31:58
Speaker 2: I think d drill Top Foods is good.
00:32:01
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's popped up as well. But you know, there's also the serious ones that have come through, ones that people feel really represents South Australian women because that we know it has to be a female name that dates right back to the fifteen hundreds as a tradition. But you know, there is some serious ones coming through and we also just want to keep this momentum going as one more week left for people to get their names in, and yes, it's been a lot of fun and a lot of them that made me laugh, and some of them I can't mention on radio had that very standards. But there's definitely these some really good ones that have been put forward to that from Aaron Phillips, Marjorie Jackson Nelson. But I also I'm really enjoying the really local lives, people that every day South Australians that do really extraordinary things that could find their name on the side of a piece of our history tunnel boring machine.
00:32:55
Speaker 2: So Minister, I love this thing. I love this thing.
00:32:59
Speaker 3: Is there a way can the public vote on this or is it how does it work?
00:33:03
Speaker 14: I don't want to make this decision because I would take way too long trying to figure it out who could be the top three. So what we're going to do is we're going to close it off on the thirtieth of November, so just over a week away, and then we're going to narrow it down to a short list and go back out to the public and people.
00:33:20
Speaker 15: Can vote on them.
00:33:21
Speaker 14: So really looking forward to that. We have been blown away via the interest. We had two thousand people already put names in and we know we're going to put one name into its two thousand names that we have. And when we've had the machinery come in to South Australia and being transported down the road, you know, we've had people in their deck chairs lining the road to watch these pieces of infrastructure come in and it's just been extraordinary how much people want to be a part of it because they know how significant this project is. You know, it's been talked about for way too long and now we're getting on and doing it, so exciting for everyone certainly.
00:33:58
Speaker 2: Is so there's only one name, it's going to be picked. Three names of three, three names three that's goods.
00:34:05
Speaker 14: Actually two little tonne of waring machines as well, so maybe we give them one of the fun names. But yeah, so there's three and we're going to have to say them a lot, so I guess it's one of those ones. You want to be able to say it easily and I want to be able to say it's without being too embarrassed.
00:34:22
Speaker 2: That's excellent, minister, Thank you, Minister Instruction trans for Emily Burke. Do we have the originally something goes wrong though. It's like Julia Drillard's costing this country a fortune.
00:34:33
Speaker 3: Julia Drillard has come loose off her tracks at the corner of Range and South Road and smashed it on the Old side of the West.
00:34:40
Speaker 2: Eviden Hotel is the author of Julia Drillard. Still listening. We'd love to hear from you, because you've made the short list. I've got a few feeling it was Rob Rob claim it if it was you, whoever it was, claim it, because that one was that was one hundred percent of five double a breakfast. Suggestion I do like Tina is pretty good too. Tina Turner, that's great. That's pretty good. That should make a gold dress for it. If Tina Cherner gets oh yeah, I'm cheering cheering hard for five double A breakfasts own Julia Drillard, that is superb. I wonder if the former Prime Minister knows about that. I think should be honored. Yeah, she'd probably go down and pose up next to it. Yep'd be great. All right, we're gonna take a break. Five double a use is coming up.
00:35:29
Speaker 1: David Penberthie and Wild Goodings. Five double a breakfast, six after.
00:35:33
Speaker 2: Seven, Good morning too. If you're joining us for the first time on this Thursday morning. I think this is the first time this week that I've been able to look at the window towards the hills and say, it's largely clear. There's only a little bit of cloud, but there's some sun coming through. It's not overcast. There's thirty degree temperatures in our near future. Just maybe the season is changing. I'm glad that the situation regarding phone and internet service outages have changed in Balaclav because it means we can talk to our NIX guest about what it's been like living in Balotclav and trying to operate a business there. For the last seven days we're due to a Telstra upgrade. Internet services, phone services haven't worked. Just think about that, running a business in this day and age. Well, exactly right. It's the equivalent of it's the it's the digital Jetti road. Yeah it is. Yeah. No one can get to you, No one can get to you. That has exactly been the experience of n EX guest BETWEENA Thomas, who's the owner operator of Timeless Beauty and Body in ballet clav a beteena, good morning to you.
00:36:33
Speaker 16: How how are you guys.
00:36:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, so just describe what it's been like and what you were expecting was going to be the case when this upgrade started.
00:36:42
Speaker 16: Well, to be honest, we didn't even get a message sent out to say that they were doing upgrades, so we kind of just got cut off out of nowhere sort of thing. So we all just assume maybe saying had happened to our individual phones. But it's been very hard to operate because we didn't have any ideas that it's going to go on, to be honest, so trying to take bookings, trying to process payments, we were all left in the dark.
00:37:05
Speaker 2: Really, that's extraordinary.
00:37:08
Speaker 3: So you'd think if they knew that this was going to happen, that someone would have the decency of telling you giving you pay for the service.
00:37:14
Speaker 16: Yeah, well I would have thought so too. Like I've had a couple of clients come in and say they only got the message yesterday as they finished the works Monday afternoon saying that, oh, they're going to be doing work for the towers that's going to be out for this long. And like I said, I personally didn't get a message, Otherwise I would have tried to find a backup option. But most of our service out here is well covered by teil show because you can't get very good other range out in the country. So and me being like a brain new business opening up, I run everything off my hot spot on my phone because you know, you tend to stick to the central service sort of stuff when you're just starting out. So I didn't want to have to go buying in a star link or whatnot just to be able to take books to run a like FoFs system.
00:37:55
Speaker 2: Well, what percentage of people that book with you book online between or and what percentage of people pay with cards and things as opposed to cash?
00:38:03
Speaker 16: Would you say, oh, easily, over ninety percent of my stuff is done online and paid by cards. Not very many people carry cash these days. And with today's world, everyone would rather do a booking online than come in and actually speak to people face to face and make a booking. So well, it's meaning into people's lifestyles too.
00:38:22
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. I mean.
00:38:23
Speaker 3: People would either book online or they'd book by making a phone call, and they almost all pay with a credit card. So every single part of your business, apart from that minuscule percentage of very very old fashioned people will.
00:38:39
Speaker 16: Go that's only my old fashioned people that are happy to pay with cash, and they carry cash honestly.
00:38:44
Speaker 2: And also walk or drive to your business to make an appointment face to face.
00:38:50
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yep.
00:38:51
Speaker 16: And it's like it hasn't just been me that was affected by I've got two little boys that go to childcare. We couldn't even get phone calls from the childcare to say if anything could happened. We couldn't get updates anything like that. So God for it. If something happened like being a working momy, same thing happened to my kids, I couldn't even be told about it.
00:39:06
Speaker 2: So what about ongoing communication from Telester between anything?
00:39:11
Speaker 16: No, So I contacted them Monday morning and asked about, like when it's going to be back on if I like there seen charts, I could get a credit, and they pretty much told me it was out of their control. They told me it was going to be back on as of nine point thirty that day, and it was not back on it nine thirty that day. And as they said is they could give me a fifteen dollars credit.
00:39:29
Speaker 7: And that was it.
00:39:30
Speaker 16: And I'm like, if you knew how much business I've lost because of this.
00:39:34
Speaker 2: My gosh.
00:39:35
Speaker 16: Yeah if it was if it was Adelaid, it'd be a whole different story. Because they're a small country town. We get forgot about really completely.
00:39:42
Speaker 2: Yeah that's extraordinary. Yeah, so is it fixed now?
00:39:47
Speaker 7: Yeah, it got.
00:39:48
Speaker 16: Turned back on as of Tuesday afternoon at around three o'clock.
00:39:53
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, yeah, we have it from.
00:39:55
Speaker 16: About Thursday mid afternoon, like morning sort of time. I'm till yeah, Tuesday.
00:40:02
Speaker 2: Good god, it's just shocking. That's amazing. Thanks for sharing your tail, and let's give you business a plug. So it's Timeless Beauty and Body. Is that the name of the shop?
00:40:15
Speaker 16: Yup down the main street of Balaclava.
00:40:17
Speaker 2: And what sort of stuff do you do in there?
00:40:19
Speaker 16: I do everything from waxing, spray turns, massages, nails, pedicures, pretty much anything you can think of beauty guys, I.
00:40:27
Speaker 2: Can do it.
00:40:28
Speaker 3: Folks, if you're heading up to Balaclava and you want to make yourself look beautiful, beteen as your woman Thomas.
00:40:34
Speaker 2: Timeless Beauty and Body just shocking, isn't it. They shouldn't be able to get away with that. Well, they contra exactly, you promise the servers businesses rely on it. It's like going to a restaurant and you know, being charged one hundred dollars and no food drives. Well, I'm not paying. Yeah. It makes the business model all upside and no downside for the telcos if you say, well, people will pay money for us to sustain their business, but if any point it goes wrong, that's not on us. No, yeah, yeah, oh will. There's no other business model of the world like that. Hey, yesterday our rumor file once again had broken a big story. We were contacted by a parent of someone in an under twelve team at Modbury who plays in the Ingle Farm Under twelve's division as part of the Adelaide Community Basketball Association, where the team was told so we were told in the rumor file that they were ineligible to play finals because they were too good. The Advertiser followed up the rumor and spoke with the association. They provided a statement that reads, in part, to assist open this is a direct quote to assist the public and understanding this context. ACBA Ingle Farm is a domestic social competition, meaning it is specifically designed for to participation in community engagement and development, and is not an elite district or representative league. It was a structural requirement of a small social league design for participation development. It was made to ensure well being, fairness, and meaningful competition for all young athletes, while still recognizing and encouraging strong performers to pursue to pursue higher level pathways in district and representative basketball. So if we don't get too good or kick you out, I think what it means is the rumor was one hundred percent right on. One of the parents of a player is on the line with us, now, good morning to you.
00:42:27
Speaker 15: Hey guys, how we doing.
00:42:28
Speaker 2: How does that statement gel with your experience? And what's your instant reaction having just heard that.
00:42:34
Speaker 15: Look, I get that the team that we've got is pretty good. Like they have one, they've gone undefeated. They usually win pretty big and convincingly. But that's that's no fault of their own. They don't go out to smash teams. They're not an elite team. They've got a handful of good kids. They've got a really, really good coach who has them play in the right way. You know, there's no there's no disrespect, there's no violence, there's no swearing, there's none of that kind of rubbish that you see from you know, maybe in district or other teams, and like they've earned the right to play finals and to have the rug pulled out from underneath them this late in the season, and then to get that sort of comment from them, it's staggering.
00:43:23
Speaker 3: I just can't believe this story. How hard has it been explaining to the kids what's going on?
00:43:29
Speaker 15: H yeah, so they they just don't get it like that. They it's basketball, right, So it's not like soccer where you aim to finish top of the ladder and that's good enough. Basketball is all about finals. It's all about the playoffs. You look at you know, the NBA, no one cares who won the East of or Western conference. They just care about who won the playoffs. And that's what these kids dream about. They just want to play in the finals. They want to have a chance of winning a grand final. And look, they're the dominant team. They may you know that they're the favor they would have the favorites to win the Grand Final. But don't we all love an underdog story, don't we all route for you know, the team that's managed to sneak into the finals and go on a run and try and knock off the dominant team, like they're taken that away from us. They've taken it away from other teams that you want to have a shot at the big boys, so to speak.
00:44:20
Speaker 3: I just think it's just utterly pathetic that this competition has done my eight year old players at Forestville. And we know that there are some teams that they really struggle to beat, like there's dominant sides in the competition, but there have been occasions where they've they've done really well and even scored a few points against them in some cases.
00:44:42
Speaker 2: There was one game we had where.
00:44:43
Speaker 3: They actually beat one of the really good sides and it meant so much to the kids that they did that. As you say, mate, but I mean, what are we teaching children? Like I think it's important that my son knows that there are times in life where you just cannot beat somebody or something because they're better than you. Maybe find another pursuit where you can excel at it.
00:45:04
Speaker 2: It's just extraordinary, thank you. I think the most bizarre and arbitrary component of this if the league wants to say to the team, hey, maybe these kids are really talented, you should look at playing them in district door or some other competition next year. Fine. Doing it at the start of finals with the season currently going on is just really unfair to the kids involved.
00:45:30
Speaker 3: I just think they sound like PC handringers. I mean the statement you read out, Well, there's other stuff in it too. We are a highly inclusive, participation based competition with a proudly multicultural and diverse player bass.
00:45:45
Speaker 2: So what's that got to do with anything? But it's just bizarre. Well, maybe it's not bizarre.
00:45:51
Speaker 3: Maybe it's maybe it's just the next logical step of well band scoring because people might get upset if they lose. Now we won't band scoring were ban winning?
00:46:02
Speaker 2: Was any of this stuff ever based on evidence either? Like I say that as a kid who was terrible at sport, I was always in teams that got smashed and I loved every single second of it. Now I know one person isn't a base of evidence, but I played in a team full of people. We always had a great time because there were small wins you'd have, or there are moments or chances, or I reckon. Kids are pretty adept at dealing with this kind of stuff. I don't remember being part of a team that was hopeless that everyone just walked away in tears.
00:46:34
Speaker 3: And the other thing too, is that the kids in the other teams now that are going to make the finals, and also their parents, they're all going to know the other thing's a bit of a joke anymore. Yeah, because they're not playing the best team. I just don't know who we're protecting her really more if they tried. Hey, am, just quickly. We were talking about Julia Drillard, one of the shortlisted nicknames for the giant drilling machine being used on South Road. Our resident stats Ben Ben Jordan reminds us it was Ian from Tonander, Ian from Tornando stats Man.
00:47:09
Speaker 2: He's even got stats on our own callers.
00:47:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben writes, Ian from Tonando was the genius behind Julia Drillard. It's been drillified.
00:47:17
Speaker 2: So thank you. And if you're listening basking the glory mates statsman and five double a breakfast historian Ben Jordan's Ian and you could be named it could be your name adorning a tunnel boring machine. Let's go and checking with all the Fulvigo for nine News here at Adelaide and reporting for the Today Show on an announcement that's been made with regard to Live golf Will Good morning to you. We've got some big name music acts coming to Adelaide.
00:47:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, good one into both of you. This is pretty exciting stuff. So two out of the four music acts are going to be coming here in February of Ben and Nouns. On the Friday night is going to be the Sydney based indy duo Royal Lotus, so some of your listeners might recall some of their work. They have covered Cranberry's and they've covered Sophiellis Baxter. They've got that song of Oysters in my pocket. They're a good indie band. And then on the Sunday it's going to be Fisher DJ Fisher again, and that's pretty much is he's a mainstay or he's always there after the trophy presentations and just going from strength to strength. Really Aria winner, Grammy nominated, and I think if the viewers have been going out to Live here on year, they would very well remember what he could bring to the table. So's some exciting stuff there. There's still two more acts to announce and organizers are teasing that the Saturday could be their biggest headliner yet, so you'll have to watch that space I said.
00:48:36
Speaker 2: That Saturday, the big Saturday gigs yet to be announced, will.
00:48:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's correct. Yea, the Saturday is I think that's Valentine's Day as well, So maybe it might be maybe a slower tune or maybe it'll just be some heavier rock. But that's being teased as their biggest headliner yet.
00:48:53
Speaker 2: Good stuff wild of Fulvio from nine years Adelaide Live Golf. Haven't heard of those performers. Fisher was Fisher there before? Fisher's a DJ. DJ. Know this is playing record, not traditional five double breakfast eeries? Is it exact? Let's ship traffic.
00:49:15
Speaker 1: David Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:49:19
Speaker 2: Twenty three after seven, as revealed in the Rumor File yesterday and confirmed today, the junior basketball team kicked out of the camp for being too good Graham and Williamstown has called in on this this year. Morning Graham, Good morning guys.
00:49:33
Speaker 17: I was thinking, how is this for a scenario. The s ANFL has contacted the football club and said, look, you guys haven't lost a game this year, so we're going to ask you not to play in the finals. Give every birdie or some chance.
00:49:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well that that game against Wood the West Torran's Graham, where it was one hundred points to two at halftime.
00:49:53
Speaker 2: Maybe they should have didn't think about their feelings.
00:49:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Just let the Eagles, you know, give them the ball in the goal square at the start of each turnover after after seriously we said, made the same point yesterday about Central's when they had their decade long run of wins.
00:50:10
Speaker 2: Should they should they have been kicked out of the s A NFL. It's the ultimate square peg in a round hole, isn't it trying to apply these sort of modern standards of some weird construction of decency into something that is by design about determining who wins and who loses and being able to accurately describe the distance between the two teams with something called a score, like least the fundamental elements of sport.
00:50:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:50:36
Speaker 3: Robert Hughes had a good line about that in his book Culture of Complaint, where he said tennis can be shorn of its elitist overtone simply by removing the net. That's right, because I want people to feel like they can't get the ball now. Exactly, great equalizer, isn't it getting rid?
00:50:54
Speaker 2: Of the net. All right, let's uh, let's change change tack for a little bit here, because there is some big changes coming to young people's lives. Over the course of the next fortnight, the social media ban will be in effect, and meta have already started sending out messages to young people saying your accounts are going to be disabled. There's a process by which you can download your data and so forth, so when you do come of legal age to your social media it'll all be back. You won't lose anything, but the process has officially begun. What if you're not friends with the people anymore? Well, that's an awkward thing to sort out down the track, isn't it? Exact person? Professor Lisa Given is does information science that to r MIT and joins us on five double a breakfast now, Professor Given, good morning to you.
00:51:41
Speaker 1: Good morning to what extent do we know and how.
00:51:44
Speaker 2: Uniform of the process is that these social media companies are using to both alert and then, I don't know, for onet of a better phrase, kick off young people from their platforms.
00:51:53
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, there's certainly no standard here, so I think Facebook and Mata is effectively setting the standard. Each company could decide to contact people in a different way. They may have slightly different timeframes and they could use very different technologies or approaches to do that age assurance piece.
00:52:10
Speaker 3: How how sort of resilient is the system going to be to kids just lying about their age?
00:52:16
Speaker 2: Professor?
00:52:18
Speaker 18: Well, they've basically said that anyone who say, wakes up this morning and tries to change their age in the system is going to have to go through that age assurance process. So the companies, you know, they've got to demonstrate that they're taking steps to do as much as they can to keep kids off of the platforms. If those kids then, say, go through the facial scanning, we know that there is an error rate there, so some kids are going to slip through. I suspect that many kids will give that a try see if they can maintain access to the account, but many of them will simply be blocked when they try to lie.
