Brings the country cloaks across.
The lad o the name all right, Cavin joined us one double three six nine three. I'm Anthony Robin McManus Carole, Kats and Manas. It's a Friday morning Australia, Avernard.
Here we go.
Stand by regional stations, stand by three x Y and Melbourne threes and Melbourne five KA in Adelaide, but six I X in Bert. Where else will we go? The eighth Radio Network? Carroll. A lot of old fashioned names in there. I like Caroly kids.
It's to have you back. I mean you've been back for a few days. You were missed last week.
Now more importantly, that's very kind of.
But Simon and I we had good fun.
Now you and I now look me in the eye. Where are you going to be on Monday for the Big King's Birthday game?
You're going to laugh at this. I'm going to be here. I've got a long stretch of work coming up. I'm going to be right here.
So you'll be in this building, in this building, in the news, so you won't be ringing me halfway through the game Melbourne Collingwood and going.
No.
I'll give you a couple of texts during the game. Will indeed lovely to have you back. We did make up free midnight last week, Simon Iaran's and I. You did make up make up free Midnight.
I called it that because because he wasn't wearing makeup, neither was I and he usually does so if when he's not here in the studio he usually does and so.
A little bit TV as you know on Thursday night, and of course he came here. Oh you've changed, I said, indeed I have. Yes, there, you are very different without makeup, you know, with and without, as.
We all do, you always look, you always look. Justify lots of things about which we can chat. We'll get to the carse in just a moment. You can come and play with us, should you choose to do that, We love it. Have you on board anything you want to raise on the program. We've got some topics we thought we might cover Caroli, Kats and barters from our Australia Overnight newsroom where we look at some of the issues of the week. We will talk about Tazzy, what's going to happen down there?
Yes, that's my big one today.
The fascination. We've got to be very careful about what we say and how we say this, but the fascination with the trial in more Well is a little bit lost on me, and probably because I guess I wasn't around when it was all unfolding, or I wasn't acutely aware, but I understand stand the fascination now that zillions have for us.
Well, there's a fellow that's got a YouTube channel in America. I know who is broadcasting it. He apparently chooses interesting Australian court cases and he's been in one of our mast heads the Age saying that he just wants to do more of these Australian trials. Of course, our legal system is very different, very much, sir. But he's intrigued,
and I think we are intrigued. And it's fair to say, you know, as a former court reporter, one of the intriguing things is when the person accused of the crime is put on the stand and their evidence. And we've seen our coverage with the Nine network, both on radio, newspaper and television, the reporters describing the atmosphere in the court. Of course, the questions come up naturally how come there
are no photos allowed? And you know the reason why is when a court artist sketches the accused or any in the trial, it's more as a respect, it's a respect, it's the solemnity of the court. Case. I think we're all fascinated by the wheels of justice as well, because it's one of those cases where you just, yeah, I'm very intrigued by it. And as I said, it's all before the courts. But yes, it's garner this worldwide following.
And of course it's in more Well, which is it's not in Melbourne, it's not at the big you know, the Supreme Court here. So you've got the people that will line up every day that are intrigued, professional court watchers, members of the local community, family and friends of people from all sides, and they're very diligent and they'll do that. And we don't know how long the trial will continue.
You know, we don't. And you look at the pictures that we do see on the TV, things like the people trying to get in to spend a bit of time to understand it, yes, to have a look at it, and lining up from four thirty five o'clock.
That's right now.
That doesn't surprise me, because of course the more coverage that something gets, the more intriguing people are. But of course there's only X number of seats the court. We've covered of course on this radio station that it's a ballot for the media as to who gets a seat
in the court. There's a closed live stream which is also on a ballot thing as well for people to do and as we know, those people that are online that have access to various newspapers, there's often a live stream, as there always is with many things, but which is interesting to see justice and to see the trial happening, because as we know, people are innocent until proven guilty.
I've always been an advocate and have been for many a decade for people to randomly wander in, particularly in the senior courts, to just wander in paying full respect to the court. Yes, to go and sit for whether you sit for ten minutes, whether you sit for a couple of hours, that's right. Looking at how that process works, people are often critical of the process. Very few of us get to spend the time sitting in and.
Listening to a dry absolutely. I mean, I got selected for jury duty when I was in Western Australia, but the first day that I had to present myself was the first day of a COVID lockdown. So then it got delayed by three months and I got called up again, but then it was another lockdown and you know that opportunity has got a Tony Tardio from our newsroom. He
recently he recently served fascinating. I think the thing is, you have to be in a state or your name comes up, but it's you know, it's at least twenty twenty five years and there's various things. But of course there's always challenges. But it is a very interesting process because of course we're not privy to everything that is
in the court, and you can't be. But it's interesting to see we live in a democracy and I think that, you know, as Tony Tardio said, it's not lost on him, we are very fortunate to live in a democracy because the alternative is a dictatorship isn't much better. And the thing that's also interesting was, of course they empaneled fifteen jurors, and we're allowed to say this, but one of the jurors before the trial began, the judge gives the directions.
Out of those fifteen jurors, one of them had Apparently, I don't know how the judge found out they were given the instructions. Do not speak about this with your family friends, do not read things well. I don't know, maybe this duror is very excited, but they will call it a They went and discussed it with them, and that got back to the judge, and the judge nothing had been presented, but he said, we can't risk we can't risk this, and so the person that was in
pater was let go. So then you're down to fourteen jurors and then you're kept right up until the end, because of course it has to be a unanimous.
Without over glamorizing it. Yes, it's this this heightened sense of a theater that is, and it's a wonderful thing to observe, even say, the conversation, the relationship between his or her honor and those that may be facing his or her honor and presenting a case one way or the other. It's it's amazing to watch, and particularly if you're a dura, to watch those little nuances and watch the demeanor of people inside the.
Court and the body language. You know, and as I said, you and I, well, the body language. And it's interesting because you think that you know people of our generations, you're I guess we didn't grow up with computers and AI and that you can you can you can pick up on body language and nuances. I think it's a bit of a street smart and as you say, it's interesting in a courtroom to look at that, and quite often reporters in their pieces to camera will comment about
the facial expressions or what happens. But yeah, I just I have found it amazing that it's been covered that this person in America never knew that there was that type of mushroom in the world, and he's actually just in America. Aren't there death count mushas there are? Indeed, it's like a revelation to people it's increased. So we'll see what happens.
It's interesting to watch. We'll take your calls the other side. For those that are waiting, don't leave us. We'll come back to you in just a moment. One double three six nine three. I'm all and lots of people wanting to talk about that. So we've got to be a little what's the word I'm looking for. We've got to be a bit careful about what we say how we say it there because we don't want in any way to impact the trial, and we wouldn't want.
To do it.
And we've said no names as we to be extra careful.
Neither of us want to end up in prison infinitely. We're both way too attractive. One double three six nine three is the telephone number. Stay there, we'll come back shortly. It is Australier overnight. Good morning. That's us a nice to have you company. Thank you for being part of the program. Helen High from South Melbourne.
Good morning, Hi, Tony Him Caroline.
Hello Helen. Lovely to hear from you.
Now. I know we live in a democracy, but I think over the last decade or so, less and less do we understand about the workings of the law, which has been our next complete support system. For example, no one I knew knew that bail didn't involve paying money, so.
That was a shock.
There seems to be no one between the law makers, the law and actors and us other than the media. So we rely like hell on the media. But it isn't you know? I want an army of the likes of is it?
John Selbesto, he's wonderful, He's wonderful, Sly he's wonderful. Right journalist great.
For example, this week we had hours and hours and hours on the radio about the naughty soccer fans who had flaars. Okay, ours probably I don't know how many hours. At the same time, seven days ago, a woman in a country town stabbed four people.
Just be very careful.
So is it going to be careful?
Well, well, let me assure you you will be careful because I don't want to go to prison. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So allegedly allegedly is the word that we're going to use, because I don't know whether this is before the court selling.
Well, I can tell you so we heard about it on the first night, particularly as one of the four incidents, the person was flown by helicopter to Melbourne in a serious condition. Not a single report since I know the place verey. Well, the person was named straight off but has since chosen not to go to court, will not leave herself.
Yeah, but Helen, that's that's the system. Yes, that's available to each in every one of us.
That's right. And sometimes, you know, you can report on an incident, but when somebody is charged, it completely changes, which is why you often see on the television news and why on programs you know morning programs or you know Breakfast, Ross and Russ or whoever. It might be a lot of detail that comes out. But then when someone is charged. It's just a completely different landscape and then you know the wheels of justice because you know it's an average fifty two week wait for you know,
for an indictable offense. We often hear that. So if they're behind bars for a year, then it comes up. Then they're relying television stations on file vision to build the picture as to what may happen, et cetera, et cetera. But there is and you can't always you can't always report everything you know that is in the court. Sometimes there are suppression orders that come up at the very
last minute. There are injunctions that happen at a minute to six with there and you can be round I've experienced it twenty years ago, reporting right up to it, your story. The news reader can be reading the intro and injunction comes and suddenly it's dropped and off. There's a lot of stuff that happens behind the scenes, and it all just depends on exactly what's going on and what the news of the day is. All news is sort of sanitized and edited before it actually goes to air.
But I think the process of being able to go into an Australian court, as you say, and observe the process. I don't know whether anybody saw the Chung Lay documentary on Sky News there. It's absolutely fantastic with what it is, and you hear about what she went through, and you actually hear from the Australian ambassador and the embassy staff up there with what they could or couldn't they're not able to go into according job. Whatever you know, it happened.
I won't say at all, but I just think that principle of democracy. I mean, yes, of course, there are many people in Victoria we think we live in a dictatorship some of the time with what's going on, but we live in, as you very rightly point out, democracy that can't be taken for granted. I think we're all appalled at the way the courts, you know, bailing fifteen and sixteen year olds on many charges and things, and none of us can understand it and want a common
sense approach. But in essence, we live in a democracy and being able to go into a court is a privilege and it's a great, as you say, learning experience.
It's an incredible system and it works. It works most of the time. It's not perfect, but it's still a really good system compared to other parts around the world. Yes, can we get a cool arue, Bobby, Good morning.
To you, Good morning to the two of you, and the listeners as well. I have a little bit of a problem without justice system, and that is but now, without mentioning any cases whatsoever, I just want to say that there are a lot of cases where I wonder have a judge managed to pass such a sentence, because firstly, we're never told what causes the judge to think the way he does, what amount of leniency he's giving or not giving. And I think the system has a few
flaws there from the general public point of view. Now, the judge might be able to sit there and say, oh, this poor person's had a bad life. Oh, this poor person.
Got done over when they were young. I mean that judge might know all that, and the judge might be taking some of that into account. That to me as a listener, as a person on the outside, I don't get the full story of the case.
Would you don't because you don't sit through the drove job.
And also the judgments that are done by judge they can often be twenty five thirty forty pages long, and of course it's almost like a reporter has to do the quote executive summary as to what it is. But transcripts and judges remarks, if they're available to the public, they do go through things, they do take it into account as well. I hear exactly what you're saying. You know,
there's it's very sad with court. Sometimes we look on it with a common sense thing, but there are often other extenuating circumstances and I guess that is why a judge is a judge, and we often accuse them of being an ivory towers and not getting it right. But as we've heard many times with Tom Percy Kse and we've heard with what with what Tony Mack often says, it's a process and we don't here and it can be very frustrating. We you know, it's frustrating as well.
And Bobby, how long since you've just wandered in to the county court or a senior court anywhere in Australia and just sat for a couple of days listening to how it all works.
No, I haven't, but I have seen it.
So Bobby, I highly recommend it. You should do that, bef. You should not just get it on a TV report, you should actually sit through it, and you're and you're permitted to do that, you're encouraged to do that.
I hear what you're saying, but I would also like to see perhaps is there no way that the reporters can give a summation of it or is it just too long?
Well, they assummation. So what they do is they're reporting what is going on in court. When you see them with the microphone in front outside say more well caught or whatever, they are using their words to paint the picture as to what it might be. So it might be the accused that there stoney faced, blah blah blah, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But they're giving the
report as to what has happened in court. Sometimes you see graphics on the screen with the direct translation as to a direct direct translation, direct description as to what has been said. But they're reporting what has happened in court. They're not offering an opinion as such. And a lot of people think, oh, they're doing opinions, but they're not.
That would come after sentence is handed down, because your job is there to report what is said, and that interpretation is left up to the audience, not commentary, not commentary, No, not commentary. Thank you for the Oh well that's that's that's the that's the best that I can do as well.
It's beautifully i'd say, Bob, thank you, Leea, and Hi, Hi Tony, Hi Carole, and good morning.
I'd just like to.
Point add to you your two versions is a court is like going to the doctors. It's confidential. It cannot just blurt out names. You can't say you know. It also depends if the media says everything before there's a jury pick the jury's bias, aren't they. I mean, it all comes down to legality and confidentiality. What goes on in court as it does in the doctor's room. The doctor cannot tell anyone your and the same thing with a court. And there's also the evidence. I mean, the
evidence are the people giving evidence. I mean, there's a lot of factors involved in the court system, and reporters are just doing a basic summary ill what's happened in the court.
