far away for. You thank you To, matty they're looking after the nighttime program five DOUBLE A and to our very Own Dennis walter here at three aw you might be part of THE Ace radio networker right Throughout victoria and into southern parts Of New South wales as. Well and AS i, said six pr In perth one double three six nine three For perth listeners one double three eight eighty two zillion texts coming. Through we'll get to as many as we. Can zero four double seven six
nine three six nine. Three so write that text line down if it's easier for. You zero four double seven six nine three six nine. Three Heather, pennington good, Morning, Yes, Heather, hi good morning A tony Speaking hello you Saadther tony.
Here oh Hello, tony good to hear. You you. Two look if you if you had a firm and you stand your ground and the you know they were going to take it away from you through maybe perhaps Through this is just a scenario That i'm thinking through you, know drought or you can't feed your stock or, whatever you. KNOW i, mean there's enough suicide around.
There What i'm trying to.
Get at is it's really sad that a policeman was killed a shot because this man was they were down to take his farmer rat way right In. Tasmania and it's really sad BECAUSE i can see both sides of. It, yeah and oh my goodness. ME i mean it's a crisis, situation you, know to take the session of the farm you've you, know you've worked for all your. LIFE i don't, Know i'm, sorry but maybe did they have you, know those thiss what do they call?
Them this or?
Something, HEATHER i have no idea whether they would have had vests is the short. Answer, however any officer anywhere Around australia who.
Is going they don't deserve.
That, no they don't deserve. That they're going about their job and doing the job to the best that they possibly. Can that's, right under excruciatingly, awkward difficult. Circumstances they deserve to be able to go home at the end of their.
Shift but you, Know, tony you, know back in the old, days going back fifty years, ago the you, know the, cockies the, farmers you, know and they had a real bad week, time you, know no no. Profits they used to allow my mum to look up for kids' clothes everything like. That cats glubs and cane and. Haberdashery And i'll tell you, what even the the you know where
you get the petrol, whatever they let you book. UP i don't know if they do that, now whether they can do, that but you, know when the week.
Pay can come and then they could pay it.
Off but it is a crisis situation to take session of a. Fam oh my, Goodness oh my. GOD i just feel for both sides.
Of, them you know, here that's a very INTERESTING i, MEAN i think a lot of businesses wouldn't be able to do that in incremental ways all many years. Ago i'm sure that would have been the. Case happened.
Today i'm not.
Too sure that they're in a position to be able to do that because many of which are now corporately. Owned so when back in the, day the local grosser might be able to be selective and, say, look missus, McManus we're going to deliver the groceries to. You things are a bit tired at the. Moment why don't we wait until the pay comes in next week before you pay. Us would they would select the people then with whom they may have been able to help or you, know be of. Help BUT i don't know how you do
it in this corporate. Sector maybe you. Can maybe there are businesses a rendistrator that do that. Either it's a great question we'll ask the audience one double three sixty nine. Three those, relationships particularly the farming community being able to have over the, years how do you actually manage those payments in difficult? Times one double three six nine. Three look who it? Is california right in? Wa, hello, ah.
Good morning or, yeah good, evening hello right WITH i always believe that treating the cause of any problem is better than treating the. Symptom and for, me most problems in life are caused by not having common sense and. Narcissism i'll give you a perfect, Example.
Tony.
Please i'm seventy four And i'm still a cyclist pretty much full time and hardly ever drive my car except twice or, not just to keep it in. Shape but the greatest FEAR i have every day WHEN i go out on my pushbike is being hit by an e cyclist or e bike is my biggest. Fear And i'll bring in this treating the cause rather than the, symptoms because it's not so much the e bike, is of course the person that's writing it. Now if we aren't treat the cause of the, problem which is being.
Without common sense and being, narcissistic just caring about ourselves will never resolve these problems that are getting worse and worse every, day with more hospital so called accident that are happening every day with e.
Bikes, yeah AND i know In Wa ray it's been a big event, recently certainly in the city area has been AND i know they put them on hold for a little. While not a great fan of the e. BIKE i know people are, young people love them to scoot around. Town it seems that. Way but in many of our major cities we have other forms of transport which seem a heck of a lot, safer maybe not quite as, affordable but a. Tram you get a tram Around,
melbourne appoly around that city, area it's pretty. Good what is the distinction between those e bikes with a race around with little or no consideration for other traffic end or. Pedestrians always good to talk to, You. Ray thank you is Sir bell In South.
Australia, hello good, morning good, morning halfway through The festival Of tiny nearly.
Halfway, well you're, right it is, yes given today the, seventeenth so towards the end of THE, festi, oh. Don't you've just ruined the rest of the month for.
It And i'm the only one it really knows your. Age BUT i WON'T i won't state it. AGAIN i don't want to ruin your night or your.
Morning well it's a little secret that you can take to the, Grave.
Isabelle but you look, amazing you, know and you are the sexiest man in the.
World, well thank. You as opposed To. Clooney oh, NO i don't like.
Him you don't Like?
Clooney what about?
Tom oh, no no, cruise not a.
Cruise who's the who's the who's the most gorgeous hunk on the planet at the? Moment, oh that's a very sexiest thing to say, that who's the who's the best looking bloke on the planet of the?
Moment for not, REALLY i don't watch movies. Anyway based on your your little. Things someone you? Love what if the person you love doesn't love?
You?
Oh? Yes what if with someone you? Love would you rather be with someone you love or with someone who loves?
You?
Yes and then the other one was someone who loves, you the person who loves you who don't Love i've just made a.
Little riddle for, you, have, Dear so what would you do in those.
Circumstances, Well i'd rather love somebody than then not love.
Me, yeah so you'd you'd, happy you'd prefer then that they love.
You i'd rather love somebody than they're not all?
Right, okay very?
Good well, RIGHT i can go away and cry and just lay my bed or on my. OWN i don't want to be with somebody who loves me IF i don't love. Them that would be. Horrible that would be with somebody WHO i don't.
Like BUT i think there would be many people listening right Across australia right now who are in a relationship someone who they of whom they might be really fond because that person really loves, them but they just don't necessarily feel that.
Way Well i'm the. Opposite but the other, thing one other last little. THING i missed Mister quigley on your.
Show, yes so DO I, gerald if you're, listening you are still missed to this day on A tuesday. Morning we loved it When joel was here with.
US i, know But i've got a. Replacement can you put on somebody that deals with dreams dream.
Analysis, ooh they we'll find a dream analyst.