00:52:52
Speaker 3: What's the sort of international context of all of this. I mean, we saw there was that amazing spite given by the Australian mother who lost her daughter to cyber bullying at the un only a month or so ago. Do you think that the Australian laws are going to be picked up by other countries.
00:53:13
Speaker 18: Absolutely. You know, we've already seen Denmark is bringing in controls for under fifteen. I know that you know, New Zealand's watching carefully. The UK has said that they're wanting to do this, as has the European Union. So I think everyone is really watching and waiting to see how effective this is going to be as well as just the technical possibilities. You know, is this something that's going to work and keep the majority of kids off of the platforms. We know it's not one hundred percent, but I think globally everyone's grappling with concerns about you know, harm online. You know, this is real harm, and the tech companies, in my view, should be held to account. This is one strategy to try to keep kids safe, but the world has lots of other options and people are looking at a range of different liass.
00:54:02
Speaker 2: How how good's the list of these companies and these apps that we're banning PROVISI given of they're there any that have slipped through the cracks that you think are curious? For example, I see Discords not on the list and it makes me scratch my head. I'm not sure why that would be the cause are there other examples like that, Yeah, Discord is one.
00:54:22
Speaker 18: We've also seen roadblocks recently that a gaming platform that we thought might be included and it's not now included. I think that there are you know, this is going to be an evolving space, and even things like Discord and roadblocks, depending on the context. If a lot of kids suddenly rush over to Discord and it becomes an unsafe space, the e Safety Commissioner may decide, Okay, we need to take a second look. I think the challenge here is that the legislation sets out very specific definitions of what constitutes social media, and some of these other platforms are kind of in a middle ground that is complicated. It's not as clean to to decide is it in or is it out?
00:55:03
Speaker 2: Tell you what if road Block's got banned, there'd be an absolute revolution at our place with our eight year old and our teen year old. I think they'd go on a hunger strike. Unbelievable. What a time to be alive.
00:55:14
Speaker 3: Professor at least had given the information sciences guru at rm I t res blocks.
00:55:19
Speaker 2: We should keep in touch with the professor. Given that was a good explanation of everything, A good even handed explanation of the big changes that are coming.
00:55:25
Speaker 3: Two weeks away. These kid's going to do with their time. It's going to be an interesting lifestyle adjustment, isn't it. Hopefully it's like the experience at the schools where phones have been banned at recess and lunchtime and suddenly people having conversations again.
00:55:37
Speaker 2: Well I'm intrigued. Well, yeah, because I think the element of what we're trying to ban is the dangerous social media element. But as we I talked about yesterday, ninety percent of the time spent on these things now is watching him watching videos. Yeah, so there's plenty of other ways to do that. Maybe this is this could be free to wear Television's lucky break will towards the children at the age of sixteen. I'd like to introduce you to the six o'clock news. Like to check out preticle David Penberthy.
00:56:08
Speaker 1: And Will Goodings five double A Breakfast. I was.
00:56:16
Speaker 2: Here's the monk received manifest you're eating the doors. I'll tell you what any buses sex anyone not turning up the day as a dumb Matt back to the scene of the crime. Matt Abraham and the five double a breakfast studio. I think we've resisted calls from politicians at state and federal level, having banned from ever returning. But here he is. I thought they want to be bad.
00:56:42
Speaker 9: Matt, Good morning to you, Good morning work, Good morning David.
00:56:45
Speaker 2: Great work. Last Friday, Matt.
00:56:47
Speaker 3: I said to Will when I came in on Monday morning that the next time might take a rare day off work. I think the premier is going to take the day off work just in case you're.
00:56:58
Speaker 2: Doing it's all rough and tumble for terrific. You did a great job.
00:57:04
Speaker 9: Vote I thank you, thank you.
00:57:07
Speaker 2: You enjoyed.
00:57:08
Speaker 9: I did, although I'd forgotten what it was like after the whole day. Well, this is what I'm like after getting up at four in the morning and then doing the breaky shift. And I was a bit nervous beforehand, and my wife said, Helen said to me, what doesn't matter because it's over quickly, which is the best thing about breakfast. But also how you have jet lag for the rest of the day. Yea, it is sort of like this fog. But then I'm old, so young ones you bounced through it.
00:57:37
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, young. Maybe this guy on my right, not not Me's terrific.
00:57:43
Speaker 9: Now is the government is the state. Well South Australians should be rejoicing that we're not going to get Cop number one because I think it would have been like a logistical night may of course it would have been a triumph, but I think the Albanese government is very happy to basically surrender on it, which is effectively what they've done. If for Turkey a e turkya turkya wanted because it's going to cost something like one somewhere between one billion and two billion, I don't know how you can just sort of throw that figure around, but it was an enormous amount of money.
00:58:25
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you know how much it's already cost in return for exactly nought. I mean, we know that we've had a few mayors that have toddled off to Rio, but besides that, Graham Goodings had the amazing statistic the other morning that's something like four hundred and forty Australian public servants or elected people have gone off to to Rio and other conference is already.
00:58:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Andrew Bolts column, the ties of this morning lest some of the bizarre groups that are over there, you know, like it's sort of underwater basket weaving for Gay Wales territory sort of. I don't know if I allowed to say that, but look, everyone who's anyone's over there. I think it's been a huge, sort of in a way bureaucratic public service boondoggle. Our three mayors here are an excellent example of that heading over there. I know they all think they did wonderful things, but really they didn't need to be there. That that that was a waste of money. And the state government, I think Peter Malnauskus it's you would if we don't get COP and it looks like we're not, then it's another fail. And he's had a few big fails as we roll towards election campaign. Project Prosperity, you know, transforming the North with desalinated water and green hydrogen is in tatters. They're they're big fails by this government, and I would think there'll be a I think there's an upside to not having COP.
00:59:52
Speaker 2: Let's put it like that, not for hospitality there there's a huge I think that I think that point you made it initially is bright on. There's a huge upside. For Anthony Alberanezy, I think there's was a really tough sell outside of South Australia. Oh yeah, because I mean, look, whether you have ideological problems with what the events a out or not, it's hard to convince the rest of Australia spend billions of dollars for an event that's only going to benefit Adelaide. That was that was the challenge. I mean, there's enough so olbow killing it looks like a hero everywhere it's South Australia.
01:00:21
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I doubt many South Australians, or very few Australians, would even care two hoots about cop you know, really like it's what is it? To most people? You go out in the outer suburbs of Adelaide, it'll be like, well, big deal. I'm more worried about whether my kids or grandkids have somehow inhaled asbestos in the lovely cute, little cheap playstand that they get at office works or Kmart or wherever, and is in the classroom, or paying off my mortgage, and whether there are buses in my area now where you know, whether the streets are so narrow and the new subdivisions you can't get garbage trucks down the well. That's sort of start I'll.
01:01:05
Speaker 3: Put it in the energy space. The big story in energy in Australia in the last twelve months has been their power bills have gone up by twenty five percent at a time where Chris Barnes keeps talking about how you know, we've got this exciting renewable future, or maybe we do, but at the moment we also have an increasingly unaffordable renewables oriented present.
01:01:27
Speaker 2: But what's the relationship between these things. Are we going to get cheap about bills now that we don't have COP, Well, no we're not. But the thing is, if COP was here and we had all these people making all these lofty, performative gestures and carrying on and you know, all singing from little things, big things grow as the contents you looking at your age. What a total rhymes with anchor? Yes, exactly. It's going to happen anyway somewhere in the world, and we're going to get lectured like who cares? But I think it's hard. It's hard.
01:01:58
Speaker 3: It's hard to sell here because we're for our taxes for all of this high faluting nonsense to happen right here, and we've closed one quarter of the city for a month to do it.
01:02:09
Speaker 2: I think that that part of it. Mate. I struggle with the idea, and it's all academic now because it's not going to happen with I mean I could if you don't like cop. How what's the argument for live golf? Because to me, they're the same thing.
01:02:22
Speaker 9: There isn't is it?
01:02:24
Speaker 2: Are they the same thing?
01:02:26
Speaker 14: Ah?
01:02:27
Speaker 2: Well no, I think they're totally different. Because Live makes people want to come to Adelaide, brings more people than the Olympic game.
01:02:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's a one off thing. Live changes people's This is the argument. Live changes people's perceptions of Adelaide.
01:02:41
Speaker 2: It makes people. You know, people say, Adelaide's boring. Have you been together around? Have you been to live?
01:02:44
Speaker 3: Adelaide's cool. They've got wineries, they got this, They've got that. Cops aren't going to do that in a lot ongoing sense.
01:02:51
Speaker 2: What okay, Yeah, so we weren't doing Olympics either. I guess we wouldn't. To be honest with Malley's premiere, whim is interested like do we care about cost benefit ratios or not?
01:03:04
Speaker 19: What?
01:03:04
Speaker 2: Because this has been this state, go ask this because this state government's really pegged achievement to bringing events here and the rationale is the rationale for them has never been. It doesn't matter whether you care about it. It matters whether the outgoing amount of taxpayer money is smaller than the amount of economic activity that's been generated. So that's always been their justification. I know that.
01:03:27
Speaker 9: But I also think that live golf, the gather around on the car race, which are the three big markers of Peter mal Lawski's mask, continue to mask some of his big failures. And the green hydrogen plant is a big failure. The we're now chained to Wyler. There's there's talk that we may need and you interviewed the Treasurer Tom Kutsontonus on this. We may need to throw in one and a half two billion dollars for gas for why for the you know, before Blue Scope or whoever decided to take it, which.
01:04:05
Speaker 2: Is not included in the initial Yeah, billions of dollars that have been expended on Whaler and.
01:04:11
Speaker 9: The detail plant has been pushed out over the horizon that was going to sort of provide water for BHP at Olympic Dam. Two big, two big things, you know, like three years ago, the first year this State Prosperity Project, they They've had beer coasters printed and beer mats for the pubs. I mean, just had massive advertising that this was going to be a big deal and it's just disappeared. And what we're going to be left with is, you know, the big concern is extra debt for both Whyalah and also the potential in the future desail plant. Now Tom Kutsontanis is incredibly convincing on this as treasurer. You know, he's a terrific performer as treasurer. And his argument is, oh, well, look, if the price goes up for these projects, we'll just charge them more. We'll charge them more for gas, we'll charge them more for water. Well that's fine, but the actual capital cost has a big impact on state debt, and taxpayers have to pay the interest bill on that state.
01:05:15
Speaker 2: Debt, you know that.
01:05:17
Speaker 9: And that's almost an instant thing. And then you have this long term thing, Oh we're going to charge them more for gas, We're going to charge them more for water. We've sort of got to be a bit competitive on that as well. But the opposition on this has just been you know that the Liberals to me are just lame. And I had to ask Patrick out there who helped me. I said, who's the liberal shadow treasure because I look it up all every time, you know, and it's Sam Telfer.
01:05:45
Speaker 2: And when.
01:05:48
Speaker 9: Tony, oh god, Vincent Tarsier far out, when Vincent Tarsia announced this stamp big thing on stamp duty. We're going to get rid of stamp duty over about one hundred forty years or something. I think the program is. But he is going to get rid of stamp duty. I don't think Sam Telfer was at the press conference and top quts of Toni's put out a press release, you know, missing person's alert for Sam Telford. If you've seen this man, they had that fun of him carrying the Wooli's bag, you know, the Woolli's paper bag when he had allegedly been shopping after going to the dentist. And doesn't that paint a good picture? And he put out a missing person's alert. It was pretty funny actually, but I thought, well, where was he? Who is the liberal treasurer. Well, there's huge debt problems here and you never hear boo from a goose from them.
01:06:36
Speaker 2: Well, the only the best headline attacking the government's capacity to manage the economy came from the Order to General. Yes, yes, most recently that was that was a good damaging story from the opposition.
01:06:48
Speaker 3: Yes, was there a broader problem with that, We'll get rid of of a stamp duty story. And it almost it almost sounds like and the flimsiness of the detail provided with as to how it would work, and the questions was asking that morning where we couldn't really get a straight answers how much it was going to cost the budget. It almost sounds like in the private Tactics meeting, the conversation went, look, we're stuffed anyway, so let's just promise some really crazy stuff. It obviously sounded like an Australian Democrats policy.
01:07:17
Speaker 9: There is that feel about it in opposition that they're so far behind, then let's come up with some wacky ideas and throw them at the telegraph pole and see if any of them stick. Basically, I look across the border now in Victoria where you have this incredible situation where a popular opposition leader has been neck Brad Baton now he had just sent to Alan on the canvas as the Victorian labor premier over particularly over crime, and effectively forced her kicking and screaming to doing something about youth crime. Over there, they've necked him brutally and installed Jess Wilson as a new Liberal leader. Now, Brad Batton had I think almost a ten point lead on Jacinta Allen as preferred premier. That's an amazing feat for an opposition leader because generally, no matter how bad you are, incumbency gives you an advantage as a premier. And I think they were fifty one forty nine percent on two party pre ThReD basis, so they're actually ahead in the polls. But for the Liberal Party over there, that wasn't good enough. I noticed they spoke this morning to Steve Bras.
01:08:35
Speaker 2: This is in the.
01:08:37
Speaker 9: Australian.
01:08:38
Speaker 2: I thought this was really interesting.
01:08:40
Speaker 9: Jeff Kennet and Steve Bras, they both in interviews by The Australian, offered Wilson Jess Wilson the SAME's advice, be yourself and back yourself. Kennet says, you have to be her ches to be yourself, and the most important thing is you've got to have a sense of humor. You need a sense of humor in this game, and you must have the capacity to go to bed at night, go through things you might have done badly, understand how you're going to fix them tomorrow, and then get a good night's sleep. I'd say to anyone coming into this level, you've got no idea what the work requimed is until you're here. Secondly, you have to be yourself. Third you have to have a sense of humor, and lastly you've got to develop an internal system. And both Bras and Kennet had a sense of humor. Anthony Alberesi has a sense of humor. I mean he's got a nasty streak, as has Peter mal Nauskus when you push the wrong buttons. But they both have a sense of humor. There's Anthony Albernezi in his submarine cap talking about six to seven. You know that doesn't mean anything, just like the Susan Lee's policies, and you know, doing the mannerisms of six says seven having a bit of fun in the job, as does Peter mal Nauskus. I look at the opposition here and I think, well, first of all, most people don't know the names beyond Vincent Tarzia, and secondly, I see largely in their shadow ministers when they get up there a group of people who aren't terribly well groomed, bad haircuts. And I know I can't I know I can't talk.
01:10:05
Speaker 2: But you know you're not running for public office, mate, Send them all.
01:10:10
Speaker 9: Off to Ferris Trabulsi or something going. Forester is still in business.
01:10:15
Speaker 2: Oh, I think he's got the same way as well.
01:10:18
Speaker 19: Send them send them somewhere anyway, just is sharpen them up a bit. I mean, Vincent Tarzi is walking on the jetty yesterday announcing this policy, and he's there in a blue suit with a white shirt, and I'm.
01:10:29
Speaker 2: Thinking, you want a jenny.
01:10:31
Speaker 9: At least pretend you're going on.
01:10:32
Speaker 2: A walk on a jenny saying you can't govern your hair. You can't give myself Astralia, David.
01:10:37
Speaker 1: Penberthie and Will Gooding's five double a breakfast.
01:10:42
Speaker 2: Matt, all right, let's write some spin show we has collected yourselves?
01:10:49
Speaker 9: Yes, sorry, yes, let's write some spin now. First of all, this is Jess Wilson, who's the new Liberal leader and the Bob is back. She is going her hair hairdoo, and just into Allan's are the same. I don't really know what that means, but here she is a depress conference, both praising the person she just rolled, Brad Baton, but unable to explain if it was so good why he was rolled.
01:11:13
Speaker 20: Brad has done a terrific role and I thank him for his service. I thank him for his leadership, but more broadly for his service to Liberal Party over many, many years. And I know the Brad will have a key role going forward in the lead up to the next election he won.
01:11:26
Speaker 11: If it's not a terrific job, then why you're saying every day not wrapped up?
01:11:29
Speaker 15: The Liberal Party room has spoken.
01:11:31
Speaker 20: I'm humbled by their support.
01:11:34
Speaker 2: None of it. I don't know what they've said, but they've spoken. I've spoken.
01:11:39
Speaker 9: I just ended up. I'm not asking any questions. Jess Wilson gets a solid seven out of ten Matts now bringing this closer to home, and I don't want to embarrass you, David, but this is your interview benbo with Mayor of Mitcham fresh back from cop Heather Holmes Ross and I'm here answering.
01:12:05
Speaker 5: Your questions and I think that it's it's rude for you to be rude.
01:12:10
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way.
01:12:12
Speaker 1: No, I don't think you are.
01:12:13
Speaker 11: But thank you for the apology anyway, that's all right.
01:12:15
Speaker 2: Just one final question. Did you offset the trip? Because it's a pretty lengthy flight to Brazil?
01:12:20
Speaker 9: How do you mean did I offset it.
01:12:22
Speaker 2: For the carbon footprint?
01:12:25
Speaker 20: I don't I don't know.
01:12:26
Speaker 9: I don't understand what.
01:12:27
Speaker 2: When I don't know if you book the flights yourself, but when you book a flight, you can offset the carbon footprint for the trip. Did you do that? I don't know.
01:12:36
Speaker 9: I didn'took the flight.
01:12:38
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
01:12:43
Speaker 9: I didn't book flight.
01:12:44
Speaker 2: But you're just rude, being rude.
01:12:47
Speaker 9: I think we do agree though, that being rude is rude, and I would like to think your apology was sin here not what.
01:12:56
Speaker 14: She was right.
01:12:57
Speaker 2: I was being rude.
01:12:57
Speaker 9: You're going to go to sarcasmologists anonymous after this.
01:13:03
Speaker 3: It's not as r as going on some private jaunt of Brazilian expecting the public should pay for it.
01:13:10
Speaker 9: That's been But anyway, she doesn't know about offset points despite going to a big climate conference. Heather Holmes ross two out of ten matts.