That's definitely right. I mean the current case we're talking about it took place in June twenty twenty three. It took place two years ago. There was publicity and reports about it before the accused was charged, And I guess it's a matter of the people that are impaneled on
the jury. If they have a long memory and they remember some of that, their role is to put that out of their mind and just concentrate on the evidence that is presented to them, which is which is quite a tough job as well, because it's quite exhausting with court hours to do it because you're there, you're focused. There, there's no extraneous stuff, there's no looking at your iPhone or looking at your iPad. You're there, focused, you're hearing the evidence as well.
Do you remember during the Cardinal pell inquiries, there was probably hardly a day that went past where you and I as journalists or commentators didn't get instruction legal instructions. Oh yes about who, how, why, where and when almost every day, and we were coached as to the real concerns that we would have should that be in breach, should we breach that. It happens not only to those trials high profile.
But most of them, most of the trials, and there are suppression orders around all the time with courts. I think Victoria, I think we've discussed it before it has the highest number of suppression orders. But you have to be I mean, there's a you know, there's a media stream that comes through order. You have to be aware of it one percent.
And there'd be people in this audience that would remember very much the Asian Chamberlain situation where in Australia, in the world really but certainly in Australia, everybody had a view. Everybody had an opinion.
Yes, everyone's going to put sure review about this current course, this current thing.
But it's some but the opinion is not the thing that's important because it's not necessarily presented at the trial. Yes, one, double three, six nine three, more of your calls either side. It is Australia Overnight, Caroli, Cats and Barnas. We're going to talk about the Tasmanian devils, Yes we are, and the fact that your great President has banned not one but twelve countries from entering the USA. We'll look at
that next. Come and join us one double three, six nine three to have your say, just so people know when we're going to do this little program on a Thursday night or Friday morning for Australia Overnight. Carol and we talk about some notes. Caraly send some notes and I look at it and I go, oh, there's some really interesting things there. Can I just read one of these notes because I found it hysterically funny? Says that me, things I would ban, given that Trump has banned twelve
truck countries. And then you said me things I would ban. So we thought we'd throw that open to the listener. One double three, six' nine three things you would?
Read?
Bad go? On CAN i read? IT i would ban main roads from coordinating traffic lights and. Flow what? YES i would also ban pedestrians who are able bodied from sauntering across a. Crossing walk with? Purpose would you add a little bit? There but let's go with walk with. PURPOSE i was taught you walk quickly to the other. Side you don't just door across just because, yeah AND i find that really annoying as. Well walk with. Purpose get and.
It's dangerous because there's a lot of different lights even if you've got the right of. Way walk with purpose and do the right. Thing in other, words their little toddlers that are toddling, Along grab your kid's hand and walk across.
Right and here's the other. Thing the underwriting rider on this list don't be a. Dick you said, it not, Me, well let me, say Because i'm going to get to get THE t shirt. Done one double three.
Six it's a couple of other things as.
Well on my list there is what are the other ones you? Had So i'm backing in reverse?
Parking, yes well it's it's. That, Yes people who can't reverse park into a spot either on the left or the right hand, side so that they don't know the angle the width of their, car so they're out of kilter with the rest of the line of park. Cars people that leave their wheels turned out rather than having the wheels. Straight you know what is that body because it makes it not only does it look, untidy cause you can get that as, well but also the other
thing is as. Well people not parking within the lines of their car, bay the lines of their car, bay so they're one little millimeter over which takes away another parking. Spot and of course the age old one as. Well very sentimental to, me the acrod parking. Bays don't park there unless you've actually got a, permit and do not leave your shopping trolleys, anywhere go and wheel them back to where they don't. Need we don't need to wheel.
Them back to around the suburbs and back to where in.
A designated shopping center car park they.
Go if that happened In, singapore well there you. Go one double three six nine three The east. Scooters thank, goodness they're on the way out.
There oh, yeah but there's another. THING i, mean line. Bikes we had to think someone left one in the road that we live, in and we've got some vision impaired people that live in the. STREET i, mean you can't just move. It it's a real lack of respect for your fellow human.
Being things that you would. Ban one double three six nine. Three we're on a bit of a.
Role we're on a.
ROLL i Wish carelly was on air more often turning maca maybe you get us three regular. Spot, well this is a regular. Spot it, is it is for. Now we love doing, it and we do love. IT i THINK i Heard helen Say i'm accused refused to. Leave, WELL i won't repeat. That the idea, IS i don't know to your, Question, jimmy thank, You david In, Israel good, Morning.
Tony and Superstar, caraally how are you to welcome back a hot feeling well.
A lot Better david than.
Is good, Morning, David.
Good, morning and happy birthday To.
Jay, yes he had a big birthday, Yesterday wednesday.
Birthday, yeah here's still, Yesterday here's still that's the. One, Yes, YEAH i would ban people from park over two spots AND i would find them instead of finding people drive at thirty one or forty one and a thirdy or Forty, yes which is just.
Ridiculous well Said well Said, david that that is. Perfect.
YEAH i wanted to Ask tony. Something let's just give him a bit of a. Tickle he said to, You caroly, said your president.
Has OH i, know don't. WORRY i gave him a kick under the. Table, no he's VERY i know he's he's just been a little niggly. Think as we say many. Times i've Known tony for nearly twenty, years so we.
Have a lot of.
Banter we're from that generation where don't take offense at the. Thing but, no you got to kick under the.
Table, no.
CHOOSY i, MEAN i don't get political on the, show BUT i was a supporter of. Trumpet the man is really disappointed in the.
Way Things there are something that he could have that he could have handled a lot.
Better.
Yeah do you think he's a bit of an Alleged, boris Alleged, johnson alleged, baboon or do you think he really is? SMART i think.
He's he's lived his life. Here he's a deal. Maker he likes the thrill of the. Chase he likes making a.
Deal he keeps telling, everybody yeah and, well but he.
Gets results in some. Areas perhaps the way that he gets results is different to how a lot of people would do. It but he shakes things, up AND i guess he's somebody and it could be the. Same he's run his own business for, well he's seventy eight, now so he's been in business for what sixty years or. Something AND i guess when you.
Get not without blemishit, no not without, no no.
No but What i'm saying is not without. Blemish but when you're when you're when you're running your own, empire you're in, charge you you. KNOW i, mean let's think of the late carry. Packer you, know, Everyone i've never met the, fellow but we hear the legendary stories of how he. Is we remember when he With doug, mulray when he pulled the station to black and he didn't
like What doug mulray was, saying et. CETERA i guess they're they're they're of a personality and an ilk where perhaps practices that they've engaged in in the last few decades are not acceptable in twenty twenty. Five but at the end of the, DAY i THINK i think his heart is in the right. Place he does believe Make america great. Again he is wanting to do. That he's turned the world upside. DOWN i don't think he's an. IDIOT i think he's. THERE i think he has good intentions in many men any.
Areas so did so did another great leader in the, Thirties, david as you well, know who took on some of the very similar concepts and it didn't end. Well who are you referring, To, well what happened in the thirties coming out Of. GERMANY i Mean.
Churchill took on the consequences and he saved the.
World i'm not.
Sure what you.
Mean, well, well, well it's probably not the time to go into, it because we haven't got time to do it, Now. David except to, say some of the things that The United states Of america Under President trump have employed there are similarities to what the then leader In germany tribed with a great, speaker wonderful, charisma and then said it's all going pretty. Well now let's go and Raid poland didn't work out well for the, world.
Should SAY i should find that and grinding him up and doing him a second. Time you can't even. Appear you can't even go, There, tony you cannot go.
There come, ON.
I, think getting getting back on. TRACK i think what it is, though and so easily we do. Forget but we look At, biden we look at what's going on, Now we look at the stuff that was AND i have relatives In, america the stuff that was hidden from them for quite a you, know for quite a few years as. Well and we look and we do see that some of the decisions and things That biden, did some of the stuff just just, appalling just ridiculous as. Well there's always blame on both, sides and, well, look
he was elected by The american. People he wants to Put america, first and we just have to see what will end up happening the.
Territory where in history has that heightened sense of nationalism Put america first been? SUCCESSFUL i think what it is one.
Case, No i'm NOT i think, no BUT i think it's For. America first, again it's wanting to get the deal For america because don't, Forget america always was called on by people What trump is a. Nation, Yes but What trump has been saying is that for perhaps too, long countries have, thought, Oh america will sweep and help us militarily or whatever it might. Be he's wanting countries in inverted commas to pay their, dues contribute. More we
know what he said ABOUT. Nato HE'S i, mean he's Urged australia to raise OUR gdp for defense spending to five, percent not you, know three. Percent and he's saying there's stuff going on in our in Our Indo pacific region with near neighbors and perhaps the things that everything that His Defense Secretary Pete hegseth said at a defense someone In, Singapore asby said about a couple of years ago To,
albanesi to the federal. Government they dismissed, that but now they're realizing that perhaps it was it was the right. THING i, mean there are many sort of issues as, well and With tariff's, look the one thing is country have been able to strike deals With america to get you, know to be able to get their. Things and he's after the deal as. Well and AS i, Said i'm not a fan of our Ambassador Kevin. Rudd there's far
too much history, there you, know to go. Into but we should be able to get a. Deal AND i think the common sense has to. Approach trump is not. Silly he knows that we're an, ally he knows that we're part Of. Orcas he's not. Silly but it's up to us to try and get that. Exemption but when you've got an ambassador that didn't scrub his social media and called The president of The United states a village idiot and a traded to the, west how are you going to feel dealing with someone?
There?
RIGHT i, mean that was ridiculous.
Stuff so When President trump's does so called executive orders and then some of the major courts around the country, said, Well, president you can't do.
That so he's going to learn that, way isn't? He but The american people that they voted for.
This called a thing called The. Constitution it's a piece of paper called The. Constitution surely that's got to be the priority and seems to be the priority for Most, americans apart from those that seem to be Following.
Trump we're Not american.
One double three six'. Nine three you'll call straight. After this It is. Australia overnight we, Love It. Caroli Katsambanas i'm tony. Mckod morning one of the THINGS that i, Often, say caroline is it's not me. Saying it many other people say that often we don't learn. From, history well no, we don't and AND that i find that. A little i get anxious.
About that but then if everyone is canceling things, and monuments so, you know statues are being pulled down, on this there's no visual reminder. You see, that's that, you know that's the argument when we see you no statues of cook or whatever. Pulled down we should learn, From history we should learn, from history but we don't.
Do it we.
Don't always and so there are parts of the world now that are reminiscent of a horrible part of world history in terms of add, it dudes in terms of claims that are reminiscent of nearly one.
Hundred Year so i've been talking to, my kids, you know in, THE morning i do various drop offs to various sport things. And things i've been talking to Them, About, russia UKRAINE the ussr And The, berlin wall and sadly they don't they're not that age yet where they may or may not get.
Taught that it can't.
Always have but it was pivotal stuff because we were, you know you live. Through history there are moments, as well and, you're right and it's. The Thing and, i've, said well You know putin was FROM, The kgb he's of. That era they never he never stopped believing in the empire and it broke up, with communism, et cetera. Et cetera and, they've gone oh and then of course they've googled and they've gone and done their, own stuff because
of course we know that curriculums. Are full but as, you say it goes back to that fall of fall.
Of communism let's have a look At roman Is.
In.
ADELAIDE na i know you're going to talk about your experience as part of. A jury roman that promised me you won't mention, NEED detail.
I won't measure. In detail but some the crown didn't. Come mine cowardly crown didn't present a good case and the, guilty party the accused party was found. Not, guilty yeah and so it was really interesting and fascinating experience.
To be On a.
Ghen was that the first time you'd? Done?
It, ABSOLUTELY yes i had been asked a couple of, years BEFORE but i was pretty busy at work at the TIME when I, begged god, BUT no i was happy to do it and in a stupid way and sort of. Enjoy it it is a really interesting and enlightening experience to see how.
It works and it's far.
From personally they come up with the times on the clown side that they don't prove or or on the or on the qu side that they.
Can't, sustain yeah and so it's it's not a, perfect system but it's the system that we had. Exactly right good on your rom and thank You in adelaide. As. Well, James, Hello, Yes.
Carolyn. James yeah did you actually sit there any Cases In west australia On.
JURIS no i.
DIDN'T know i got selected for, jury selection but on the DAY that i had to present to court there was actually a lockdown that was called and so it. Didn't happen and then that was in twenty twenty and then that was postponed for six MONTHS, during covid and then in twenty twenty one it came up AGAIN and i went back to the and there was another lockdown, as well and it was just one. Of those and then by, the time, you know borders didn't open for
another couple. Of years you just get lost in the system and they do all that and it won't come. Up again and it was one of. Those things, BUT hey i got the letter TO so i, Was selected so there. YOU go i would have, liked IT but i DON'T think i would have been put.
On one?
Did you did you have the, same thing the, lawyer's objection AND that i gave you no reason as to why they object you sitting on.
Their, cane, no.
No no SO when i got to the court there was actually a lockdown called and everyone had just had to. Go home it was a lockdown that was Called by martin McGowan at. The TIME but i know what, you, mean, no NO and i wouldn't have. BEEN challenged i would imagine THAT if i had, got there given the ROLE that i had as an executive producer of the morning's, PROGRAM there i wouldn't have been selected at the end because working, in media BEING there i was doing no,
you know well that's. MY discretion i would have disclosed it all, as well.
But you just.
Never know absolutely COULD still i, may selected BUT whether i got to actually sit on. The troll but. IT'S interesting i also find it interesting that on, a jury, you know when you've got twelve men and women, doing it just the. Differing, opinions james would you do?
It, Again.
Yes i'd love to, do.
It mate.
Oh You know i'd have to sit through a murder trial put it. That way that'd be.
TO make.
I can't see them calling me up Marg that there's, been many, many YEARS so i don't know how they sloke me the first time but sloke me again.
My name i'm not too sure how the selection works in, various states would be a difference. Between States, wou james thank you. For that we've got to do. Another one we'll come back.