Analysis BECAUSE i have many repetitive dreams over and over. Again it would be nice to get somebody on BECAUSE i think that would be a popular.
Thing send, Me isabelle the pillow that you dream? On, okay So, DARLIN i can dream on it.
Too, yes BUT i think that would be a popular.
Segment there you, go it would be Thanks. Isabelle that's not me saying THAT i think it. Was was that A Dean? Mutton send me a bill then you dream? On you liked it, though didn't? You why HAVE i got all these really weird lyrics racing around in my? Head more of your call straight after this At australia, Overnight good? Morning what a song? Is send me the pillow that you dream? On So, DARLAN i can dream honor. Too if you were to come, back you'd want to
have the voice of as someone Like Dean. Martin not because he was clearly a great rock and roller or you, KNOW i don't know that he was even necessarily A, sinatra very different or A, crosby but just there was almost this almost a bit of a cheeky rogueish approach to his songs and his his. Intonations that's a big word in it. Tone i'll never use that word, again but just that, lovely very casual, approach and he could
make it sound so. WONDERFUL i was always envious Of, dean even as a. KID i just, Thought, wow how good Se, ardie.
Morning good Morning, tony and morning.
Mister for the.
Lady before you, know of, course you Know dennis has a segment with Thee.
Yes so many points to that out That isabelle's listening in wa In South, australia so as you may not necessarily be aware that that is the.
Case oh, yeah that's, right IT'S i didn't realize that. Anyway i'm With jay in it was to live much longer or take the. Money i'll take the money because by the time you may reach a, hundred like you said about going to the, grave you're not going to take the money to the. Grave so we'll live it, up make your, family lives it up in certain, friends and just live up for whatever remainder of your life you.
Have, yeah it'd be a hard, ONE i, reckon Because i'd love to think THAT i could stick around to see how how the grandchildren turn, out for, example so that would allow you to live longer with a reasonable sort of a health to see them grow, up or how do they turn? Out how does it will turn? Out so you AND i will never know how it all turns, out.
That's, true but we just won't. Know, yeah what was the other? ONE i think you said in the, year double the cent a. Day that's only three hundred and sixty. Five double.
That so you've got one, cent, right so you got for thirty one days in the, Month so you got one, cent and you double. It you got two, cents and then you got four, cents and you got eight, cents and you got sixteen. Cents double that right. Through see what the total comes.
Out i'll be a bit lost now.
To do that on the calculator and see how that works out for.
You, WELL i like the other.
One better take a lot of.
Reach good on your, mate always good to chat, Now denise In perth, morning.
Still leaving, here of course it.
Is forgive, Me, denise it is you're in Wa yes it. Is AND i get into so much trouble for stuffing that. Up my, humble humble.
APOLOGIES i think all of your questions are, Entertaining BUT i wanted to get serious and say how ANNOYED i am at the parliamentarians accepting the two point six percent pay, Right, YEAH i mean times are. Tough why can't they just say we'll put it on hold and we'll look at it in three years.
Time, WELL i THINK i, Think, denise the legislation would have to, change because it's not they don't do. It it's an independent tribunal that comes in and they look at these things and they make those.
Decisions but isn't there some way That albanese could, say, look times are, tough you, know talk to, everybody and let's say put it on.
Hold it would have to go through The parliament and they'd have to decide as to whether or not that was the. CASE i would think that's how it. Works we'll do a double check on. That but it's a completely independent tribunal that makes the decisions of the. Police they have nothing to do With.
No, NO i realize. THAT i realized, That BUT i just thought, that you, know in their realms of fairness and, equity that it would be a good thing if they could just put it on.
Hold well, yeah, well well, maybe but they already do amazing. Things most politicians do a lot of things. Anyway it doesn't necessarily make front page news, stories but so many of our policies right around the country will do make donations to various groups and organizations inside their, electorate and it goes along unnoticed by many of us unless you happen to live in that.
Electorate, yeah well that's. True BUT i, mean how come The albanese can get more Than Donald?
Trump?
YEAH i. Know well that's that's for The americans to work out for. Themselves if they don't want to, pay they want to pay, peanuts then so be. It But i've always said we should pay our politicians a little bit more and have less of. Them, well get really good quality, politicians really good, politicians people who have been in, business people who have studied, economics people who know what we're doing in the real. World and often we don't
have a. Denise you're, Right often we. Don't now that's not to say that they're all, poor just some of them are.
Great absolutely Rash, okay good to talk to. YOU i just wanted to get my six pency And.
I'm pleased you. Did you're Not you've got a little bit more than the six pennies To. DENISE i reckon you nearly got a couple of shillings.
In oh good, god you're well.
Done. You let's get a beautiful Queens cliff here In. Victoria, Morning, sam, good how are you?
Well?
Well tell us about Queens Cliff for those that don't know, you aren't you just the luckiest person In australia to be At? Queenscliff?
Oh well, mate you, know there's a lot of good places live Around, australia you, know, optional you, know but, yeah it's, climatic it's it's Very.
Yeah it's a reasonable place to.
Live. Yeah do you ever get the ferry across to my? Environment i'll bet. You do you ever get that ferry across To surrender Or? Porty?
Oh, yes, yes you're. Often, YEAH i have a day trip over. THERE i used to see my brother over there and write but that he's frequented now.
Too he's gone To.
Tasmania ah, right it was?
That was that an unusual?
Move he's gone To tasmania to Live and they're you, know steadily sort of going over, there you, know doing that real. Thing and, yeah good on?
Them is that a retirement move or of a business.
MOVE i don't, KNOW i just just to get.
Away but my father AND, i Like i'm the youngest of the, family but my father AND i still think That victoria.
Rules you.
KNOW i don't, know well we think that better, anyway.
You, Know BUT.
I hope you've got some evidence.
Anyway the main in that.
Way but you.
Know AS i, say, right, uh a flower doesn't blossom without the, sun but a man currently without, love right. Yeah, yeah in regards to what you were saying, BEFORE i think, that you, know in a prosperous, life you, know like as soon as you sort of drop the ball and realize that the fact that event has enough, money you, know that's enough you can steadily have a good.
Life, yeah but just be, happily you, know a conservative in your own, right and just enjoy the fact that you know what life has has to offer and sit back and take it all in.
And absorb it.
All you.
Know sometimes a lot of us don't have the opportunity to.
Do, that but then we all.