01:13:23
Speaker 2: It's been offset the points. That's right. She can do that. See you next week.
01:13:29
Speaker 1: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five double A breakfast nine after eight.
01:13:35
Speaker 2: This time tomorrow we will be twenty minutes away potentially from giving away a house, not giving it away to be the subject of an option for Variety to say, but we are going to be broadcasting live from Mount Barker tomorrow morning. Emerald Way is where we'll be at the site of this, this charity house that's been put in here. This is a great story. Actually, thirty South Australian businesses and people have come together to build what is a two story house built in memory of Emily Belperio who lost her life at the age of just three years old. Her father, Joe is the owner and director of Emerald Way Mount Barker. He donated the land to get this project off the ground. It's a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It's a four bedroom, three bathroom, beautiful, open planned living house, double garage. You can see pictures of it by the way at Emeraldway Charity home dot com dot are you now. The thing about this that is truly unique is that this is a no reserve auction and every single cent goes to Variety SA. This is going to be one of the biggest actions you're ever going to hear It's going to happen live tomorrow morning, after eight thirty. We are going to be there, so we're gonna be right next to the auction as it's happening. We're going to be right next to as it's happening. Yet, the guy from the block, you're going to hear it as it's happening. That's right, Tom Panos, celebrity auctioneer extraordinaiy no reserve. So whatever the high bit is after eight thirty, that's how much money is going to Variety and that someone's getting a house. Let's not forget housing crisis. This is really at seven hundred and fifty Grand Mount Barr, a huge, growing, wonderful part of South.
01:15:02
Speaker 3: Australia, great lifestyle destination. Exactly right, tea change, want a tree change, It's the place to be. Come down and see it. What a great auction this will be. Someone gets a house and get a whole stack of money.
01:15:13
Speaker 2: It goes for a lot.
01:15:14
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, just for Variety's sake, the great work that they do for all of those needy kids and supporting their families. But yeah, let's see what it does end up going for. But looking at the pictures now on the live stream superb beautiful looking house. Well that's tomorrow morning on the programs. It makes you tune in. Well, we in Barker from six o'clock. Normally we have no trouble getting the Premiere to come on the show. He asked him if he could join us this morning to shed any light on what is happening with Coop, but his office explained that he's not available or just not does not want to come on to talk about it yet.
01:15:55
Speaker 2: I think you can read a fair bit into that.
01:15:57
Speaker 3: I think that the Premier would probably think it's for a national event such as this, that it's not his job to read the last rites to the conference being held here in South Australia. We are expecting that the Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi will at some stage today confirm what now looks like the world's worst kept secret, that cop will not be coming to Adelaide in any form. It raises some questions because so much time and so much effort has already been put into it, particularly in the area of policing. Hours and hours and hours of work has been done not just by Saphole but by police forces into state there's a huge hospitality component to this as well. I received the text earlier in the program from one prominent figure in the hospitality industry saying that this can be spun any way they like, but the loss of functions, conferences, weddings, conventions, etc.
01:16:58
Speaker 2: Is massive.
01:16:59
Speaker 3: The two biggest look newsers, of course, be the Convention Center and the Adelaide Oval. The Eastern States conference and convention venues will be very happy with our indulgent attempt.
01:17:09
Speaker 2: What does it mean to for the tax players?
01:17:11
Speaker 3: Well, as we said, we did ask the government on, we asked the Premiere on I'm sure we'll talk to him soon. But Ben Hood, the opposition spokesman for government accountability, is on the line now, Ben, how have I of worked for nought by the look of things, isn't it?
01:17:26
Speaker 7: Yeah?
01:17:26
Speaker 21: Well, good morning boys, always good through with you.
01:17:28
Speaker 2: It certainly is.
01:17:29
Speaker 21: I mean eight million bucks, thirty four cops exclusively on this job for however many months. So I think the question now to the Premier is how much of that eight million bucks has been spent? And really apologize to all your accommodation and hospitality venues that have essentially put everything on hold. In November next year and now won't be taking any bookings. Now accommodation should be able to be booked out. But if you think about those venues, those conference venues, they're in bigs strife and we had one of them contact us to said there'd be a million bucks down if COP didn't go ahead. So now the premier is really to let left holding the bag on this job, and he doesn't need to apologize those hospitality businesses. And what he should also do is we're writing an invoice to Albo right now for that eight million bucks, and if ourbo is going to pull out of COP, then he's got to cop the tap.
01:18:21
Speaker 3: Do you think Ben that there's a counter argument that you've got to be in it to win it, And I mean the opposition didn't have an in principal problem with the idea of hosting it here. It's been like the World Cup bid. You never know how it's going to play out. And if we hadn't put our hand up, we would never have been in the running for what would have been an economic opportunity.
01:18:40
Speaker 2: Whether you agree with the optics of these GAB tests.
01:18:42
Speaker 21: Or not, yeah, look it's a good argument, Pembo. You do have to be in these things to win it. But I think you know you made the point with Mattie just before that you know, at the end of the day, this is just a one off event. When you've got to live, golf, gather and other things, they sort of a perpetual event and generate that interest. But this is a one off event where we're going to see the elites flying in their private jets, hopefully offsetting somehow. Well maybe they actually know what off setting is, unlike the mayor that you had on before. But at the end of the day, you know, this government really is just now in spin mode. And I'd probably make the point if we could hook up the spin coming from the Premiere on this now, then we could probably power those turbines they're trying to flog off the sold energy crisis. You know, the Premier is telling us one point or three point one billion dollars of potential future events coming into the state. Yeah, well, if my grandfather had will was it'd be a bicycle. At the end of the day, that's not realized money. What we do know is that eight million bucks has been spent.
01:19:42
Speaker 13: How are we going to get that back?
01:19:43
Speaker 21: And really the Fed should be tipping in to make sure that again the taxpayers it's South Australia are on the hook for another flight of fancy.
01:19:51
Speaker 3: Ben Hood, the opposition spokesman for Government accountability, thank you for joining us.
01:19:57
Speaker 2: Immaculately groomed ben Hood, I should say which you wishould do some text police as the text line dieder four eight zero eight thirda ninety five.
01:20:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are many texts here. None of them are ruining the loss of cop either. There's a whole pile of people saying the same thing that they really wonder how much how much money has been spent the one year from alex and Scott Park saying well, look we've already committed eight million dollars to this bid. How much of that money are we going to get back?
01:20:31
Speaker 2: And and says I would rather Marlee work on events such as getting a Taylor Swift or an Oasis concert. Adelaide cop who cares Taylor Swift just minis what was it nine to it?
01:20:45
Speaker 3: I'm not sure you're the Taylor Swift guy, t Swizzle. I wonder if the government's over there paid any money to get Oasis.
01:20:53
Speaker 2: I doubt it. Like if Oasis you know no, only.
01:20:58
Speaker 3: Let bygones be by and decided to make billions of dollars doing a world too.
01:21:02
Speaker 2: They just automatically go in. I think one of the benefits of Sydney and being Sydney in Melbourne is you probably don't have to Yeah, yeah, they can do two or three concerts there and they're laughing.
01:21:10
Speaker 1: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double a Breakfast twenty three minutes to nine.
01:21:16
Speaker 2: There's been a resolution to this morning to Adelaide's own version of this and.
01:21:23
Speaker 9: The Academy Award for Best Picture.
01:21:25
Speaker 5: Lala land.
01:21:29
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, no mistake, there's a mistake Moonlight. You guys won Best Picture. I want this is not a joke. This is not a joke. I'm afraid they read the wrong thing. Oh dear Moonlight and La La Land at at the Oscars getting it wrong. Well. There was a similar issue with the Australia Day Council of South Australia announcing the winner of Senior Australian of the Year. Have a listen.
01:21:56
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty six Senior South Australian of the for South Australia is Malcolm Benny.
01:22:03
Speaker 22: Just hold that thought for just a moment. There's been a controversy. The wrong winner was in the envelope and we do apologize for that. The twenty twenty six a Senior Australian of the Year is in fact James. Is it James, It is James, James Curry, James Curry.
01:22:23
Speaker 5: We had it right all the way along. I don't know what has transpired behind the scenes, but incorrect information. It is Malcolm Van I'm terribly sorry for the embarrassment.
01:22:31
Speaker 2: So just to catch you up there, that was the Senior Australian of the Year award for South Australia. Australia Council of South Australia administering the whole thing. Initially Malcolm Benoy was announced as a winner. It was then corrected to James Curry. Then subsequently the organizer conversation said, oh no, it was right in the first place. It was Malcolm Benoy. Well here we are now a number of days later and a statement has been issued by the Australia a Council of South Australia and it turns out that too is wrong. They are now delighted to announce that both the sound engineer and pioneer of South Australian film, James Curry and Malcolm Benoy are twenty twenty six Senior Australian of the Year for South Australia. They were joint winners. The statement says following voting by South Australian Selection Panel, mister Curry mister Benoy were tied in first place. The panel resolved in outcome and an administrative era by the Australia a Council meant the results of the meeting were inaccurately recorded. Unfortunately, the era was not identified prior to the presentation evening. On the evening, at different times, both mister Benoy and mister Curry were announced as the recipient. The South Australian Selection Panel reconvened following the announcement and unanimously agreed that both mister Curry and mister Benoy be selected as Senior Australian of the Year for South Australia.
01:23:53
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say I feel really, really sorry for the two voices that you heard there that we were playing. The lovely Sonya Feldhoff, who has been a mainstay of ABC Radio for many years in this town. So she was doing the presentations with her her fellow presenter, and it got to run on the TVs over the weekend. So these two poor buggers.
01:24:14
Speaker 2: Are up there on stage with all of these envelopes in front of them, one host the awards with all the wrong names in them, and people were going, oh, look look at these two clutter as. They don't know what they're doing. Well, none of it was their fault, clearly, like how you just want the ground to swallow you up, but clearly nothing within the organization you either. So it was what about the two guys as well, like it's so embarrassing for them, I feel, well, let's give them their two incredible people who have made a wonderful contribution. But the difference with the Oscar one was read out incorrectly, and it was one mistake that was a mistake. Three times they read out the winner, they corrected it wrongly, and then the organizer came up and said, no, we got it right the first time and that that was also wrong. They both maybe they're trying to take their queue from the Modbury Basketball Association. They think that everybody should win. Maybe they're both too good, and they thought it's not fair. We don't want to have the best. There's a rightful Scenior Australian that's going to embarrass everybody at the same time. But anyway, congratulations to James Curry and Malcolm Benoy joint Senior South Australian of the Year. Deserve a joint winners.
01:25:21
Speaker 13: Well.
01:25:22
Speaker 3: As we said in Breaking at eight, we are waiting official confirmation that cop is not going to be going ahead. We've been covering it all morning and no one has rung us up to say no, no, no, wait and see. It sounds like it is a dead duck. Anna mola is, the CEO of the Australian Hotels Association, do a great job representing all of the pubs and clubs and restaurants and so forth around town.
01:25:43
Speaker 2: We've got Anna on the line and a good morning thanks for joining us.
01:25:47
Speaker 3: This must be a pretty difficult situation for people running hospitality businesses.
01:25:52
Speaker 2: I'd imagine some of the bigger ones too.
01:25:53
Speaker 3: You think things like the Convention Center to direct hit for them, but there must be a lot of other hotels venues that would have basically blocked out next November expecting to be at one hundred percent capacity.
01:26:07
Speaker 4: Well, given the couple of debacles you've just talked about. There might be a long way to run with this. We don't know whether we've got cop or not. But yeah, look, look there were a lot of places where there are a lot of places that have got placeholders in. That's not unusual, those places would have waiting lists. But I think I think it's fair to say that just being in the game and getting to the point where we were an actual contender and at the worst kind of runner up has been really good for the state and certainly great in terms of the number of inquiries and things that we've had at business events, Adelaide level and the convention Center. So in a way it's a bit of a long game. We almost have won.
01:26:53
Speaker 7: Anyway, just be clear on.
01:26:56
Speaker 2: That, because I think the opposition and so how Theustralia is saying that this is a huge lost to the industry. What's what's better from your perspective, Anna, that we try and get events that require the industry to put placeholders in that may or may not realize, or that we avoid that all together and just don't get the events, but also don't create the uncertainty. What's preferable.
01:27:17
Speaker 4: Oh, look, I think I think you've got to you've got to be playing the game to have a chance of winning. And you know, there's this great saying that is the audacity of hope. And I think the audacity of hope gave us, Katie Perry. The audacity of hope gave us things like lib golf and gather around. So yeah, look, you know you've got to do your due diligence and you know, assess the risk and that that kind of thing. But yeah, absolutely, I think we've got to try for these things.
01:27:47
Speaker 9: We are now seeing.
01:27:48
Speaker 4: South Australia is seen quite differently now than we were seen five years ago. You know, I'm getting cabs when I'm in other states and you know, so many times the DRAVA says where are you from? And I tell them and they say, wow, You're so lucky. You know, it's a great place. So we feel different here. I think we see ourselves differently here, but most importantly, other people from other places are seeing us differently. So yeah, to be in contention the profile that that gives us on the world stage, I think it's hard to quantify the value in that.
01:28:26
Speaker 2: Do you think Anna that I mean, you know, we're still twelve months away from next November. Is there a chance that we could identify other events between now and then that could help. I mean, nothing's going to replicate the bookings that would have come as a result of Copper was going to be standing room only, But is there a chance for us to find a few things that could actually kick some the hospitality energy into November twenty six?
01:28:49
Speaker 1: Oh?
01:28:49
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean the positive thing is that we have like quite a long lead time and we're actually seeing a trend recently whereby people are booking things closer to the destination time. So so yeah, Like and as I said, these places it's.
01:29:07
Speaker 5: Not their first rodeo.
01:29:08
Speaker 4: You know, they put places holders in, but they also they do have a plan B for themselves. They have waiting lists. And I'm sure once we actually know for sure what's going on with COP, you know, the wheels will be in motion immediately. And you know, for those that are genuinely in strass as a result of this, if we don't get COP, I'm sure there'll be conversations that go on, you know, behind closed doors about what can be done.
01:29:35
Speaker 3: Absolutely well, hopefully that is the way ahead. Adam Olo is the CEO of the AHA always great to catch up out to thank you.
01:29:42
Speaker 11: Thank you.
01:29:43
Speaker 2: We got the good news earlier in the week that Bedford Industries would continue that provider will take over the site, so that was the good news componed with the story, and then as the detail came out, we realized that there will be losers. On Monday, some suppliers received a letter from a nicol who are managing the administration process that any debts incurred before the seventeenth vone in November, we're not payable by the administrators and would then be treated as unsecured claims against Bedford with any payment. This is a quote dependent on the outcome of the administration. So what does that mean for people like our next guest, Tim Chatzoppolos from Tim Peaker Wholesalers. Tim, good morning to you, Good morning.
01:30:25
Speaker 11: How are you?
01:30:25
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, Tim, have you got a large amount outstanding? And what are your hopes that you'll be able to recover all or any of that money?
01:30:33
Speaker 11: I believe we have no hope. Basically, they basically when the government pumped in the fifteen million dollars July, we were advised at the time that all credits will be paid and that's what the money was for. I've got so much email correspondence, text messages saying we're just waiting for the money to clear for mcgrund Nickel. You repaid and then when basically they kept buying time and then as time was passing, they offered me a payment plan which I agreed to, which was around September. Didn't make a single payment. Then the ladies, discreetly they was looking after the account, said oh, look, if you get a lawyer involved, CFO will probably fast track that you get paid. I've got a lawyer involved, paid more money, and then basically she brought more time and then on Friday was supposed to be the first payment, and basically then she rings me up said I look, we froze the accounts, but the good news is we've sold Bedford and you're going to get paid in full. She still said that to me Monday morning, and then I get a letter from a Grand Nickel and pretty much it's almost like a liquidation letder.
01:31:34
Speaker 2: Basically we're going to be left with mar So Tim, you guys provide food, is that right?
01:31:38
Speaker 7: Yeah?
01:31:39
Speaker 2: Correct? And how up until how recently you've been providing those food services?
01:31:43
Speaker 11: So we're looking after the Cultivate site, which you know, which closed closed down in June. So look at that time we were like, all right, if it goes into liquidation, look that's the risk we take as a food service business. But then when you know, when the government bailed the money out, I have text message straightaway saying, hey, Tim, fantastic news. You're going to get paid for. We're just wade for the Grand Nickel to release the money. And it's been lie after lie after lie. It's just it's I'm just a small family business. I've got a young family. It just straining to heal the lies and to watch Pittter Malnascers like look like a superstar on the TV when all the creditors did not get paid.
01:32:24
Speaker 2: So Tim remind us exactly how much money are you owed?
01:32:29
Speaker 11: Close to sixty thousand dollars.
01:32:30
Speaker 2: Sixty thousand dollars, My god, man, that's so much money.
01:32:34
Speaker 11: One hundred percent, and it's damaging to my business and you know, to you know, and I've just been fighting, you know, day and night this past week, you know, for Peter manaskers to reach out and say, look, you know, I just want an answer, right the question I guess me and the media are asking, and that's why the media has been in contact me. When did the fifteen million dollars go? You know the goal that's our tax paying money. We're already paid taxing us. Where did the fifteen million dollars go? Because no one knows.
01:33:04
Speaker 3: Well, maybe maybe they were trying to keep the banks at bay by paying off the direct debt that Bedford had to them.
01:33:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.
01:33:13
Speaker 3: I'm just speculating, but there's something crook about the way these credited situations work, where it's off in little businesses like you that end up being pushed right down to the bottom of the queue or left off the queue entirely.
01:33:25
Speaker 11: One hundred percent. This was I'll be honest, this is I could just see. I mean, and I've got all emails to show this was pre this was precess. I mean whatever they did to cover whatever they whatever that's had to cover, and they've just been buying time like that's and I've spoken to a couple other credits they've been fed the same stories. Look, we're just waiting for the funds another week, and they've just been buying time to get it to this, get it to administration and then we get nothing because pretty much the last letter from McGraw nicol basically says in point blame, pretty much're going to get nothing. And then i've heard rumors from yesterday the advert advertiser advised me. But now McGrath nickel might get pulled from being the administrators because it's a bit of a conflict of interest because have done previous business together. There's a lot of dodgy stuff going on.