For that you've been a great contributor to this program for many, a year and in my view that. Doesn't Change but i'm not particularly interested in talking about what other radio stations around the country, are doing because you choose to ring pretty much each and every one. Of them if you would like to have a, sensible conversation
feel free to join in one double three six. Nine three. Very Shortly, adam papalia sports broadcaster Wonderful With, fox footy does great Work With fox footy and is OUR six pr. Sports director we'll talk to the great man on the other side of this coming up the, Next Hour Steve. Grumpy collins there's a. Famous name we're going to. TALK travel i think we're Going, to someway rather interesting and a Place that i'm not. Familiar with he's going to
spend more time In The South. Pacific islands we'll do That With Steve grumpy collins coming up for the. Next hour it's a massive round of footy as. We know it started last night With the doggies Getting, UP no i beg your Pardon was hawks getting up Over the doggies in the end by twenty. Two POINTS so i thought it was a fair bit to talk about across
this fantastic weekend. Of footy what an opportunity to talk to The Great Adam papalie, and now for those that may not know across, Our network adam papalia is sports director AT Six pr perth is also a highly regarded wonderful Commentator On Fox. Footy paps hello and, Good morning hello, Team mat good morning. To you did you look at that game? Last?
Night, Yeah absolutely we were doing that once FOR six pr and, it, was yeah a good fight back From the hawks who had had a couple of down weeks or be it to give some of the better teams in the COMP but i think it was more about the way they went about IT that i think would have pleased their fans a, bit more a lot, more tackles a lot, more pressure a lot, more intensity and they got.
It Done damian tardio on the program. Yesterday morning on this program he went. FOR doggies, I said, i reckon hawks are going to. Do this, he, said, Nah ANYWAY so i can't wait for him to wander in here later. This morning it was really good for those that. Don't know you're a, very capable wonderful part of the younger set Broadcasters. Around australia as SOON as i spoke to people And Said adam papali is going to come on this program and have a bit of chat about, footy nationally, people,
said oh he's Fantastic On. Fox footing.
Well that's, very kind, Thank.
You TONY and i think the difference is you really seem to be enjoying what. You do it's not as if you've only been doing for, twelve months by, the way but you've moved into that and it seems almost effortless in many. Many ways. It's not it seems, that way and that's the sign of. GREAT work, i reckon, THANKS mate i.
Appreciate, that, yeah no we certainly prefervor to work into each and, every week, but no we enjoy. DOING it i travel quite as much as a two in terms of getting around the country and seeing a few of the other teams all the. Other venues but we do pretty much every week over Here in perth at the Ground for fox and then call a few of the
other games FOR six pr. As well, and, YEAH mate i love it of doing sort of three or four games a weekend at the moment and right across everything and bring on, MORE footy, i reckon can you believe halfway through the season.
That's just quickly? At them it's? Flying quickly what's? That?
About pass it does every year and then we hit the buy rounds and everyone complains for a couple of weeks that it's going, slow now and you know there's not enough games being played and the buy round should be over quicker than they are rather than. Spread across but once you get through the, BUY rounds, i reckon that lasts six to. Eight weeks that is when it, absolutely flies and then all of a sudden you're at the finals and then it ramps up for A, big september.
A big september looking forward to THAT can i talk to you? Without notice it's been fascinating. To watch no doubt you would have been doing a lot of talk on this in the, program anyway with the young corns and. The, UMPIRES now i have a bit of a special place for umpires because, without umpires we don't have, A game so the respect that they deserve should always. Be there not everybody necessarily sees it in that light.
At, THEM yeah i can't really comment on that specific thing too Much because i'm not sort of across it. As much it WAS more i think a lot of going gone that week about the incident that happened and the miscommunication that happened at a few, different levels and
then where the blame was placed. Around that, But yeah i'm probably one of the ones and people get frustrated with the umpires a. Fair BIT but i sort of Deliberately what i'm calling, the footage NOT because i don't think, they're important but sort of don't sort of mention the umpires by name too much as a, deliberate THING because i think it's then allows people individually to sort of target thinking that umpires against us today and they deliberately
didn't pay us that free kick and so on and, so FORTH which i don't think happens in. Footy year there's no umpire out there that has a bias against a particular team. Or not they're just calling it as they see it and sometimes it goes for your team and sometimes it goes against. Your Team so i'm a bit with you in that REGARD that i don't really buy into that side.
Of things YOU and i could go to any football Ground around australia historically sit there and quite often part of the entertainment seemed to be having a real crack at, the umpires, you know often referred to as things as. White mongrels all those. Years ago it was a bit of a, footy pastime a great part of, the game
which is no longer quite to that. DEGREE anymore i, don't think or is it where we do need these young people to be a part of, the game young people encouraged to be part of, the game which presumably would be the AFL's.
Concerned young people is in the fan to coming through to. Become, umpires yeah, oh no it's, a big absolutely big concern and you want to you want to attract the best people to be able to come in and, do it and it's a bit of a, thankfulest task. Isn't it whether you're umpiring at junior footy or amateur leagues or
even AT. The afl there's a lot of, scrutiny around particularly at the, top level around everything and it's a very difficult game, to umpire and, FOR me i think that the hardest thing is the interpretation of the rules mostly is what contributes to a lot of the frustration from fans as to whether it is a free kick or it isn't a. Free kick it just depends sometimes which side you're barracking for as to whether you think
it should be a free kick. Or not it's part of why we, love it but it's also.
The source of.
Frustration too, but no we need to give the umpires as much support as we can because they, without them we don't have.
A game tell us About The West, coast eagles you're part of the world Up Against. North melbourne what's incredible? ABOUT this? I think tell Me if i'm wrong. About this is the first game to be Played in Bumbrey in west To the stradia coming Up, On sunday that, is.
Correct the first Game for premiership points to be played at, that Ground hands Over. In bumbary it is called which sounds a strange name for a, footy GROUND but I think i've been trying to. Find out i'm pretty sure it's named after the first Mayor of bumbery way back in the day or something, like that, but yes it
hands Over. In bumbury so this is Part Of north melbourne who have sold a couple of their home games To The west australian teams to get some cash in the bank basically and to try and forage for some new supporters and new members on this side of, the COUNTRY which i think there's quite a Fair Few north melbourne fans, out west as, You, know tony just BECAUSE of i think the amount of sort OF star wa players that went across to Play For north melbourne at
certain times just before the formation OF, the afl so there's always been a bit of a strong link there and quite a few people that have Followed the Kangaroos In. North melbourne, but yeah the first game coming Up In bumbrey, onday afternoon it's going to be really. GREAT occasion i grew up just down the road, from there about thirty minutes further South from bumbury in a Town, called bustledon which people might know From The long jetty if they've
ever seen IT on. Tv before but it's great for, the region that southwest area all the way Down To margaret River and dunsboro. And beyond everyone's really pumped up for, the game and the ground only holds, fifteen thousand but it's sold out extremely quickly and it's difficult ticket. To get they're putting in all these temporary grand stands around to lift, the capacity which when there's nothing, ELSE there i think the capacity is only at about four or.
Five thousand but with the temporary grandstands that they're going to put in and the amount of work and redevelopment they've done at, that ground they're going to HOLD an afl.
Game there, so yeah it's going to be Brilliant. On Sunday the kangaroos now with you can get direct Flights from melbourne Straight into bustleton which is Right Near, margaret RIVER as, i said and so they don't need to Fly to perth and then drive to two hours down To bump they can fly Straight into bustleton and then it's only a twenty minute bus ride Up to bumbrey to play, the game and they based themselves in wa for the week and Then play freemattle of the stadium
As A north melbourne home game the.
Week after the.
Week after for, That one i'm sort of a little out of, THE loop i guess from a distance. These days BUT given i bet it's, been INTENSE and i know historically it's in the tents of the media because you guys Covered The west australian Covers at channel Seven in perth would. Cover it Where the eagles are sitting in, the competition it would be unsatisfactory.
To, many yeah it, has been particularly over the last or three four, years really particularly when they've really been uncompetitive. In games they've actually had a pretty good sort of six week stretch where they've been playing a little bit better footing and a lot more competitive and showing some more positive signs sort of after. Gather around they had a couple of poor performances, through there and you sort,
of thing, you, know wow here we. Go again where when's it going to Turn For west coast and when are they going to get back to being, you know the type of club that has been the mby of a lot right through the competition for a fair period of, their existence but they, seem still, you know a fair way.
Off it they took it Up to geelong last week for three quarters three and a half quarters, or so but there are a chance of certainly being very Competitive against north and trying to get the four points on. The Weekend the kangaroos have been trying to do, the same but at Least With, west coast we're starting to see them actually compete in games for a little bit longer and a few less of those big blowouts that we've particularly seen over the last couple.
Of years doccors are having a bit of.
A season they are a, roller coaster you could call it that they've had some bad losses on the, way through but they've won their last three and the things are looking Up for freo right now when you look at their run into the. Back half i'd sort of always been pretty confident on them pre season that they were going to be one of those sides contending for a spot in the finals and if everything, went right maybe a spot in the top four because they've kind of, their list they've got.
All the pieces of the puzzle that they kind. Of need but they're still a very very young team when you look at their team on paper for both age and experience. As well but for the last, three weeks after a couple of bad losses when they Lost to Some and kilda And, then collingwood last three weeks they've gone away to Beat the giants over At The, Giants
stadium They've beat port at home and. Then away they Beat the suns Up At metre con in the wet last week and it's really just put them right back right on the very edge of, the eight but with a really good run. To come so With That north melbourne, away game which will be a home game for them next week coming off, the buy they've got three of
the next four. At home then they've got seven of their last Eleven In western australia, as well which for sides over this side of the country is such a big boost, for them just because they don't have to jump on a plane. As much it can make a really big difference in the. Run home so they from this point they would certainly be expecting to, play finals so they'll be trying to keep a bit of a lid on it after some pretty big preseason expectations.
Big game here, of course as, You, know monday, it's Amazing, the Kings The king's, birthday holiday it's going to. Be Fantastic The. MIGHTY d's i don't know much about. Those ds how do you think it, Will? GO adam.
I thought they would win last week and they didn't.
Do that.
Just when you thought that they're getting their season back, on track.
It doesn't quite.
Work out it's going to be tough. FOR them I think tony given there Up against colin would have been in ripping. Form LATELY so, i, think Yeah the pie's, big crowd, good occasion as it always is On The king's birthday as it. IS now I Think colin wood'll be a little bit, too Strong but melbourne will be able to mix it with him for.
A while i hope. You're right did you have one on the Outcome of australia in the footy? Last, night.
Yes. Certainly did The soccer rus you're talking about Up. Against japan it. Was incredible it was ALMOST six i think fifty seven thousand off, the stadium which is a, terrific crowd the highest for a game of football like that for The soccer Us in wa and it was from all reports because we were DOING the afl at
the same time and sort of keeping an eye. On it from, all reports it was a pretty, dull affair pretty difficult affair, to watch and The soccer us were certain outplayed at times and not really playing with much attacking flare for most of. The game and the possession STATS for i think sort of sixty nine thirty one something like.
That in Favor.
Of japan but that's it doesn't matter because as long as you're in front when it comes to the, final whistle that's all. It is so a gold was. HIS bait i think it was his first goal in thirteen years for The soccer us and it puts us right on the very brink of qualification For The. World cup but it'd have to be an absolute disaster from here for us not to, automatically qualify so that could happen with other results going before you even have to kick. Another ball but a.
Great result Text from jason, Who, says adam would you rather call for footy or call? For radio what are? The distinctions CALL for tv or FOR radio?
Tv, radio yeah to, BE honest i really don't have a preference. FOR either i enjoy doing both very, different skill even though it doesn't seem like it, TOO much, I guess, BUT yeah i enjoy trying to craft passage of play when you can watch it along. As well but then you can be more descriptive on. Radio TWO so i can't give you an answer on WHICH one, i PREFER because i just. Enjoy both it's kind of
Whichever one. I'm doing you can be a little bit a little bit looser ON radio i reckon and have a little bit more fun.
With you that's. Probably true so that's that's. Quite fun lots of text what you've, been TALKING and i, love this lots of people saying on many levels the Miror of bumbray from twenty eight through to. Thirty three.
I'm putting my hand up. For that I'm actually i'm actually going for president of The third Team In, western AUSTRALIA which I think i'll be heading down that way to take up that position once it gets introduced for the.
TWENTIETH license i think that person was the Mayor of bumbrey the YEAR hand i think is the comment that may be from twenty eight three to.
Thirty, THREE yeah i know what you're.
Talking about i'm just Saying that i'm putting my.
Hand, up oh good. On you this is, that one, he Says Ja He Hands memorial park. Down there it's CALLED.
THE.
J E Hands. Memorial path.
It is but we just we just the locals down. That way we just call it. Hands over oh.
There, you go hands over for. The locals it's always good to talk, To You.
Adam Papale, thanks tony good to chat, to, you mate.
Good work good on You By ADAM papale a six P in perth and From Fox footy. Water morning it is a. Straighter overnight hello. To you, all right let's have a bit of fun for the year. Next half i'm not going to read any of these really quite. Nasty texts and, you know it's just it saddens Me that oprah always used. To say she would say things
like people will eventually show you who they. Really are and if you could sit here the other side of this screen and read some of the, really dreadful nasty things by way of text that, people say is just mind. Bendingly horrid we, See.
It.
Jackson the other side of the glass, sees it and it will be. Reported accordingly but, it's nasty, it's threatening and you should stop for your own, well being not, for mine not. For ours but you clearly there are some issues and you need to have. Them addressed and you know who. YOU are a telephone number one double three six nine three should you choose to come and have. A PLAY what i was going to Say Is steve
collins will be here. Very sure we're going to talk about Travel In South, pacific islands in particular for those that are familiar with, those islands you might want to jump on board and talk. About them the OTHER thing i did want to mention is some of these other great texts. As well so some of them, are horrid ninety five percent of them are. Just gorgeous well said about, The programs Tony mac we're lucky to have the THREE at.
W programs we certainly. Enjoy yours very kind of you to say thank You from julie who says read the as. Well comment just to clarify, my text as some presenters on air AND on tv over you some words like, as well not as those words should. Be used it doesn't. Make sense they also use it the end of a sentence without making any sense. At all it happens all.
THE time i said to the. Newsroom yesterday how many times do we have to have, a person usually a person with, great authority who, then says it happened at five am in. THE morning i know that was my Reaction, to jackson and we hear it all, the TIME and i, just think as a great, news presenter we need TO be.
I.
DON'T know i think we need to be more responsible for those. Little nuances it either happened at five am or it happened at five o'clock in. The morning five am in the morning seems to be a bit of, an overkill and it happens often with people who are using, not broadcasters by, the way people who are doing a clip in, The NEWS and, i think why do we even let? That Go? To, weir however maybe maybe facts,
just me, excuse me the voice. Is going The Great levi stubbs Real Name levi stubbles was Born, In detroit michigan on, this day nineteen. Thirty six saturday was seventy two when.