DO i think we all do and give or, take you, know regardless of monetary. Situation it's about the way we you, know a factor in nature in our lives and how we perceive sort of the reality of what sort of.
You, know you, know, spiritually who we are.
As people without including a religion is a good thing to sort of adhere.
TO i, agree, Yes, Sam and look the other the other requirement, is particularly as we obviously get a bit, older you, know if you're in a position where you can enjoy reasonable, health that that automatically puts you in way in.
Front oh, gee you sounds like my counselor.
Well there you, go maybe they could do my next, job counselor.
Exactly, yeah there, go, yeah, Yeah well my health in fairly poor. Conditions VIRTUALLY i keep it, up.
You.
Know that's that's it's, consequence you, know like sort of you, know it happened due to you know whatever car accidents and and all sorts of other, things you, know associated with. It BUT i still love The, couters, Right AND i love The Queen's Clift Football, Club and AND i follow The couters around like no when you, know and and we're second on the, ladder and we're going really, well
And i'm really really really impressed with the. Boys And i've known the young boys instead of grown up and and, Yeah i'm just, yeah shedding lights for them, too you, know can get to the end and and and you know smash.
Talky and.
We'd love to do. That, well the next Time i'm down that talk, Here Queen, Skiperia i'll give you a we'll have a cup of.
Coffee noticed the bad, areas you.
KNOW i lived out of a beautiful Place Point attus and spent many years, there you, know thirty forty years. There And i'm not ashamed to be WHO i, am And i'm quite proud of my. History but, CERTAINLY i certainly think longevity is more important than. Money you know what a great call money money has no no no.
Consequence good on your SAM a great, call AND i thank you for being part of the Program australia, overnight your calls the other, side come and join me one double, three six nine. Three anything you want to raise on the. Program if you just tuned in for the first, time think of this lovely little gift called, Icebreakers and SO i, thought well we can have a bit of fun with. Icebreakers are. Fantastic would you rather win the lottery or
live twice as? Long think about that for the. Moment so you've got the idea of a fifty one hundred mili or would you rather win that or live twice as? Long would you rather experience the beginning of Planet earth or the end Of Planet? Earth would you want to be around for the?
End but.
Would you want to go back to the very early days of Planet? Earth cave, person no, fires feeding the? Family oh? Wait would you rather be with someone you love or with someone who loves? You? One double three six nine three. Morning let me look at some of these texts before we go back to Calls bruno who appoints the Independent tribunal members who keep giving pay increases and how much these independence get? Paid, look, well just get. It we'll do some research on The Independent. TRIBUNAL i
think it's a characteristic of The. Parliament they set themselves, up The Independent tribunal. Rules but it's completely is my, understanding because we've had this conversation over me any many. Years it's at arm's. Length that's the. Deal now here's the, Thing, bruno AS i always, say for you AND i who
don't like don't like those. Matters in a, democracy you can join a political, party you can run when you go to these certain meetings and, say, LOOK i want to move forward to motion that The Superannuation tribunal no longer, exists that they don't automatically get these pay rises and then move that through the. System that's how it works in a. Democracy it's not that, difficult CAN I tony
mcka one? Night we need help with the. Situation i'm not sure how to go about this certain sibling that wants to kick me out of my parents' family home Today. Tuesday i'd like some. Advice, well needs more information text ending in two six. Zero and why is that the? CASE i can only imagine The it's pretty distressing though Tone speaking of, POLITICIANS i wondered how much the head. Nodders don't you love the head nodders on the? News
we love them head nod as. Well when there's somebody speaking and the head nod nods, ahead do you reckon their? Minders should tell them stop nodding your head stand, there look at the camera if you have. To that's assuming you have to be there. Anyway not too sure that you, do just to get your head, on but don't nod from Doctor john money now or longer. Life many, people particularly those with impulsive, tendencies prefer immediate gratification over delayed.
Rewards this preference is, rooted absolutely. ROOTED i love saying that in the, radio rooted in our brains are wired to seek pleasure and avoid discomfort with immediate, rewards triggering doper meat release in the. Brain that is. Fantastic good on your doctor for, That, james morning.
Monk tony tell YOU i was happy for A tuesday morning until the other pollies are getting another pay. Rights, now why every time everyone else wants an increase light well from for, example centraling, crime they always come up with excuse of budgetary. Restrictions takama does apply to them budgetary restrictions for their Increasing.
Yeah, yeah because their system is. There it's an arm's. Length they have a system called a completely independent remuneration tribunal who makes those decisions based on lots of data and.
INFORMATION i think they should all be personally ashamed of.
Themselves, no they shouldn't.
Know they.
Shouldn't james? Incorrect why?
Not why?
Not because they're doing the remuneration tributal is doing the job as directed under the.
Parliament, Okay, Tony so you think in a wealthy country Like, australia they're giving they're giving people on center link the layer of the.
Poverty, absolutely, absolutely what other way would you do? It so you would, say give the politicians the lowest possible amount of money as you can.
To run the.
COUNTRY i don't want to live in a country where there's people living in poverty and they're living Like.
Kingsland But, james But, james here's the. Reality, said you AND i have been, said you AND i have been. Born there are people In australia sad as it is that for reasons that unimaginable to many people find themselves. Struggling now you AND, i in a, democracy are in a position to help those people in ways that is not available to. Them in many other countries they get a lot of, help a lot of. Support, well if you, were if you, were if you were the prime, minister
what would you? Do how would you run?
It, WELL i wouldn't BE i wouldn't be paying. People that's not WHAT i.
Asked how would you run?
It To please try and put words in my.
Mouth, Well i'm asking you the.
Question you're coming you're coming on and you're making your. Argument you won't let me ask you a. Question we've got to do. This Break, JAMES i promise you come. BACK i want to talk to you straight after the news BECAUSE i think it is a worthwhile discussion to have so people become clear about how the system. Works is it a perfect? System, James, no it's. Not we'll discuss that straight after. THIS i reckon Bad tony might
be a little bit this. Morning you know What i'm, saying could go really really pear shape shortly one double, three no one double three six nine. Three will go back To james straight.
Afternoons now this Is australia overenized With tony.
