FIVEAA Breakfast with David & Will - 26 May 2026

00:00:02
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment Metro homes.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
00:00:11
Speaker 3: Live from hein Maars Square. It's five Double A Breakfast David Penberthy and Will Goodings.
00:00:23
Speaker 4: Right after six Good morning, so you're welcome to Tuesday and five Double A Breakfast is the twenty sixth of May.
00:00:29
Speaker 5: We're off to Vegas shortly.
00:00:31
Speaker 4: The Enhanced Games has begun in the last twenty four hours, and I confess I'm fascinated in this, and I'm fascinated in what appears to be the face that beyond what people imagined it has become and what it tells us about professional athletes, genetics, drug use. We spit with Rob Scott in Las Vegas very shortly. Also coming up, how can you save on heating this winter? A Choice Household expert expert Chris Barnes has some tips for you after six thirty. So if you look to save some dollars and who isn't frankly this winter, that is the segment for you. We have a Golden Sack truck nomination. Deb is going to come on before seven o'clock this morning. Dev has a story that needs to be teased out. We're going to give her the appropriate time to do that. After seven o'clock today. Phil Curry, Federal Politics. What's happening with the federal government's budget. It feels like there is some change afoot. We'll find out all the latest from Phil. We've got a jury trial, and then a little bit later we will spend a bit of time David reflecting on the remarkable life and legacy of Neil Danaher, who sadly passed away yesterday age just sixty five years of age. Yet a remarkable story of resilience given the average time of survival from a diagnosis of mnd's twenty seven months, and he made it to nearly thirteen years. And how much good did he do in that time? How much better is that movement for his extended life in the context of that awful disease.
00:01:55
Speaker 5: And good morning to you, Good morning, well, good morning listeners. Yeah, it really is incredible, isn't it. And you know, I actually think that the two things you just talked about there to kick things off this morning will actually tie because on one side, you've got a bunch of athletes who are using drugs to alter their bodies, spending vast amounts of money on an industry that I think frankly should not exist, like human growth hormone powders you can take so you look like you're Captain Caveman. Why is a single scent of money being spent on that crap? It is a testament to vanity and it completely corrupts any idea of sport being some sort of level playing field. I mean, the fact that this has been turned into some sort of quasi Olympic contest is an insult to the very concept of sport. Then the pure goodness of Danaher, someone who, as you said, facing this shocking guy and everyone knows how it ends, goes what can I do? What can I do? Any And this is where you know, so much of science comes down to money and those beanies like you, you would have bought one, I've bought one, the kids have got got There was a whole pile. Everyone in Australia's got one of these beanies.
00:03:19
Speaker 4: What the best shot in the news last night we had at seven was mcg Big Freeze Day and there was this just wonderful angle that I've never seen of the crowd at the MCG because it captured it was one of those long, focused sort of frames where you've never seen so many of just the punters of the MCG in one shot. And every single person's wearing a beanie. Yeah, it looks like one hundred thousand people. It's probably fifty five sixty from the side you're looking out of the ground, but it is unbelievable. You can't find someone who's not wearing one.
00:03:50
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's a powerful image. But what an evil, bloody disease. And you know, I'm sure people would would know, people have family and friends have gone through it because it's it's actually reasonably common, Like it's it's not like some you know, one of those minuscule, rare fine foundation type things where you have one or two people a year getting like you know, one of my mum's friends had a like and went downhill in record time. And it's just terrible because you know what's going on and you can't talk. You know, you're still yeah, your brain still work. Your brain is your brain. You can still understand things, but you can't talk, you can't respond. Amazing that technology where you can use eye movement to actually generate speech the interact with computer. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that was the thing that that got Stephen hawking.
00:04:45
Speaker 4: And it's these kind of campaigns obviously goes without saying they get money toward that kind of technology. So that's remarkable. We'll talk more about Neil Danaher after eight thirty this morning. I want how many how many of our listeners have security cameras at home? How many have cameras on your door or something similar that records during the day. Can Star have put out a survey and the Ties have some details of it on pay jeake this morning about the kinds of things people see in their security cameras at home. Twenty two percent of people of court pets bathing badly, twenty one percent court neighbors coming onto their property, neighbors and neighbors. Eleven percent saw neighbors using their outdoor items without permission. One in ten people surveyed that has a security camera at home all sorts. Ten percent of respondents caught parcels being stolen from their home. What do they call that? Porch pirates? Porch pirates. It's something that we fortunately have become aware of in the last couple of years where almost one fifth at seven. Eight percent saw parcels being damaged or mishandled during delivery, ten percent saw someone attempt to break into their home, six percent witness to break in, seven saw attempted vehicle theft, and five saw their vehicle being stolen.
00:05:54
Speaker 5: I reckon.
00:05:56
Speaker 4: A lot of people would have put them in in reaction to incidents in their street or area. So they're probably overrepresented because the probably the reason you've got them is someone's trying to do something your home or your neighbor or so that may be over sampling for that kind of behavior, but it gotta be thinking because the TV news industry doesn't exist at the moment without homes security systems.
00:06:17
Speaker 5: You guys were align a massively.
00:06:19
Speaker 4: It's every time there was a car driving erratically down a street, every single time someone's approach to home in a threatening manner, if there was a violent incident towards a house, someone generally someone in the street will have a security camera these days. Might if evern em our listeners do have had them installed or ones on the door were very common these days that you have out looking towards the street. I'd love to know why you got them. Have you ever spotted any weird behavior on them, give us a bars eight double two to three double o double. Oh wasn't a thing at all when I was a kid, No, we put the technology wouldn't have been small enough.
00:06:54
Speaker 5: Super rich people would have had some sort of security. Yeah, and stuff like that affordable now speaking, that's it. I just I don't know. I sometimes think things like that can make you even more paranoid, absolutely, because you hear about so many people who get home invaded. They've got all the gear, and like, if someone wants to get in the house, they'll get into your house. Well, yeah, that's right, it's not it doesn't stop him in the moment. No, no, And you know, you hear about a lot of those carjackings and like really flash parts of town, like those houses, you know, are places that do have security. People just jumping fences and getting in there and working out how to push the button from the inside to get out, Like it doesn't actually really seem to make any difference.
00:07:36
Speaker 4: Some of the best stories I've heard are the lowest stakes ones when it comes to security. People are going people with three kids saying, so someone left the entirety of their their lunch box in the in the in the planter pot out the front of our house.
00:07:50
Speaker 5: Anyone want to own up to it?
00:07:52
Speaker 4: Oh no, okay, well maybe we'll just gave a little squiz at the security video and find out and it works incredibly well in that scenario.
00:07:59
Speaker 5: Keep your kids underhind like full surveillance one hundred percent of the time.
00:08:05
Speaker 4: Exactly, right, Kim and Cadena. Have you got security cameras at your place?
00:08:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, we certainly have made Unfortunately, we have a rented house next door and the last couple of tenants haven't been terribly good. Recently, we caught red handed a neighbor doing drug deals.
00:08:21
Speaker 4: Oh really, seriously? Wow, So what you said you had to send your security stuff to the police.
00:08:26
Speaker 6: Yes, we certainly did, and they looked at it and a very surprised how good the footage was. But certainly to this point nothing has happened. They also vade dealers next door to us, and yeah, they say it's an ongoing investigation. So oh, it's been going on for nearly two years.
00:08:45
Speaker 5: No doesn't.
00:08:46
Speaker 4: I mean it's awful that you had to get cameras because just gone back to your house. Well, we've involved dealing with you know, and it's all a cost as well, like if you if you good enough to lease out a rental property long term to somebody who needs where to live, that's a good thing to do, putting housing stock into the market. And yeah, next thing, you know, you pay an extra for cameras to stop them dealing meth or whatever. Sally and Hillcrest, you got cameras at your place?
00:09:14
Speaker 7: We do, and I think ours is. Yeah, it was a fifth, but it was kind of funny at the same time. So the kids ordered Uber Eats and when Uber delivered, they take a photo by front door. The driver did that and then picked up the bag of food and walked back down the driveway. No, why ye came all the way to the front door, took his photo to proof he delivered it and then took off. And we had to send the footage to Uber. And it took the kids two days of arguing with them to get their refund.
00:09:48
Speaker 5: Do you got the refund in the end?
00:09:50
Speaker 7: They did? In the end, yep, But all because it was caught on camera. Otherwise Uber wouldn't have believed us because they had the photo. Priests that it was delivered.
00:10:00
Speaker 4: Probably paid for itself at that moment, I guess absolutely, Sally, what an extraordinary story. Thank you Shane and Brooklyn Park. Why have you got cameras in your place?
00:10:09
Speaker 8: Okay, well I was adamant. I was never going to get cameras.
00:10:12
Speaker 9: And then one day we Christmas time, believe it or not, one of the girls across the road, she left her bag in the actual car and that night when we had a party, the.
00:10:27
Speaker 8: Christmas party, they came some and smashed the window and broke in solar purse. She shouldn't have burst it. And then the police came around the next day.
00:10:35
Speaker 10: And they said, we can't believe it.
00:10:37
Speaker 8: This whole street there's not one camera. And that's what sparked me to think, well maybe I should get a camera now because my kids are now starting to park their carry at the street.
00:10:47
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:10:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, fascinating stories. Yeah, see how people would respond like that.
00:10:55
Speaker 4: Keep your stories coming in, folks. You go to security again, what have you ever seen anything weird like the overreached ivory just took a picture of the bag, picked it up. That's an amazing story or a the reason you put them in the first place. I'd love to hear from you. Eight double two three double o double oh.
00:11:08
Speaker 5: I like those Google Earth stories, there was one where often Brazil really punches above its weight and the weird stuff caught on camera. Yeah, there's one of this up not actually funny at all. There was one of a like an actual hold up in progress, like on the outskirts of Rio and the and the Google Maps truck went past away, but you can still stands against the wall with the machine. Great. Uh, let's head to Las Vegas.
00:11:36
Speaker 4: Rob Scott for seven News is covering this bizarre spectacle going on there at the moment, the enhanced games which Rob, based on my cursory look at some of the results, this might be the best advertisement against buying steroids that we ever could possibly have had because the records aren't exactly tumbling, and the the clean athletes seem to be.
00:11:55
Speaker 11: Winning right, twelve events and forty two athletes competing. Of the forty two, there was about five that were clean, and three of those five athletes actually.
00:12:10
Speaker 8: Won their events.
00:12:11
Speaker 11: Both the men one hundred and two hundred meters sprints were won by clean athletes and also the fifty meters backstroke one by clean athlete up against juiced up athletes. So yes, not exactly what the organizers were hoping for. But we did see one world record beaten. That was the fifty meter freestyle, and that was right at the very end of the whole games, the last race of night.