Supreme court ruling Of The supreme Court backs catholic charities push to object to state taxes on quote, religious grounds With A supreme Court on thursday cleared away For a catholic charities Chapter in wisconsin to secure an exemption from certain state taxes in a decision that could expand the type of religious Entities in title to tax breaks Under
The first amendments protections. For religion so this, turns out ACCORDING, to cnn was the latest in a series of decisions From The supreme court in recent years that have sided with religious groups on everything from public funding for secretarian schools to allowing coaches to offer private prayers on the field after high school. Football games fundamental to our constitutional order that the government maintained neutrality between religion. And religion,
interesting line neutrality between religion. And religion Just As sonya stomamayer wrote for a, unanimous court there may be hard calls to make in policing, that rule but this is.

Teen Compa and i've always thought that if there was going to be another turn in the Camp, after taddy
it has to be. Normal Territory the i'm just the amount of talent that that part of the stadium is extraordinary and it needs to be needs to be exposed onto the. NATIONAL stage, i.
THINK yeah i think you're right. About THAT and i don't know whether you've spent any time in that, northern territory but when you get out into the communities and you watch some of these kids as young as seven eight, nineteen eleven both boys and. Young girls by, the way they're extraordinarily gifted and they love.
THE game, i know could, you imagine, you know it's the dream time game in indigen round. BETWEEN hrishment i would love to have a team From Say terry island's come down and playoffs kick at half time to give them. An experience it may have may, Have happened i'm not SURE that i think done that in.
The past.
Use you can imagine this From a melbourne primary School playing it's kids seaweeds and they just looking at what the hell going?
On?
HERE yeah i can imagine that a game because you talk about seven nine, YEAR olds i reckon, the most the biggest noise that you would hear in a game like that would. Be laughing they just seem to have so much fun and enjoy the game. So MUCH but i, think that, YOU know, I mean i think a team from up there would just bring that to the. National STAGE and i think it would be awesome for a team to be IN the afl from.
Up, THERE yeah i agree, With. YOU craig i think and it will happen at. SOME point i don't think it's going to happen in the next, few years but
you would imagine down. The track it's got to. Be TARGETED what i do know that there's a very well known school Here in melbourne that for many many years has taken students up to play football and participate in community life at Places like Jarringen, and lombardina, you know two and a half hours up the other Side of broom IN the, i mean it's just an extraordinary thing where, they, live work, play football do all that sort of thing on a. Regular basis it is life changing, for everybody.
It. WOULD be I mean i've been Up to darwin and went over to the seaweeds. And stuff i've only gone there once in, my life, and yes. It is you could absolutely understand it be. Life, changing yeah it's just an extraordinary experience.
For those that. Don't, know craig You're, in china you do a regular visit. Over there how long would you be there? This time.
I'll be here a Weeks and i've got one week to Go before i've come.
Back home and you Are. Teaching, english, no, No no i'm.
Teaching to, ployment business but Teaching. In english any students at a level yeah.
All right so they already speak A. Little english.
Yeah, so yeah so they have to have a Level of english to do this qualification because It's a western qualification and it's just the most rewarding experience from a teacher's point of VIEW that i imagine it's just.
Extraordinary students can you comment about how important those relationships for those students are and would become in terms of what you're offering down. The track do you get a sense that there was real hidden value in nurturing those relationships with some of those young people Out.
Of?
China, oh absolutely we get a lot of the sort. Of note we get quite a few of the students who finishes the plimate and want to Move to melbourne or other universities to continue. Their studies and, YOU know i remember there was, one extent a young student this event made about eight nine, years ago who was really an, excellent student and he Moved to melbourne and he got to ended up with a master's degree in p and he ended up he had a choice of. A job
he was. Offer jobs there was One in sydney finance Firm in sydney and another in country years, a WHILE and i remember him asking which one? WHAT what i advised him to take the. Regional one that's where you're going to learn All. About australia and he did and he became A cf. A volunteer he was on in the community and he was absolutely loving it like it was just it was one of those moments where as a teacher, you think, oh wow this. Is, extraordinary yeah he.
Embraced that, BUT yeah i absolutely believe there's a value add for for, both sides for both. You know it's, just yeah it, makes sense. It, does yeah it's it's such a. REWARDING experience i absolutely.