01:34:11
Speaker 2: How many other people are you in your situation that you've spoken to Tim?
01:34:15
Speaker 11: So there's a gentleman lets he the pizza bases. He's his family business out of Sydney, so he's suppliedhim some pizza bases. So I know he's twenty seven thousand dollars. They are in twenty seven thousand. And then I know there was a because my love put a post on social media and I know there was a small business that did an event for him. I think that they set up an event for him and it was a couple of invoices and you know they were never paid. But look, it's just all the lies, right, it's all the lies. We've just been lied to from go to way and it's just it's you know, it's demoralizing what was been.
01:34:50
Speaker 2: For doing with the food that you were that you were supplying them with.
01:34:55
Speaker 11: So what they were doing is basically the disabled people were based. So I think there was a couple of guys running it, and then the same people would make would make food and on sellar to food Land. So apparently the cultivate side of their business was quite profitable. But I guess overall, you know where are here was an absolutely shit.
01:35:10
Speaker 2: Show got dragged down with the rest of it.
01:35:12
Speaker 11: Yeah, yea, because that just built that build a brand new site. They were doing a new cultivate sordery, like a state of the art, brand new site. They're gonna have a second sight. And then I guess when everything hid in July, in June or July, basically they can that as well.
01:35:27
Speaker 3: It sounds like they expanding all sorts of stuff that they couldn't actually afford and didn't do their due.
01:35:31
Speaker 2: Diligence on it.
01:35:33
Speaker 3: Tim, just finally, have you have you tried to have any direct contact with the state government? Have you heard anything from them?
01:35:39
Speaker 17: All?
01:35:39
Speaker 5: Right?
01:35:39
Speaker 11: Not from Peter Manahaska's I've ranged it, I've rang everyone, I've spoken to your position leader. I've rang everyone, right, I've rang everyone. I'm going to do everything in my power. Like I said, it's got a young family. I'm just I'm just a small fish to try and get this money right, so I just got to keep pushing.
01:35:56
Speaker 2: Well, we can't promise anything, but we talked them all the time, so we we'll raise this. We'll raise this with him, and you know, I think he will. You know, if he's listening to this interview now, he's not going to be feeling proud about the way it's played out. So I think I think, you know, let's let's see if something can come of this public scrutiny that it's getting. And good on you for popping your head up, mate and going public on it, because if you don't make any noise, you generally get nothing. So we'll stay in touch. Tim tim Chatzoppolos from tim Peeka Wholesalers, we will be certainly staying in touch for any development. Hopefully positive on that front.
01:36:34
Speaker 1: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double a Breakfast.
01:36:38
Speaker 2: Four to nine. I tell you what, it's been a barnstorming start for the rumor file. We confirmed earlier today the case of the junior basketball team that was simply too good to play finals kicked out of the competition to make with a parrot this morning, but the organizing body confirmed that it was a decision that they took as well. We spoke about that a little bit earlier. Matthew Clark yesterday coma Bays as a as the head coach of the Bays. That was last week's rumor file. Make sure, if you've got a room map, you break the news here on five double a break which he can be totally anonymous. We've got we've had some terrific at well, there's one that may well still come to pass about Flinder's private being purpurchased by the state government. Feels behind the scenes that one might have some legs. What did Tom Kirks and turn say? Interesting? Interesting? Interesting? So the rum file next week, next next Wednesday. Make sure you're listening, because who knows you can hear tomorrow's news during the rumor file, and in the process when yourself a magnificent prize of those thorn Gate wines as well. Oh I love those wines. Just quickly.
01:37:38
Speaker 3: Vincentazia better be hoping that for liberal leaders bad luck doesn't come in threes, because it's now being reported by The Australian that New South Wales Liberal leader Mark Speakman is set to face a challenge to his leadership today from Adelaide's own Kelly Slane. Wow, first South Australian ever to lead the Liberal Party in New South Wales.
01:37:57
Speaker 2: It's a story. It's a story for essay, s Vince. It will be saved by the calendar, won't he. Yeah, and the lack of will yeah. And look, if you're Ashton her, you know why on earth would you do it now? Why would Why would you risk being stamped a loser? I would almost say any inevitable loser you're going to lose. The argument would be because if you want to do it to the leader of a party with five seats or with with eleven, well yes, but what if she ends up leading it to the five seat win, well then that was your That's your future inevitably then, isn't it. Yeah? No, I don't think anything. I don't think it's gonna happen. You couldn't do it now, no one's paying attention to politics over Christmas and then you've got an election camp. But you can't teach someone who a new candidate is. During the election campaign.
01:38:47
Speaker 3: One senior liberal source just texted me saying a C. T. Libs have already rolled their leader, So that's three.

He's going to come on the program after six thirty today. What will the name of the new Boring Machines be?

David Pennburthy, good morning.
00:01:31
Speaker 3: To you, Good morning listeners, Good morning will Jack Knis makes bats and bats and bats. That should be a slogan inspired by the famous Bradman.
00:01:38
Speaker 2: Headline and bats and bats.
00:01:40
Speaker 3: If you did it in the same typeface, was it the Sun the Melbourne Son. I can't remember who came up with a famous headline, but Bradman bats and bats and bats when he made his three hundred plus knock. Are you someone who can remember cricket scores like you know, like if I said, what was no Ricky Ponting's high score? I was not amazing. I've got mates when I was twelve, maybe I would have remembered all that kind of stuff.
00:02:10
Speaker 2: It's a real thing.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: It's like guys can there's some guys they're like walking wisdoms and they can say what about Laxman and Drava when they made that opening stand of blank at the Adelaide Oval whatever?
00:02:23
Speaker 2: Any can do it, but you put in the test. Imagine if jay r rang Up I was just wondering if you'd be able to fix my bat So, Yes, yes, Joe, I can fix you mean leave it with me, here you go. He'll never play better.
00:02:40
Speaker 3: That's everything abused to be in order handle safely glued back onto the blade.
00:02:46
Speaker 2: So cop is cop cooked, feels like it's dead. Phil Curry's story in the find Reviewers that I certainly said yes to that the federal government were, how do we phrase this? Looking at ways to leverage a losing bid into something for the Pacific region. What's that mean they want? There's apparently there's a leader's summit that wouldn't be held in Adelaide by the way that they that the Albanezy team are trying to say, look all right, if we're all right, if we miss out we'll be we'll be magnanimous about it.
00:03:17
Speaker 3: But you know what I find stunning. I find it stunning given the amazing leadership shown by the mayors of Onkaperringer, Mitcham and Adelaide, with the utter gravitas and and star power that the three girls from Ipanema brought to that enterprise, how on earth has this not worked? I thought that was the whole reason that more Aware.
00:03:39
Speaker 2: And Dr.
00:03:42
Speaker 3: Dr Ross, Doctor Dr Ross and how the homes.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: That was why they were going there, wasn't it well? I thought about they had to go for it the only reason it can be. And I think the clue was in when we spoke with Doc with Heather Holmes Ross, when the message was received that you're doing such a good job there. I suspect what's happened here is the COP Summit has thought there's nothing to be gained. These guys are nailing it so well that we might as well go to somewhere that's more in need.
00:04:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, have you seen Rob's decks? You missed your calling Rob, He says, we missed out on COP. I wish I wasn't editor Cop that well, that's like hanging for it. Then he says, Turkish delights, that's a good one. Cop out, this is a good one. We've been given the thumb burg and so many trees going unhugged.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: I do love this whole business of well you, you and Turkey need to work it out, you know, you do, just sort it out between yourselves. We both want it. It reminds me that do you remember that sein Field episode, give it out?
00:04:52
Speaker 3: Give it our given our long history of sort of things out peacefully.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: That's been one hundred years. We're good, that's true. Forgive give me that side Field episode where Newman is sitting as judge and a Lane and Kramer are trying to work out who has ownership of a bike. Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And in the end, Newman's judgment is we'll cut the bike in half, and A Kramer says, look, I'd rather Alane get it than see the bike ruined. And then Newman comes back says at the end, well, only the bike's true owner would rather see it intact than come to harm. That's what this whole process feels like to me. Do you want the cop? Do you want the half cop? Which part of the little cop do you want? If you guys can't work it out. Germany gets it. Hey, it's going to be.
00:05:41
Speaker 3: Is there a danger now that it's going to be in a global sense? Pretty pathetic, but still large enough to annoy everyone in South Australia.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: No, I don't think. I don't think there'll be anything here. Oh really no, No, this comp the version that Anthony Albin easy as people have sounded out, would not being adelaide as I understand it. Where would it have been then somewhere in the Pacific Islands. Oh really, Yeah, he's trying to do it. He's doing solid for the region.
00:06:09
Speaker 3: So in addition to getting a rugby league team, that might get cop in Port Moresby quite possibly.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: That's right, Hey, we're.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: Going to do hospitality and safety might be an issue there, just saying that by way of massive understatement, we get hacked to death by one of the local rascals, you might want to stayed somewhere else.
00:06:26
Speaker 2: But maybe that's the kind of gentle encouragement to stay in line that you know, the good people of Antifa need. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, this is not your average police force. Here might be a form of justice you're not used to. Yeah, a bit more rough than usual handling. We've got a double pass to see Music of the Night DA of a Way tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber and the West End Musicals at Her Majesty's Theater Sunday, November thirty at two pm. You get tickets from ticket Tech. The AFL draft was on last night. We're to talk about the fallout from that with Tom Ren very very shortly, but got us wondering, what would you be the number one pick for?
00:07:01
Speaker 4: What?
00:07:01
Speaker 2: In what circumstance would you be the number one pick? Folks? Let us know it could be you going to Music of the Night eight double two three double O double o is the number or textus on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five? What would you be? What? For? What draft? Of What would you be the number one pick for? What's that? Because I do it all the time.
00:07:21
Speaker 3: Whenever there's numbers that have to be read about, like interest rates and stuff like that, I would say, what's what's this? What's going to happen?
00:07:27
Speaker 2: Now? You good? What the stuff that COSI does? The stuff that I don't understand. The dismal science will if you will hear that it is called the dismal dismal science. Some people say economics, it's not science at all. We know it's an argument, that's it's more of a social it's more of a social science. Vibes thing, animal spirit, animal spirit. Put you the number one pick for.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: I suppose you need someone to talk in terminal crap about Mexico. I'd come in Andy about I want to talk about, you know, the origins of Cinco de Mayo, or you know how's apart and.
00:08:09
Speaker 2: Via or essentially setting into different revolutions? What about the what about the cross examination of the travel habits of local government? That all right? Didn't seven? Eight alfter six? What would you be the number one pick for? Eight double two three double a double? Oh? Could be you going to Music of the Night, the Andrew Lloyd Webber Spectacular, David.
00:08:29
Speaker 1: Penberbe and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast twenty.
00:08:33
Speaker 2: One after six, Tom Ren with the draft fallout in just a few moments of time. We're asking you, though, in a draft of your entire creation, what would you be the number one pick for eight double two to three double oh double? I We've got the tickets to Andrew Lloyd Webber to give away Quintin in old Ronella, good morning. What would you be the number one draft pick for Quentin? Oh?
00:08:55
Speaker 5: Do you want to have a given? Obviously number one son supporter, But look, I'll just blow your own trumpet. I'll go cook in my house, stepfather, husband, all of you.
00:09:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, fair enough, fair enough? Are you shame and blowing your own trumpet? Because no one's going to blow it for you.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: They're all good things to be the number one draft pick for Let's go to clear view, Rob, When would you get picked first?
00:09:26
Speaker 6: Oh?
00:09:26
Speaker 7: Look I want to them for number one mate, But because of father's son pick swaps, I'm down to bloody twenty two.
00:09:35
Speaker 2: You're the first live selection they Rob?
00:09:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably, but yeah, it's just shameful.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was ridiculous, wasn't it last night? For a distorted thing? Reny will take us through that very short. It's some text coming through on the text line as well. Is it before zero eight thirty ninety five?
00:09:50
Speaker 3: Well, there might be some radio stations where people are sobbing into their child arte about the fact that Adelaide's not going to get.
00:09:56
Speaker 2: The cop five double A eight one of them looking at the text. It's almost party time.
00:10:02
Speaker 3: People seem extremely happy, although Philby and North Adelaide raises a cautionary note, says local mayors might be happy with this could mean they get to have to go overseas yet again and another COP because I have to go away.
00:10:17
Speaker 2: No COP here, that's right. We would have saved a fortune in local government costs if we'd had it here.
00:10:24
Speaker 3: Imagine if we found out that when COP was held in Adelaide the traffic was so bad that the mayors of Onkapringer and Richmond decided not to go.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: That would have been a great time, not.
00:10:33
Speaker 3: Going all the way in along Blair Road going to get caught in that damn traffic.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: I just waited to look in Brazil again. Do we get a refund though, on what on their trips? I mean, given that we haven't gone ah oh no, no, no, no no. That was a big part of it.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: When the Lord Mayor came on, she says, a private think tank. She was funded independently funded.
00:10:55
Speaker 2: The others were funded by the l g A.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: But the argument used by the Lord Mayor at the time was that was essential that they were there ahead of COP.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Well where's COP. I'm sure they got no here? No, no, no, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. The Lord Mayor also got inspired to close city streets. That's true being in Rio de Janeiro, so it wasn't a total that's true, fruitless endeavor. I did you've picked up.
00:11:19
Speaker 3: Any urban planning ideas from Rio? I've been to Rio. They sell stickers that you can put on the windscreen that say, please don't rob me. I've already been robbed.
00:11:29
Speaker 2: Today they do well, maybe we could get them. See ten point five degrees outside at the moment, it feels cooler than that. It feels like eight point nine. Are heading for a top Today of twenty one partly cloudy, no rain, But things change, Things change over the course of the next few days. Tomorrow twenty five, Saturday twenty five up to seven millimeters of rain, but twenty five Sunday thirty no rain, Monday thirty one essentially no rain. Then Tuesday drops down to twenty four drizzly, Wednesday twenty drizzly. So there's no sustained pattern of warmth in our near future, but at very least there's a little bit of warmth there, which is nice. There's a three, there is a three, there's two threes, Sunday and Monday eight double two three double O double Oh was our number. If you want to tell us the thing, you'd be the number one draft pick for I for you more ticks coming through. Someone by seven o'clock this morning is going to get the tickets to see the Andrew Lloyd Webber Spectacle. Double Music of the Night.
00:12:29
Speaker 3: Here we go, Guy and Highgate. This is a taste for what's coming through. Good morning, lads, Good riddance to cop our game. If someone else has lost, they can have it.
00:12:38
Speaker 2: Thank you.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: Guy Rick says the Cop has given in bow and an elbow a chance to deflect from our power price increases. Now his big drama with the States is over health.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: I don't know if it has. It doesn't have the opposite effect, does it. Every time it comes up, it reminds everyone of our power prices. I don't think it allows anyone to do flip from anything. In fact, it was worse in the Eastern States, at very least here in Adelaide. The idea was the Eastern stuff. The rest of the country is going to spend billions of dollars to host an event that will only benefit Adelaide economically, right and people are here in Adelaide don't like it. How popular do you think it is in Sydney and Melbourne? Well, I think this is one of the reasons Alboy looks like a hero for walking away from it, I think, and this is one of the reasons. The external cop in so much that I'm comparing a mitch and the reason is cop the whole, the whole vibe of it. It almost looks like gather around for people who have made an art form of living off the public purse. Do you think, yeah, But the argument for it is that all those countries public purses are suddenly going to be expended. In Adelaide, that was it.
00:13:46
Speaker 3: We'll take this, yeah money, that's right, that was it will take we will take your stinking money. You put it best when the story first break, saying, you know, let a thousand.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: Come here and talk about selling daffodils. You can. I don't care on the money.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: Checks, although I did, I did. I think I asked you on air at the time. Okay, at what point do you draw the line?
00:14:07
Speaker 2: You know?
00:14:08
Speaker 3: It was like the Paraguayan city side the list there the start of two thousand and one. Apparently that city is the loosest joint on Earth. They held an Al Kayeda conference. I would draw the line at terrorist organizations.
00:14:22
Speaker 2: Okay everyone, but I'd have thirty one next door to when international weapons conference or a coal mining conference. I don't care. Stevens loved that idea. They all book hotel rooms and buy meals. I couldn't give us stuff other.
00:14:34
Speaker 3: Than that Jon Kippul next to the Palestinian bookshop there on Ut Street.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: This is it a lot of time. This is were we can. We can do multiple teams at once. We're a three dimensional society. It's in the five double a breakfast studio with us be the first to test drive the all new Mitsuhias in Augustine and Mitsubushi nils Worth in Wilson Lakes. Morning, you're ready morning, boys.
00:14:54
Speaker 8: Afield draft last night, so we had twenty five selections. It's all a bit you spoke to only be eighteen. But because of the father sons, the academies, the drafts pretty funny, isn't It's pretty compromised the way it all happens. But seven South Australians went, which was great. Pick twenty two yeah, yeah, it was fantastic. Now, if you talk to a lot of recruiters and people out there, they say this draft is not as deep or as talented as say next year's is going to be or the one that we've just had two months ago. There is, and look that may well be true, but you know some players developed later you never fully know. It's a We've spoken about this a lot. It's a five ten year exercise, but seven South Australians are right. Will is an outstanding achievement and not surprisingly, pick number one went to a man who's soon We've heard a lot in the AFL already. Willem Dursmer great pick one.
00:15:46
Speaker 9: The West Coast Eagles select Willem at Dursmar from m ghipslam Power and the.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: Fastt TWNA you have.
00:15:58
Speaker 8: He is some so yeah, he's Xavierdersman's brother, Zaane Dursman's brother Yasmin so yes, he's three siblings will play in the AFL or aflw Sole family think he's probably going to be the pick of the lot, at least if you're going by talent. The Crows, they're the only team that had to pick last night at the two ESA Clubsport don't have one until later on. They went with Mitch Marsh, who was one of those South Australians. He's a forward from West Adelaide, so I think they were pretty keen on him. I think they were pretty keen on Dice and Sharp, but they missed out on him. He's a midfielder, so they ended up with Mitch Marsh. Good luck to them all. I hope they go well. And then the Adelaie thirty six has played last night outstanding win again coming from behind to win by twelve points. They go to ten and three so they're second on the table. Another great crowd. They're flying. Bryce Cotton thirty one points. Tomorrow will do a full Ashes preview as we get sat in the first Test, so looking forward to that.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: Bring it on of times A start one pm.