00:12:35
Speaker 12: So has got.
00:12:39
Speaker 9: Roll.
00:12:39
Speaker 4: We we've got a bad line there, but Rob sort of captured the the silliness philosophy behind it and who decided it was a good idea of some private money back at it somewhere The idea was could someone run the one hundred and eight seconds? Could someone jump fifteen meters?
00:13:00
Speaker 5: Right?
00:13:01
Speaker 4: Well, how far can the human body go? It turns out not much further than what, well, you know what six She's shown genetics plays a much bigger role than steroids, and people wondered, well, could steroids mean old athletes can compete? Turns out no. James magiuson came last in both both of his races.
00:13:22
Speaker 5: But once he didn't know his body like you look at that point he just looks ridiculous. His navel was going to be on his chin. He's head so much work down and he can't stop smiling. You can't blink. It's just terrible, you know itself. As a speak, Well, are we with let's be let's be who's the wii? Okay, I would actually controversially throwing even oz en pick, you know, like all these suddenly everyone you know losing weight. How Yeah, but that's different. No, No, I think I actually think it's not. It's not something that's going to endure. It's like sort of crash diet type stuff, like you know, it's a form of body manipulation without the effort required.
00:14:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, but so's toothpaste to keep your teeth clean. Like at some point these are all chemical agents, sunscreen to keep like we we it's about where the line is. And I think a steroid compared to a GLP one blocker as like a totally different world of chemical intervention. Like if we could have you seen that for the first week we've reached PB city, it's dropped on the other side.
00:14:29
Speaker 5: But that's just remarkable. What's happening in the world at the moment.
00:14:32
Speaker 4: Why is it going the other way because of these medications? Yeah, it's not because anyone's eating any healthier.
00:14:39
Speaker 5: Well that isn't that sort of the point though, Like isn't there a way to do it without doing Yeah?
00:14:44
Speaker 4: But but yeah, and there's like you know people shouldn't drink or smoke, or it's just human nature. Such a human nature doesn't really work like it's should.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: Knockdown build too with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:15:01
Speaker 2: Metro homes, they do it all for you.
00:15:04
Speaker 3: David Pennbervie and Will Goodings five Double A Breakfast.
00:15:10
Speaker 4: Twenty seven after six Tom Wren's disappearing voice ultimately got the better room yesterday, So we delighted to have on debut Jase Kemp from ten News Glaidier or Garage Dawes proudly and brilliantly made in South Australia gliderol dot com dot areu mild colleague?
00:15:24
Speaker 5: Good to see you, Jays, great have you in the studio, mate.
00:15:26
Speaker 13: Good to see you both too. Good morning to you both.
00:15:28
Speaker 5: Sports wise? What's happening in the world?
00:15:30
Speaker 13: Yeah, the mid season draft is tonight. All is are going to be on that. You know.
00:15:33
Speaker 14: Port Adelaide has three picks five fourteen seventeen, three spots available to probably go looking to replace their tools in Ivan Solder and Oli Lord. So probably it looks like North Adelaide ruckman Alex van Wick is their main target. He's been training at Port Adelaide for most of the year. He also plays obviously at North Adelaide, so they need a big tool down there, and.
00:15:55
Speaker 13: They also need probably another midfielder.
00:15:58
Speaker 5: So Oli Francu going to ask you about that, Josh Frank.
00:16:02
Speaker 14: He's also his coaching North Adelaide, so he could potentially get the call up as well. And they need a big body midfielder put Adelaide at the moment, someone who can get in and get their hands on it.
00:16:11
Speaker 5: So just just to clarify, Jake, so this is this is the draft where they can rape and pillage the sam That's right. Yeah, and one of the Joe, what are the s AFL clubs getting returned? Ten thousand dollars, isn't it?
00:16:26
Speaker 15: Yeah?
00:16:26
Speaker 5: Ten brands. Yeah, have an our year wrecked potentially ten thousand dollars.
00:16:33
Speaker 13: I can see both.
00:16:34
Speaker 4: And you could just recruit guys who don't want to play in the AFL and just be the third best competition in Australia listen or fourth best.
00:16:41
Speaker 5: The thing is they don't even get treated with respect when they when they go over a lot of these guys do they because they sort of end up in these holding patterns, not getting picked, then they come back again like it's there's not many great success stories of people transitioning over.
00:16:54
Speaker 14: No, but I can see both sides of the ledger. On one hand, you've got a kid who wants to play AFL is his dream to do so. On the other hand, you've had these samdful clubs that lose potentially North Adelaide about to lose a ruckman and their best midfielder.
00:17:06
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah at that point. Yeah, so that's pretty tough. I reckon Martin Matt was right the other day when he said they should get at least fifty thousand dollars love for the impact that it has and the disparity between the haves and they have nots in footy, especially if it's a guy.
00:17:22
Speaker 4: If it's a guy that you've got over, Say he's been delisted by Saint Kilda last year and you know, well he's gonna he's coming to the SNFL to get back in the AFL. I've got less sympathy when it's someone you've developed as a junior. Yeah yeah, and it's come through your system and then they're taken off calendar. I've got a lot of sympathy for that that kind of thing, which is that's the Frankly situation.
00:17:42
Speaker 5: I guess it.
00:17:43
Speaker 4: So, yeah, you're right that that maybe there should be a tiered financial compensation system where you get way more money for twenty your own juniors.
00:17:50
Speaker 5: I should just teach young footballers that they that their career has reached its absolute zenith playing in the seriously just quickly.
00:18:01
Speaker 4: Tanasi ye cocknas.
00:18:03
Speaker 13: Kokonak has had a massive win at the French Open.
00:18:06
Speaker 14: He came back from two sets to one down, maybe rallied four hours he played and he came back from you know that awful petrol situation where he's actually had his whole petrol muscle detached and he had to have surgery to fix it. Amazing victory. He said, it's one of the best of his career. So he goes through to the second round. Also Alex Demeno straight through in straight sets as well.
00:18:28
Speaker 4: Say that's terrific news. Hasn't been happy and hunting ground for Australians over the years of the Frenchise, so that's good news. Yeah, thanks for stepping into sea boys.
00:18:39
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment metro homes.
00:18:46
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
00:18:47
Speaker 3: Deevid pen Berthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:18:53
Speaker 4: Twenty two to seven can start put out some survey data regarding the weird things people see on their security Camera's got us thinking this more about our listeners. They've got security cameras, why did you put them in? Have you ever seen anything strange? Lots of stories coming through on the text line. You can call us to an eight double two three double o double like Raymond in Salisbury Planes has Raymond good morning to you.
00:19:12
Speaker 16: Yeah, good morning, Will, Good morning David, and good morning Adelaide.
00:19:15
Speaker 4: Tell us about your security cameras well.
00:19:18
Speaker 16: I had the misfortune of having a parcel stolen from my porch at home, which prompted me to get security camera for home. But the other thing was I have an Airbnb and I found that I had a lot of people booking the place to save one or two people, and they'd be like six or seven people rock up. So in an effort to counter that, because I charged per head after the first tea, I had a security camera fuit in to the front of the house to see how many people were actually rocking up.
00:19:51
Speaker 5: Well that's fair enough, Raymon, because you need to pay for all the cleaning. So if suddenly six people have been used, you're on the hook for the cost of the laundry exactly.
00:20:00
Speaker 16: And you know it's set up to like six people. But you know, if people are rocking up and there's a heap of them and using up all water and bits and pieces, and yeah, it's not right, is it. So yeah, Unfortunately I had to go down the road of putting a camera in to catch a few of these people out and you know, it paid for itself pretty quickly, unfortunately.
00:20:20
Speaker 4: But it's a common theme that's coming through Raymond. Thank you for that, Raymond and Salisbury Planes. It feels like Australians reluctant to put in security cameras in their home. They do so out of necessity and then they end up going actually it was a good decision. That's certainly the theme that's coming through with our callers this morning. Let's talk about heating your home. Chris Barnes is a household expert with Choice and we wanted to get Chris on to talk about some of the little tips and tricks you can use as we're started to get into the cool winter months. I mean, for example, right now it's ten point two degrees outside, it feels like eight point three. We're getting to some seriously cool sorts of mornings. Chris, good morning to you. What's sort of the low.
00:20:57
Speaker 5: Hanging fruit in terms of warming your home but not breaking the bank?
00:21:02
Speaker 10: Yeah, good morning. Look, it certainly is time to start thinking about keeping warm. Look, I always like to break this down into about three different things to think about. What do you need to do about your home, what's the best appliance to heat the room that you're in, And then you know, maybe just look about look at heating yourself directly instead of trying to heat up the whole room or the whole house. So simple tricks for improving your home now. Most Australian homes are pretty drafty, so a lot of that heat gets lost out under the door or around the cracks around the window. So give your house a good checkout. Do you have ceiling insulation, that's a big heat loss that could be worth looking into. Get the old door snakes out, stop the drafts under the door, check around the window frames. That's often where some heat loss happens. And good window coverings and floor coverings make a big difference as well. So even if you can't invest in something major like seatation, you can still roll out the rugs, put out the door snakes, and do a lot to just keep that teat inside the home.
00:22:07
Speaker 5: To your third point, Chris, I was a late onset convert to the cause of the ugboot. I can't imagine life without ugg boots now in winter. They are brilliant and like if the odd saying, if you've got if your feet are warm, generally everything else is going to be okay. Like there is a lot of you said for not responding to a drop in temperature by immediately working out which switch you can put on? You can you can self regulate a bit, can't you.
00:22:35
Speaker 10: Oh totally yeah. And look I'm wearing my sheepskin slippers right now, so yeah, I'm a big believer as well. Look, it sounds sounds silly to say, but the cheapest appliants to run is the one that you don't turn on, you know, so put on a jumper. You know all that old advice that mum and dad or grandparents is to tell us that's that's a that's a big one if you and if you do have to turn on appliants, if the jumper and the slippers aren't enough, you can look at something like an electric blanket or a heated throw instead of heating up the whole room. Now, that's going to be a lot cheaper to run over a winter and turning on the air conditioner or putting on the portable electric heater for example.
00:23:18
Speaker 5: When it comes to the power stuff, though, Chris doy does choice have a sort of preference about you know, what's the best way to go duckted, refrigerated or vary from home to home, doesn't it?