You tony and of course buller is the three gene Work for hellow and guess where we're. Going this morning we're Going To, the south pacific.
Which we'll get to. In ester ticket have you spent Much? Time In, Tasmania no ah, well there goes there. GOES the segment i thought we're going to probably milk that for ten.
Or fifteen minutes well you're going to ask me, Questions about it.
So you're what you've Never. Been, to tasmania no.
It's a bone of contention because of my wife HAS been, that I haven't and i keep putting pressure on her to for. Us to go, and so far, Because i've met i've been to a, lot of places and, because in fact she Got back from tasmania A week before. I, met.
Her ah right. There you go she Got back from tasmania a week, before you met and the. Rest is history had you known.
Known that she was going to prevent me From, GOING to tasmania i might not.
Have married.
Her that's right she may not be the Very. Famous, missus collins well.
That's exactly right she might be. A lot happier. I.
Don't know no you've both had a joyous life and continue to have a. Pretty joyous life THE only reason i MENTIONED is because. I threw it that little question with regards to a great line from a song happened to come up in a Feed just in LUs twenty four about a button pushing cowboy was asked not to do what and had lots of responses by way of text as to what the. Answer may be some people are,
very very correct other people really really. Not even close and then and then we're talking about and then we're and, then we yeah and then We're. Talking about tasmania given everything that's been in the news about Whether At the little stadium and what, the government's doing and, it's been fascinating.
They might have They might have they might be having an. Election as well.
They could now be, going to, election which Yeah imagine most tasmanians wouldn't, necessarily want no.
Because we've just had, a federal. ELECTION you know i think people get sick of, too many, Elections, You.
Know tony i'd like to announce the date of my next elections.
To, THAT effect well i haven't had an election for, a long, time you know, because oh no it Was, back in. March wasn't it we had. Our last, Election, we did.
Yes we did what's happening in your part, of, the world now tell us about what do we? Need to know when we Talk About The, south pacific islands you specifically refer to.
What Well the south pacific. IS actually vast i mean that there's basically two different. Parts to It, you've got melanesia which is located in.
The north And.
Northeast of Australia That Includes, Papua, New Guinea, Fiji solomon Islands Vanawatu. And new caledonia and Then. You've Got polynesia now polynesia stretches right across. The vast area it is huge because it forms A, Triangle Between hawaii New Zealand. And easter ireland and the Countries, There, Include, Samoa tonga french Polynesia And. The cook islands and so basically we just Call It the south pacific because all of it is Based In. The south pacific and of, course For,
holidaymakers particularly australians they just love Going To. The south pacific now a lot of them will Go And do. South pacific, cruises they're, very very popular in which instance you visit a couple. Of different countries typically It's Usually, Say, New, caledonia vanawatu fiji because that sort of does about a week, ten days cruise and then others.
Just like to go.
And, veg out now the Thing About, the south pacific Whether it Be, milan or polynesia is you have got some. WONDERFUL islands anywhere i mean there's, hundreds of them there's. Thousands of them you've got, some beautiful beaches And both the Melanesian and the polynesian people. Are just, beautiful they're, gentle they're kind, they're happy people and why not because they live, in a very very gorgeous part.
Of, the world.
Yes and when, you go, there you know you're overwhelmed with kindness and it's just such a great. Place to relax and of course there's a lot of stuff you. CAN do, there i mean you can just redge out on a beautiful island somewhere and, do basically nothing or you can have a. LOT of, adventures i mean. You've got things you've got, excellent diving there whether you want to go snorting. Or scuba diving you've. Got brilliant fishing you've got some of these, islands quite rugged so you
can do a little bit. Of mountain climbing there's some sensational volcanoes there if you want to go. And look, at in fact one of the, most active volcanoes most active approach for volcanoes in the World, is in vanawatu and you can get up really close and. Personal to that and so there's very much to go and see and Experience In. The south pacific and because they're. Different
island groups they've, got different, customs different. Traditions et cetera and the One Thing All south pacific islanders seem to do really well is seen they're. Very musical people. They're just amazing they've got. These wonderful voices they can usually pick up a guitar or some other instrument and learn to. Play pretty quickly so it's just it's just a wonderful experience. To go, there you relax you, enjoying another culture and of course you're in one of the most beautiful parts.
Of the world so it really is a wonderful place to go for, that relaxing holiday or, for that cruise or if you want a bit of adventure to go, and you know have. A unique adventure i mean some of these places you can swing with stingrays and.
Things like that that's what we, want to do go and Swim with those.
What are?
We, doing today well why don't we, go.
And yeah well Look Here in western australia people go, and, pay.
Well yeah.
In A Place. Called shark bay what could? Possibly go, wrong we stated because we will. Ask the listener they know way more about these things THAN you. Or i do one double three. Six nine three so those of you that have traveled. Around That, area pacific Islands which has, grumpies just outlined includes. Some incredible places Would you Include Papu and new GUINEA in.
That, i wouldn't well it is Actually The largest. SOUTH pacific island i used To Live In, papua new guinea but that is an. ENTIRELY different experience i would Rate the Solomon Islands With papi new guinea, because they're. Very Very similar Although papu In guinea and solomoni Are, part of melanesia which means that they're sort of Different. To
the polynesians they're. Different ethnic group But, You've got fiji You've Not, got new caledonia and You've also got vanyawati that Are, part of melanesia and it gets a. BIT
more exciting i think they're because They're Certainly In. Papua new guinea it's extraordinary scenery because you've got you've got mountains there that that go up to in the old language over sixteen THOUSAND feet when, I lived there I used to i used To Live at MOUNT hagen and i would be driving the truck and we're going to be going on mountain passes over, ten thousand, feet you know and it's just. An extraordinary place it rained every day on the dot, at four pm.
Just when you don't need it to raid it every day for. Plus before. O'clock it's busy what one double three. Six nine three It Is the south pacific on, you've been, there been. There done that give us a call one double three. SIX nine three a couple, Of, quick calls maggie Say How To steve grumpy collins long.
Men.
Rom, p, collins.
Now yeah cruising, in a sense you're talking about a number of cruisers. In the past most memorable of those cruisers as far, as destinations go perhaps Would. Be the samoas back Then, It was Western Western and american samoa And then honey hour to visiting a hospital which was out Of Fin old World.
War two hot.
There you go there's a great piece of, The, History, there stephen.
Yeah it is and It's interesting About samoa because samoa Was normally like I'm not talking I'm Talking, about western samoa Not Not. Not American samoa but samala was Right on The international date line and it was just over the other. Side of it so what they did, was, they decided well we, don't like this so they decided that they would move their time their time and put it an hour earlier so that they were the very
first country in the world to start. The new, day so yeah they just sort of changed their, time as well should be the first country to get the day instead of the last country.
Of, the day, Benny. Thank. You maggie ben now you spotted some. Roadworks for us so whereabouts.
Can a guy?
Hey?
You travelin, Well.

Okay so that WAS happening as i was coming through, late last night ran, about TEN thirty and i, thought to myself THE very and.
I reckon it's going to go on for a good number two, or three weeks two or three weeks with the rumor that's on the, rumor file though with?
One PERSON painting can I win the?
Mercedes please too good?
On your, bed thank you you're. In the running. That's VERY funny can I win the? MERCEDES for good I think the breaking program have a great relationship with the good people Membership Of the berwick Mercedes at of berka and they do. A great job they've been part of the breaking program for, a long time so it's up for it was one of. THE rumor files i think, That's. Very funny angela we've just been Talking. Certainly, about tasmania
angela you wanted to make A comment about TAZZY. In the, afl Look certainly do tony.

Little bit better thank, you very.
MUCH welcome back i mean we.

Miss you certainly look up Into football games Stone believe overall i've been the football games at your back and LONG syst and i cannot ever.
See the problem why.
Just the system that they have a game down every probably second week in hober. AND then money i don't know what they need this idea about.
The stadium one a billion.
Dollar because it's just trying to stop them. GETTING in, me, i.
Think yeah not.
TOO well great i feel like if.
You're going to get five hundred thousand people wanted to go, to any game YOU know what i mean that as it's. JUST still thing, i just, thought you know they they're, putting you know silly team happen The cost before. Tasmin it's faulty it's consulting to people who. Love a game it's that time they looked at why they're trying to. Stop the game.
It's, a very good, Very. Good point angela you obviously Love The. Great apple isle.
It's ALL of whom i talk to on your why Go down to parliament in fantastic as you found out today, while they're blowcasting, because, he's suggesting look it's stupid.

Yes well you know it's a very popular state and. Particularly for, tourism you know it's i mean the most Compact. State in australia but, it's certainly beautiful you know's there's.
Certainly a lot would you know you've. Never been there, i've.
Seen photos photos she lets me look at her photos every, now and then totally have a look at my Photo.
Album of tasmania oh you've. Never been there.
That's exactly right THAT'S that's.
What i get.
So we were just traveling Through, the beautiful.
Yeah We'll talk about figi because that is the most Popular Of the south pacific island is what it is For, the for australians and That's. Part of melanesia but it lies About two thousand Kilbedia's Northeast, of new zealand and
it's an archipelago of more than three hundred. And thirty islands now, al it's, got you know the three, hundred thirty islands only about one hundred of them have got permanent populations and, out of that eighty seven percent of the population live on the, two biggest Islands Which are Vita Livu And. Evanua levu levu, And Of those vita
levu is. The main island it's A home to suva which, is The capital and nandy, the main airport which a lot people who fly there would Have gone to nandy and it's and it's got the majority of the population Of all of. Fiji living, there of course it's quite. A big island it's one of the Biggest, Islands in figi but it's a. Really interesting place you get your. Cultural experiences there you've got your lux resorts and, your golf courses you've got. Your family resorts it's, great, for.
Snortling diving surfing there's A Place, called cloud break which which is an internationally known. Top surfing spot and they've got a few other little islands that are just off the delivery where you CAN go and i mean that you just catch a, little boat there tire resorts, sort of thing and it's just. A fantastic place but one
of the one of the popular things. To do there part of that Is Called the coral coast and it's sort of it's a really nice drive right down the coast on the on the southwest, of the island and there's all these great, little beaches there and there's pockets of stunning coastline and you've got a lot of family friendly. Resorts down here and this is where you probably get more of the budget, sort of resorts and you've also got. Some boutique property said that a little, bit more, expensive
but look it's just sort of a very very. Laid back area great for store, we, dive in. Surfing et cetera and of course the resorts you can sit by the pool and the locals, are just. Friendly you know and this is but if you want something, Very up market fiji has got the most up market Resorts.
And.
Also French polynesia but i'm not going To Go to french polynesia tonight because it's a bit, far of, cook far, away just.
GORGEOUS you know i did the cruise there all those years ago On. The old fairsta do you REMEMBER the first.

Had that experience good on your.
Thanks. Very much so it was the year was seventy eight Seventy Nine and kylie minogue's manager who had a relationship with the GOOD, people, at, sidmo said look. He's a job would you like to spend a couple of some time traveling on? The FIRST day, and, i, said okay yes. And so did it took me three and a half years to. Get. OVER it.
Well i used to work FOR, p And O, the modern medication.