00:17:01
Speaker 8: It's a bit later because we're in Perth year.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: That's good two and a half out just before. I don't want to steal from your preview or any but right now, what's your confidence level and going to the first Test? If you're added ten ten being week we can lose zero being we can't win four? Eh? Interesting? All right, let's not expand on it because I'm I'm kind of with you a little bit we'll talk about it tomorrow. That's going to be really interesting, all right, Good on, David.
00:17:28
Speaker 1: Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.
00:17:33
Speaker 2: Twenty two minutes to seven. SA Police and Emergency Services are at the scene of a crash at Potter Court at Evanston Gardens. Police and Energy Services were called to the scene about an hour and a half ago and arrive to find a car had crashed onto the rail corridor on the Galla Line. One person's been treated by SA Ambulance Cruise MFS crews are working to remove the vehicle. I wonder if that's causing an issue for trains then on the caller line that we just got that from.
00:17:59
Speaker 10: So so, speaking of Staypole, how many hours would they have spent already planning for cop How many like hookups would there have been with every commissioner in the country because we're going to have to bring in hundreds of.
00:18:13
Speaker 3: Police from elsewhere. It was it was a huge national effort. So much time has gone into it, so much money has been spent on it.
00:18:24
Speaker 2: You would think the other thing if any of.
00:18:26
Speaker 3: Our listeners, have you got kids who are going to get married next year or like who've been told no, look, sorry, we can't use the hotel then, because all the hotels have been waiting for these mass bookings. So now I would say, if you want to book a room anywhere in Adelaide November.
00:18:45
Speaker 2: Twenty twe a good discount rates.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, jump on Airbnb or booking dot com and see what you can find because there will be plenty of plenty of rooms up for grabs.
00:18:55
Speaker 2: Maybe they should request an early test match next year. Yeah, that's a good idea. Make it the first test in November. Yeah, Phillips, the first two tests will be in Adelaide. That a couple of tests BP Grand Final Race. Yeah, that might be the way to do it. We do have a test that's starting not in Adelaide but Perth tomorrow. And I love this story we had on seven News last night with our next guest, Jack Conness, from who we founded Jake k Cricket. That is his business in his home making cricket bats. Well, there'll be a couple of bats to doing in the ashes tomorrow. Jack's passion project becoming looks like a pretty wonderful career. Jack, good morning to.
00:19:36
Speaker 6: You, David Will thank you very much for having me.
00:19:39
Speaker 2: What did you make your first bat? Jack?
00:19:41
Speaker 6: Oh, mate, I would have been seventeen or eighteen. I reckon just out of kind of a part made cless that I found in Perth and got that admittedly to pay for it at the time to bring it over and just kind of yeah, packed away a little bit too fair with some old tools and I was repairing bats at the time. But that was a good experience back then, so it.
00:20:06
Speaker 3: Must be quite a unique art form. Jack people make guitars like doing them from scratch. What's the difference between a handmade bat and the kind of one you pick up at rebel Sport.
00:20:20
Speaker 6: I guess it's an interesting industry because even a lot of the bats that are kind of sourced from India are still handmade a lot of the time, just in larger factories at larger scales. And I guess Australia's got a pretty cool history with cricket bat making. There was a guy who used to make bats in the Brossel Valley called Filky Cricket used to actually saw some kind of trees from the May River and a few other places. So we've actually got quite a proud history with batmaking and what it looks like, so kind of a part of that, it's been, yeah, fantastic.
00:20:54
Speaker 2: So what sort of tivioty you use?
00:20:57
Speaker 6: So we use English willow? So will there's lots of other Yeah, lots of other kind of willow out there, but it's been kind of bound to yea be the best over time and yeah, being used for over one hundred years now, so yeah, this tree is absolutely there.
00:21:14
Speaker 2: So how does it work? Who's going to be using your bat in the test tomorrow? And have you had thats used at the test matches for Seenior Cricket before?
00:21:24
Speaker 6: Oh no, absolutely not so like yeah, potentially Jake and Brendan Doggett, So yeah, Jake Waller and Brendan Doggett been people I've worked with over the past kind of last few years, and yeah, it's been fantastic to work with them, to be fair, and potentially see kind of the brands on TV maybe at that high level will be Yeah, something I'm certainly proud of for sure.
00:21:48
Speaker 2: And do you play as well? Jack?
00:21:50
Speaker 3: Did you get into it through playing or is it more just a sort of craftsman side of it that appealed to you?
00:21:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I was, I was, I was an Adelaide high boy and we have quite a cricket program. Went through that and I was always that kid who was you know, could put on a grip really quickly, and I think one of our coaches kind of identified me as a cricket back group guy. So from there I kind of yeah, just yeah, gave a bit of a crack on a few mates bats and then I'm by local club Kensington, but part of a year. About two years later, two years ago, I kind of decided to quick cricket and I was pretty dusty out of the workshop on Saturday's rocking up later games and stuff, so I thought, let's just, yeah, potentially get my cricket fixed by making him and stuff.
00:22:38
Speaker 3: So now that you mentioned it, I've got three sons and we're going about nineteen crappy old bats going around in the Backyut.
00:22:46
Speaker 2: How do you put on a cricket group?
00:22:50
Speaker 6: Oh mate, I've seen many people do it, and the old group cone certainly gets to work out in my workshop. But yeah, there's a little bit of an art. I think once, once you see someone do it, you kind of roll it up one way and then the other way and chuck it on. There is a little bit of warming up to do with the rubber, but once you get that sorted, it's all pretty sweet. So I'm sure you picked it up pretty quickly.
00:23:13
Speaker 11: Mate.
00:23:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey Jack, how did it come to pass that one day Joe Route came to your workshop needing a bat repaired?
00:23:21
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that was actually interesting enough.
00:23:24
Speaker 11: Like Jake.
00:23:26
Speaker 6: Was just messaged me because he kind of knew Travis Head at the time and he, yeah, knew I fixed krickerbats. So it's kind of actually through Jake who gave me a call in twenty twenty two. And yeah, that was a pretty cool experience, I guess having Yeah, Joe just kind of roll into the workshop. He's a really nice fellaw as well, was really respectful and kind of came through and showed me his bats to take a little bit of weight off. So it was a lot of adjustment work that I did just to make sure they kind of felt quite balanced for him. So yeah, typically a player will hold anywhere between kind of six to twelve bats in their kit bag for a series, so I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to kind of adjust five of them at the time and then kind of drop them off to the hotel and see how they goes so amazing.
00:24:14
Speaker 2: I understand you too, what you work as an OT Jack, How close to you to being able to be a full time cricket bat make and repair?
00:24:22
Speaker 6: Oh mate, yeah, it's it's certainly one of those things. Love love being OT. I'm very lucky to be able to do two things I really love. But yeah, I guess when you've when you've kind of lived and breathed a brand and a love passion for such a long time, there's a big paul and a big push for me to continue to pursue this. And yeah, it's something I'd love to be able to do full time one day and continue to do that and kind of start making cricket bats hopefully all around Australia one day and see how that goes so well.
00:24:52
Speaker 2: Let's say let's say Jack Weatherill slaps a ton with your bat and on the on Perth and we can we can get one new lead and the ashes Jack. That'll be a nice little start, I reckon. Hey, great to chat with you all the best. You're a terrific story. We love it. It's good stuff now.
00:25:08
Speaker 6: I really appreciate that, guys, And yeah, thanks for having me on.
00:25:10
Speaker 2: Jack Conness j K Cricket. It's just a lovely organic story. Adelaide guy loves cricket, loves making bats. Would the smell of that workshop were on the Facebook and YouTube loves and who's had some shots of him working in his workshop. It just looks spectacular.
00:25:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's stunning. I love I love that smell of freshly cut timber. It's such a good smell, and all the linseed oil and even the glues that the use.
00:25:34
Speaker 2: There's something kind of nice about an old world quality about making cricket bats from a hand. This is a young fellow in Adelaide who's said, I'm going to become an expert at that. You'd think that's kind of lost.
00:25:44
Speaker 3: Things like the string, the string on the handle under the grip, and the little long, thin V shaped wedge in the neck.
00:25:52
Speaker 2: Ye waiting the bat where the meat where the meat of the bat sits maximizing power. But it's still light like it's a it's a real art form. I love that story. Let's say to the weather Bureau, Ellie Matthews joins us morning to you. Ellie Mohne.
00:26:06
Speaker 12: David and Will how are you both?
00:26:08
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, well Thursday, tell us about Thursday, but we also want to hear about this warmth that might be coming.
00:26:15
Speaker 9: Ah.
00:26:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, So having a look out there at the moment, generally partly cloudy conditions over the Adelaide area. There is some showers just pushing over parts of the Fluria Peninsula, and we could continue to see some very light showers about sort of the eastern side of the Lofties there with these south to the southeasterly winds pushing over. But generally we're looking at a settled day across the region for Thursday. We've got a high pressure bridge that's sitting over the state and does mean temperatures today we're looking at a top of twenty one degrees for Adelaide, same for glenel whilst twenty two degrees for Elizabeth, twenty four no longer, and seventeen degrees for Mount Barker, and these partly cloudy conditions to continue now into tomorrow. We will start to slowly warm up, so we're looking at a top twenty five degrees for Adelaide tomorrow, generally remaining fine for much of Friday and dry, but we will start to see a trough that's forming out in the far west and pushing into western districts during Frida and eventually reaching Adelaide and central districts by the time we get into early Saturday. So on Saturday, temperatures still sort of around that twenty five degree mark for Adelaide, but we will start to see some showers and even isolated thunderstorms developing. So with those showers and thunderstorms, we could see sort of up to seven or even eight millimeters about some parts of the region. Generally with that it will be quite hit or miss. If you do see a thunderstorm, you could receive those higher totals than neighboring areas. But particularly into Sunday is where we do start to see those temperatures warming and even into early next week. So we've got thirty degrees on the forecast for Adelaide on sun and sunny conditions. That's as that low pressure trough that's bringing conditions on Saturday eventually moves into those eastern districts in a way into Victoria, and behind that we will see much clearest guys and the ability for things to warm up much more into that late weekend early next week.
00:28:18
Speaker 2: David and Will good stuff, Elie. Thank you early Matthews at the weather Bureau. Let's say to save Bolston. He comes to a Matt Brown joins us Matt d A car crashed into a laundromat yesterday.
00:28:27
Speaker 13: That's right Will and Dave holding for then and crashed into the front of the business on Yorktown Road at Elizabeth Park about eight pm on Wednesday, the nineteenth of November. The car narrowly missed a cleaner who was exiting the building and also a child standing nearby, so the impact damaged to the front windows and door of the building, but the car immediately drove off and police track the site into a Craigmore address, but unfortunately we're unable to locate the driver. Is anyone who witnessed the crash or may have seen the car leave in the area as I used to call crime stoppers on one eight hundred, triple three, triple.
00:28:57
Speaker 3: Zero mat Also a drink driver's been caught at Smithfield Planes.
00:29:02
Speaker 13: That's right, David. About nine to twenty four pm last night, police were called to Peachey Road after reports that a black hole in sedan had left the road and collided with a tree. The driver a thirty seven year old Monoporel woman underwent a breath test and returned a positive reading of point one nine four, so she was reported for drink driving, issued a twelve month immediate loss of license notice. A car was impounded for twenty eight days. She'll be summers to appear in court at a later date.
00:29:26
Speaker 2: And just lastly, Matte, you've caught up with a couple of teens who nicked off with a scooter.
00:29:31
Speaker 13: Exactly right about five pm last night, two suspects stole a white Balshin petrol scooter. I hope I've pronounced that correctly from Gaul Place in Adelaide. Members of the public reported seeing the scooter driving erradically in and around Forestfield and Oaklands Park and patrols responded to search the area and spotted the scooter on the Southern Expressway at Darlington and Polla. Air was able to track the thieves from above as they drove along the Southern Expressway bike path and then onto Old South Road At Old Ronella. The duo dump the scooter and Backman Avenue before fleeing on foot, but police arrested both teams nearby and the writer of fourteen year old boy from Warfa Vale was charged with writing without a license, legal use for motor vehicle numerous other offenses, while the fourteen year old passenger from Ronella was also charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle, carrying an offensive weapon and two counts of theft relating to other incidents. Both boys were charged with another theft of an additional petrol scooter from the Adelaide CBD. Neither of them applied to bail, so they will appear in court today. So some good work by patrols both in and on the ground and in the air.
00:30:37
Speaker 2: Good work mate, Thank you soon you can. Stable Matt Brown from Sapop.
00:30:40
Speaker 1: David Penberbe and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast Today. David penn Berbie and Will Goodings five double A Breakfast down.
00:30:51
Speaker 2: It wasn't I wasn't a scouting. You're scatting.
00:30:54
Speaker 3: I believe that the clear Lane Scottish Funk Band we had a com petition that we ran in good faith on the five double breakfas show recently regarding the naming of the new tunnel boring machines that will dig out the tunnels for the South Road extension, the next stage of it.
00:31:12
Speaker 2: The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport is on the line on five double breakfast. Minister, good morning to you. My fear is you've got names for the new machines that we didn't pick.
00:31:22
Speaker 14: Oh actually I think some of them might be on there. Okay, drill it's on the list. Someone has put that formerly onto the list though.
00:31:30
Speaker 2: Hang on, Julia Drillard is on the list.
00:31:33
Speaker 14: Yes, that made it formally. Yes, you've done very well done. I think my favorite one that's also made in one of the bit of the fun ones was the miss Frog Cake. I thought that was a good one South Australia. That you know, we've seen a few fun ones country from the Cath Kim and Sharon, the drill Top Hoods owners that tame up on your program as well.
00:31:58
Speaker 2: I think d drill Top Foods is good.
00:32:01
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's popped up as well. But you know, there's also the serious ones that have come through, ones that people feel really represents South Australian women because that we know it has to be a female name that dates right back to the fifteen hundreds as a tradition. But you know, there is some serious ones coming through and we also just want to keep this momentum going as one more week left for people to get their names in, and yes, it's been a lot of fun and a lot of them that made me laugh, and some of them I can't mention on radio had that very standards. But there's definitely these some really good ones that have been put forward to that from Aaron Phillips, Marjorie Jackson Nelson. But I also I'm really enjoying the really local lives, people that every day South Australians that do really extraordinary things that could find their name on the side of a piece of our history tunnel boring machine.
00:32:55
Speaker 2: So Minister, I love this thing. I love this thing.
00:32:59
Speaker 3: Is there a way can the public vote on this or is it how does it work?
00:33:03
Speaker 14: I don't want to make this decision because I would take way too long trying to figure it out who could be the top three. So what we're going to do is we're going to close it off on the thirtieth of November, so just over a week away, and then we're going to narrow it down to a short list and go back out to the public and people.
00:33:20
Speaker 15: Can vote on them.
00:33:21
Speaker 14: So really looking forward to that. We have been blown away via the interest. We had two thousand people already put names in and we know we're going to put one name into its two thousand names that we have. And when we've had the machinery come in to South Australia and being transported down the road, you know, we've had people in their deck chairs lining the road to watch these pieces of infrastructure come in and it's just been extraordinary how much people want to be a part of it because they know how significant this project is. You know, it's been talked about for way too long and now we're getting on and doing it, so exciting for everyone certainly.
00:33:58
Speaker 2: Is so there's only one name, it's going to be picked. Three names of three, three names three that's goods.
00:34:05
Speaker 14: Actually two little tonne of waring machines as well, so maybe we give them one of the fun names. But yeah, so there's three and we're going to have to say them a lot, so I guess it's one of those ones. You want to be able to say it easily and I want to be able to say it's without being too embarrassed.
00:34:22
Speaker 2: That's excellent, minister, Thank you, Minister Instruction trans for Emily Burke. Do we have the originally something goes wrong though. It's like Julia Drillard's costing this country a fortune.
00:34:33
Speaker 3: Julia Drillard has come loose off her tracks at the corner of Range and South Road and smashed it on the Old side of the West.
00:34:40
Speaker 2: Eviden Hotel is the author of Julia Drillard. Still listening. We'd love to hear from you, because you've made the short list. I've got a few feeling it was Rob Rob claim it if it was you, whoever it was, claim it, because that one was that was one hundred percent of five double a breakfast. Suggestion I do like Tina is pretty good too. Tina Turner, that's great. That's pretty good. That should make a gold dress for it. If Tina Cherner gets oh yeah, I'm cheering cheering hard for five double A breakfasts own Julia Drillard, that is superb. I wonder if the former Prime Minister knows about that. I think should be honored. Yeah, she'd probably go down and pose up next to it. Yep'd be great. All right, we're gonna take a break. Five double a use is coming up.
00:35:29
Speaker 1: David Penberthie and Wild Goodings. Five double a breakfast, six after.
00:35:33
Speaker 2: Seven, Good morning too. If you're joining us for the first time on this Thursday morning. I think this is the first time this week that I've been able to look at the window towards the hills and say, it's largely clear. There's only a little bit of cloud, but there's some sun coming through. It's not overcast. There's thirty degree temperatures in our near future. Just maybe the season is changing. I'm glad that the situation regarding phone and internet service outages have changed in Balaclav because it means we can talk to our NIX guest about what it's been like living in Balotclav and trying to operate a business there. For the last seven days we're due to a Telstra upgrade. Internet services, phone services haven't worked. Just think about that, running a business in this day and age. Well, exactly right. It's the equivalent of it's the it's the digital Jetti road. Yeah it is. Yeah. No one can get to you, No one can get to you. That has exactly been the experience of n EX guest BETWEENA Thomas, who's the owner operator of Timeless Beauty and Body in ballet clav a beteena, good morning to you.
00:36:33
Speaker 16: How how are you guys.
00:36:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, so just describe what it's been like and what you were expecting was going to be the case when this upgrade started.