00:23:28
Speaker 10: Oh, look it does vary a lot from home to home. But look long, in the long run, reverse cycle air conditioning is the most energy efficient way to actually heat a large space. It will save your money in the long term. Obviously you've got a bit of an upfront investment with that one. Yeah. Portable electric heaters as another example, very cheap, well reasonably cheap to buy, very convenient. You know, you can move them from room to room, but in the long run they will cost you a bomb to run, especially if you're thinking of trying to maybe put a couple of them on throughout the house to keep the room swarm. That will cost you a lot. Just to give you a quick example, a small reverse cycle aicon over winter that probably cost you in the order of one hundred and fifty dollars to run. A small gas eater roughly equivalent in heating more closer to three hundred, and a portable electric heater again roughly the same in terms of heat output, going to cost you over four hundred dollars over winter to run. Now you can see how over a few winters that's going to add up pretty quickly.
00:24:29
Speaker 4: It's great information, Chris, Thank you for there. Chris Barnes Choices household expert on some of those ways you can keep their house warm but not spend a fortune doing it. We've got tips of your own, folks. We'd like to hear them. Make double two to three double O double. How do you stay? Chris jog my memory then the door snake. Mum was big on the door snakes, and my brother and I used to use them to built the hell out of each other.
00:24:52
Speaker 5: Oh they're good too, they were just weaponized. Oh yeah, they got a right amount of weight, like grains of wheat. Yes, like you can really smash them quite comprehensive.
00:25:01
Speaker 4: If you get if you hit him at the right angle, you get a whiplash a bit.
00:25:05
Speaker 5: I was reminded during that chat of Jimmy Carter. He was famously pillory for that address to the nation during the oil shock where he said my first advice would be wear a sweater and people, how out of touch. It's actually really good advice, as it turns out. O boots. Yes, you need an you need a pair of ug boots. It just you know the moment, it's like.
00:25:27
Speaker 4: The last weeks, they raise your bat body temperature by about three degrees the moment you put them on.
00:25:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all is good in the world when you've got.
00:25:34
Speaker 4: Boots scientifically tested. That that's any And I don't.
00:25:36
Speaker 5: Think there's anything wrong with wearing them down to the supermarket either. I'm an advocate of the ugg boot as outdoor where maybe not to a restaurant, no job interview, ah no, probably not court appearance, food land drakes.
00:25:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so this is Australia to stand for something exactly. Let's go to Haley Bitch Andy. You've got security cameras that you applies.
00:26:03
Speaker 17: Yeah, good morning guys. How are. We had nothing everything, never had a bit of trouble ever until we got the old off road caravan out, put the roof up on it to air it. One day, one sunny day to head to the off road into the Flinders. So we had the caravan setting the driveway door open and we were putting on a new game and at brand spanking new regenerate a reflat television, kettle toasted everything you need to be sustainable off road. We went back indoors, had a bat of lunch, came back out. Everything was gone.
00:26:38
Speaker 5: No oh no, you might really.
00:26:41

Within the space of half an hour we went back out and I'm looking about gone generator. She must have moved it somewhere, or she must have moved that somewhere. Went back in. What did you do with a TV in this? Nothing? Nothing? Next some bugger had get in the stone of a whole lot. Yeah we've got cameras. Yeah, we've got cameras. So it's a good to Terran. If you don't have cameras, you if you've not had trouble, it's a deterrant because these buggers are going about the suburbs. Even now it's worse just checking on doors looking for opportunities.
00:27:23
Speaker 5: You know, where was the Where was the caravan when this happened?
00:27:27
Speaker 17: Andy in the driveway?
00:27:29
Speaker 5: Charge just to your home? Wow?
00:27:31
Speaker 17: Yeah, and up the side of the house. And there was a summer's day it was broad daylight.
00:27:36
Speaker 5: Unbelievable. It's amazing, man Edie, thank you.
00:27:39
Speaker 4: A lot of stories like that coming through a double two three, double O double I was the number.
00:27:43
Speaker 5: This is good.
00:27:44
Speaker 4: Joe on the text line says as an ex court officer Ogg boots Worthy quote uniform for court appearances, so shows vouching for the for the book being worn to court. All right, let's say to the way the bureau. Hannah Marsh joins us, how do we I've been talking about keeping your house woman saving money because it is cool at the moment. In the mornings, good morning to you.
00:28:05
Speaker 18: Absolutely, good morning. We've had minimums range from three point two degrees at Nauiepa up to ten point five degrees at nor Longer. We've had a minimum of nine point three, sorry, nine point eight in the city, and we're currently sitting on ten point three degrees.
00:28:20
Speaker 19: Now.
00:28:21
Speaker 18: The low pressure system that has brought us that shower activity yesterday and overnight has continued to move very slowly just to the northwest of Kangaroo Island. There is the chance that we do see as spot or two as we head it through today, but not expecting much in it for the metropolitan area. Looking at maximums of eighteen degrees in the City Elizabeth and Glen Elk and no longer and seventeen from Mount bark At today and then again tomorrow. Just the chance of a shower or two and nineteen degrees partly clady in eighteen for Thursday, before we see another frontal system bring the return of activity for the weekend.
00:29:01
Speaker 5: Good stuff, Henny, Thanks for that, Hennah Marster at the Weather Bureau. Good rain at the moment.
00:29:06
Speaker 4: It certainly is. It's nice and consistent. Let's say to say, Paul Sending against Ball, Jen Callen and joins us Jen. Four men have been arrested in a stolen car at West Sebenen.
00:29:15
Speaker 20: Yes, that's right, good morning. It was just after ten o'clock last night when police spotted an Azuzu ute on Glen Osmond Road which was bearing stolen plates. Now they didn't attempt to stop the vehicle but called in Pola to assist from above, and the ute was followed onto Anne Street at West Ebendham where it actually collided with an unmarked police Dog Operations vehicles. Luckily there was no injuries there, but all four men ran from the scene, Two were located nearby and two fled to a nearby roof. So after a short amount of negotiations, they both came down without incident. But those four men were all aged between nineteen and thirty three. They've been arrested and charged with illegal use and they're all going to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today. So the vehicles actually had been stolen from Sojuna earlier this month.
00:30:05
Speaker 5: Jin also a serious crash in the far North.
00:30:08
Speaker 20: Yeah, and this was just aff to twelve thirty this morning, emergency services have been called to the Stuart Highway, about one hundred kilometers north of Glen Dambo after reports of that collision between a road train and a vehicle. Now the Stuart Highway is currently closed in both directions and is expected to close for some time. So we do ask if moturists are traveling north to please stop at Glen Dambo and those that are traveling Stouth should stop at Kuba ped Major crash investigators are en route to the scene and we do anticipate that road to be closed for quite some time.
00:30:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a bit of a disturbing story there too, Jen, thank you for that, Senior Constable Jen Cullenan from Sapol. I really like how good mate Rob's proposal here or not a proposal, he says, he's already doing it. He says he's taking part in the Unenhanced Games, which is just a bunch of overweight blokes on the couch watching sports seeing who can eat the most chips.
00:31:05
Speaker 4: That sounds like I could. I could hold my own in that competition. I think that's that's well within the Remit exit work.
00:31:11
Speaker 5: We organized this thing years ago with some mate the Crown Anchor Pub Olympics where we got there are a whole bunch of bands that play. But it was a Sunday and there were there were all these different divisions, all these different competitions, darts, pinball. There was running around the block as well, so there was a sprint around but from memory you had to do it while holding a jug of a drink that a mate of mine had invented, which was called the while of Sunrise, which was half fan to half Mozelle. Seriously a gross yeah. And it had got to the point Don was the publican Don Copeland, Hope Don's listening to the show. He works in wineries down south now, great bloke, very tolerant man. But I got to the point at the cranker where you could walk in and say I'll have a wiler, thanks, and they knew exactly what to give you. It must be the Olympics that had Pinbot as well, Pinbot one of the all time great pinball machines.
00:32:13
Speaker 4: Did you it's your favorite turn of froze? But did you Meddle?
00:32:17
Speaker 5: I think I did all right in the darts.
00:32:19
Speaker 1: Here knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:32:28
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:32:30
Speaker 3: Deep and pen Burthy and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.
00:32:37
Speaker 5: Five to seven.
00:32:38
Speaker 4: We've been inundated with Golden Sack Truck nominations, many of which will read out on a Golden Sack Truck Nomination Day which is on Friday, and will ultimately award the sack truck. Some though, deserve more immediate attention, and so we bring you Deb Trengove, who sent us her story. Deb's on the line now, Deb, good morning to you.
00:32:58
Speaker 7: Hi.
00:32:59
Speaker 5: How are you tell us what happened to you?
00:33:02
Speaker 21: Well, it was actually towards the end of last year now, but I have two elderly aunts who live in McLaren Street in the city to stop Hutt Street and ninety five and eighty nine. They live independently, and they recently sort of can't drive so much. So I organized to go and pick them up for to take them out for family coffee. And I picked them up and we dropped them home, my husband and I and they're both struggling a bit with mobility, so they've got walking sticks and things. And I pulled up at their house to drop them off afterwards at about eleven o'clock on a Sunday morning, and I pulled up across their driveway because they do still have a car in their driveway. I pulled out, I was driving, I stopped, I had my brake lights on. My husband actually jumped out of the car to open the doors for them to let them out, so that they could just get to their driveway and get it into their house. We were literally there two minutes, and a few weeks later I got an eighty dollar fine for stopping on a yellow line, which I didn't even realize had been added there. Apparently it's only been put there in more recent times. So I thought, well, this is ridiculous. I'll write a very you know, slight letter to counsel and say this is.
00:34:26
Speaker 15: What I was doing.
00:34:27
Speaker 21: I can I can, you know, get my aunties to write a declaration if you want to that the age app anyway. I got a letter back saying this doesn't fit the criteria for exemption. If you want to, if you want to take it further, you can go to the arson or go to court.
00:34:45
Speaker 5: That is ridiculous, that is outrageous.
00:34:48
Speaker 21: We were literally there for two minutes.
00:34:50
Speaker 5: Well that's it, so of the yellow lies, but also the fact that it was their car. So how are you going to block in the dway in your car?
00:34:59
Speaker 21: That's that's right, that's right. So my auntie was at the ninety five year old who's got a bit of spunk about her.
00:35:07
Speaker 7: She took it.
00:35:08
Speaker 21: She was disgusted. So she wrote a letter to the council also got the same answer and got stick to another person and they just said, you know, too bad, you know, that's the rule, and they and she actually rang them and said, well, what what do you want us to do? You know, we're elderly people were getting picked up in taxis. Kids are picking us up. And they said, well, just you'll have to just stop in the middle of the road.
00:35:34
Speaker 5: You know, stop in the middle of the road.
00:35:37
Speaker 21: So that would block the one way lane that they're in and we'd have to stop in and so if they have to read or anything, they just got to stop in the middle of the road.