McManus NOW i was really keen to have a word With. James previous Caller james In, Adelaide, james feel free to jump on. Board doing the research as to how it works is really. Intriguing one of the things That i've probably disappointingly learned in the last eighteen months is how many of us don't really understand comprehensively the idea of
democracy and how democracy. Works so we work in a system In australia that is the democratic system where you AND i go to the election under the legislation that allows us to go and, vote and in our voting, system we have the aferential. System is it, perfect but it's a system that we. Have and when that happens with the end up with a, government we end up with the. Government under the regulations of the, government the government is entitled to be. Paid not only the government
and the members of parliament entitled to be. Paid support workers are also entitled to be paid for the job that they. Do that is all documented well and truly in enormous amount of, legislation enormous amount of, legislation and
there's some really interesting people that sit and that. Tribunal the role of the tribunal is really quite explicit where federal, parliamentarians including, ministers parliamentary and, officeholders with advice about, remuneration including, allowances, Entitlements all that is taken into, account judicial and non judicial, officers federal courts and tribunals all comes under this. Heading
is my. Understanding secretaries of, departments full, time part, time holders of various public, offices principal executive officers as not just. POLITICIANS i gotta tell, you the business of government is a multi billion dollar. Endeavor, now if you don't like, it you would, suggest presumably you just throw all that system out and we have one person sitting in the chair who runs the. Show would anybody like that? SYSTEM i don't think, so but happy to discuss that further
one double three six'. Nine THREE and i should, point out based on, my understanding that tribunal goes back to nineteen. Seventy three the legislation of the remuneration tribunal that goes back to nineteen. Seventy THREE so i go Back to JAMES and i Say, to, James, well james if you were, running it how would you you? Manage it how would you? Do That and james has chosen not to have. That conversation joan In Dever, Hill's morning.

Increased remuneration is that not feathering your. Own, nest well that's, The LEGISLATION rob i didn't invent the. Year legislation as how you would change. That around i'm not adverse. To
change that's how. Legislation works but what's the point for the savings or are we just being bitter and twisted because we think these people are getting? A quid and if you didn't have those people in there doing, those jobs who would you appoint into? Those jobs you'd want somebody in those jobs for. LESSER money i. DON'T know i don't see it. That way we all know the price of everything in the value, of nothing many. Of us Brian in, Richmond morning.

We go that's.
All cool, And, look allison my intention is not that people and necessarily agree. With me i'm just trying to work it out of my own head how it works and does it work for the most part in. OUR favor i would say it. It does but there are others, who say because they disagree with a lot of the things with which we, end up that it doesn't. Suit them it doesn't, suit them and therefore they would want to get rid of the idea. Of democracy and it's not a. Perfect system it's not a, perfect system but.
It's the best we've got at.
The.
Moment exactly we've got to have, much, Worse right so my discussion is not. Really worthwhile but my little, question, is so if you could be a tool or any item from, your shed what would?
You, Be, OH alliston i reckon? A, Tool well i've been called that over, the years more recently than you. Might imagine, I'm, thinking allison probably probably some sort. Of, sow yes THAT'S what i.
WENT WITH i i was tossing up, a FEW but i ended up with.
Circular, SAW yes i think so something. Like that a circular sore.
Because it can.
Move freely it's a job.
Done, with arm stream. And skill but it can. Cause damage it can.
Cause damage even. When, required absolutely that. Is great that. Is wonderful.

They write it's really amusing in many. Many WAYS and i say that with much love. And fondness, You, said tony the independent tribunal is approving remuneration increases under the direction of same parliament that's receiving. Increased remuneration is that feathering?

Nest rob that doesn't. Make sense it's. COMPLETELY independent i don't, Know, how hey, you can whether you don't like the word, of independence. They're there they've got a job to do under an. Active parliament it's an, active parliament is, my understanding and therefore Under the act they are independent away from, the politics regardless of who they are at any. Given time given that this is, my understanding goes back to nineteen, seventy three where is the problem? In that where do
you see the gap? In? That rob thank you for, Sharing. Though tony Wondering how james feels about sports people learning more than the man responsible for, Our, country well that's, another.

Uh.
Me matthews i've seen. Him play i've seen him with play Here and. Ala years but he Played for victorian Team Case. Down, AUSTRALIA yeah i agree with it in. A way he's raised the greatest player Ever.
Played victoria he's a, great player, wonderful player isn't he a great personality and a fantastic part of OUR THREE a w team?
As, Well, yeah tody would you would you say that he would be the greatest player to ever played the Game, in victoria.
Big question let me. Throw, that well he'd be up there in the top four. OR five i would have thought for, various reasons but certainly most would have him at least in the. TOP five i Would.
Think, leo yeah but the.
Experts Of victoria mappy was.
The, greatest, Yeah Well kenny kenny would say. THAT too i think who would you think is the best Out Of South? Australia leo ever.
In, my books well that there's been. A PERIOD if i were going TO so i called you back, A CAR if i were going to pick, my PICK if i picked my, BEST three i would have to Say even Robert And. Malcolm bite they had three.
Of, My Books So, Russell Ebert.
Barry Robin And. Malcolm.
Bite, Yeah See barry robin was a, great player Wasn't he wasn't he?
He went he was a Champion and i'll tell you how to. Play him tony. Don't mind he played For conny wood and he was as he Played, for norwood they called him.
Fabulous Fuel Never, Phil Cardon phil carton who Played for melbourne.
As well THAT'S why i think he.
DID too i did play k.
He did he Played for melbourne for a little WHILE and i think it was a massive amount of money in. Those days And if, I'm right i'm going to say he came and he was being paid something like forty five thousand dollars. A, year yeah well that was a lot.
Of, Money. THOUGH tony i don't know if, you know but his Nickname Was, Fabulous Field.
Fabulous phiel he Was fabulous Phil.
Car YEAH can i just say Something About phil carbon please remember he remember at, the time but he had money the umpire.
Did he allegedly just, in case just in case, he's listening.
He did he didn't anybody is he just want to budge him on. That event he didn't.
Even know you're not learned to. Do that you're allowed to touch. The, umpires, yeah yeah tell You what.
I'm saying sometimes we can lose that camp and we do. See him We, gret DAUGHTERER but i thought.
He was.
He was he got he did the wrong. For you he got twenty weeks. FOR that i think it was a.
Bit, hard yeah he goes back in, time there. Twenty weeks it was a. Bit hard well at. The, time yeah you makee. Me laugh thank you for that the four hundred and fifty thousand. Dollars check this is a text ending in six. Three chevens is the four hundred and fifty two thousand dollars check? Has bounced who would? Have thought? What ever? Drugs? ON well. I can't i don't. Know that who appointed? The Tribunal And dan Andrews? IN victoria i don't? Know federally or why is it SIMPLY?