00:36:42
Speaker 16: Well, to be honest, we didn't even get a message sent out to say that they were doing upgrades, so we kind of just got cut off out of nowhere sort of thing. So we all just assume maybe saying had happened to our individual phones. But it's been very hard to operate because we didn't have any ideas that it's going to go on, to be honest, so trying to take bookings, trying to process payments, we were all left in the dark.
00:37:05
Speaker 2: Really, that's extraordinary.
00:37:08
Speaker 3: So you'd think if they knew that this was going to happen, that someone would have the decency of telling you giving you pay for the service.
00:37:14
Speaker 16: Yeah, well I would have thought so too. Like I've had a couple of clients come in and say they only got the message yesterday as they finished the works Monday afternoon saying that, oh, they're going to be doing work for the towers that's going to be out for this long. And like I said, I personally didn't get a message, Otherwise I would have tried to find a backup option. But most of our service out here is well covered by teil show because you can't get very good other range out in the country. So and me being like a brain new business opening up, I run everything off my hot spot on my phone because you know, you tend to stick to the central service sort of stuff when you're just starting out. So I didn't want to have to go buying in a star link or whatnot just to be able to take books to run a like FoFs system.
00:37:55
Speaker 2: Well, what percentage of people that book with you book online between or and what percentage of people pay with cards and things as opposed to cash?
00:38:03
Speaker 16: Would you say, oh, easily, over ninety percent of my stuff is done online and paid by cards. Not very many people carry cash these days. And with today's world, everyone would rather do a booking online than come in and actually speak to people face to face and make a booking. So well, it's meaning into people's lifestyles too.
00:38:22
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. I mean.
00:38:23
Speaker 3: People would either book online or they'd book by making a phone call, and they almost all pay with a credit card. So every single part of your business, apart from that minuscule percentage of very very old fashioned people will.
00:38:39
Speaker 16: Go that's only my old fashioned people that are happy to pay with cash, and they carry cash honestly.
00:38:44
Speaker 2: And also walk or drive to your business to make an appointment face to face.
00:38:50
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yep.
00:38:51
Speaker 16: And it's like it hasn't just been me that was affected by I've got two little boys that go to childcare. We couldn't even get phone calls from the childcare to say if anything could happened. We couldn't get updates anything like that. So God for it. If something happened like being a working momy, same thing happened to my kids, I couldn't even be told about it.
00:39:06
Speaker 2: So what about ongoing communication from Telester between anything?
00:39:11
Speaker 16: No, So I contacted them Monday morning and asked about, like when it's going to be back on if I like there seen charts, I could get a credit, and they pretty much told me it was out of their control. They told me it was going to be back on as of nine point thirty that day, and it was not back on it nine thirty that day. And as they said is they could give me a fifteen dollars credit.
00:39:29
Speaker 7: And that was it.
00:39:30
Speaker 16: And I'm like, if you knew how much business I've lost because of this.
00:39:34
Speaker 2: My gosh.
00:39:35
Speaker 16: Yeah if it was if it was Adelaid, it'd be a whole different story. Because they're a small country town. We get forgot about really completely.
00:39:42
Speaker 2: Yeah that's extraordinary. Yeah, so is it fixed now?
00:39:47
Speaker 7: Yeah, it got.
00:39:48
Speaker 16: Turned back on as of Tuesday afternoon at around three o'clock.
00:39:53
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, yeah, we have it from.
00:39:55
Speaker 16: About Thursday mid afternoon, like morning sort of time. I'm till yeah, Tuesday.
00:40:02
Speaker 2: Good god, it's just shocking. That's amazing. Thanks for sharing your tail, and let's give you business a plug. So it's Timeless Beauty and Body. Is that the name of the shop?
00:40:15
Speaker 16: Yup down the main street of Balaclava.
00:40:17
Speaker 2: And what sort of stuff do you do in there?
00:40:19
Speaker 16: I do everything from waxing, spray turns, massages, nails, pedicures, pretty much anything you can think of beauty guys, I.
00:40:27
Speaker 2: Can do it.
00:40:28
Speaker 3: Folks, if you're heading up to Balaclava and you want to make yourself look beautiful, beteen as your woman Thomas.
00:40:34
Speaker 2: Timeless Beauty and Body just shocking, isn't it. They shouldn't be able to get away with that. Well, they contra exactly, you promise the servers businesses rely on it. It's like going to a restaurant and you know, being charged one hundred dollars and no food drives. Well, I'm not paying. Yeah. It makes the business model all upside and no downside for the telcos if you say, well, people will pay money for us to sustain their business, but if any point it goes wrong, that's not on us. No, yeah, yeah, oh will. There's no other business model of the world like that. Hey, yesterday our rumor file once again had broken a big story. We were contacted by a parent of someone in an under twelve team at Modbury who plays in the Ingle Farm Under twelve's division as part of the Adelaide Community Basketball Association, where the team was told so we were told in the rumor file that they were ineligible to play finals because they were too good. The Advertiser followed up the rumor and spoke with the association. They provided a statement that reads, in part, to assist open this is a direct quote to assist the public and understanding this context. ACBA Ingle Farm is a domestic social competition, meaning it is specifically designed for to participation in community engagement and development, and is not an elite district or representative league. It was a structural requirement of a small social league design for participation development. It was made to ensure well being, fairness, and meaningful competition for all young athletes, while still recognizing and encouraging strong performers to pursue to pursue higher level pathways in district and representative basketball. So if we don't get too good or kick you out, I think what it means is the rumor was one hundred percent right on. One of the parents of a player is on the line with us, now, good morning to you.
00:42:27
Speaker 15: Hey guys, how we doing.
00:42:28
Speaker 2: How does that statement gel with your experience? And what's your instant reaction having just heard that.
00:42:34
Speaker 15: Look, I get that the team that we've got is pretty good. Like they have one, they've gone undefeated. They usually win pretty big and convincingly. But that's that's no fault of their own. They don't go out to smash teams. They're not an elite team. They've got a handful of good kids. They've got a really, really good coach who has them play in the right way. You know, there's no there's no disrespect, there's no violence, there's no swearing, there's none of that kind of rubbish that you see from you know, maybe in district or other teams, and like they've earned the right to play finals and to have the rug pulled out from underneath them this late in the season, and then to get that sort of comment from them, it's staggering.
00:43:23
Speaker 3: I just can't believe this story. How hard has it been explaining to the kids what's going on?
00:43:29
Speaker 15: H yeah, so they they just don't get it like that. They it's basketball, right, So it's not like soccer where you aim to finish top of the ladder and that's good enough. Basketball is all about finals. It's all about the playoffs. You look at you know, the NBA, no one cares who won the East of or Western conference. They just care about who won the playoffs. And that's what these kids dream about. They just want to play in the finals. They want to have a chance of winning a grand final. And look, they're the dominant team. They may you know that they're the favor they would have the favorites to win the Grand Final. But don't we all love an underdog story, don't we all route for you know, the team that's managed to sneak into the finals and go on a run and try and knock off the dominant team, like they're taken that away from us. They've taken it away from other teams that you want to have a shot at the big boys, so to speak.
00:44:20
Speaker 3: I just think it's just utterly pathetic that this competition has done my eight year old players at Forestville. And we know that there are some teams that they really struggle to beat, like there's dominant sides in the competition, but there have been occasions where they've they've done really well and even scored a few points against them in some cases.
00:44:42
Speaker 2: There was one game we had where.
00:44:43
Speaker 3: They actually beat one of the really good sides and it meant so much to the kids that they did that. As you say, mate, but I mean, what are we teaching children? Like I think it's important that my son knows that there are times in life where you just cannot beat somebody or something because they're better than you. Maybe find another pursuit where you can excel at it.
00:45:04
Speaker 2: It's just extraordinary, thank you. I think the most bizarre and arbitrary component of this if the league wants to say to the team, hey, maybe these kids are really talented, you should look at playing them in district door or some other competition next year. Fine. Doing it at the start of finals with the season currently going on is just really unfair to the kids involved.
00:45:30
Speaker 3: I just think they sound like PC handringers. I mean the statement you read out, Well, there's other stuff in it too. We are a highly inclusive, participation based competition with a proudly multicultural and diverse player bass.
00:45:45
Speaker 2: So what's that got to do with anything? But it's just bizarre. Well, maybe it's not bizarre.
00:45:51
Speaker 3: Maybe it's maybe it's just the next logical step of well band scoring because people might get upset if they lose. Now we won't band scoring were ban winning?
00:46:02
Speaker 2: Was any of this stuff ever based on evidence either? Like I say that as a kid who was terrible at sport, I was always in teams that got smashed and I loved every single second of it. Now I know one person isn't a base of evidence, but I played in a team full of people. We always had a great time because there were small wins you'd have, or there are moments or chances, or I reckon. Kids are pretty adept at dealing with this kind of stuff. I don't remember being part of a team that was hopeless that everyone just walked away in tears.
00:46:34
Speaker 3: And the other thing too, is that the kids in the other teams now that are going to make the finals, and also their parents, they're all going to know the other thing's a bit of a joke anymore. Yeah, because they're not playing the best team. I just don't know who we're protecting her really more if they tried. Hey, am, just quickly. We were talking about Julia Drillard, one of the shortlisted nicknames for the giant drilling machine being used on South Road. Our resident stats Ben Ben Jordan reminds us it was Ian from Tonander, Ian from Tornando stats Man.
00:47:09
Speaker 2: He's even got stats on our own callers.
00:47:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben writes, Ian from Tonando was the genius behind Julia Drillard. It's been drillified.
00:47:17
Speaker 2: So thank you. And if you're listening basking the glory mates statsman and five double a breakfast historian Ben Jordan's Ian and you could be named it could be your name adorning a tunnel boring machine. Let's go and checking with all the Fulvigo for nine News here at Adelaide and reporting for the Today Show on an announcement that's been made with regard to Live golf Will Good morning to you. We've got some big name music acts coming to Adelaide.
00:47:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, good one into both of you. This is pretty exciting stuff. So two out of the four music acts are going to be coming here in February of Ben and Nouns. On the Friday night is going to be the Sydney based indy duo Royal Lotus, so some of your listeners might recall some of their work. They have covered Cranberry's and they've covered Sophiellis Baxter. They've got that song of Oysters in my pocket. They're a good indie band. And then on the Sunday it's going to be Fisher DJ Fisher again, and that's pretty much is he's a mainstay or he's always there after the trophy presentations and just going from strength to strength. Really Aria winner, Grammy nominated, and I think if the viewers have been going out to Live here on year, they would very well remember what he could bring to the table. So's some exciting stuff there. There's still two more acts to announce and organizers are teasing that the Saturday could be their biggest headliner yet, so you'll have to watch that space I said.
00:48:36
Speaker 2: That Saturday, the big Saturday gigs yet to be announced, will.
00:48:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's correct. Yea, the Saturday is I think that's Valentine's Day as well, So maybe it might be maybe a slower tune or maybe it'll just be some heavier rock. But that's being teased as their biggest headliner yet.
00:48:53
Speaker 2: Good stuff wild of Fulvio from nine years Adelaide Live Golf. Haven't heard of those performers. Fisher was Fisher there before? Fisher's a DJ. DJ. Know this is playing record, not traditional five double breakfast eeries? Is it exact? Let's ship traffic.
00:49:15
Speaker 1: David Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:49:19
Speaker 2: Twenty three after seven, as revealed in the Rumor File yesterday and confirmed today, the junior basketball team kicked out of the camp for being too good Graham and Williamstown has called in on this this year. Morning Graham, Good morning guys.
00:49:33
Speaker 17: I was thinking, how is this for a scenario. The s ANFL has contacted the football club and said, look, you guys haven't lost a game this year, so we're going to ask you not to play in the finals. Give every birdie or some chance.
00:49:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well that that game against Wood the West Torran's Graham, where it was one hundred points to two at halftime.
00:49:53
Speaker 2: Maybe they should have didn't think about their feelings.
00:49:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Just let the Eagles, you know, give them the ball in the goal square at the start of each turnover after after seriously we said, made the same point yesterday about Central's when they had their decade long run of wins.
00:50:10
Speaker 2: Should they should they have been kicked out of the s A NFL. It's the ultimate square peg in a round hole, isn't it trying to apply these sort of modern standards of some weird construction of decency into something that is by design about determining who wins and who loses and being able to accurately describe the distance between the two teams with something called a score, like least the fundamental elements of sport.
00:50:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:50:36
Speaker 3: Robert Hughes had a good line about that in his book Culture of Complaint, where he said tennis can be shorn of its elitist overtone simply by removing the net. That's right, because I want people to feel like they can't get the ball now. Exactly, great equalizer, isn't it getting rid?
00:50:54
Speaker 2: Of the net. All right, let's uh, let's change change tack for a little bit here, because there is some big changes coming to young people's lives. Over the course of the next fortnight, the social media ban will be in effect, and meta have already started sending out messages to young people saying your accounts are going to be disabled. There's a process by which you can download your data and so forth, so when you do come of legal age to your social media it'll all be back. You won't lose anything, but the process has officially begun. What if you're not friends with the people anymore? Well, that's an awkward thing to sort out down the track, isn't it? Exact person? Professor Lisa Given is does information science that to r MIT and joins us on five double a breakfast now, Professor Given, good morning to you.
00:51:41
Speaker 1: Good morning to what extent do we know and how.
00:51:44
Speaker 2: Uniform of the process is that these social media companies are using to both alert and then, I don't know, for onet of a better phrase, kick off young people from their platforms.
00:51:53
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, there's certainly no standard here, so I think Facebook and Mata is effectively setting the standard. Each company could decide to contact people in a different way. They may have slightly different timeframes and they could use very different technologies or approaches to do that age assurance piece.
00:52:10
Speaker 3: How how sort of resilient is the system going to be to kids just lying about their age?
00:52:16
Speaker 2: Professor?
00:52:18
Speaker 18: Well, they've basically said that anyone who say, wakes up this morning and tries to change their age in the system is going to have to go through that age assurance process. So the companies, you know, they've got to demonstrate that they're taking steps to do as much as they can to keep kids off of the platforms. If those kids then, say, go through the facial scanning, we know that there is an error rate there, so some kids are going to slip through. I suspect that many kids will give that a try see if they can maintain access to the account, but many of them will simply be blocked when they try to lie.
00:52:52
Speaker 3: What's the sort of international context of all of this. I mean, we saw there was that amazing spite given by the Australian mother who lost her daughter to cyber bullying at the un only a month or so ago. Do you think that the Australian laws are going to be picked up by other countries.
00:53:13
Speaker 18: Absolutely. You know, we've already seen Denmark is bringing in controls for under fifteen. I know that you know, New Zealand's watching carefully. The UK has said that they're wanting to do this, as has the European Union. So I think everyone is really watching and waiting to see how effective this is going to be as well as just the technical possibilities. You know, is this something that's going to work and keep the majority of kids off of the platforms. We know it's not one hundred percent, but I think globally everyone's grappling with concerns about you know, harm online. You know, this is real harm, and the tech companies, in my view, should be held to account. This is one strategy to try to keep kids safe, but the world has lots of other options and people are looking at a range of different liass.
00:54:02
Speaker 2: How how good's the list of these companies and these apps that we're banning PROVISI given of they're there any that have slipped through the cracks that you think are curious? For example, I see Discords not on the list and it makes me scratch my head. I'm not sure why that would be the cause are there other examples like that, Yeah, Discord is one.
00:54:22
Speaker 18: We've also seen roadblocks recently that a gaming platform that we thought might be included and it's not now included. I think that there are you know, this is going to be an evolving space, and even things like Discord and roadblocks, depending on the context. If a lot of kids suddenly rush over to Discord and it becomes an unsafe space, the e Safety Commissioner may decide, Okay, we need to take a second look. I think the challenge here is that the legislation sets out very specific definitions of what constitutes social media, and some of these other platforms are kind of in a middle ground that is complicated. It's not as clean to to decide is it in or is it out?
00:55:03
Speaker 2: Tell you what if road Block's got banned, there'd be an absolute revolution at our place with our eight year old and our teen year old. I think they'd go on a hunger strike. Unbelievable. What a time to be alive.
00:55:14
Speaker 3: Professor at least had given the information sciences guru at rm I t res blocks.
00:55:19
Speaker 2: We should keep in touch with the professor. Given that was a good explanation of everything, A good even handed explanation of the big changes that are coming.
00:55:25
Speaker 3: Two weeks away. These kid's going to do with their time. It's going to be an interesting lifestyle adjustment, isn't it. Hopefully it's like the experience at the schools where phones have been banned at recess and lunchtime and suddenly people having conversations again.
00:55:37
Speaker 2: Well I'm intrigued. Well, yeah, because I think the element of what we're trying to ban is the dangerous social media element. But as we I talked about yesterday, ninety percent of the time spent on these things now is watching him watching videos. Yeah, so there's plenty of other ways to do that. Maybe this is this could be free to wear Television's lucky break will towards the children at the age of sixteen. I'd like to introduce you to the six o'clock news. Like to check out preticle David Penberthy.
00:56:08
Speaker 1: And Will Goodings five double A Breakfast. I was.
00:56:16
Speaker 2: Here's the monk received manifest you're eating the doors. I'll tell you what any buses sex anyone not turning up the day as a dumb Matt back to the scene of the crime. Matt Abraham and the five double a breakfast studio. I think we've resisted calls from politicians at state and federal level, having banned from ever returning. But here he is. I thought they want to be bad.
00:56:42
Speaker 9: Matt, Good morning to you, Good morning work, Good morning David.
00:56:45
Speaker 2: Great work. Last Friday, Matt.
00:56:47
Speaker 3: I said to Will when I came in on Monday morning that the next time might take a rare day off work. I think the premier is going to take the day off work just in case you're.
00:56:58
Speaker 2: Doing it's all rough and tumble for terrific. You did a great job.
00:57:04
Speaker 9: Vote I thank you, thank you.
00:57:07
Speaker 2: You enjoyed.
00:57:08
Speaker 9: I did, although I'd forgotten what it was like after the whole day. Well, this is what I'm like after getting up at four in the morning and then doing the breaky shift. And I was a bit nervous beforehand, and my wife said, Helen said to me, what doesn't matter because it's over quickly, which is the best thing about breakfast. But also how you have jet lag for the rest of the day. Yea, it is sort of like this fog. But then I'm old, so young ones you bounced through it.