Steve grumpy collins you want to see some. Of these texts have a. LISTEN to this I Thought the international Dateline. Went through tonga will have to double, Check on that megge. Not too sure another one Doesn't.
Go Through tonga comas, east of.
Course thank you my FAVORITE holiday DESTINATION f One J One licky licky loo adults only five Star Resort near mlo melo m. A, l ololo yeah helloo over water looks. Through the floor you, can see. Kaleidescoberfish polutely, gorgeous, oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no no that's what it's our specific. It's all, about oh. Look it's paradise, speaking of paradise we're going To. Go to vanowatu now, our next one which is sort of north Of free g but do you remember in THE sixties a Tv show Called. Adventures in paradise Gardener McKay. Played Adam Troy?
Did, adam.
Troy yep yep now you'd be surprised to know that most of that was Actually, filled With california but vanatu. Featured a lot It. Wasn't called vanouat it Was called The Wallace and ellis. Islands or Something then became valewatu after that because it was Sort of Both french and british colonies that combined when It. Became vaner watu but that is one place in the world where you can,
actually get up real up close to. An actual volcano it's called the Volcano Is, called mount yassur And It's on canna island and it's one of the most accessible active volcanoes. In the world and one of the best places times to go is just on dusk because when, it gets dark you see all the red glow from inside the crater and it spits out a. Bit of lava, but you know they keep your will. Back from that
that's one of. The great adventures but the other one THAT the reason i Mentioned, adventures in paradise there was one you've heard, of land diving you know where these guys got up.
That it was.
It was a precursor to. Bungee junkie jumping they used to climb up these massive bamboo tower tie vines to the ankles and a leap off A lot of i remember one episode where they. Filmed, it there well that, wasn't probably Them Was, probably lowell thomas another famous travel journalist who used. To go there but That, is in vanahatu and that's on An Island, called pentecost island and that is a tradition still. A tradition today what they
do is you start off. As a child it's, only for males and you leap off from the lower the lower bridges because they have all these they, like diving boards and you walk on that and. You leap off and what they do is they soften. The soil helters the whole point as it is to just drag your head on the soil and then bounce back up again, without hurting yourself and then as you get, older and braver then you go higher.
Up the.
Tower absolutely fascinating but they still do that today and you can actually go and see that in Real life on vanihuatu.
If you want.
Very exciting place but the Capital of Vaner, wuardu is porta and that's a that's a that's a. Fairly quiet place it's got a it's got a, massive harbor there and one of the features of the harbor is it's got an. Underwater post box and.
What you do is you Get a water we all need, one of.
Them we do, and you well my son sent me a postcard from. THE dove down i don't know how deep it is and you dive.
Down and you.
Post send off THIS postcard and i send them all. Over the world. Absolutely fantastic place but there's a lot to do there because there was a lot of adventures stuck, glorious oh yeah and gorgeous rivers and. Stuff like that it, used to be whether it was a new hebides what.
It was called.
That's, the one yes my recollection of that that port was it was pretty good for, duty free purchase but.
It, still, IS yeah yeah i think it is that there's basically only one Main. Road in portvilla it's sort of like a big long road. Along the, harbor but yeah it used to be good for duty free probably still is because they do depend on. Tourism a lot and there's an island in the harbor that a lot of the cruise ships go to and everybody goes in and hops on this island and there's a nice beach
there and. Stuff like, that but yeah But. THAT'S in vanahwatu i think it's some of, the upper islands so that you want To Go to Tanner Island and pedecost island to. See the others and it's just and they've got it's. Very very cultural they've got these traditional ceremonies there and you can visit local villages and they're very similar to some of the they're very Similar To The papu new guineans and some of the some of the rituals and that that they do because it's a lot of.
Singing and, dancing but yeah they really get dressed up in the in their gear with their their masks on and their their paint and stuff like. A fascinating, experience so yeah that's that's that's a that's a Great place for vanuatu. Studying holiday, destination pristine beaches last rainforests and really. Rich cultural experiences so it's it's something if you want something a little bit more exciting Than, say fie g that's sort of the, NEXT step up i guess is To.
Go to, vadawatu but no it's it's just it's just. A Great Place a fete island is the at The Home. Of port vila but then You've Got, a spiritu santo which is Famous for its champagne Beach And. The blue holes now, these blue holes there's world. Class diving there they are really really. Deep dive holes you go down to and down the. Bottom of one you've got the WRECK Of The, ss president coolidge which Was Funk During. World war two, so you know there's there's a lot.
To do there it's just.
A fantastic place, and you know whatever, holiday you want excitement or just relaxation, and cultural activities it's all There. On in vanawatu and you've got a choice of really good. Resorts as well You've Got, to bay. Lodge for instance You've Got The Ratua, private island resort and you've got a lot a lot of other, resorts like that so it's another fascinating place to Visit In. The south pacific i'm just.
Having A look At. Adventures in paradise been a lot of Comments online About, adventures in paradise so have a. Look at this so You're right about Garden McKay played Adam Troy, and james holden very. Young, looking, bloke. Yeah Yeah yeah Guy Stockwell. PLAYED chris parker i.

You're Listening To australia Open eyes with. Tony McManus game.
Hodgin wanders into the studio One From The, australia overnight, newsroom sits down turns on the, microphone, and says, hello good morning good. Morning for me The Great, Name MARTHA gardner oh.
I sure am i know that wasn't, a real name. But she was she WAS on three aw. FOR many years i read her.
And A bit Of new, Z after, that, I think no i.
DON'T remember that i know she had A column in i think It, was The Herald the melbourne, herald for many, many many years and it was just compulsory reading. That Was interesting so.
I've been digging around in areas. In, this building frankly that is none, of my business but HISTORICALLY that's.
What.
I DO okay and i Found This at martha gardener Book Okay of martha gardener. Bits and, pieces for example, would you like have you? EVER made Rissoles i.
Think i've tried interfewed just a, hamburger with it no few more and they used lamb. Instead of Beef as.
So martha says, according to rissoles and you look up if you go into the trouble, Of making, rissoles martha says make good quality and freeze them as such a good standby if you are. In a hurry oh. THAT is true a different recipe is half a kilo, of, minced steak okay two, rashes of bacon chopped, and gently fried and, one chopped onion small knob of. Chopped green ginger green ginger. Allowed to cool then add it to the minced steak and the salt of the. Pepper to
taste a dessert spoon. Of, soayer sauce okay one tablespoon. Of Tomato magic.
And i'm going, to ask, you tomato man what?
Is?
Tomato, magic, one double three?
Six nine three what? IS tomato magic A dash? Of worcestershire sauce.
Can you get? These things anymore.
One tablespoon, of brown vinegar the juice of, half a lemon one, beat and egg one, teaspoonf of nutmeg half a teaspoon, of powdered cloves one small tin, of pineapple pieces two slices of. Crumbed white bread hang.
On a minute you said this was the. Quick and easy rest.
This is the quick according to ba this is, the.
Bible pineapple pineapple.
It is one half a, teaspoon of nutmeg half a teaspoon, of powered cloves one small. Tin of pineapple presumably was, a golden circle but it may. Not have been two slices of crumb white bread mixed, all together well and then roll in dessertspoon. Lots of flour and.
It, DOES sound, nice i KNOW doesn't, sound i mean you know you put pineapple in, a hamburger sometimes but in an inside any actual result.
Do you have i've never. Heard of, that speaking which do you Have a smelly have you ever had? A? Smelly? Refrigerator oh yeah do you know how? To remove it.
Get everything out and see what needs to walk?
Out by Itself, according to martha your refrigerator will stay fresh and sweet smelling if you wipe it out quite. Regularly. With, vanilla okay also a good idea is to keep a saucer of mixed mustard on.
The lowest, shelf mixed, mustard a saucer.
A saucer of mixed mustard on. The lower shelf how?
Does that work?
When you're moving therefore, close the door pack the fridge with newspaper sprinkled with vanilla when.
You're, moving house yes when you're.
Moving and therefore must. Close the door packed the fridge with newspaper. Sprinkled with vanilla interesting when. You're.
MOVING house now i don't know when this. Book was written it's looking very eighties.

The united states she's a hard partying college dropout who has riapped a windfall, from artificial intelligence and Her Name, is lucy gow a self professed workaholic who rides an electric skateboard to work when she's not being showfeed, by an assistant as a net worth of one point three Billion, as of Wednesday, more than, Taylor NOT million So i think taylor was sitting on about one point
one billion or. Something like that now she came up with A Company called scale ai and it was a firm really founded By Her with alexander wang in twenty sixteen when she was. Just twenty one and now the company has been valued at twenty five billion and it just closed on a deal on The. First Of june now goo has admitted she never buys groceries instead just orders all The meals from uber each of.
Course she does why would she got tell us about this newport man's quest to cover or recover of you like a lot of. Money, in bitcoin.
Well this happened twelve, Years. Ago there, tony you know we'd like to be up to date.
With, these stories yeah but he's.
Been looking for all these twelve years with this. Lost hard drive you may have remembered the story seven hundred and forty two million. Dollars in bitcoin now he finally. Ended His search JAMES howe's and it worker once held a fortune that would only you could only, Really. Dream Of dony but massaga began in Twenty thirteen when howe's routine office cleanup discarded a hard drive that held the private key to his bitcoin watt and he threw it out and it fell. Into the landfill and he's been.
Looking ever since he, had aipowered, drones robotic systems even tried to sue the local council to access more. Of the landfill And Now a los angeles based production company has acquired the Rights to tell how's story in a. New, docco series well we'll see how.
That turns out tell us about this new obesity pill, that sort of, if you like apparently. Mimics, gastric lapbending look this.
Is an innovative method for weight loss by. Redirecting nutrient absorption now to groundbreaking. New obesity treatment it's in a pill form and is showing early promise in a first. Of its kind the research has tested synt, one oh one a once daily oral medication designed to safely and shift nutrient absorption to the. Lower, and testine, now this process, like you said mimics how gastric bypass surgery helps people lose weight and manage metabolism without the. Need for surgery how.
About that one clinical trials are, Happening. Right now tony so forget ozepic. And the rest this seems a.
Lot safer.
Forget that's it we're. Going to forget it's. A lot safer. There's, this man now he's got this test. Up AND running how i? Get this right performs a test to, see if she whoever, she might be is in fact nothing more than. A, goal, digger now.
Look imagine being asked to pay, for your date only to realize it was just a test to weed. Out gold diggers well promising first date took an unusual turn for one woman when she found herself the subject of an expected and highly uncomfortable test organized. By, her date now the date was set up by. A mutual friend the twenty nine year old woman and her thirty one year old date met for a coffee and some pastries. At a cafe the date, actually went well, lots in
common it. Had, great conversation however when the one hundred, dollars bill. Arrived things changed her date handed her the, bill and said is it okay for? You to pay, after she, paid, he said congratulations you've. Passed the test, on he, said he said you're not. A goal bigger but the guy says he was burnt many times in the past and expected him to foot the bill. For, many, things dinners trips. Everything like that now he does this just to make sure they're not go all diggers.
After, his money well it's actually not. A, poor strategy.
Well you know you.
CAN do that i don't know how that's going. To, Turn, out sometimes.
Well let's ask the audience if you were in a similar situation and somebody asks you to quote pay the bill, in those circumstances what would?
Your?

It's martha stewart she went.
To jails there she didn't get.
To prison. Here, she did yeah there was a doc ricent doco about that was pretty grueling. Of the time you can imagine how intensely it was. At the time but she did serve time. Absolutely very much so you're going to do. The right thing what About, Those, soccer rus.