A cpi i don't, know either is the answer?
To that?
Thank you it's done by an. INDEPENDENT tribunal i don't know which part. Of that people don't seem. To wander it's independent of all those organizations Under an Act of parliament going back to early part of. The seventies one double and somebody else, Is, saying tony we missed. Our calling we should have all gone. Into politics well it's not. TOO late i encourage people to go, into politics young people, in particular. Get involved the, money's there go. For it
why would you not have a bite to? THAT cherry i don't know how many over. THE years, I mean i bet there's politicians listening, our politicians former Politicians. Across australia whether you be listening to three ow Here. In melbourne perhaps whether or not you have been a politician or no Politicians In, south australia or maybe you are a politician or have worked as a POLITICIAN in wa and you know who, you are feel free to join the program and let me let us know about particularly in.
FEDERAL politics i. Don't know there might be slightly different. In state each state might have a different regulation around it as how they arrive at a salary in the at state level one double three six. Nine three there is always plenty to, talk about? Isn't there and those That are i'll tell YOU what i. FIND intriguing I think i'm intrigued by the fact that many seem TO be i, don't know almost, almost cross almost a bit across about the idea of politicians being. Paid anything so
how do you manage that? Better then and why would that be? The case how do you get the WHY am i hearing things in?
My phone in?
My headphones did you? Do that? Did you was it?
You?
THINGS sorry i COULD hear i could. Hear them? Thank you scared of living you? Know what out?
Of me?
Thank you so it's just a matter of why people have this very poor view. Of politicians why do we? Have that why don't we? Support them why don't we, Encourage them why don't we? Motivate them why don't we? Applaud THEM and i say this because pretty MUCH since i started following politics as a kid Reading, the herald reading the papers back in, the day and so as a kid reading about men's he's found. It fascinating sixties.
And.
So forever the narrative is all politicians Are As ross stevens, would say. Are redacted all politicians, are redacted which is a. Lovely EXPRESSION and i don't think that it's. A case, i mean politicians serve us as they are meant, to do for the, most part and that comes with, a fee. A salary what's the better way to? Do that jump on, board one double three six nine three anything you want? To, Raise, hello, Sandra Morning.
Hi tony how?
Are you, i'm fantastic and thank you.
For.
ASKING listen i didn't wish you a happy birthday the, other day so happy birthday for the.
Other day it was a, joyful weekend let me, Tell. You sandra It, Started friday friday afternoon and continued right across.
The weekend are that on the bend Love.
WITH bolly.
I want to talk to you about the complete lack of facilities Here in rearwood at the shopping center for. DISABLED people i am now at the stage of LIFE where i need to use a walking frame to, get around WHICH means i need to use the. Disabled toilets and the OTHER day i needed to use them at the, shopping center so we went. To one, it's BUSY so i went all. THE way i had to walk quite
a distance to the. Next one it, was BUSY so i had to go up to the third floor to use the one on the, third floor which was two floors up, AND anyway i was quite pleased that each showed a. Green LIGHT so i went to press the button and THE minute i pressed, the button that went red in the cold and give someone?
In't it but.
Well it was there must have BEEN because i had only just gone. Into it so starting to get a little bit frantic, by now.
Because, You're thinking i've got to go, To go i've got.
To, go, WELL yeah, i mean, You know i'm nearly sev me. TO know i do have a little bit of problems in. That area and, so anyway there's a council area just around there so, waiting THERE and i can always use the ones in, the library so fortunately they, were AVAILABLE but i mean it was quite a while between THE time i tried to use the first one AND when i eventually was able to. Use one, you know but there aren't enough this disabled toilets in the whole. Shopping center.
They need to.
Use, Them, Well sandra i'm not sure how how we would better manage that is the expectation that there be. Simply, more.
Well and, YOU know i know that they're.
They're actually indicated for, general USE but i mean sure able bodied people can go and use the. Ordinary ones often find able bodied people coming out, of them.
You know do, we, know though when when you talk about somebody who's abled bodied coming out of, a toilet how do you determine that they don't have they can walk on their?
Two?
Legs well in, Their, tweeting, well well.
Let me just say this. About that i've known people who may look as if they're, so called as you, would say, abled body but also have some other issues that may not be so. Glaringly obvious is The point?
I'm making, OH yeah, i. Guess, Sir yeah and so.
The idea of looking abled body. DOESN'T mean, I mean i could possibly look at you and goble there's nothing wrong, with you but you know that there clearly is some issues that you have. To manage and that would be the same for many.
Many people and, YOU know i was telling a really terrible day the.
Other DAY so i go into my local CAFE where i have, my coffee and YOU know i often have they do a good pump and soup which is gluten free, and ANYWAY so i said to the guy that you know serves. The soup, YOU know i said, TO him i was there any chance of having? Some, soup oh we haven't been able to make. Any TODAY so i didn't get my soup, that DAY so, I thought I think i'll just go Back to ben started.
Again today you had.
A shocker so, they said we haven't been able to make it doesn't take that much to make pointiful.
Pumpkin, soup, no, no, YEAH yeah i was quite disappointed, about that, you know because, YOU know i guess they just got busy and didn't get time to.
MAKE it, i get do you do you roast when you're? Doing it do you roast? The? Pumpkins YEAH well i, didn't actually but the.
Time improved last night because my next door, Neighbors husband my next door neighbors are, really kind and my next door neighbors husband appeared on the doorstep with a big ice cream container full of suit.
For me don't you? Love it don't you love it when people?
DO that i sought things are looking, up tone, you KNOW so i. HAD to i had to ring you and turn you, you know as. You did i've got to stop being, a grump.
Not, At, all sandra and please, you did and hopefully the good people that bring with shopping center might be listening and take your your thoughts.
On, board, yeah, well thanks thanks again for listening To.
My, You, know sandra you're more, Than welcome you're more. Than welcomer it's always good to have you on. The program, thank you. Thank, You hello deb in w. A. Morning hi how are, you? Going dear, I'm well thank you. In yourself.
I'M good i was.
Just bringing UP because i was listening to, your PROGRAM and i always Listened. FROM perth i. WAS listening i used to Listen To todd johnson who.
Was excellent was he was more, than excellent he. Was Fantastic absolutely i'll.
Miss him and now listen, to YOU and i just have TO say i don't think He treated james very well when he was talking about, his politicians ONLY.
Because i had to go to. The, NEWS unfortunately i could HAVE gone i could have gone on. With it we had to do the break to go out to news at.