00:57:37
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, young. Maybe this guy on my right, not not Me's terrific.
00:57:43
Speaker 9: Now is the government is the state. Well South Australians should be rejoicing that we're not going to get Cop number one because I think it would have been like a logistical night may of course it would have been a triumph, but I think the Albanese government is very happy to basically surrender on it, which is effectively what they've done. If for Turkey a e turkya turkya wanted because it's going to cost something like one somewhere between one billion and two billion, I don't know how you can just sort of throw that figure around, but it was an enormous amount of money.
00:58:25
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you know how much it's already cost in return for exactly nought. I mean, we know that we've had a few mayors that have toddled off to Rio, but besides that, Graham Goodings had the amazing statistic the other morning that's something like four hundred and forty Australian public servants or elected people have gone off to to Rio and other conference is already.
00:58:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Andrew Bolts column, the ties of this morning lest some of the bizarre groups that are over there, you know, like it's sort of underwater basket weaving for Gay Wales territory sort of. I don't know if I allowed to say that, but look, everyone who's anyone's over there. I think it's been a huge, sort of in a way bureaucratic public service boondoggle. Our three mayors here are an excellent example of that heading over there. I know they all think they did wonderful things, but really they didn't need to be there. That that that was a waste of money. And the state government, I think Peter Malnauskus it's you would if we don't get COP and it looks like we're not, then it's another fail. And he's had a few big fails as we roll towards election campaign. Project Prosperity, you know, transforming the North with desalinated water and green hydrogen is in tatters. They're they're big fails by this government, and I would think there'll be a I think there's an upside to not having COP.
00:59:52
Speaker 2: Let's put it like that, not for hospitality there there's a huge I think that I think that point you made it initially is bright on. There's a huge upside. For Anthony Alberanezy, I think there's was a really tough sell outside of South Australia. Oh yeah, because I mean, look, whether you have ideological problems with what the events a out or not, it's hard to convince the rest of Australia spend billions of dollars for an event that's only going to benefit Adelaide. That was that was the challenge. I mean, there's enough so olbow killing it looks like a hero everywhere it's South Australia.
01:00:21
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I doubt many South Australians, or very few Australians, would even care two hoots about cop you know, really like it's what is it? To most people? You go out in the outer suburbs of Adelaide, it'll be like, well, big deal. I'm more worried about whether my kids or grandkids have somehow inhaled asbestos in the lovely cute, little cheap playstand that they get at office works or Kmart or wherever, and is in the classroom, or paying off my mortgage, and whether there are buses in my area now where you know, whether the streets are so narrow and the new subdivisions you can't get garbage trucks down the well. That's sort of start I'll.
01:01:05
Speaker 3: Put it in the energy space. The big story in energy in Australia in the last twelve months has been their power bills have gone up by twenty five percent at a time where Chris Barnes keeps talking about how you know, we've got this exciting renewable future, or maybe we do, but at the moment we also have an increasingly unaffordable renewables oriented present.
01:01:27
Speaker 2: But what's the relationship between these things. Are we going to get cheap about bills now that we don't have COP, Well, no we're not. But the thing is, if COP was here and we had all these people making all these lofty, performative gestures and carrying on and you know, all singing from little things, big things grow as the contents you looking at your age. What a total rhymes with anchor? Yes, exactly. It's going to happen anyway somewhere in the world, and we're going to get lectured like who cares? But I think it's hard. It's hard.
01:01:58
Speaker 3: It's hard to sell here because we're for our taxes for all of this high faluting nonsense to happen right here, and we've closed one quarter of the city for a month to do it.
01:02:09
Speaker 2: I think that that part of it. Mate. I struggle with the idea, and it's all academic now because it's not going to happen with I mean I could if you don't like cop. How what's the argument for live golf? Because to me, they're the same thing.
01:02:22
Speaker 9: There isn't is it?
01:02:24
Speaker 2: Are they the same thing?
01:02:26
Speaker 14: Ah?
01:02:27
Speaker 2: Well no, I think they're totally different. Because Live makes people want to come to Adelaide, brings more people than the Olympic game.
01:02:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's a one off thing. Live changes people's This is the argument. Live changes people's perceptions of Adelaide.
01:02:41
Speaker 2: It makes people. You know, people say, Adelaide's boring. Have you been together around? Have you been to live?
01:02:44
Speaker 3: Adelaide's cool. They've got wineries, they got this, They've got that. Cops aren't going to do that in a lot ongoing sense.
01:02:51
Speaker 2: What okay, Yeah, so we weren't doing Olympics either. I guess we wouldn't. To be honest with Malley's premiere, whim is interested like do we care about cost benefit ratios or not?
01:03:04
Speaker 19: What?
01:03:04
Speaker 2: Because this has been this state, go ask this because this state government's really pegged achievement to bringing events here and the rationale is the rationale for them has never been. It doesn't matter whether you care about it. It matters whether the outgoing amount of taxpayer money is smaller than the amount of economic activity that's been generated. So that's always been their justification. I know that.
01:03:27
Speaker 9: But I also think that live golf, the gather around on the car race, which are the three big markers of Peter mal Lawski's mask, continue to mask some of his big failures. And the green hydrogen plant is a big failure. The we're now chained to Wyler. There's there's talk that we may need and you interviewed the Treasurer Tom Kutsontonus on this. We may need to throw in one and a half two billion dollars for gas for why for the you know, before Blue Scope or whoever decided to take it, which.
01:04:05
Speaker 2: Is not included in the initial Yeah, billions of dollars that have been expended on Whaler and.
01:04:11
Speaker 9: The detail plant has been pushed out over the horizon that was going to sort of provide water for BHP at Olympic Dam. Two big, two big things, you know, like three years ago, the first year this State Prosperity Project, they They've had beer coasters printed and beer mats for the pubs. I mean, just had massive advertising that this was going to be a big deal and it's just disappeared. And what we're going to be left with is, you know, the big concern is extra debt for both Whyalah and also the potential in the future desail plant. Now Tom Kutsontanis is incredibly convincing on this as treasurer. You know, he's a terrific performer as treasurer. And his argument is, oh, well, look, if the price goes up for these projects, we'll just charge them more. We'll charge them more for gas, we'll charge them more for water. Well that's fine, but the actual capital cost has a big impact on state debt, and taxpayers have to pay the interest bill on that state.
01:05:15
Speaker 2: Debt, you know that.
01:05:17
Speaker 9: And that's almost an instant thing. And then you have this long term thing, Oh we're going to charge them more for gas, We're going to charge them more for water. We've sort of got to be a bit competitive on that as well. But the opposition on this has just been you know that the Liberals to me are just lame. And I had to ask Patrick out there who helped me. I said, who's the liberal shadow treasure because I look it up all every time, you know, and it's Sam Telfer.
01:05:45
Speaker 2: And when.
01:05:48
Speaker 9: Tony, oh god, Vincent Tarsier far out, when Vincent Tarsia announced this stamp big thing on stamp duty. We're going to get rid of stamp duty over about one hundred forty years or something. I think the program is. But he is going to get rid of stamp duty. I don't think Sam Telfer was at the press conference and top quts of Toni's put out a press release, you know, missing person's alert for Sam Telford. If you've seen this man, they had that fun of him carrying the Wooli's bag, you know, the Woolli's paper bag when he had allegedly been shopping after going to the dentist. And doesn't that paint a good picture? And he put out a missing person's alert. It was pretty funny actually, but I thought, well, where was he? Who is the liberal treasurer. Well, there's huge debt problems here and you never hear boo from a goose from them.
01:06:36
Speaker 2: Well, the only the best headline attacking the government's capacity to manage the economy came from the Order to General. Yes, yes, most recently that was that was a good damaging story from the opposition.
01:06:48
Speaker 3: Yes, was there a broader problem with that, We'll get rid of of a stamp duty story. And it almost it almost sounds like and the flimsiness of the detail provided with as to how it would work, and the questions was asking that morning where we couldn't really get a straight answers how much it was going to cost the budget. It almost sounds like in the private Tactics meeting, the conversation went, look, we're stuffed anyway, so let's just promise some really crazy stuff. It obviously sounded like an Australian Democrats policy.
01:07:17
Speaker 9: There is that feel about it in opposition that they're so far behind, then let's come up with some wacky ideas and throw them at the telegraph pole and see if any of them stick. Basically, I look across the border now in Victoria where you have this incredible situation where a popular opposition leader has been neck Brad Baton now he had just sent to Alan on the canvas as the Victorian labor premier over particularly over crime, and effectively forced her kicking and screaming to doing something about youth crime. Over there, they've necked him brutally and installed Jess Wilson as a new Liberal leader. Now, Brad Batton had I think almost a ten point lead on Jacinta Allen as preferred premier. That's an amazing feat for an opposition leader because generally, no matter how bad you are, incumbency gives you an advantage as a premier. And I think they were fifty one forty nine percent on two party pre ThReD basis, so they're actually ahead in the polls. But for the Liberal Party over there, that wasn't good enough. I noticed they spoke this morning to Steve Bras.
01:08:35
Speaker 2: This is in the.
01:08:37
Speaker 9: Australian.
01:08:38
Speaker 2: I thought this was really interesting.
01:08:40
Speaker 9: Jeff Kennet and Steve Bras, they both in interviews by The Australian, offered Wilson Jess Wilson the SAME's advice, be yourself and back yourself. Kennet says, you have to be her ches to be yourself, and the most important thing is you've got to have a sense of humor. You need a sense of humor in this game, and you must have the capacity to go to bed at night, go through things you might have done badly, understand how you're going to fix them tomorrow, and then get a good night's sleep. I'd say to anyone coming into this level, you've got no idea what the work requimed is until you're here. Secondly, you have to be yourself. Third you have to have a sense of humor, and lastly you've got to develop an internal system. And both Bras and Kennet had a sense of humor. Anthony Alberesi has a sense of humor. I mean he's got a nasty streak, as has Peter mal Nauskus when you push the wrong buttons. But they both have a sense of humor. There's Anthony Albernezi in his submarine cap talking about six to seven. You know that doesn't mean anything, just like the Susan Lee's policies, and you know, doing the mannerisms of six says seven having a bit of fun in the job, as does Peter mal Nauskus. I look at the opposition here and I think, well, first of all, most people don't know the names beyond Vincent Tarzia, and secondly, I see largely in their shadow ministers when they get up there a group of people who aren't terribly well groomed, bad haircuts. And I know I can't I know I can't talk.
01:10:05
Speaker 2: But you know you're not running for public office, mate, Send them all.
01:10:10
Speaker 9: Off to Ferris Trabulsi or something going. Forester is still in business.
01:10:15
Speaker 2: Oh, I think he's got the same way as well.
01:10:18
Speaker 19: Send them send them somewhere anyway, just is sharpen them up a bit. I mean, Vincent Tarzi is walking on the jetty yesterday announcing this policy, and he's there in a blue suit with a white shirt, and I'm.
01:10:29
Speaker 2: Thinking, you want a jenny.
01:10:31
Speaker 9: At least pretend you're going on.
01:10:32
Speaker 2: A walk on a jenny saying you can't govern your hair. You can't give myself Astralia, David.
01:10:37
Speaker 1: Penberthie and Will Gooding's five double a breakfast.
01:10:42
Speaker 2: Matt, all right, let's write some spin show we has collected yourselves?
01:10:49
Speaker 9: Yes, sorry, yes, let's write some spin now. First of all, this is Jess Wilson, who's the new Liberal leader and the Bob is back. She is going her hair hairdoo, and just into Allan's are the same. I don't really know what that means, but here she is a depress conference, both praising the person she just rolled, Brad Baton, but unable to explain if it was so good why he was rolled.
01:11:13
Speaker 20: Brad has done a terrific role and I thank him for his service. I thank him for his leadership, but more broadly for his service to Liberal Party over many, many years. And I know the Brad will have a key role going forward in the lead up to the next election he won.
01:11:26
Speaker 11: If it's not a terrific job, then why you're saying every day not wrapped up?
01:11:29
Speaker 15: The Liberal Party room has spoken.
01:11:31
Speaker 20: I'm humbled by their support.
01:11:34
Speaker 2: None of it. I don't know what they've said, but they've spoken. I've spoken.
01:11:39
Speaker 9: I just ended up. I'm not asking any questions. Jess Wilson gets a solid seven out of ten Matts now bringing this closer to home, and I don't want to embarrass you, David, but this is your interview benbo with Mayor of Mitcham fresh back from cop Heather Holmes Ross and I'm here answering.
01:12:05
Speaker 5: Your questions and I think that it's it's rude for you to be rude.
01:12:10
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way.
01:12:12
Speaker 1: No, I don't think you are.
01:12:13
Speaker 11: But thank you for the apology anyway, that's all right.
01:12:15
Speaker 2: Just one final question. Did you offset the trip? Because it's a pretty lengthy flight to Brazil?
01:12:20
Speaker 9: How do you mean did I offset it.
01:12:22
Speaker 2: For the carbon footprint?
01:12:25
Speaker 20: I don't I don't know.
01:12:26
Speaker 9: I don't understand what.
01:12:27
Speaker 2: When I don't know if you book the flights yourself, but when you book a flight, you can offset the carbon footprint for the trip. Did you do that? I don't know.
01:12:36
Speaker 9: I didn'took the flight.
01:12:38
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
01:12:43
Speaker 9: I didn't book flight.
01:12:44
Speaker 2: But you're just rude, being rude.
01:12:47
Speaker 9: I think we do agree though, that being rude is rude, and I would like to think your apology was sin here not what.
01:12:56
Speaker 14: She was right.
01:12:57
Speaker 2: I was being rude.
01:12:57
Speaker 9: You're going to go to sarcasmologists anonymous after this.
01:13:03
Speaker 3: It's not as r as going on some private jaunt of Brazilian expecting the public should pay for it.
01:13:10
Speaker 9: That's been But anyway, she doesn't know about offset points despite going to a big climate conference. Heather Holmes ross two out of ten matts.
01:13:23
Speaker 2: It's been offset the points. That's right. She can do that. See you next week.
01:13:29
Speaker 1: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five double A breakfast nine after eight.
01:13:35
Speaker 2: This time tomorrow we will be twenty minutes away potentially from giving away a house, not giving it away to be the subject of an option for Variety to say, but we are going to be broadcasting live from Mount Barker tomorrow morning. Emerald Way is where we'll be at the site of this, this charity house that's been put in here. This is a great story. Actually, thirty South Australian businesses and people have come together to build what is a two story house built in memory of Emily Belperio who lost her life at the age of just three years old. Her father, Joe is the owner and director of Emerald Way Mount Barker. He donated the land to get this project off the ground. It's a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It's a four bedroom, three bathroom, beautiful, open planned living house, double garage. You can see pictures of it by the way at Emeraldway Charity home dot com dot are you now. The thing about this that is truly unique is that this is a no reserve auction and every single cent goes to Variety SA. This is going to be one of the biggest actions you're ever going to hear It's going to happen live tomorrow morning, after eight thirty. We are going to be there, so we're gonna be right next to the auction as it's happening. We're going to be right next to as it's happening. Yet, the guy from the block, you're going to hear it as it's happening. That's right, Tom Panos, celebrity auctioneer extraordinaiy no reserve. So whatever the high bit is after eight thirty, that's how much money is going to Variety and that someone's getting a house. Let's not forget housing crisis. This is really at seven hundred and fifty Grand Mount Barr, a huge, growing, wonderful part of South.
01:15:02
Speaker 3: Australia, great lifestyle destination. Exactly right, tea change, want a tree change, It's the place to be. Come down and see it. What a great auction this will be. Someone gets a house and get a whole stack of money.
01:15:13
Speaker 2: It goes for a lot.
01:15:14
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, just for Variety's sake, the great work that they do for all of those needy kids and supporting their families. But yeah, let's see what it does end up going for. But looking at the pictures now on the live stream superb beautiful looking house. Well that's tomorrow morning on the programs. It makes you tune in. Well, we in Barker from six o'clock. Normally we have no trouble getting the Premiere to come on the show. He asked him if he could join us this morning to shed any light on what is happening with Coop, but his office explained that he's not available or just not does not want to come on to talk about it yet.
01:15:55
Speaker 2: I think you can read a fair bit into that.
01:15:57
Speaker 3: I think that the Premier would probably think it's for a national event such as this, that it's not his job to read the last rites to the conference being held here in South Australia. We are expecting that the Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi will at some stage today confirm what now looks like the world's worst kept secret, that cop will not be coming to Adelaide in any form. It raises some questions because so much time and so much effort has already been put into it, particularly in the area of policing. Hours and hours and hours of work has been done not just by Saphole but by police forces into state there's a huge hospitality component to this as well. I received the text earlier in the program from one prominent figure in the hospitality industry saying that this can be spun any way they like, but the loss of functions, conferences, weddings, conventions, etc.
01:16:58
Speaker 2: Is massive.
01:16:59
Speaker 3: The two biggest look newsers, of course, be the Convention Center and the Adelaide Oval. The Eastern States conference and convention venues will be very happy with our indulgent attempt.
01:17:09
Speaker 2: What does it mean to for the tax players?
01:17:11
Speaker 3: Well, as we said, we did ask the government on, we asked the Premiere on I'm sure we'll talk to him soon. But Ben Hood, the opposition spokesman for government accountability, is on the line now, Ben, how have I of worked for nought by the look of things, isn't it?
01:17:26
Speaker 7: Yeah?
01:17:26
Speaker 21: Well, good morning boys, always good through with you.
01:17:28
Speaker 2: It certainly is.
01:17:29
Speaker 21: I mean eight million bucks, thirty four cops exclusively on this job for however many months. So I think the question now to the Premier is how much of that eight million bucks has been spent? And really apologize to all your accommodation and hospitality venues that have essentially put everything on hold. In November next year and now won't be taking any bookings. Now accommodation should be able to be booked out. But if you think about those venues, those conference venues, they're in bigs strife and we had one of them contact us to said there'd be a million bucks down if COP didn't go ahead. So now the premier is really to let left holding the bag on this job, and he doesn't need to apologize those hospitality businesses. And what he should also do is we're writing an invoice to Albo right now for that eight million bucks, and if ourbo is going to pull out of COP, then he's got to cop the tap.