Right around australia nice to, have your company, Come And join. Anthony robin McManus one double three sixty nine three zero four double seven six nine three. Six nine three for those. Sending our text and here's the thing with, THE text messages, i implore you and you know, who you are to. Keep it classy. It's really important it's important. For the
program it's content. FOR the program. I love it i, love sharing text but if it's really really rude and, nasty towards listeners, towards programming decisions, towards staff members, towards other, Listeners other contributors if in any, way it's nasty it's not going to. Get a, run so frankly you. Just don't bother if you choose to make a relevant comment by,
way of text you're. More THAN welcome but i do ask that you keep it reasonably tasteful and, classy if possible and make it entertaining and inform that people can enjoy. THE quirky. Remarks i appreciate some of them are cheeky and can never be published anyway. As CERTAINLY broadcast and, i get, it it's. Funny it's entertaining but those of you that are just having a jab, at the program jab, at other listeners that makes no. Sense to me it.
Doesn't go anywhere it's just a waste of time and frankly a. Waste of space interesting story in papers today include but, not limited too container return for, the first Time Certainly. SINCE south australia i think they, were the first According To the, age That's correct introduced australia's first modern container return scheme back. In seventy seven. There you
go they, were way. Ahead weren't they every state and territory in the nation is now paying, cash for containers billions of bottles and, cans being recycled and a marked action in. Coastal Plastic, litter in, victoria for example one point eight billion container has been Recycled Through the container
deposit scheme. Since It's launched in november of. TWENTY twenty three a Government spokesperson said victorians had collected something like one hundred and eighty six million dollars, from the scheme including the one point nine million donated to charities, and community groups which. Is just fantastic last state to introduce its Own, scheme was tazzy which began In, operations in may collected more than one point two million bottles and cans in the. First four days makes you wonder why it.
Took So long, Big, skin girls. Artie, thank you no not the one we were going for on, the First. Date says michael this, is a text. Really good. Text first date generally it should be round about fifty to fifty. FOR the bill i don't know how it. Works these days been. A long time first day generally fifty to fifty. For, the bill however if the bill, isn't too much the
bloke can. Offer, to, pay well yes, BUT then again i would assume that if there's, two people going, you could share share, like a bear have a bit of, fun discussing IT and then i like to break. Down the bill what? Did you have you had, the potato gems you. Had the chips you had two. CUPS of coffee i just. HAD the one i had a glass. Of red wine you. HAD a beer i paid more for the red one than you. Had the beers so that's. A total love your share is twenty seven dollars and
my share is. Twenty five dollars if, you don't mind why? Would you? Bother alison?
Morning GOOD morning well i had, three little Points but now i've got four breaks down a bill like we're, going, to, say like no, it's so. Rude it's disgusting and on, a thirst date the like.
Has to pay.
What? Did you say why do you have to pay because you be arrested if you. Left, the restaurant no the mail.
Has to pay your date has to. Pay for you.
Is that IS that, the i mean that's an old fashioned? Is It not if? I'm?
Still THERE yeah and I just wonder.
And that's probably the basis Of, this quiz elison on the basis of has things? Moved? Since then though if, you were out if you, were sitting down you're having a capitia or a, cap of coffee would you not offer to buy that person a capitia or? Cap? Of COFFEE oh.
Yes i would but then but on a first stage, WITH a feller i would half expect him to.
Pay, For it yeah and so how would? You manage that when you're sitting at the table, the bill comes do you offer to contribute or do you just assume that.
They take the bill and they pop their credit card in and just.
Pay for.
It that's it there's no words. To be exchanged but, if he goes oh we'll go, fifty to, Fifty really okay well you're, out the door.
You're, at the door you're. Done, and dusted yes so so you this is. AN interesting one i don't mean to get, personal about this so you wouldn't say, you, Wouldn't say well I'm happy to i'm happy. To PUT in.
Well i would if it came. To THE stretch but i went out on a date or this, is years ago and we went. Out for dinner well that was. Fifty to fifty he was the biggest tied arf And he's On teleyoff and i'm certainly not going to say.

It up if you.

And religious weddings then it gets really political because women Can't read the torah or. Pray out, loud but homosexually homosexuality, is quite open and girls in bikinis or.
Hair totally covered, and you know, before they marry they're not even allowed to hold.
Hands, or, kiss no no are?
You?
Kidding, me no no not allowed, to, hold.
Hands kiss nap but then it's not legally, recognized their marriage.
So THEY go to I.

LOVE you both i.
Love you both with this knock, on the door.
Leave the.
Food that's it And she's an asian lady and she does the most beautiful garlic soup.
And rice dishes.
She left something at my. Door last night well part of it was like some cabbage singing a plastic bag with some THINK thing which i really don't know. What it is but the other thing, was just, yield massive BALL and all, I could think i don't know where my mind goes SOMETIMES it because i saw a documentary on, calftrating.
Bulls.
Springing springing tears to my, eyes just quietly.
And it looked like a bull's ball or testicle if you're allowed to say that word, on the, radio sure you because that's the, technical words logical so we'll. Still with testicle so it looked like a large testicle.
That had been better than deep ride, and cured.
Right what of these one? Are these DAYS just before i leave this, Great radio program i'll tell you one of the greatest gags of all time about the bloke that had a very similar situation while playing at. A roulette table WILL do tell i can't because it would be THE last thing I do before i leave one of the great radio stations. In the world but it's the all Time funniest gag.
I've, ever, Heard, Right excellent.
Allison it's always. Good to chat we'll do. It again. Soon thank you by a little bit to? Cover off there who would want to kiss or Handhold with? A collingwood supporter, hush But funny it's aerosmith dream, on Great. Ad says gary, there you go so it's. Other people recognize have we been able? To find It the? Dream on ads see if we, can find it we might see we can do it when, We. Come back tony there is no way the bloke should pay. As it is it should be fifty to fifty as, ALWAYS and
forever i will never This. IS from jam i will never allow anyone else to. Pay for me there is no such thing as, a, wink, wink nudge nudge say no? More free lunch.
Is?
That the way let's have a listen to this here it is see if this is the ad and, there's, no volume, excellent any volume no ever listen.
To this here it is EVERY outside that i look all these glas.
On my field this. Is really clever.
The. Past is, gone.
Say man stay, for me here stay for the left them see the pollits here staying up with.
Me bulletins an we'll.
Take you away.
Extream extream streams stream same.
Streets. With, paramount plaster yes, that just genius. Beautifully well done i've, Not. Seen it allison that was. A great game thank you for thank you for. Pointing that out we will do this when. We come back more. Of your calls come, And Join, us markey stall you'll be next to to All Part. Of australia revenue top. Of
the morning to you on this program. And to others i've often made the point that it would be interesting for people more people to put their hand up, for political office whether it be, at council level whether it be, at state level or, should you choose even at, a FEDERAL level because i think the idea of contributing of that level doesn't necessarily, occur to everybody but those when pushed or shoved or cajoled or encouraged is probably even,
the better word, encouraged to participate bring new life to what Is otherwise in australia are pretty dull for. The most part and then there's also a part of, me that says why? Would you really? Why would you things that sometimes you have to endure as a person who has. Done just, that for Example The former Victorian Opposition, leader john pisciutto who is pretty now close to securing a deal to bail him out two point three legal debt threatening.
A political Career Multiple senior liberal party sources have been Quote in the paper today has become increasingly confident of a deal being done with an entity closely tied to the party that would see him loaned up to about one point five which will allow him to. Honor that debt it's just tricky to find yourself in these. Sorts of things and that's. Just one, example of course there are many reasons WHY you and i might not consider
or think about getting involved. In politics now but what we need to insist on setting up environments where surely
where we. Encourage younger PEOPLE and when i, Say younger people i'm thinking from the age, of thirty plus those that have had maybe a little bit, of life experience that, may have studied that may have been very much part, of the game that the following politics for, a long time and then get involved, in a meaningful deep and meaningful way and then show up down the track as great leaders because we know this country is in desperate need of great leadership and at least if we, don't
encourage it we need to and we should encourage it to guarantee that we have better quality of leadership that maybe than what we've had. In recent times now that's, not About everybody, but i'm generalizing but we need to make sure that the right people, are in place. Whoever they be they've just got to show up and do a really good job And shouldn't be they shouldn't shy away from it given some of the crap that they
have to endure as part. Of their process mark you, could be, One for example i've been saying for nearly a, couple of years you should put, Your, hand up.
Uh see what happens mega, What happens.
Here i'm place to hear you haven't completely completely gone. Off the idea.
See what happens they're a bit. Of said news in, The Transport industry tom watson's closing down after seventy years buying business was most famous for.
The small goods for.
The small, Goods.
Don's.
Good donnie's good don is good.
And he's TRAGICALLY killed at ba first when a couple, of Decades ago now lord took it over That, THEY have yeah i was just reading and decided to. Shut the doors.
We'll get. That story up so it's when? Was this pronounced just in the, last twenty, four thirty.
Six twenty four It Was in, Big Wiggs Magazine.
Big Wigs. Magazine big rigs.
It's A Magazine. Called big rigs you get out the, Truck stop now I'm.
Sorry big, rigs, all right okay, HALF the time i have no idea what You're talking about. Big rig magazine what?

Yeah, great trainsport yeah they do a lot Of, store, engine.
Yeah, okay yeah watson who is the managing director Of The. Company Big Rigs don watson transport would see his collections would cease collections from the end Of the. Weekend june Nine final. Collections june nineteen.
It's a bit of, After seventy years.
WELL it is i mean. Those big brands you would have thought it doesn't Say in this he said the equipment one hundred and forty trucks and one hundred and, seventy trailer trucks so would be sold in, an orderly fashion so there'd be a. Bit to sell but you would imagine as a viable business it wasn't more attractive. TO the market.
I.
HAVE no idea i have no idea.
On that, one but yeah well you could do a bit of homework for us. And find out speak to some of. The big wigs see. What, they're saying yeah.
GOOD on it i will find out and. Let, Me know yeah i'll just a little bit more reading on the weekend And that Tes. Maine and fiesco.
It What, a mess well but it'll work. Its, way through yeah it's messy, at the moment but it'll work, ITS way through, i would hope particularly with they've got. A great person the chief executive of the footy club, who's in place is As smart as i've ever known with a, great track record surrounding himself by some, really GOOD people and i would think that on, that basis alone that's where my. Money would go.
What's going to be watch this space a little bit.
AND it, depends i mean it's not ideal for the government going into on hold and probably maybe, even facing election but we'll know. MORE about that i would think later today one way or the other where. That officially lands but it's not, the ideal situation but you know it will make one day a remarkable story in the next. Five, ten years.
Well putting, a roof over?
Who's?
Worried ABOUT what am i played? At your park? In one system where It's halfway between bernie? And how that why? Stick it there stick it down the bottom of the bottom.

ANY of those i know we went through this In Wa with upta stadium and it went on for, many a year many a year before the decision was made to put up the stadium where it Is. In, The perth well i'm, not too sure and there was a. Lot Of resistance well i'm not too sure now that anybody would want To Change where. Upter, Stadium is.
No i've never, seen the STADIUM even when i was, driving over THERE and now i have made it comment when you.

Next time you do go for a driving that part, of the world you. Will notice it it is a wonderful looking. Piece of equipment very near the casino that was pretty much a bit of a golf. Precinct through there that's all. Disappeared and gone there's a great. TENNIS center there i think. That's still, there that's wonderful but the place for it is. Just.