The year and you say that people don't say good things, about politicians and, that's, because.
Yeah they earn what.
They earned we don't, care whatever but they don't they don't. Do anything and the one we had here. Was wonderful mark McGowan Exceptional And. Ben white they were exceptional and they did everything they said and they went against other states.
To, Everything Yeah benny white was a. Great bloke is a. Great Bloke, Benny, White, morning ben if. He's listening.
Mart McGowan and they stood up and. Said no so we don't have all bad things to say. About politicians and they deserve, their wages but we just get a little bit lost with what. They say they, don't deliver they don't keep up.
Their. Promises nothing, give me just give me an example That deb i've.
Been said, since then, since McGowan it's been sad in, wa especially it's not been.
The same so you're not happy with the estate goverment over there at, The moment i'm not. At all, and, no no and yet they've. Been us the people have voted.
For.
Them no and when we went, to election no one knew who to vote for and everyone was doing donkey votes and not voting.
For, anyone, Well.
Deb i've got to say, to you that's not. QUITE right, i mean the current government was voted in with some pretty strong numbers IN w a and it went down to, the wire certainly in, some seats including the Seat, of kelgoolie but it was. A win so the the idea of the idea of suggesting that they don't. DO much, i mean that's the idea of that is the idea. Of democracy it's, not, perfect deb but it's. A win they won the they won, the election they. Formed government
there was no one else. To, vote well, that's right. Exactly right so so so so why don't why don't people stand?
For?
Politics deb why don't?
You?
What?
What?
What what why don't? YOU stand.
I don't want, to, Stand ah and that and that's a.
That's a very. Important point so all of us say we don't want, to stand but we're also really cheesed off something to lax with those. That do does that in any way make sense? To, anybody yeah so you're not Happy with you don't want, to stand but you don't like the people. Who. Do, no, OH deb i got to. Tell you can you really believe that that makes any sense? At all?
It does it meant the people got standing are?
No good.
That's right so how do we attract the people that you would want to stand to actually put? Themselves forward Is what I'm? Asking, DEB yes.
I understand that you won't attract them because people don't believe in.
The system so what do?
We do so what system would you put in place that would make that?
More valuable we just need good people to stand up and say what they're going, to do and they go and.
Do it name one Of those name one of, Those people name one, of them.
Because there's none.

Your calls It is australia. Over Night i'm. Tony mcmaus good morning to you wherever you are not sure we do the payment politicians if you've just joined us for the first time where everywhere Right around australia just talking, about politicians federal politicians salaries, in particular because there's a bit of a. Bump up the point about that is it's all based On The, remuneration tribunal which is a form of the group that get on board and they have a look at these things as part of a
nineteen seventy three regulation that came out nineteen. Seventy three so it's been going along for that amount of times a. Long. Time now point of that is do we pay more or do we pay? Them less in? Your opinion and why is it we Have such when you just said the, previous caller who was a, Previous, caller jake there was a fantastic caller from deb Deb. In perth, he, said
oh they're all. No, good well if we assume that we're all, no good that then assumes from somebody like dere well we don't like the idea, of democracy so let's discard the idea. OF democracy I know i'm sounding a bit like a broken record, on this but if we don't like the idea, OF democracy i happen to light the idea. OF democracy i think The most australians like the idea. Of democracy if we don't, do that let's get rid of the. Whole lot let's dismantle The
Whole federal Government. Of, australia gone, no camera, know nothing. All gone who do we put? In charge and who runs?
The joint?
And how and at? What cost and at? What price and will we? Trust them and how would they how would they? Be appointed who is it would? Appoint them maybe The? Remuneration, tribunal pete what do? You reckon?
Tell you here, you?
Go man what do?
You, THINK yeah i just got that politician a couple of minutes about talking over me and cut.
Me off.
I've only got a couple of minutes because we're going to the news. Very shortly peak, fire away go, All.
Right uh you can put THE chief, afl officer the one who just Pull into i'm uh going back to. An election that guy's got more power than the.
Prime, minister okay forget.
About that.
What you're talking, About democracy let me give you. An example democratic elected person say to, Another country i'm going to, attack you but you are threatening to attack. My country that by me, Attacking you i'm gonna save, my PEOPLE but i can't guarantee my people's safety if they. Fire, back now this guy was The mixed i'm elected by. The people he did not go to an election or vote for people to vote for his position to attack.
Another, country, Sorry, sorry peter you're all over. The shop which which guy? Is it to which to whom you refer what happened?
Last week i'm not going to say the Name was i'll get cut off the country last week that fired onto another country because he was threatened by, another country saying that you attack by people. And die i'll, attack you but he can't guarantee his people safety if they. Fire, back now that is a wrong way. Of Government taking westralia that covered. By oceans we will never understand that
possibility of another country. Attacking us we get scared tactics or Submarines and china other countries trying to attack us from fifty thousand.
Kometers away so.
We haven't got a next door neighbor that's only a couple of hundred kometers a right that can. Attack us and we we live under this banner. Of democracy but our Life in australia is a, safest life and we are told that other people who help are.
The same but surely we can only as. A nation priority is to be only concerned about what we can do as. A nation.
What will happen If album easy goes out and attacked? Another, country yeah.
Well maybe we got to do This. BREAK pete i wish we could pursue that a. Bit longer one double three six nine three more after.

By rotten, rob says because my position On the, victorian situation there is. No, accountability Well the victorian situation. IS fascinating i agree with, You. That rob there is no accountability for decision making where there will be come the, election time there will be Plenty
of that is. The ultimate the ultimate accountability is whether or not they get. Re elected that's how it works in. A democracy that's where the real. ACCOUNTABILITY sits i would, have thought tell me if you think there's a better way to, Manage. That tony in terms, Of donations liz Says that tony gives some Money the royal. Flying doctor they do.

Keep bett you've got to and you've got to concentration levels are so, important too that's. The thing having, Said, THAT michael i still, love driving love getting behind a car and going for, a drive going to, the shops going for a. Longer run it might be Down To, phillip island or it could be Across, to hamilton up To. Beller at, YOU know I just i. Love it although the roads dreadful.
To, be chaotically these people savage in. A hurry i can't ENJOY what i.
Used, to yeah the TRAFFIC is i agree with the Traffic. At shasenhausen oh they've.
Got nuts some people the CARS were i were talking with nine number. OF plates i swore he just just.
Pinched it but.
Let's it is these days and getting it roughy in.