00:35:47
Speaker 5: See, deb I actually know the area you were talking about exactly because in nineteen ninety I lived in the sharehouse in McLaren Street. It's one of the narrowest and prettiest streets in the city of Adelaide. Beautiful tucked in there and I can't remember the name of the cafe. Used to be cafe.
00:36:04
Speaker 21: Yeah, there's there's a bar on the corner of their litteraria or something like that, but there used to be a bank when they've been there for thirty five years, so well changed a lot. But the parking's a nightmare and the other and the other suggestion they had was that we moved my auntie's car out of the driveway when we're coming to pick them up, So my ninety five year old Auntie would have to drive around into Halifax or park somewhere else, which is only one or two hours anyway, and then walk back with her walking stick so that we could pull into her driveway to pick her up.
00:36:43
Speaker 5: It's so silly, I mean, there needs to be some sort of more pragmatism with the street that is that narrow. I mean, it was one of the good things about Sydney, like Beao main places like that. People stop in all sorts of weird spots, but you know they're only doing it briefly because otherwise.
00:36:57
Speaker 22: They're in or out exactly.
00:36:59
Speaker 7: So it must have been a cart.
00:37:01
Speaker 21: We assume it was a car camera because you know, I don't know how they do it. But is there a mobile car or something that takes photos?
00:37:09
Speaker 5: Now photos? Maybe?
00:37:11
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, So my Auntie thinks that that perhaps was what it was. But eleven o'clock on a Sunday morning, give us a break.
00:37:19
Speaker 5: Honestly, Indeed, that is one hand on the golden sack so some good has come of this.
00:37:25
Speaker 4: That is the morality of a comic book villain is it is as though all of these decisions are determined by an artificial intelligence. I can't believe the human being heres any of these stories, but clearly they do.
00:37:38
Speaker 5: I just I just can't fathom there's clearly one human being at least that the Adelaide Hills counselor heard that there was one, yes, one complaint about dogs being located at a cafe four dogs and went, well, I'd better act on this.
00:37:54
Speaker 4: Their hands were tired as well, their.
00:37:56
Speaker 5: Hands are tired. There was a problem and there was no thing we could do about it.
00:38:01
Speaker 4: And how the lovel does dead sound and her family driving a ountd of elderly relatives. Yeah, we're really cracking down on society's miscreants at local government level.
00:38:10
Speaker 5: I tell you what came attention that some people are spending several seconds unloading their infirm elderly relatives to have coffee with them.
00:38:17
Speaker 4: Will step out that kind of silliness, not on my watch.
00:38:23
Speaker 1: Just knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:38:31
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:38:33
Speaker 3: Deep Plen Berthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast, seven after seven.
00:38:42
Speaker 4: Good morning to if you're joining us on this Tuesday, the twenty sixth and May other cool sort of a start. Some breaking news in the world of the AFL. Brad Scott has been sacked as the coach of the Exton Football Club. That's really just information out of Victoria. We don't have anything in the way of official statement or anything yet. And how the mighty have fallen the Eslon Football Club sitting Stone motherless last one and ten, just four points from their first.
00:39:15
Speaker 5: He was on one of the shows last week and he had the sort of flustered countenance of a doomed man where he was armed with all the statistics of how they improved these KPIs and those KPIs, and it was like that sounds like an exit interview, not a going forward type interview.
00:39:31
Speaker 4: It's hard to fathom when you consider that invincible side they had in the year two thousand where they lost what one game to the Bulldogs they flagged No, I think they won. It was just it was just that one.
00:39:46
Speaker 5: I thought they won a few I reckon. It was just that one year.
00:39:50
Speaker 4: That that remarkable side that the futility of the next twenty six years and twenty five years, it's hard to get your head around. So anyway, that's news literally just just out. Well, it's a great question in the mix. Well, Ken Hinckley is certainly someone that's been talked about at the moment. Depends if they want to go down the retread or the you know, it's awful turn of phrase, the experience coach or the or someone you but the experience coaches that have been talked about for these jobs, and obviously Tazzy's looming are people like Nathan Buckley and Ken Hinckley, and there'll be others that drop out Adam Simpson and still sort of gets talked about despite how the West Coast ten years sort of ended. So that is some breaking news out of the AFL. That just is to hand. This morning, lot's happening in Canberra. Phil Curry will bring us up to speed with what the concessions are likely to be around the capital gains tax changes announced at the federal budget wide consultation with industry that is getting wider by the minute. Read it about what you will, but it would seem like things are going to change between now and when this legislation's ultimately brought before Parliament.
00:40:57
Speaker 5: Philill talk a little bit about that.
00:40:58
Speaker 4: He'll talk about the politics of bun it all together, which means if the Coalition wants to vote against the changes, they'll be voting against the tax cut, which will be the politics of how this ultimately blut plays out.
00:41:11
Speaker 5: So I'll tell you what the thing that really sticks in micro is that the philosophy behind a lot of the budget is obviously, we can't go on spending forever, and that's one of the sort of arguments that they've used to justify things like pulling the rug out from under older Australians with the private health insurance rebate that they no longer get when they turn sixty five, so you've got to keep paying at the rate that you were. Well, what's good for the goose is good for the gend houses it. At the same time everyone else has been told, look, we can't keep sort of living on the never never. We're hearing it in the NDS where they're trying to save billions of dollars by tightening that up well. Front page of The Australian Today, Chris Bowen has assembled an army of more than one hundred bureaucrats to help him with his cop president mission. This is the big Climate Organization. Apartment has billed taxpayers almost half a million dollars in just four months to tend the officials overseas to assist the climate change minister with his global green negotiations. Taxpayers will be slugged almost one hundred and fifty million dollars for mister Bowen's role as Climate of the Party's president. So that again, one hundred and fifty million dollars. Yeah, that's just so we can travel around negotiating with all of these people at this quango. And as part of the bill, the government approved his staff to spend four hundred and eighty five thousand, six hundred and two dollars, so just shy of half a million bucks on trips to Turkey, Fiji, Germany and Korea between January and February this year. They all flew business class. There were twenty five return flights on every occasion, always business class. The flights alone were three hundred and forty five thousand dollars. And this is the bill that really sticks in my This included at least thirty employees who were directly employed in what's known as mister Bowen's quote Office of the President thirty and he calls it the office of the present Office of the President. Good lord.
00:43:14
Speaker 4: Here he is on sunrise in just the last few moments defending that travel, that range of travel, claims they.
00:43:22
Speaker 12: Would have they would have flown the normal standard of travel for public servantship, which is business class, which is the same under all governments.
00:43:28
Speaker 23: And again to Fiji that's three hours from Sydney.
00:43:31
Speaker 12: Well and again like yes, Scott Morrison took thirty people to cop in Gayscope had no influence, It had no influence.
00:43:40
Speaker 22: Talk about now.
00:43:42
Speaker 23: You know, you guys have been in for four years, so it's probably good to talk about you guys. So do you think it's appropriate for public servants to be flying business class on a three or four?
00:43:52
Speaker 12: From from looking, there's always there's always a value for there's always a value for money assessment given to every travel. You know, where they should go, whether it can be done virtually, et cetera.
00:44:04
Speaker 4: Jeez, I mean, you know what, in a nutshell, there is the one nation vote completely the people hear that, and so I've had enough enough of this.
00:44:16
Speaker 5: The one nation vote, it's it's also the till vote.
00:44:19
Speaker 4: It's yeah, oh yeah, just going yeah, what's the Did you see the latest poll overnight? The Green vote has crept up significantly. It's a population of people that are sick of this. Well, Scott, Scott Morrison, they did it now, so we can do it.
00:44:33
Speaker 5: And it's just lame. It's pathetic. There's another thing that I just started looking at it this morning and just started, I'm watching it now just swearing profanities on the balcony as I was watching it before the start of the show. There's someone I've never heard of from Western Australia, Senator Ellie Whittaker, who's has his new trend of doing all these social media posts to talk about politics. She's done a video where she's holding a plastic like a little like one of those squishy toys. She's got a squishy zebra and a squishy giraffe and they've each got a house and they've got different colored balls, and she's explaining how negative gearing works and how the giraffe's getting too many balls from the zebra, and you know, it's sort of like play school style, there's talking about people's actual long standing financial arrangements to fund their retirements, to set their kids up, to make sure that some of the benefits from the hard work they did through their lives is passed on to their own children. And you've got some two hundred k a year hack. It's probably been put in there because she kissed the right factional butt. Total sort of public sector job security and everything else come up through the ranks, and you think you will put that what a tin year can you have? In the same way Bowen and this spending and the explanation.
00:46:05
Speaker 4: Treating the taxpayer with absolute contempt, because what you're actually hearing is what they think of you. They think you hear will Scott Morrison said, well they did it, and so you'll go, oh, well they think you'll see someone playing with toy blocks and go oh that's interesting. Is that how it all works? They think you're stupid? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's actually a worldwide phenomenon now it is where it is of collapse, labors collapsing in Britain, like people just at the point where you feed people enough bullshit long enough and eventually they just check out. Well look It's like fashion, isn't it. It's more sophisticated than fashion, But it's a bit like fashion because we're all connected by social media now, and you can look over and go, well, if it's good enough for them, why are we captured by the two party system? If it works in that country, why are we sitting here putting up with this kind of infantile explanation of very serious concepts they're affecting people.
00:47:06
Speaker 5: It's actually really serious though, because I don't know what a one nation government would look like. And I thought that Scott Paipe the Barefoot in vestimatee a good passing point in his column on Sunday where he said, so what are we now at a point where like the biggest economic policy Paul enhancements every announced was when she was asked, well are you going to pay for some of your eyas, she said, we'll just print more money. Well that's not made up, that's what she actually said. But equally, these little snippets tell a Biggert story. There's a program on Inside and SBS this week about the rise of one nation, and there's this guy in the crowd. He just looks like a normal knock about bloke and he's asked, you know, what do you think of one nation's policies and agender and do you actually know what they are? And he just looks at the camera and goes, well, it couldn't be worse than anything we've got now. And that's a really hard argument to counter. Could you hear that shit from Chris Bowen and you look at the from that no name senator from Western Australia anything stuff?
00:48:03
Speaker 4: The lot is yes, this is reaping season for one nation. Teals and the Greens be're absolutely right. Hey, here's a palate cleanser. Have a listened to Neil Danaher's Australian of the Year speech or a little bit of it from just last year.
00:48:17
Speaker 19: In my lifetime, I hope we find the underlying causes of M and D, better treatments and ultimately a cure. But beyond that, I hope to leave a legacy that says this, no matter the odds, no matter that diagnosis, we all have the power to choose to fight, to choose our attitude, to choose to smile, and to choose to do something. Because the mark of a person isn't what they say, it's what they do tonight. I'm grateful and honored to be Australian.