01:18:21
Speaker 3: Do you think Ben that there's a counter argument that you've got to be in it to win it, And I mean the opposition didn't have an in principal problem with the idea of hosting it here. It's been like the World Cup bid. You never know how it's going to play out. And if we hadn't put our hand up, we would never have been in the running for what would have been an economic opportunity.
01:18:40
Speaker 2: Whether you agree with the optics of these GAB tests.
01:18:42
Speaker 21: Or not, yeah, look it's a good argument, Pembo. You do have to be in these things to win it. But I think you know you made the point with Mattie just before that you know, at the end of the day, this is just a one off event. When you've got to live, golf, gather and other things, they sort of a perpetual event and generate that interest. But this is a one off event where we're going to see the elites flying in their private jets, hopefully offsetting somehow. Well maybe they actually know what off setting is, unlike the mayor that you had on before. But at the end of the day, you know, this government really is just now in spin mode. And I'd probably make the point if we could hook up the spin coming from the Premiere on this now, then we could probably power those turbines they're trying to flog off the sold energy crisis. You know, the Premier is telling us one point or three point one billion dollars of potential future events coming into the state. Yeah, well, if my grandfather had will was it'd be a bicycle. At the end of the day, that's not realized money. What we do know is that eight million bucks has been spent.
01:19:42
Speaker 13: How are we going to get that back?
01:19:43
Speaker 21: And really the Fed should be tipping in to make sure that again the taxpayers it's South Australia are on the hook for another flight of fancy.
01:19:51
Speaker 3: Ben Hood, the opposition spokesman for Government accountability, thank you for joining us.
01:19:57
Speaker 2: Immaculately groomed ben Hood, I should say which you wishould do some text police as the text line dieder four eight zero eight thirda ninety five.
01:20:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are many texts here. None of them are ruining the loss of cop either. There's a whole pile of people saying the same thing that they really wonder how much how much money has been spent the one year from alex and Scott Park saying well, look we've already committed eight million dollars to this bid. How much of that money are we going to get back?
01:20:31
Speaker 2: And and says I would rather Marlee work on events such as getting a Taylor Swift or an Oasis concert. Adelaide cop who cares Taylor Swift just minis what was it nine to it?
01:20:45
Speaker 3: I'm not sure you're the Taylor Swift guy, t Swizzle. I wonder if the government's over there paid any money to get Oasis.
01:20:53
Speaker 2: I doubt it. Like if Oasis you know no, only.
01:20:58
Speaker 3: Let bygones be by and decided to make billions of dollars doing a world too.
01:21:02
Speaker 2: They just automatically go in. I think one of the benefits of Sydney and being Sydney in Melbourne is you probably don't have to Yeah, yeah, they can do two or three concerts there and they're laughing.
01:21:10
Speaker 1: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double a Breakfast twenty three minutes to nine.
01:21:16
Speaker 2: There's been a resolution to this morning to Adelaide's own version of this and.
01:21:23
Speaker 9: The Academy Award for Best Picture.
01:21:25
Speaker 5: Lala land.
01:21:29
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, no mistake, there's a mistake Moonlight. You guys won Best Picture. I want this is not a joke. This is not a joke. I'm afraid they read the wrong thing. Oh dear Moonlight and La La Land at at the Oscars getting it wrong. Well. There was a similar issue with the Australia Day Council of South Australia announcing the winner of Senior Australian of the Year. Have a listen.
01:21:56
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty six Senior South Australian of the for South Australia is Malcolm Benny.
01:22:03
Speaker 22: Just hold that thought for just a moment. There's been a controversy. The wrong winner was in the envelope and we do apologize for that. The twenty twenty six a Senior Australian of the Year is in fact James. Is it James, It is James, James Curry, James Curry.
01:22:23
Speaker 5: We had it right all the way along. I don't know what has transpired behind the scenes, but incorrect information. It is Malcolm Van I'm terribly sorry for the embarrassment.
01:22:31
Speaker 2: So just to catch you up there, that was the Senior Australian of the Year award for South Australia. Australia Council of South Australia administering the whole thing. Initially Malcolm Benoy was announced as a winner. It was then corrected to James Curry. Then subsequently the organizer conversation said, oh no, it was right in the first place. It was Malcolm Benoy. Well here we are now a number of days later and a statement has been issued by the Australia a Council of South Australia and it turns out that too is wrong. They are now delighted to announce that both the sound engineer and pioneer of South Australian film, James Curry and Malcolm Benoy are twenty twenty six Senior Australian of the Year for South Australia. They were joint winners. The statement says following voting by South Australian Selection Panel, mister Curry mister Benoy were tied in first place. The panel resolved in outcome and an administrative era by the Australia a Council meant the results of the meeting were inaccurately recorded. Unfortunately, the era was not identified prior to the presentation evening. On the evening, at different times, both mister Benoy and mister Curry were announced as the recipient. The South Australian Selection Panel reconvened following the announcement and unanimously agreed that both mister Curry and mister Benoy be selected as Senior Australian of the Year for South Australia.
01:23:53
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say I feel really, really sorry for the two voices that you heard there that we were playing. The lovely Sonya Feldhoff, who has been a mainstay of ABC Radio for many years in this town. So she was doing the presentations with her her fellow presenter, and it got to run on the TVs over the weekend. So these two poor buggers.
01:24:14
Speaker 2: Are up there on stage with all of these envelopes in front of them, one host the awards with all the wrong names in them, and people were going, oh, look look at these two clutter as. They don't know what they're doing. Well, none of it was their fault, clearly, like how you just want the ground to swallow you up, but clearly nothing within the organization you either. So it was what about the two guys as well, like it's so embarrassing for them, I feel, well, let's give them their two incredible people who have made a wonderful contribution. But the difference with the Oscar one was read out incorrectly, and it was one mistake that was a mistake. Three times they read out the winner, they corrected it wrongly, and then the organizer came up and said, no, we got it right the first time and that that was also wrong. They both maybe they're trying to take their queue from the Modbury Basketball Association. They think that everybody should win. Maybe they're both too good, and they thought it's not fair. We don't want to have the best. There's a rightful Scenior Australian that's going to embarrass everybody at the same time. But anyway, congratulations to James Curry and Malcolm Benoy joint Senior South Australian of the Year. Deserve a joint winners.
01:25:21
Speaker 13: Well.
01:25:22
Speaker 3: As we said in Breaking at eight, we are waiting official confirmation that cop is not going to be going ahead. We've been covering it all morning and no one has rung us up to say no, no, no, wait and see. It sounds like it is a dead duck. Anna mola is, the CEO of the Australian Hotels Association, do a great job representing all of the pubs and clubs and restaurants and so forth around town.
01:25:43
Speaker 2: We've got Anna on the line and a good morning thanks for joining us.
01:25:47
Speaker 3: This must be a pretty difficult situation for people running hospitality businesses.
01:25:52
Speaker 2: I'd imagine some of the bigger ones too.
01:25:53
Speaker 3: You think things like the Convention Center to direct hit for them, but there must be a lot of other hotels venues that would have basically blocked out next November expecting to be at one hundred percent capacity.
01:26:07
Speaker 4: Well, given the couple of debacles you've just talked about. There might be a long way to run with this. We don't know whether we've got cop or not. But yeah, look, look there were a lot of places where there are a lot of places that have got placeholders in. That's not unusual, those places would have waiting lists. But I think I think it's fair to say that just being in the game and getting to the point where we were an actual contender and at the worst kind of runner up has been really good for the state and certainly great in terms of the number of inquiries and things that we've had at business events, Adelaide level and the convention Center. So in a way it's a bit of a long game. We almost have won.
01:26:53
Speaker 7: Anyway, just be clear on.
01:26:56
Speaker 2: That, because I think the opposition and so how Theustralia is saying that this is a huge lost to the industry. What's what's better from your perspective, Anna, that we try and get events that require the industry to put placeholders in that may or may not realize, or that we avoid that all together and just don't get the events, but also don't create the uncertainty. What's preferable.
01:27:17
Speaker 4: Oh, look, I think I think you've got to you've got to be playing the game to have a chance of winning. And you know, there's this great saying that is the audacity of hope. And I think the audacity of hope gave us, Katie Perry. The audacity of hope gave us things like lib golf and gather around. So yeah, look, you know you've got to do your due diligence and you know, assess the risk and that that kind of thing. But yeah, absolutely, I think we've got to try for these things.
01:27:47
Speaker 9: We are now seeing.
01:27:48
Speaker 4: South Australia is seen quite differently now than we were seen five years ago. You know, I'm getting cabs when I'm in other states and you know, so many times the DRAVA says where are you from? And I tell them and they say, wow, You're so lucky. You know, it's a great place. So we feel different here. I think we see ourselves differently here, but most importantly, other people from other places are seeing us differently. So yeah, to be in contention the profile that that gives us on the world stage, I think it's hard to quantify the value in that.
01:28:26
Speaker 2: Do you think Anna that I mean, you know, we're still twelve months away from next November. Is there a chance that we could identify other events between now and then that could help. I mean, nothing's going to replicate the bookings that would have come as a result of Copper was going to be standing room only, But is there a chance for us to find a few things that could actually kick some the hospitality energy into November twenty six?
01:28:49
Speaker 1: Oh?
01:28:49
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean the positive thing is that we have like quite a long lead time and we're actually seeing a trend recently whereby people are booking things closer to the destination time. So so yeah, Like and as I said, these places it's.
01:29:07
Speaker 5: Not their first rodeo.
01:29:08
Speaker 4: You know, they put places holders in, but they also they do have a plan B for themselves. They have waiting lists. And I'm sure once we actually know for sure what's going on with COP, you know, the wheels will be in motion immediately. And you know, for those that are genuinely in strass as a result of this, if we don't get COP, I'm sure there'll be conversations that go on, you know, behind closed doors about what can be done.
01:29:35
Speaker 3: Absolutely well, hopefully that is the way ahead. Adam Olo is the CEO of the AHA always great to catch up out to thank you.
01:29:42
Speaker 11: Thank you.
01:29:43
Speaker 2: We got the good news earlier in the week that Bedford Industries would continue that provider will take over the site, so that was the good news componed with the story, and then as the detail came out, we realized that there will be losers. On Monday, some suppliers received a letter from a nicol who are managing the administration process that any debts incurred before the seventeenth vone in November, we're not payable by the administrators and would then be treated as unsecured claims against Bedford with any payment. This is a quote dependent on the outcome of the administration. So what does that mean for people like our next guest, Tim Chatzoppolos from Tim Peaker Wholesalers. Tim, good morning to you, Good morning.
01:30:25
Speaker 11: How are you?
01:30:25
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, Tim, have you got a large amount outstanding? And what are your hopes that you'll be able to recover all or any of that money?
01:30:33
Speaker 11: I believe we have no hope. Basically, they basically when the government pumped in the fifteen million dollars July, we were advised at the time that all credits will be paid and that's what the money was for. I've got so much email correspondence, text messages saying we're just waiting for the money to clear for mcgrund Nickel. You repaid and then when basically they kept buying time and then as time was passing, they offered me a payment plan which I agreed to, which was around September. Didn't make a single payment. Then the ladies, discreetly they was looking after the account, said oh, look, if you get a lawyer involved, CFO will probably fast track that you get paid. I've got a lawyer involved, paid more money, and then basically she brought more time and then on Friday was supposed to be the first payment, and basically then she rings me up said I look, we froze the accounts, but the good news is we've sold Bedford and you're going to get paid in full. She still said that to me Monday morning, and then I get a letter from a Grand Nickel and pretty much it's almost like a liquidation letder.
01:31:34
Speaker 2: Basically we're going to be left with mar So Tim, you guys provide food, is that right?
01:31:38
Speaker 7: Yeah?
01:31:39
Speaker 2: Correct? And how up until how recently you've been providing those food services?
01:31:43
Speaker 11: So we're looking after the Cultivate site, which you know, which closed closed down in June. So look at that time we were like, all right, if it goes into liquidation, look that's the risk we take as a food service business. But then when you know, when the government bailed the money out, I have text message straightaway saying, hey, Tim, fantastic news. You're going to get paid for. We're just wade for the Grand Nickel to release the money. And it's been lie after lie after lie. It's just it's I'm just a small family business. I've got a young family. It just straining to heal the lies and to watch Pittter Malnascers like look like a superstar on the TV when all the creditors did not get paid.
01:32:24
Speaker 2: So Tim remind us exactly how much money are you owed?
01:32:29
Speaker 11: Close to sixty thousand dollars.
01:32:30
Speaker 2: Sixty thousand dollars, My god, man, that's so much money.
01:32:34
Speaker 11: One hundred percent, and it's damaging to my business and you know, to you know, and I've just been fighting, you know, day and night this past week, you know, for Peter manaskers to reach out and say, look, you know, I just want an answer, right the question I guess me and the media are asking, and that's why the media has been in contact me. When did the fifteen million dollars go? You know the goal that's our tax paying money. We're already paid taxing us. Where did the fifteen million dollars go? Because no one knows.
01:33:04
Speaker 3: Well, maybe maybe they were trying to keep the banks at bay by paying off the direct debt that Bedford had to them.
01:33:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.
01:33:13
Speaker 3: I'm just speculating, but there's something crook about the way these credited situations work, where it's off in little businesses like you that end up being pushed right down to the bottom of the queue or left off the queue entirely.
01:33:25
Speaker 11: One hundred percent. This was I'll be honest, this is I could just see. I mean, and I've got all emails to show this was pre this was precess. I mean whatever they did to cover whatever they whatever that's had to cover, and they've just been buying time like that's and I've spoken to a couple other credits they've been fed the same stories. Look, we're just waiting for the funds another week, and they've just been buying time to get it to this, get it to administration and then we get nothing because pretty much the last letter from McGraw nicol basically says in point blame, pretty much're going to get nothing. And then i've heard rumors from yesterday the advert advertiser advised me. But now McGrath nickel might get pulled from being the administrators because it's a bit of a conflict of interest because have done previous business together. There's a lot of dodgy stuff going on.
01:34:11
Speaker 2: How many other people are you in your situation that you've spoken to Tim?
01:34:15
Speaker 11: So there's a gentleman lets he the pizza bases. He's his family business out of Sydney, so he's suppliedhim some pizza bases. So I know he's twenty seven thousand dollars. They are in twenty seven thousand. And then I know there was a because my love put a post on social media and I know there was a small business that did an event for him. I think that they set up an event for him and it was a couple of invoices and you know they were never paid. But look, it's just all the lies, right, it's all the lies. We've just been lied to from go to way and it's just it's you know, it's demoralizing what was been.
01:34:50
Speaker 2: For doing with the food that you were that you were supplying them with.
01:34:55
Speaker 11: So what they were doing is basically the disabled people were based. So I think there was a couple of guys running it, and then the same people would make would make food and on sellar to food Land. So apparently the cultivate side of their business was quite profitable. But I guess overall, you know where are here was an absolutely shit.
01:35:10
Speaker 2: Show got dragged down with the rest of it.
01:35:12
Speaker 11: Yeah, yea, because that just built that build a brand new site. They were doing a new cultivate sordery, like a state of the art, brand new site. They're gonna have a second sight. And then I guess when everything hid in July, in June or July, basically they can that as well.
01:35:27
Speaker 3: It sounds like they expanding all sorts of stuff that they couldn't actually afford and didn't do their due.
01:35:31
Speaker 2: Diligence on it.
01:35:33
Speaker 3: Tim, just finally, have you have you tried to have any direct contact with the state government? Have you heard anything from them?
01:35:39
Speaker 17: All?
01:35:39
Speaker 5: Right?
01:35:39
Speaker 11: Not from Peter Manahaska's I've ranged it, I've rang everyone, I've spoken to your position leader. I've rang everyone, right, I've rang everyone. I'm going to do everything in my power. Like I said, it's got a young family. I'm just I'm just a small fish to try and get this money right, so I just got to keep pushing.
01:35:56
Speaker 2: Well, we can't promise anything, but we talked them all the time, so we we'll raise this. We'll raise this with him, and you know, I think he will. You know, if he's listening to this interview now, he's not going to be feeling proud about the way it's played out. So I think I think, you know, let's let's see if something can come of this public scrutiny that it's getting. And good on you for popping your head up, mate and going public on it, because if you don't make any noise, you generally get nothing. So we'll stay in touch. Tim tim Chatzoppolos from tim Peeka Wholesalers, we will be certainly staying in touch for any development. Hopefully positive on that front.
01:36:34
Speaker 1: David Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double a Breakfast.
01:36:38
Speaker 2: Four to nine. I tell you what, it's been a barnstorming start for the rumor file. We confirmed earlier today the case of the junior basketball team that was simply too good to play finals kicked out of the competition to make with a parrot this morning, but the organizing body confirmed that it was a decision that they took as well. We spoke about that a little bit earlier. Matthew Clark yesterday coma Bays as a as the head coach of the Bays. That was last week's rumor file. Make sure, if you've got a room map, you break the news here on five double a break which he can be totally anonymous. We've got we've had some terrific at well, there's one that may well still come to pass about Flinder's private being purpurchased by the state government.

Speaker 3: Vincentazia better be hoping that for liberal leaders bad luck doesn't come in threes, because it's now being reported by The Australian that New South Wales Liberal leader Mark Speakman is set to face a challenge to his leadership today from Adelaide's own Kelly Slane. Wow, first South Australian ever to lead the Liberal Party in New South Wales.
01:37:57
Speaker 2: It's a story. It's a story for essay, s Vince. It will be saved by the calendar, won't he. Yeah, and the lack of will yeah. And look, if you're Ashton her, you know why on earth would you do it now? Why would Why would you risk being stamped a loser? I would almost say any inevitable loser you're going to lose. The argument would be because if you want to do it to the leader of a party with five seats or with with eleven, well yes, but what if she ends up leading it to the five seat win, well then that was your That's your future inevitably then, isn't it. Yeah? No, I don't think anything. I don't think it's gonna happen. You couldn't do it now, no one's paying attention to politics over Christmas and then you've got an election camp. But you can't teach someone who a new candidate is. During the election campaign.
01:38:47