Some areas apparently. It is apparently. IT is i told you there was a counter we passed the place the. Other day it was a late model bench but all but brand news might have been twelve or eighteen, months old and it was traveling at a rocket. Ship speed no plates on, the front no plates on the back are stolen or.
Not, offuly yeah it makes one, FOR sure, I, think yeah it makes You won what stuff?
Going?
On police not ENOUGH place i think.
Not enough coppers for two to follow.
It.
Up yep only with, THE politicians, i, think look, you Know like Howard, and hawk they were pretty down, the line like YEAH that i think you can pick UP the. BS type i think people are sharper than what. THEY think i think that's where they. Go wrong like you've got to be honest with. The public and we used to have a real character as a part of the Leadership. Of prime this would be down, the line you could pick,
it up you can. Read it but now they've been playing the media BIT and i think that's an issue with the public a. TRUST fit i think it's a trust fact that you KNOW what, i mean what do, you think don't it that's? The, thing, YEAH look i.
Don't know you'd have to. Do it, somebody would no doubt have already. DONE one a thesis on what it takes to be a great leader a. Great Politician, in australia there was a time People Loathe. Paul keating They Loved, paul keating and they Didn't Like. Paul keating They Loved, bob hawk and then they Didn't Love. Bob hawk they Certainly Loved john howard for a long period of time and then. They didn't so THAT'S the i think that's really just how politics Works. In australia you can't.
Please everybody you're never going to.
Please everybody you're never going to do it all. The time you've got to say probably the Great mister howard was really extraordinary BECAUSE he, i mean when you think about those blues that he had early and really failed failed badly to become. A leader once, he did he was pretty damn good at what he did for a long period.
Of TIME the ump just clean, that up the kind. Of thing so the leadership there was under what, he did, you know just to show to make the company better play safer bays.
Here exactly and then you had other people that meant everybody all those years ago were raving about golf whitlam that didn't turn. Out, well no who?
Started medicaid cough was A golf you? Started medicaid oh.
Great question we'll just do a. Double search so when did medicare as we know it or medi BANK as i think it was first known? Medi bank when did? Medi bank i'm going to say probably you're right. About that during those early years of verse, seventy two so began Under The. Labor Party prime Minister golf withlam introduced legislation to create universal health in. Durance scheme it Was past,
august seven nineteen, seventy four facing delays In. The senate medibank originally designed to the government run scheme providing freeman equal, hospital services howe shortly. Faced challenges revisions eventually Established in medicare in nineteen, eighty four but it HAD that dna Back in, july one nineteen. Seventy five so, you're right, Well done but what happened there with coffee just?
Went down what was? The thing what happened was we.
Got sacked what?
CAUSED that, i forget there's a whole lot, of issues but Essentially The governor general of the day said this can't go on and applied for him to be flung and he was.
Out of spent.
The budget?
Was, it well THERE was i think there, was that and there was also the fact that they really couldn't get their collective act together on a range. Of things, BUT yeah i mean it was an incredible Part of. Australian history really when we think. About it always Good To, chuck michael thank you for being part of. The program and look already see We've Mentioned bob hawk and people Are saying hawk was a con artist and, an alcoholic. A womanizer well yeah, he was but for a Long
time australians really. Loved him see you think back to the great Promise That Prime minister hawk made when, He said i'm going to say. NINETEEN ninety i might be wrong. About that he promised that no child will be living in poverty by.
The year.
What was the year does? It say campaign launched in nineteen? Eighty seven i'm going to say it was, nineteen ninety but it might be wrong. About that that's what. It was by, nineteen ninety. Thank you by, nineteen Ninety no australian child will be living. In poverty that Was by paulk's election campaign nineteen. Eighty seven now it was pretty compelling of. The time i'm sure people Right across australia
there are many listening who would remember. That vividly by nineteen ninety and no child will be living, in poverty and we, all, went wow there is something to which we can all. Look forward. No child how did it? END up i bet there were still Children then there are still children now who are living. In poverty now that's not against the Late mister hawk necessarily have a listened, to this people would remember these are the words.
In, nineteen Ninety no australian child will be living.
IN poverty i Refer The prime minister to the nineteen Eighty Seven Governor general's address which contained the commitment that quote by, nineteen ninety no child will live in, poverty unquote as it's widely conceded by groups SUCH as acos that in nineteen ninety there are still five hundred thousand children living.
In poverty what he had done was not to sit here in the cabinet room or in the committee rooms of this government and think up ourselves what should be
the levels of financial payment to deal with. This issue but we had specifically sat down with the organizations who are at the front of dealing at the face of dealing with, this issue and in consultation with them we fixed, the targets and those targets were percentages of the married pension rate which would be paid to low income families to ensure that the objective would be meant that there would be no financial need for any time.
Go and it. Went on but when you think. About it it was a pretty compelling discussion at, that time and that goes back early eighty seven for that campaign saying that by nineteen ninety no child living. In, poverty
well it's pretty, interesting time. Wasn't IT and i just wonder whether we have a politicians of that ilk with that would be prepared to put the proverbials on the LINE to i, don't know sharpened people's senses around the possibility putting up those things as a. Real possibility you don't get, that now just briefly before we take more of these Calls that brendan will come to you in just.
A moment there's not a day goes past of the MOMENT where i get asked to test drive an, electric CAR which i. Find incredible and there's not a day that goes past you driving around somewhere and, you, see oh what? Is that there are so many cars on.
THE road I think dennesseere on three rw maybe last week talking, about this there are so many cars on the road that you no longer recognize we Are being there's a lot of different cars coming in Essentially, from china most of which are certainly electric and, or hybrid that are really hard to know which brand. They are it's an in curious and wonderful time if you. Love it if you're not, so keen where does it all? End up one double three six Nine Three Brendan, Melbourne.
Morning, morning tony how?
Are you, i'm well, Thank.
YOU brendan i want to reply to WHAT that.
I called it for the youth said The the irani literally the leadership differ ton Of The. United nasan one of the things demonizes is a right. TO exist i think then they go around funding all these head mus to group and then then they want to develop it worth them all will know who the first target birthday developed nuclear whether as.
Just allow them to?
DO that, I mean I be i'm BUGGING if i know he is. THE answer i can't work, it out and nobody has been able to. Tell me why is it that some countries, are, permitted happily Including The, united state dates to develop. Nuclear weapons other countries we know seemingly are allowed to develop, nuclear weapons and yet other countries we sort, of, say no you can't.