00:48:52
Speaker 4: Of the Year, spend that time remarkably, spent his last thirteen years on this earth remarkably. Also to about it last night. This is a man that was beloved before this happened. Yeah, but this is a really good human being that people loved in footy, great character, warm human being that just people liked or and this awful tragedy perfalls him and then he fights it like he did and in the process changes the entire nation's perception of this disease and raises so much money in the process of fighting it. We're going to talk after eight thirty today and I think this is going to be probably the best interview you're going to hear today with the CEO of the M and D Australia, Claire Sullivan, about the legacy of deal Danaherts. So make sure you don't miss that a little bit later on five to Blawe Breakfast.
00:49:38
Speaker 5: Hell have a lot of texts to the conversation we're having earlier about this Chris bow and stuff. Brent says, So Chris Bowen and his flying circus couldn't give Australia into two hundred and seventy five dollars in electricity. Help has promised, Yet they can take that money to jet wherever they want at exorbitant rates. What a farce. A mountain and mountain of texts along those lines, and Helen says, we're all being treated to like village idiots. Indeed, thank you for that, Helen.
00:50:03
Speaker 4: I want to go back, just briefly, because Rob's text made me chuckle with regard to Deb calling us before seven o'clock this morning with a golden sack truck nomination. She says, our government, this is Rob can't find seven billion dollars worth of illegal tobacco. But you stopped for ten seconds on or near a yellow line and we are on the spot, quivering with anticipation and photographing the crime. This is remarkable. Where did you get the yellow line? People in charge of organized crime? Yeah, yeah, imagine that we did.
00:50:29
Speaker 5: To flip the switch, flip the script. Notice I reckon by Friday, the Iranian cartels smuggling illegal darts in Australian with surrender. All right, buddy, and get on the Charles Council. Let's give away some best of SA tickets. Yeah.
00:50:43
Speaker 4: We we are just a couple of weeks away from our big night and it's going to be the biggest one I've ever had, celebrating fifty years of five double A. In the process, we're celebrating wonderful South Australian businesses like hard Courts.
00:50:56
Speaker 24: Today we're celebrating hard Courts Port Adelaide Largs Bay, led by lister who I just happened to.
00:51:02
Speaker 13: Have with me right now.
00:51:03
Speaker 24: Why did you bring an office to put Adelaide Lards Bay?
00:51:06
Speaker 25: Well, I sat an opportunity here in the port with all the new developments going up along the coast, a lot of heritage buildings that haven't been used for quite some time that are now coming to life. And my building included obviously new pubs, new restaurants opening up, the new shopping districts that have been built here. A lot of people have sort of moved out this way. We've helped a lot of people move from north or south to go west. It's been a bit of a draw card. The investment that's coming along the coast, with new developments and renovations and businesses moving here. It's certainly one to watch.
00:51:36
Speaker 24: If someone's deciding to sell or just thinking about it. What are the key benefits of getting in touch with you and your team.
00:51:41
Speaker 25: I think it's more so our experience in the area and in the space of real estate, negotiating to get the best price and also help people find their forever homes. We have an experienced team that are keen to help and we treat every front like family. Just get in touch with us, let us know what you're looking for, and we can try and help you find something.

Yeah, get in touch, let us know and we'll try and find your dream home.
00:52:08
Speaker 24: What do you love about this area?
00:52:09
Speaker 25: I think the fact that I grew up here and coming back to where I grew up is sort of something that's special to me. I know more about the area and it's good to see it from when I was younger to now than to be part of that change is pretty special.
00:52:21
Speaker 24: Lastly, where can we find your office?
00:52:24
Speaker 25: Seventy one Saint Vincent Street, Port Adelaide. You'll see it. It's fully renovated, from top to bottom and they're excited to see it to meet anyone that wants to come in.

00:53:07
Speaker 4: Twenty six after seven Lauren Rose on seven News last night broke an exclusive story and a remarkable story that tells among the saddest stories about the homelessness crisis in South Australia at the moment, and it features a group of men who call Edinburgh Reserve in Modbury home. They've set up a tense city a group of men there who some of them have just gotten out of prison. They say, there's literally nowhere for them to go. There is nowhere for them to live. So they've set up They've been given tarps by some generous people and they've just made do in this park. Now, the locals there feel unsafe. They are sympathetic, but they are surprised at how this has developed close to them, but are universally sympathetic to the plight of these people. They get it there's nowhere for them to go. Well, no one's done more than our next guest to try and find them lodgings. Sonya Blackwell is a local who just decided someone needed to do something and has tried to become that midway point between these homeless bokes and emergency accommodations. Sonya, good morning to you.
00:54:15
Speaker 5: Good morning, So Sonya, can you give us a bit of a sense of how what this group looks like, how many people there are and how long have they been there? Oh?
00:54:25
Speaker 22: Look, there's eight blokes down there altogether, staying along that section of the creek. They've been there now for probably almost a couple of months. I put them there because it's very close to the South Asian Army where they can go and get breakfast and have a shower. And it was a place that I thought would have minimum impact on residents because there's no immediate residence in that area. It's sort of a little bit far away, So I thought that was an ideal spot to keep them until we got them housing.
00:54:58
Speaker 5: So how is it with all of the Is it because of all the homeless providers are so stretched at the moment or are they the wrong type of housing providers? Do these guys have unique needs having just come out of jail.
00:55:12
Speaker 22: Look, I've been supporting a homeless community now for several years, and it's my view that the government is doing it all wrong. They are actively keeping people on the streets because they have unrealistic expectations. M but in the models they have not just not working well.
00:55:34
Speaker 5: This clearly isn't a solution though, Is it like a long term You can't just have people living in parks indefinitely?
00:55:40
Speaker 22: Oh, definitely not.
00:55:42
Speaker 5: So what's the hope?
00:55:45
Speaker 22: Well, my hope is that the government will do things differently. I mean, what they're doing at the moment is not good enough. They've paid a heap of not for profits to to holistically deal with homeless communities and there's a six months up to a six month waiting list just for case management. So if we get these guys signed up and engaging, there's still a six months wait the other side of winter. So what do they do in the meantime? Council keep giving them a move on orders, but they're not providing an alternative location for them to go, and they have to go somewhere because they're our residents. Just because they don't have a house, there's still our residence. We need to look after them.
00:56:25
Speaker 4: If you hadn't gotten involved, on you, who would be dealing with these guys or would they just.
00:56:29
Speaker 22: Be They would be probably taken off by the police by now and locked up just for existing. It's absolutely terrible what's happening. And unfortunately with the council by laws, they won't give them permission to camp there. And unfortunately the rate players are the ones that have the power. If the rate players ring up or email counsel saying we want something done, Council immediately jump into action. Where the homeless people have no rights.
00:56:57
Speaker 5: At all causing any trouble though, sonya are their problems with drugs or alcohol? Is there anything like that happening?
00:57:05
Speaker 22: That virtually comes with the homeless community. However, these guys have I've monitored very closely and we've worked with counsel and they've really tried very very hard to do the right thing. They're keeping their camp clean. Unfortunately, though, residents create lots of issues, They make false complaints, they target these individuals, they steal from them, They just don't want them there, and they're willing to make up any story to get rid of them. And this is the problem we have over and over again. You know, residents can be quite bullied about it and target people living on the streets. Unfortunately.
00:57:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah, that's that may be true, but equally it's true the other way. I mean, I think in multiple examples of people going about their business who've actually been attacked by homeless people, and often that is a part of a biggest story evolving inadequate mental health, inadequate drugs, spaces, the housing. But it doesn't also alter the fact that people sleeping rough can actually be the protagonists of unpleasant stuff. So I wouldn't I wouldn't totally go back and.
00:58:10
Speaker 4: The rest of the point in the end that it shouldn't be people that are living next to a reserve and probably local government. It shouldn't be up to those mechanisms to try and solve the homelessness crisis.
00:58:21
Speaker 5: Well, yes, there's a lot going on.
00:58:23
Speaker 4: How do we get to this is the point where local residence having to sort it out? Thank you, Sonya, thank you, thank you Sonya. Advocate for those local people as well. Yeah, we'd love to hear from them. Eight double two three double a double call in a remarkable story and what is an extraordinary state of affairs?
00:58:44
Speaker 1: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes. They do it all for you.

We're gonna have another count for the Cabaret in just a moment, involving lollies again. Well, I don't know what it's going to be. We'll find out very shortly, but GPS, if you want to contest. Call in right now. Eight double two to three double o double is the number you will have to count something. You won't actually have to counties have to guess how many of something there is exactly right. You could be like the count and in the process you might win tickets to see Alfie Bow as well as winning a night's accommodation of the Intercontinental Adelaide.
00:59:40

Send a book your tickets now Cabaret Festival, Adelaid Cabaret Festival, dot com dot a. You forget calling now. If you want to contest, you need to be on the line. And when we do the count for the Cabaret at eight double two three double o double oh. In the meantime, let's head to Canberra. Phil Curry, the Political letter of the Australian Financial Review, joins us, maybe we could count how many changes they're going to be to the government's capital gains tax changes, because it feels like this there's a series of revisions in coming.
01:00:13
Speaker 26: Look, it's very weird. They're going to pass the legislation. Then they're going to negotiate changes and bring in more legislation and enact the changes. So it's all got really overtly political. I don't think there's going to be many I wouldn't get too excited.
01:00:27
Speaker 8: They're not.
01:00:28
Speaker 26: They're not sort of leaning into this idea of broad, broad exemptions for small business. So this is the application of capital gains tax to a business. So you sell the business and how much CGT you pay when you sell. This is the most controversial aspect of the budget to so many people something realize that business may not be as worth as much as they thought it was because I've changed the tax on them. And but the sort of main concern is for these startups and stuff. So if you start from zero, the business is worth nothing, is started for nothing, then there's actually no there's no starting point to base a capital bas exituction. So what it means in effect is you're entitled with no exemption when you're sell the business. So it's just one of these huge oversights when they rush this stuff. So they announced yesterday they're going to put the legislation in next week and it's going to have everything tied together. So it's sort of overtly political tactic that if the Coalition votes against the bill, they will also be voting for the tax cuts that come with the budget. So that's one of these sort of gotcha pieces of legislation. And then then the negotiation with the small business sector and the Tech Council of these sort of people to see what they can tarve out, so we're won't.
01:01:37
Speaker 5: See so that tacnic though, Phil, what do they call it, the omnivous bill legislation legislation?
01:01:44
Speaker 26: Yeah, you put it, you put a delivererate wedge in the bill.