You love it and then it was JUMP on the jps capo.
And away You go and marky have a Fantastic Weekend in. West, foot's great. Jimmy good, morning, Excuse.
Me then jackson, FIRST of ALL i thought i heard you ask a question earlier that confused. Me a bit the better. Button pushing cowboy so.
It's a great line from a song and it refers to a. Button pushing cowboy what's the name, of the song? Button pushing cowboy and what was he asked? Not to do the? Button pushing cowboy what was he asked? NOT to do.
I can't remember the song tiny the only COW boy. Song i remember HE'S The song I want To. Be a cowboy but that's not the song. You're, talking about.
NO it's not i want to. Be a cowboy you can? Be my cowgirl is?
It, the one yeah THAT'S a, song I remember but. I don't remember that's probably not the.
Song you're talking what about the? Someone else, earlier jimmy said What About?
The?
Rhinestone, Cowboy Oh yes glenn campbell my favorite song with, His great song but it's not.
That one, Either, No, anyway tony yes yesterday a film opened At The, cinema's the Ritual and al pacino is going to Be in. A nixicism film did?
You?
KNOW that no, i did. Not, years old no he's going to be in. An, exorcist, movie.
Yeah NO from, What i saw, well quickly said they say it's going to be, the most horrifying terrif finding Exorcism film. In american history and ALSO another thing i. Rang YOU about when i was Listening to, A jackie yesterday i don't know if. You were listening there was a lady very upset that gave her an email said she Went To a shell express for a coffee, and
a sandwich and the coffee and sandwich cost her. A ten dollars when she checked her, account later on they'd charged, her entire savings which was six and a. Half thousand dollars, and she said if it weren't. For her friends she wouldn't have food to feed her, animals and herself but her. Neighbors helped her and then she said when she rang
up she couldn't. Get a person there was just, an answering machine there was no one to talk to accept, an answering machine saying that she wouldn't be able to get her money back. For three weeks and then later on someone else text to the mile saying that he had been overcharged. Two, Thousand dollars really but, the thing is the thing is when these, people got charged they must not pass for a receipt to check their. Account Straight away but jessie said she's going to follow.
It UP today well i, hope She does and i'm. Sure she will it just seems those things seem, odd TO me and i know they happen, all The time and i'm not too sure. Why they happen is it because people don't as ask for the receipt and check
the receipt before they walk away. FROM the, register i know if, it's a serious if it is very much, A serious transaction i will always ask, for the receipt look, at the receipt then check the phone to see how much has come out of the account pretty quickly, in the system Certainly through, the westpac system it comes up pretty quickly on the phone within a moment of how much. You've, just paid well.
That's a lot of the people that been. Getting charge much they must be, in a hurry and, they must say don't worry about. To receipt lately and then it hits.
The fan and, Here's the thing all, of a sudden you hurry or the fact that you've lost a.
Lot, of, Money yes So and then jackie said she tried to get these people on and no One will dancewer and she said she doesn't care if they come on her program. Or another program just come on and explain what's happening. With, these overchargers well.
It'll all Be On the jackie felgate program three aw just after three, O'clock THIS Afternoon Did i tony mack you played every? Breath you take have a look at some of the sting playing That song live. TUSCANY acoustic version i Can only imagine, having said that if you have a look at the have a Look At the, its podcasts podcast which is fantastic and part of the podcast they featured history of, certainly the band but featuring it's really about sting police and then the Year solo career.

THE breaking program i think it is, Late As yesterday peter ford told Three at w Breakfast the projector gonski reports in The paper, today herold's done confirming that that's probably going to get. A big tick will well untruly be gone and replaced with some sort of other current. Fizzh type Program Rob's in, Melbourne. Town, morning, robou yeah hey you go.
As it naturally hey you? Going, very, Well.
Okay good i'm, really well, right really well, thank you. Good.
Thank, YOU makers here i shall tell you a story of what happened ten years. Ago regarding receipts please. Do family out took. ME family out i think It was, in maldon somewhere and it has now sort of gone under and we row have a lovely night and that. Sort OF thing and i came home and the next morning my wife said that. IT costs, Much i said i'll check. ME a receipt i looked at the receipt and the guy charged me thirty five dollars tip. Without my knowledge, and that's.
Wrong THAT'S wrong w i went.
There, the next day showed. IN a, receipt, I said mate I didn't didn't i ain't give you thirty. Five dollars tip he looked at, it with embarrassment went under the counter and gave me. The money back and that that company went under that, a YEAR later, and i thought, that's just stealing taking, advantage of us? Wouldn't, you say.
Yeah well, It seems odd BUT again it's i think it's incumbent on each and every one of us to. Check our receipts now we don't. ALWAYS do it, i get it but it just makes you're acutely aware that we should do that each and every, time we, transition.
You know transact, that's exactly right not just that you do not have to tip.
In This, country, in america yes because the wages, are very like but you don't, have to.
Tip, do, you yeah well.
WATCH this space i suspect there might, be a time not, too far away will we have more of a Tipping culture in australia than maybe what we. Are used to got a sneaking suspicion there'll be some. Changes around that we've got. To do this when we come Back Out The, Carton Footy Club sir robert menzies is back on the agenda And.

OF australia overnights i can just now imagine the phone call between one d okay, and missus okay who is now. On the phone, so you've done what, you're looking at what, you're thinking about what it'll hit the proverbial good good. On your tennis thank. YOU for that i had the pleasure a couple of weeks ago of going into A
beautiful land rover dealership just Over Here. In port melbourne spoke to some really lovely people there, and, they said well, what you're waiting would you like to make yourself a cup of tea or a? Cup OF coffee and i said that would, be VERY kind so i made myself a. CUP of coffee i happened to notice that, the sales Manager Good, morning ben ben was dealing with a client who looked to be just collecting his beautiful. New motor
car albeit a top of the Was. A range Rover, Large range rover, i'm thinking ballpark probably, two point fifty maybe as close. As A three and i just sat there watching, the DELIVERY process and i was so impressed. With the idea, what for, us me immortals what would that feel like for somebody who's in a position to be able, to do that to go and spend two, and a half, probably three million three hundred thousand dollars
on a beautiful. New motor car the whole ceremony of it was in chanting just, to WATCH it and i did watch it for, about twenty minutes and it really just a whole. Lot of fun so it, occurred to me what would that be like and is that part of a tradition and how important is that? In these days we thought. We'd, find Out, Paula, miss autocats, Paula good, Morning.
Good morning tony and all tuning into. Three aw overnight.
It just seemed like a lovely thing to sit back, And WATCH that AND i think i mentioned to you on the phone what a lovely sort of sense of.
Occasion, that was yeah, the delivery process it's such. An interesting topic when you, bought it up actually because we had a good long, chat about, It, it did yeah you. Bought it up and THEN of course i took That Experience From Range rover land rover into other dealerships and started discussing, the topic again because one size doesn't fit all, in dealership's time every dealership and every brand actually has a completely, different delivery process.
And so whether you're dealing with SOMEBODY at a heyndi dealership or in this case where you're dealing, with you know a Big RAIN drover jaguar jla precinct to Rend The. CORNER import melbourne i guess the intention, is the same is to make the customer feel very special one.
And it's when we're going through sales, Training we actually i'll never forget years AGO they if i could somehow highlight this for listeners that they say that the excitement levels are actually reversed from. Salesperson to consumer, so on sale the salesperson's excited because they've, made a sale and the consumer is a little bit nervous and apprehensive because they're spending money and they don't know what's going on
and should they. Or shouldn't they but then on, a delivery process the salesperson is a little bit stressed out because they have to make sure that everything's perfect. For the consumer they have to make sure all of their paperwork is right because WE don't have. PDF electronic, signatures i mean the automotive industry is, full of paperwork still. Nothing is electronic, and the customer the. Consumer is excited so it's a. Very interesting process i'd love, To.
Find out paula whether somebody listening who's, PICKED up recently, i don't know Say a High lux From Toyota or ford ranger or The equivalent from ford as the two leading contestants in terms of people that will be listening right now driving to work and need much love yout the idea of, purchasing that car, owning that car taking ownership. Or that car would that be any different to somebody who's just picked up the top Of The range RANGE rover or, i don't Know. Even, a porsche.
Yeah the question is should?
It be yes.
Should?
It be DIFFERENT see when i was having it chat through a, couple of MANAGERS actually because i took this question to THE industry because i think it's actually. A brilliant question should? It be different should there be a variant, in the delivery in the exclusiveivity of the delivery dependent on the amount that.
You're actually purchasing the cut for the other thing, that Came.
Up and i'm sure you've looked, At, this too paula is the idea of how long. A delivery takes in the days where the keys might have just been handed over and, it, was hello goodbye thanks for signing the check and off you go and see when you come back. For a service there's a fair bit of explanation now because some of these things are. So, highly technical yeah when.
We discussed this attorney was interesting because in pack in the, as you, said there was there was very the features and the benefits of the vehicle just weren't as filled or jam packed or loaded or whatever terminology you'd like to use as what. THEY are, now i mean the cart. Basically drives itself so if, you can imagine the salesperson has set standards from the manufacturer to ensure that we've gone through everything. With the customer so the customer will
get a survey and say did? They explain everything so it's not even just a matter of trying. To explain everything it's ensuring that we explain it and. The, customer understands now there isn't just turn the lights on and offo move the seat backwards. And forwards anymore and there's the indicators and would you like me to possibly tear your phone to the bluetooth when. That came out now we have to go. Through our, connectivity you know, how does radar?
Cruise, control, work.
Boots, doors everything's electronic so. WHERE the delivery I remember when i, was selling cars the delivery could possibly take two thousand and, five and six maybe fifteen. To twenty minutes now it's approximately at least forty five minutes to.
An hour, And, a half yeah to go through.
It all thoroughly so that presumably customer is is somehow satisfied at endorsing the fact that they've made this. Quite. Considerable decision yeah.
And then you know what's the most interesting thing is the customers will generally now. In this speccion i've noticed in the last, year or two with all of the new, cars coming out the hybrids and all of, the new features a lot of customers are coming, back to dealerships and a lot of sales people actually venting to me because they just do a lot of sales people are actually venting to me saying THIS is, just i mean we, love our customers but they're coming in because they're just not.
Understanding the features they need to be explained and shown time. And time again and it's, it's, hard.
Work, yeah of course but there's nothing. Wrong with that so in terms of based, on your experience in terms of dealerships and the? Trends these days? Are there gifts there used to be things that, BE you know, i don't know you put a blanket on the back of one, seat or something or to make that whole process a little more interesting and take these home. To the kids is that sort of also a thing with somebody buying? A new car.
Depend it's completely and purely. Dependent on dealerships so, each Dealership generally and i'll say generally every manufacturer franchises their dealerships out to, a tribe entity whether it be a group or whether it be an individual like. A McDonald's franchise a dealership is, actually privately owned so it's actually dependent on that corporate body that decides whether they are going to give a.
Gift, Or not okay so that's that's separate, to the agreement, if you like it's over.
And above exactly and it was funny how to chat for a few people, about this topic, just DIFFERENT dealerships and i just wanted to pick THEIR brains.
And, i, said oh well how, is you Know how?
Is tony's, experience you know he saw these beautiful gifts being given and one of the comments from, a particular, individual, he said oh well you know they're buying a three hundred, thousand dollars car got lots of, money to give file to give all, these pretty gifts but now look gifts gifts every dealership. At different times too hard to, SET a, standard.
I guess yeah but you can imagine for anybody who's, and you, could you know could who what would it be like to Go And. Buy rolls, royce for example you're buying The Fully, electric rolls royce which is going to come in over one million dollars well and truly these days for the fully Electric, version in australia and that's before you've added any real. Bells and whistles what would that experience be like as the as the salesperson is wandering around this incredible, car with you WE.
Have, To, i say TONY you and i GO down to i think THIS is the gami Groups That. HAVE rolls royce i have to double check who.
Owns, that one now and we'll have to go and find out exactly.