01:01:48
Speaker 5: But isn't that isn't that based on a flawed assumption on Labour's part that the people of Australia are licking their lips at the sheer excitement of getting their code of payment.
01:01:58
Speaker 26: You're given their four dollars eighty one a week in two year's time. Yeah yeah, but this is how I look. It's just how the government rolls. It's always the politics first and everything else second. And you know, the budget sell hasn't gone well with two weeks to day since they handed it down and it's still getting a fairly hard time out there, and so I think one of the big errors they made, and it was I think it's what everyone's like, Ken Henry to Martin Parkers. And these are former secretaries of the Treasury who worked for labor governments. You know, they did all the tax changes under Paul Keeting, and they're involved in the GST. And the thing they're saying is the government's made a lot of losers in this budget and there's no winners. And if you want to do something, you know, and call it reform, you've got to have winners analysers so that the winners offset the losers. If you remember when John how did the GST. I mean, that was very tough, that was much bigger than this stuff. But we all got massive income tax cuts down you're on welfare pensions, you've got a big increase. So it's a way of sort of you know, you always got to have winners with your losers if you're going to do it form, and in this case, it was all losers, you know, So they haven't and they lost. They lost the narrative on housing. It was meant to be about housing, but they extended these capital gains taxes to everyone else, you know. Share filed by shares or absimal businesses. So we're no longer talking about housing, we're talking about what was that for? You know, it always collateral damage. And so they're sort of trying to talk about these tax cut as if they're really big, but fifty bucks a week in two years. But they're going to tie that to the legislation that passed the tax increases and try and make the opposition of cruel and hartless by opposing them.
01:03:35
Speaker 5: They fell.
01:03:35
Speaker 4: What happened with the potential Teals party this week? It seemed like it was voted and then pretty much everyone who would be a Teal decided that they weren't interested.
01:03:44
Speaker 26: Well, it's still a work in progress, will and like two of the teals played out, Monic Bryan and Kate Janey, they said, not interested. That sort of undercuts the whole idea of having an independent in your seat. So it's got like that. There's two's Steagal and Sophie Scomps there from the north shore of Sydney. They're they're up for it, they're they're they're involved in it. Leger Spenders sort of sitting on the fence, and another one Nicola Bullet. They're all these are all Sydney Tills. It's sort of interested maybe after the next election. What they're sort of realizing Will is that actually the Kill model hasn't worked because they have no influence. They're sitting in the Lower House and no one cares about them to their vote doesn't matter, and they've suitably degraded the Liberal Party to the point where the Liberal Party doesn't have any influence either. So you've got this government rushing stuff to we're just talking about the budget. I mean that budget just that just smacks Tillboats square in the face. We've took where people who have trust to have businesses, you know, sort of the more wealth and most people it's aimed at them. Laters is coming up to their constituents and they can't do anything about it, and neither the Liberal Party because the whole right of politics has fallen apart. So there's been this discussion for a while. Malcolm Turnbull has been running this thing and it's been I think you know, Simon Ermi cam in South Australia and Christopher Pine and others about some sort of liberal moderate breakaway party to try to try and.
01:05:08
Speaker 5: Well, it's based on the roaring success of Steelhall's liberal movement.
01:05:12
Speaker 26: That's exactly the one dayah and some of the teals have been like a lego. Spin has been talking to them about that, but it hasn't really gone anywhere. And this thing sort of popped up amidst all that. But oh look it was. I don't think it's going to happen. But their whole plan is to try and get senators. They finally worked out they're in the wrong house. If you want to have a grassroots movement to have some influence over the politics, you're better off being in the Senate. You know, there's the Green Show and you know one nation of parties by that, that's where the sort of power is. You can't you can't take over the lower House. You're better off having senators. And because they it's really hard to get senators if you don't have a presence across the state that you're to have a party basically get above the line on the Senate ticket. It's all very messy and comical, but I don't know it's going to go anywhere.
01:05:58
Speaker 5: What a crazy time to be there. Have you ever seen politics so sort of bolganized and there.
01:06:05
Speaker 26: No, no, we're practically becoming the common is effective. It's becoming a lot Victoria, West Australia, South Australia as a one party state, you know, a labor state, and and and the center right vote or the right vote is just fragmented across the place. And we had we had this poll on the weekend which sort of scared the pigeons. That was for the catamongst the pigeons. Where the four casts if an election was held now, one may somewhere between forty three and fifty six seats, and the levels could be reduced as few as twelve or twenty one and Labored be pushed close to minority. We're really in uncharted orders now. You can sort of say the two party systems cease to exist and it's trying to find find a new bottom and knowing sure that's what sort of sparking of these things like you know, these steal parties and stuff like everyone everyone doesn't know what to do.
01:06:57
Speaker 5: To be honest, it's amazing and it's really very amazing. Good on you, Phil. I had about three more questions for you, but otherwise we'll end up talking all the time. We'll save them for next week. Going your mate, Phil Curity, the national political editor for The finn Review.
01:07:10

Speaker 4: It's jury time. Are we going to put the Enhanced Games to the jury test?
01:09:18
Speaker 5: This morning?
01:09:19
Speaker 4: The Enhanced Games this is the trimmed down version of the Olympics, where steroids aren't just legal, they're encouraged. Twelve events. There was a million dollars on the line if anyone who could break a world record, I think there's been one or maybe two broken. But the biggest, perhaps the funniest part of the whole thing, has been as we spoke with Rob Scott earlier to this morning, there'd been five clean athletes that appeared in the Enhanced Games, and three of them finished first in their event. Now they're already doing a dozen or so events. Fred Curley who won one hundred, he was hoping to be so juiced up he was going to break Hussain Bolt's record and be the fastest man ever to run one hundred meters. He ran it in nine point ninety seven seconds, which is the same, which is slightly slower than the world record was in nineteen sixty eight.
01:10:05
Speaker 5: With the I reckon they're using the wrong drugs in the wrong events, like they should like cannabis and then have yurous eating or Tim Tams one hundred meters Tim Tams.

01:10:41
Speaker 4: A lot of people are reading. Also, there's all sorts of conspiracy theories that going into this now as well. Some people are saying, well, if the enhanced athletes aren't any better than the clean athletes, does it mean there are no clean athletes? Does it mean steroids don't work anywhere near his advertise? This feels like a real blow to the steroid industry. Frankly, but none of these people are able to do any better than just naturally selected, really high quality athletes that are training with stuff that's totally legal. Freak show or fascinating eight double two to three double o double o. For the jury, of course, someone on the jury will win a one hundred dollars Semas Seafood voucher getting to Semtas Quality seafood.

Speaker 5: Get was Travis Heads mustache, personal thing, thing thing. It's in the thing category.
01:15:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so we'll find out world couple suburbs before eight thirty and then after eight thirty Today makes you stick around for our chat with the CEO of m m D Australia, Claire Sullivan, about the legacy of Neil danaher remarkable story, his life, but the last thirteen years when he dedicated to raising awareness of this awful disease. He's done so much good for the world. He's done so much good for the science around trying to prevent it and eventually one day curing it. Clais Sullivan, the CEO of MND Australia, after eight thirty, Well.
01:16:02
Speaker 5: One of South Australia's ten federal MPs has done his community a service by crunching the exact number of how many older Australians in his electorate are going to be affected by the federal budgets changes to the private health insurance rebate that are going to cost people over the age of sixty five eight hundred and seven dollars a year. Needless to say, he's not a federal labor MP because none of them have got any interest in shining any further light on a decision that has given many older voters that you know Watts. Tom Venning is the Liberal member for Gray and we've got him on the line now. So Tom, thanks for your time. Twenty three six hundred and seventy three residents in your seat are going to be hit by this cut.
01:16:48
Speaker 30: Yes, that's exactly right, gentlemen. This is bad news for the grandkids. They will not be getting a Christmas present this year. Thanks to doctor Jim Charmers. This government's flashing the provals insurance rebate for sixty five year olds and over. So for the people in my electorate, you know, it's a cut to the rebate from twenty eight to thirty two percent down to twenty four percent. So if you're on a silver or a Gold program with your private health that's an extra eight hundred and seven dollars a year, or double that for couples. Now, the real concern about this is this is going to push more and more older Australians into the public health system. In my electorate alone, half of the admissions into hospital are people aged over sixty five over sixty five years old. So we don't know how many people will drop off the program, but it'll be significant. It'll put more and more and more pressure on an already crumbling public health system.
01:17:45
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you, Tom, so roughly, do you know Jinnay in ballpark terms? How many voters there are or how many residents rather there are in your seat of Gray, which is up north.
01:17:56
Speaker 30: Just under two hundred thousand, about one hundred and thirty thousand people on the.
01:18:00
Speaker 5: Corell Okay, So twenty three thousand out of two hundred thousand is a sizeable percentage. And that's probably something that if you lived in any other federal electric do you think the numbers would be roughly the same or does your seat skew a little bit older?
01:18:15
Speaker 30: Might a little bit older, so, but it would be it would be similar.
01:18:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, And just in terms of being being a regional rural seat like yours, I mean you've got you've got towns that are miles away from the nearest health services. Does this create a different dynamic for country people in terms of access to private health care? And if they're now going all right, stuff this for a joke, I'm going to rely on the public system. Does that make a system that's already so thinned out and spread out even more exposed to pressure?
01:18:47
Speaker 30: It absolutely does? You know. I'm not sure if you've been to regional hospital lately, but they are all struggling. And indeed, if you live within a four hours drive of Adelaide, if you have an injury, the best thing to do is jump in the car and drive to Adelaine. But that doesn't work if you live in kuber Pedi or Sjuna or Port Lankt and do you of course have to go to the local hospital. They are seriously striking. This has gone got more and more pressure on our regional ds.
01:19:10
Speaker 5: And just in terms of the actual changes, I must admit I'm not across this, and I reckon a lot of our listeners probably aren't either. Is it a done deal that this happens or does it need to get do the private health changes need to be enshrined in law and therefore past the Senate.
01:19:25
Speaker 30: Yeah, so the Prime Minister will try and ran through this legislation both this week and next week. Of course we'll be fighting to stop it, but once that is passed, it will become legislation.
01:19:36
Speaker 5: And you guys are launching a petition as well about this hands off your health cover.
01:19:41
Speaker 30: Now, that's exactly right, and I think this is a direct attack on individuals that tend to not vote for the Labor government. So it is that egregious. So yes, I'm starting a petition. I want as many signatures as possible to take the fight up to Labor to stop this attack on the hip pockets of senior families across South Australia. So please get involved.
01:20:01
Speaker 5: Tom Venning, the Liberal member for Gray, thank you for that.
01:20:04
Speaker 9: Thanks.
01:20:07
Speaker 5: It's worth doing that because this is the political reality, and you know it's the way people voted. So the Libs can sort of suck it up to a degree, but the reality is one of the most contentious, easily the most contentious parts of the federal budget. The reality out in South Australia is that we've got ten seats, all right, We've got ten seats, two of them are held by Libs. You've got Tony Passing down south, Tom Venning up north. Then you've got Rebecca Sharky. Then you've got seven largely suburban federal electorates, all held by labor. Of those seven labor MPs, which of them is going to tell you this is how many voters in my seat are going to be affected by the private health insurance changes. Zero correct? Correct? So good on in for doing it. Yeah, twenty three six, one hundred and seventy out of two hundred thousand people.
01:20:56
Speaker 4: And so many of our listeners as we know. Sixteen minutes after right, we're going to take a quick break. And on the other side of it, in Prospect, there's a initiative that's been undertaken by the council there that's getting people to know a little bit more about their local trees and it's going off. People are absolutely loving it. So we'll be talking about that. On the other side of this.
01:21:14
Speaker 1: Break, knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:21:23
Speaker 2: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
01:21:25
Speaker 3: Deep been Burvie and Will Goodings five double a.
01:21:29
Speaker 4: Breakfast twenty after right got brought to our attention. This terrific little initiative in prospect of being undertaken by the City of Prospect, the council there where they're hanging these signs on trees and giving you a bit more information about them. For example, in one that we've been sent, it says, I am a sugar gum that has the botanic name which I won't try to attempt you speak a bit of Latin, David, so you could you'd be more chunt to Eucalyptus clodiclys cladical calyx in three years. It's got options. I'm a child, teen, adult, or senior. In this particular tree is an adult. I provide shade equivalent to sixty three point two to beat umbrellas and store enough carmen to fill. Well that's almost five hundred thousand AFL footballs. But a nice little way to get people to know about the contribution that's being made by trees in their area. The mayor of the City of Prospect is Matt Larwood.
01:22:22
Speaker 5: Mayor. Good morning to you, Good day, Jens Gain, we'll good thank you, Matt. So how long has this been going and where'd the idea come from?
01:22:29
Speaker 28: I'm wishing you the answer to the second question, because I'd like to claim that it's our idea, so I.
01:22:33
Speaker 4: Will until otherwise, Matt, you've saved correct.
01:22:37
Speaker 28: Yes, and it's being going for well every year now. When I first noticed that just by wandering around walking my dogs in the various areas, and it really does stand out because it's an unusual thing and it draws your attention to that tree and you start to wonder, Okay, what's this sign all about? What's this series of signs all about? And that's what it was designed for. It was designed to create a little bit of intrigue and use environmental science turn that into something that was a little bit more relatable. So, as you mentioned before, we talk about shade capacity in terms of beach umbrellas, we talk about stored carbon in terms of how many AFL football so you could feel. So it's really meant to be relatable, and it's really meant to draw people through a two kilometer route from the town Hall beandi on Prospect Road up to the Memorial Gardens and then down to Saint Helen's Park where there's a whole lot of different sorts of trees. And I've lived in Prospect for about almost fifty years and I remember those trees when I was a good climbing them and so on and so forth. So it's great to see that we're bringing a little bit more information to light to help reinforce the importance of trees.
01:23:42
Speaker 5: Trees have become a hot button issue in Adelaide over the last few months. Matt has it got a bit of a sort of gramskyan political undercurrent this only you're doing it with one eye on the premiere in his chainsaw.
01:23:54
Speaker 30: Not at all.
01:23:54
Speaker 28: No, we like most people to me what you just mentioned. Their highlights in ports of trees. And we've had a green tunnel project going in the city Prospect for about the last five or six years with the aim of turning as much of the streets into green tunnels, which cools the suburb down, which makes them look a lot nicer. We've got about sixteen point five percent tree canopy covered. We've got over fifteen thousand trees in our areas, so we pay a lot of attention to trees. In fact, an initiative that we've implemented this the tree Bait initiative, which means that if you're a private resident and you purchase a decent tree. We'll give you fifty percent of the cash back to try to encourage people to plant significant trees on their own property.
01:24:38
Speaker 5: That's a really good thing to do because there's not enough of them around. Good on your Matt Larwood, Mayor of the City of Prospect.
01:24:46
Speaker 3: Five double A's World Cup of Airsay.
01:24:53
Speaker 4: World Cup of South Australia time eight double two to three double O double oh is the number in the people part of the bracket. You can follow along on social media and see how the competition is progressing. It starting to fill up the second round. We're starting almost were probably halfway through the first round now I think just having a look at that. So things are starting to get serious. People are getting the model now it's just three calls first, the three.
01:25:20
Speaker 5: David.
01:25:20
Speaker 4: It's deadly serious. There is nothing more serious than the World Cup in South Australia, trust me. People were very upset with some of the arguments we've made already. Some films too bombastic, Some feel it wasn't over the top enough.
01:25:33
Speaker 5: Had a few frog pack ribs telling me I dogged it, Yeah I did, Yeah, you did, all right, Well you won't today because we're in the people part of the bracket and this is a big one. Do you want to go first? Yout me to go first. I'll go first today. All right, Oh the man Scottie Hodges. I've got port Adelaide legend, Scott Hodges.
01:25:54
Speaker 4: Well, let's just set the scene here because I have Crow's legend. Tony Mogo, you have.
01:26:00
Speaker 5: The great irony. And this is one of the great misunderstood falsehoods of South Australian sport. Mods and Scott thick as thieves. They get on like a house on fire. And there's this weird view though you know, Mods sort of pushed Scott out of the side. It's not true. And whatever lingering dramas there are about Cornsey taking Scott off and then Essen in the game and so forth, there's no tension out all between them. They're drinking buddies and they love each other. So what can you say about Scott Hodges. So, even though it pains me that Rick Davies was on the receiving end of this as a stirt man, Scott knocked him off for the SNFL goalkicking record. Trying to do all this off the top of my head, I think it was one hundred and fifty six goals, maybe habitually kicking ten eleven twelve goals a game. And I got to know Scott because our boys were in the same class range primary school. And then hilariously I ended up coaching the school football team. But I had at one point Scott's son in it and Russell Ebert's grandson in it, and on game days to say, what do you two like standing there? Not coaching this team for but one of the nicest phone calls ever got after the twenty seventeen debarcle oft the MCG Scott rang and he goes, made just chicking in to see how you're gone. Nothing hurt's like losing the Grand Final. And I went, oh, thanks God, is that actually? How would you know? And he goes, yeah, that's right. Actually I played eight and on won eight flags and he's part of that whole is a Wayne Marney Timmy g era where just a cut above everyone else and a great culture as well that club. Scott has my vote.
01:27:50
Speaker 4: Scott Hodges or Tony Modra for the World Cup of I still to this day argue Tony Madra is as famous as a footballer has ever been in the history of South Australia. True, I think one has reached the pinnacle of fame that Tony Modra did, and very few have reached the level of flash. The man won a Coleman medal, kicked one hundred and twenty nine goals in nineteen ninety three one hundred and twenty nine. Essendon won't kick one hundred and twenty nine goals this year. He was a highlight waiting to happen. Tony Modra gave me. I learned about angles because of Tony Modra. Because for my entire school life, if you turned your back flat to another bloke, someone would yell out Madra and you'd have a knillion in the back of your head. Tony Modra is an absolute icon. Who could forget to the tragedy of Mod's doing his knee in the prelim final. Ninety seven Crows win two Premierships. He as one of the absolute greats in the history of the club and the league wasn't there for them. He won the Coleman in ninety seven despite that, what an absolute superstar. This is impossible to split. Let's just see what our listeners come up with. Who will make it through in the World Cup of South Australia, Tony Modra or Scott Hodges, John and Campbelltown you got the first vote.
01:29:05
Speaker 9: That's way too easy, boys, it's got to be Godra.
01:29:08
Speaker 5: Please Godra. One vote.
01:29:11
Speaker 4: People are going to kick themselves if having not called in early on this one. Frances in Beaumont, good morning.
01:29:17
Speaker 17: Good morning.
01:29:17
Speaker 15: There's only one Godra, thank you.
01:29:21
Speaker 4: Francis Rustling Lockley's good morning.
01:29:26
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
01:29:32
Speaker 4: Oh well, Tony Madras won and we'll go through to the next round. That's a tough out for Scotty Hodges. My brother not fair. My brother had a teddy bear called Scott Odgers. He was beloved in our household.
01:29:43
Speaker 5: Your brother's a craze man that when Scott was playing for the Crows.
01:29:45
Speaker 4: He was playing for the Crows because it was because of his feats playing for in the sample like he was. He was a legend, the scene goal talies that he keeps. When we were kids, it was like, Scott Hodges is just awesome support guy.
01:29:58
Speaker 5: I think it was a prelimited Nord. He kicks his goal in this blowing gale down in West Lakes from the boundary to knock Nord off right on the Siren and the nord bench. They're just all burst into ticks. But it's so many things like the ninety four Grand Final against the Eagles. I guess it's sort of show both greats between AFL and s A NFL because God was sort of the tail end of the golden ear of the s A NFL. Yeah, whereas Mods was there for the explosion of AFL and they just crossed over.
01:30:25
Speaker 4: But what characters got there. No one will certainly give him something to do in the RFL. But goal kickers are just there's something iconic about blokes.
01:30:36
Speaker 5: That just kicked big bags.
01:30:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a bit it's sad that in this era we don't It's starting to come back a little bit actually with the change in the rules, but the way it was where you could watch those blokes at their pinnacle kicking ten eleven, twelve goals and seeming just being irresistible. You just felt helpless if the ball went inside forward fifty. It was a great era of footy. Two great characters, and we're both worthy of in the World Cup of Suburbs. But it will be Tony Modra Godra. Three straight votes for Godra, No less who progresses to the next.
01:31:07
Speaker 1: Round knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment metro homes.
01:31:17
Speaker 2: They do it all for you.
01:31:18
Speaker 3: Deep with pen Berthe and Will Goodies five Double Breakfast.
01:31:22
Speaker 4: Nine nine Emily Brand our producers wanted in during the news break and tell me there's an exciting new feature that's going to be installed in the studio. They're going to put an electric charge through my chair. And if I call the World Cup of South Australia the World Cup of Suburbs again, I will be electrocuted to death. So stay tuned for that tomorrow.
01:31:39
Speaker 5: Morning, just enough to jolt your back into yeah, just to maybe commit a corrective electro therapy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:31:45
Speaker 4: I do have a problem. I apologize everyone listening. It is the World Cup of South Australia. It has been six years since the World Cup of Suburbs.
01:31:52
Speaker 5: We had an electric shock machine at home as a kid, did you too, Copper handles right, and you used to crank it up.
01:31:58
Speaker 4: Sort of just to weed out any APPA behavior.
01:32:01
Speaker 5: The dead defendant the Shede day and I said, wat's this and said I'll show you hold these. Oh, but a real time learning. But I think it was for I've got no idea what it was you for. My grandfather was involved in the Spanish Inquisition.
01:32:16
Speaker 4: As the mind bottles, there's a crash on Greenhill Road if you're coming from the hills. According to bi anchor, it says, right before you get to the Glimber road roundabout, be careful everyone, the anchor thank you for that.
01:32:30
Speaker 5: Nice from hope. Have a strong vision.
01:32:33
Speaker 13: My vision is the world where that amenda.
01:32:36
Speaker 5: I will get there. I might be sticked for the thunder, but we'll get there.
01:32:40
Speaker 4: Yeah. And we we have gotten so much closer thanks to the remarkable work of Neil Danaher over the last twelve thirteen years of his life. As we mentioned right at the top of the program this morning, generally you get a diagnosis, you get twenty seven months. It feels like he got more because of the work that he was destined and deigned to do of the decade plus that he battled the disease and in the process changed a nation's perception.
01:33:07
Speaker 5: Of what it was. We learned about it.
01:33:11
Speaker 4: So much money was raised in the process to fight it and get us close to a day where he says, we'll get there where one day it can be defeated. Claire Sullivan knows that better than anyone. The CEO of MND Australia. Claire, good morning to you.
01:33:26
Speaker 15: Good morning David, Good morning, mil Will.
01:33:27
Speaker 13: How are you good?
01:33:28
Speaker 5: Thanks? Claire? As Will just said, it really is just such a genuinely amazing legacy that Neil leaves behind, isn't it.
01:33:36
Speaker 15: Oh, it is just remarkable and a remarkable man. His professional career prior to being diagnosed and what he's done for awareness of the disease and the contribution to research to help beat this disease. He will absolutely leave an amazing legacy and will go down in Australia's history.
01:33:55
Speaker 5: What's it like, Claire, when you think back to the pre Neil dana her Era mode and neuron disease in Australia in terms of the level of awareness of the disease and the type of funding that it attracted.
01:34:10
Speaker 15: Yeah, Look, prior to Neil's diagnosis and contribution, there was relatively little awareness. So if you had a diagnosis like this, it was considered a rare disease and people didn't understand what you're up against. We also, because of the contribution of Neil and fight MMD now have arguably the best MND researchers in the world who are all working tirelessly to solve this this terrible disease. So yeah, he's made a huge difference to the country, to the m and D community, and to our research capacity.
01:34:44
Speaker 5: One thing with it, it's a bit of a fallacy, isn't it That It's that it's like super rare, like it's it's more common than you'd care to think, really, isn't it.
01:34:54
Speaker 15: It is shocking Actually in Australia, every day two people are diagnosed and sad two people pass away. Your lifetime risk of getting more in your own disease is one in three hundred, So when you think about your Facebook friends or the people on your street, it's shockingly scarily likely.
01:35:16
Speaker 5: And are we getting any closer to a cue? What are the sort of causes for optimism in the MND space.
01:35:25
Speaker 15: Yeah, Look, there is a lot of hope and a lot of reasons for optimism. We think the disease, you get the disease as a combination of genomics, your genetic predisposition, cell biology, and the societal and environmental factors. But the truth is we still don't know. We don't know what causes a disease and sadly we don't have a cure. We do know that improving quality of life and extending survivability with the services that are provided on the ground to help these people is the thing that makes the biggest difference at the moment. But it takes a whole of disease and a whole community to solve a disease like this, and in Australia we're well primed and well positioned to be able to do that.
01:36:07
Speaker 5: Thank you, Claire. Claire Sullivan, the CEO of M and D Australia.
01:36:11
Speaker 4: There Our next guest is a former Crow and Jull McGerry medallist, Mitch Gregg, who you might recall nearly four years ago lost his father to m n D after a four year battle. Mitch, it must have been a difficult day for you, I imagine yesterday as well, with everyone talking about this disease, but the it easy an opportunity too for everyone to talk about the immense strides that have been made over the course of Neelan and indeed your father's life in terms of our knowledge of MND and indeed our ability to fight it.
01:36:41
Speaker 31: Yeah, that's right, and yeah thanks having me on guys much appreciate it. Yeah, it was it was very bittersweet yesterday. I was sort of brought back a lot of memories for myself and our family and yeah, certainly certainly shot a few tears for Neil and his family. It's a disease that, you know, unless you've instant which you know a lot of people do, it's it's very shocking in the way that it attacks the body and and what it makes that person go through. But in you know, if there's a shining light, you know, the way that Neil handled himself, you know throughout the whole time he was battling this horrific disease. You know, he he showed people what really matters and and it's perspective on life and and and how you attack it mentally. That's that's the biggest, biggest challenge, you know, what he was able to do, you know, within the football community, to to support M and D and and raise awareness that he has. I think there's something like one hundred million that they've raised over the time of the Big Freeze and the M and D finding has been astonishing really and you know, he reminds me of a lot of a lot of mile Man And yeah, it was a sad day yesterday, Mitch.
01:37:53
Speaker 5: With with with a disease like MND, I mean, it's it's different from something like cancer, where I mean there's nothing more shocking in the in the world than being told by a specialist, yes, you have cancer. Yet at the same time, there's plenty of people who had cancer and get through it. The tragedy of MND is that there's there's no MND survivors Like it's if you've got it, eventually and usually pretty quickly, you are going to you are going to die. That part of it dealing with that as a loved one, as a son, do you feel that there is there enough support for the family members when they're presented with such a terribly bleak set of circumstances that they're sort of being forced into accepting the horrible inevitability of it all. That must be so hard to process.
01:38:44
Speaker 31: Try to give together, sorry mate, Yeah, look, it's it's extremely hard, especially when it just comes.
01:38:52
Speaker 10: Out of the blue.
01:38:53
Speaker 31: There's there's very little warning sign Dad. Dad himself had started feeling a bit lethargic. He owned own an f forty five gym with his wife, dam and you know, he was training you almost every day and he started feeling just a bit off, a bit flat. And yeah, it was a you know, a grueling year of of you know, tests and going through a lot of a lot of things. And to to come to that diagnosis, it's not something they obviously want to want to just give out, will you and nilly. But yeah, from that, from that time, obviously you deal with that initial shock and that's that's a hard, hard thing to handle knowing that eventually it's going to get him, and that was really hard. And yeah, and then and then the other part of it is you just watch them deteriorate, going for this fitting healthy, you know, fifty five year old man to a to a shriveled up, you know, chair bound person that can't even you know, can't even can't eat, can't can't drink, you know, fed through a tube, and you know, confined to a to a chair in his living room, which just isn't you know, isn't something that you wish upon anyone, No, not someone And look, that's the way it's if everything comes back to one thing, it's it's perspective. And I know Neil and Dud, you know, they shared their journey together. They kept in touch and they spoke regularly. And you know that's one thing that Dad it might about Neil was his perspective, and it's something it might about Dud was his own perspective on life and how he how he tucked it and he just he didn't give a shit about himself.
01:40:29
Speaker 6: He cared.
01:40:30
Speaker 31: He cared about everyone else around him, which is, you know something that there's a lot about a person that's gone through.
01:40:35
Speaker 8: What he did.
01:40:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, Mitch's incredibly gutsy view to share on air, Mate, and we really appreciate it. And there'll be people listening, not just m n D, but people listening and maybe they're dealing with partners have got early on set dementia where you see them sort of slipping away in a comparable way. And there was really courageous of you to share that, Mate, So we appreciate it. Mitch Grigg form Radelais Crow and Nord Football Club.
01:41:01
Speaker 1: Legend knockdown Bill two with Metro Homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:41:08

01:41:10
Speaker 3: Deevid pen Burthy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:41:21
Speaker 4: Five minutes to nine. Lots of texts coming over the course of the program on a range of subject matters. We appreciate them all A zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. There are many. Just remember if we don't get to reading yours out online, we always read them all, just a matter of timing. But there are some terrific texts that have come through. And Michael in Sutan says, gents, glad you got Mitchell on. Mitch Gregg. I knew he's man. He's old man over twenty years ago, such a nice, happy man, loved his red legs and loved his crows. He would have been proud about how his son spoke about him too.
01:41:52
Speaker 5: We had a lot of messages too from other people who have lost loved ones to the beast, as Neil Danaher called it, including Josh, his dad eighteen months ago, says he battled on for nineteen months. It's a bloody, brutal disease. Dad worked hard his whole life, retired at sixty so him and mum could enjoy a retirement. But the fight is not over. We'll keep fighting to find a cure. I would call him, but I know that I break down. I'm good on your mate. On a much lighter note, I rely this text from Paul halliwell, good mate, Paul, he says guys listening speaking earlier about Tony Modron his amazing skills. I can tell you that as the managing director of Peter Scherer for many years, I had a lot to do with mods. He's one of the nicest guys you had ever meet. Everyone involved in making our TV ads loved him truly modest as well. Look out for the man.
01:42:39
Speaker 4: I love the best about Tony Madras that he for being the most showbiz footballer in AFL history. Like he was box office front page, the way he played, the way he looked, Everything about him was Hollywood except who he is.
01:42:52
Speaker 5: He's such a quiet farm.
01:42:53
Speaker 4: Guy, exudes quiet country Australian kind of guy. And you see what, folks, I've set a function. He's a lovely bloke. But the poor guy to this day, hundreds of people at any event is that will come up and oh Tony can have of thing and he'll go. It gives everyone the time of day, smile, shake hands. Then he was go back to sitting there quietly, not making it, but he's never the center of attention. Then five more people, Ah mads your legend. Ah Yeahoto, then he would sit there quietly again. He's just a lovely bloke.
01:43:21
Speaker 5: I reckon. That's one of the reasons why him and him and Scott Hodges get on so well. It's got both similar, isn't he shy blokes that they're not big native like the limelight. They'd much rather go and find a quiet corner, a place like the seat and hotel or the lakes or something like that and punch a few in and you know, sit there talking. You know, the same rubbish any normal group of mates. Deep Yeah, because of walking Hi, look at me, I'm famous. It's a nice quality, it is. It's a great quality to have. All right.
01:43:49
Speaker 4: We should have a look at the field situation before we leave this morning. Ra A A is a fantastic, fantastic service and you should be a member. Better be a member with RAA Road Service. The cheapest spots we've been able to find this morning the United Sorry, the mobile at blair Athole is the cheapest, and letter that's at a dollar sixty seven point five.