Do, that.
Yeah and the, it'.
Well what what what?
Government expect let's let's supposed to sit back and allow around.
To, develop, WELL well i wouldn't have, Thought, so.
Brandan and then around look at the two world is. DOING bums, i mean what what have you guys been doing for the last?
Forty years and look for those of us that feel the pain and anguish associated with, any conflict, Any conflict none of that really. Makes sense there will always be justification for that sort, of behavior depending on which side of the fence. YOU sit i just don't see it. THAT way i see it as the idea of conflict at,
that level it never ever works. Out well the loss of life children in particular that are born into the world and then are, seriously damaged if not loss, of life in, my mind a small as, it is makes absolutely. NO sense i don't care which side of the argument in, any conflict by, the way in particular, THIS one i guess because it's irrelevant. The moment but you Look, at russia you Look, at ukraine and the damage and the adreaful things that happens to children on both sides unacceptable
to me to my way. OF thinking i should Point, out brendan, Thank, You, ray hello, darn well, Thank.
You hi to all your, lovely Listeners and i'll send. Your blessings good on you ra. Thank, You, Yeah, TONY yeah i listen to you, every NIGHT and i love. Your Show but i've just got to SAY that i thought you're more kinder and a smart person than what you seem to be.
Saying tonight and, go ahead, give me give me, an idea give me. An Example, roy well.
Whenever someone rings up and they've got anything at all negative to say about, the governments you jump on the. Government's bandwagon you think they can't do.
Anything wrong that's not at, All, true ray not at, All true not at. All true but you do it.
Every time not at.
All true i'm a great proponent of the Idea of i'm a great proponent of the idea of. A democracy democracy not, perfect system but for the, most part that's the system that we have and it serves. Us well but my, sense is having hosted this program now for a, long time having Been In talkback great you for a long, long time my sense is that people, don't understand for the, most part the idea of how. Democracy, works.
Yeah you're seem to be saying out of. Luck, tonight YEAH but.
I THINK but i think there's a fair bit of evidence if you listen. To them some of the way people call us contribute to the program and articulate their hatred for certain elements of. Our government but that's the system that. We, have ray it makes no sense to loathe it based on on. That alone it's not.
That alone it's just do you think they're doing a good job of the state of?
The?
Plannet not not not always clearly clearly. They don't SO again i put it back, To, you ray what would you say is a system that's better than that that would make. A, difference.
Well for, the start if they they get sworn and give all these promises and they just, break them and it's not like, you know so you don't KNOW what i? Mean there, like anything whatever they PROMISE that i, don't, deliver well they should be. Bloody, sacked yeah and.
Who would? Sack them who would? Sack?
Them yeah and should be some independent as already that, can sected doesn't? They say and who?
Would you and who would appoint the? Independent? Authority ray.
Who were?
The point who would?
Do it who would who would make? The appointment who are you?
Asking?
Me, LIKE yeah i, don't know you asked holderly, Lady before why Doesn't, she, WELL well i mean why doesn't she stand? For, APOLOGICS well i put it back.
On you why don't you STAND because i have. No interest i'm very comfortable doing. My job.
That's right but you said that you had to back up.
The government but but the but the but, the reason the REASON that i wouldn't, stand IS and i had to crack at it a long. Time ago the REASON that i wouldn't stand now IS that i would encourage younger people to have. A, go.
Yeah, that's right that's what. They should we.
Should be looking at younger people to get very involved in encouraging the what do you call yourself of the Millennials, before jay encouraging younger people to get very involved, in parties get very involved in, branch meetings go understand the issues and look at how they can. Do THAT and i have no doubt there are The young australians right across our nation who. Do that do they do it in? Sufficient numbers i'm? Not, Sure, ray well.
That's, exactly right that's exactly what. It means and need needs a new a whole. New party like, You, say well that's, Right exactly but we.
Don't want to throw we don't want to throw out the idea, of democracy do we even though it, has failings even BY your, i mean you're saying there are failings. In democracy does that mean you throw out? That, system no just.
Better somehow i'm not sure that you know they take someone into the.
Ship, house YEAH.
But, i THINK but i think, you're right and that gets up people's snares or when, they do they don't spend it. Particularly, well, yeah.
Yeah just.
I'M sorry i didn't want to really bring, it up but you just mainly blood balls because you think the governments can do, no WRONG and i.
Thought you.
I've never said governments do. No, Wrong way i've never said, that government but you do.
Because whenever someone rings up and says anything negative about, the government you're quick, to, say, oh, this.
This.
This yeah, i'm, sorry no not.
At all i'm happy to have. The conversation i've never ever said anything about the government that they can do. No wrong i've never said that they do. Do wrong but give me the, better system IS what. I say give me a better system, Than that show me a better system and will. Adopt it but nobody's been.
Able, to yeah they shouldn't be getting. A rise that's for the, first. Off anyway, but again should get.
A rise it because because because it's Locked in. Australian, law yeah who locks it In some well, it's well, it's well it's. In, legislation, yeah absolutely it's. In legislation governments have voted, for that and that sits in the that's where it sits in terms of an independent tribunal who, Manages that and that's in. The system if we don't like, the system let's clear out, The, System, ray yeah that's what.
We need we need another independent person to.
To keep the.
Other independence, that's.
Right we'll have. Another independence and how many independent systems do? You want you want another independent system because you don't like the independent system that's already. In place, VERY well i, Don't, KNOW ray i agree. With it, it's confusing, it's confronting and it's dan, bloody annoying as, You say but it is a better system than we have in most countries around.
The world why aren't they changing? The laws, you know people can't be safe in their own places, these days and the health systems up, the creek, you know and so you can't say it they do, no wrong but they don't do.
Anything right where would you? Rather Live. Than, Australia, ray No, probably australia, Exactly right AND there i rest. My case, you know the idea of debating at school was always one of great intrigue and, great interest and whilst never particularly fantastic, at it certainly. Loved it the idea of having a heated discussion and planning to have a view about often, random topics to have, a view have, a
thought generally served us. PRETTY well i encourage people who haven't been to a debate take up the idea of. Public speaking public speaking. Is fantastic if you can, do that you can do pretty much anything in life should you choose to.
Do that.
The idea of having, a view having, an opinion and then in, a debate the option of challenging people on their position as part of that debate is. Really illuminating why would you not? Do that the idea of just going along for the ride and accepting everything as it is and then complaining, about it but having, no option providing absolutely no option as to what are the other possible that. May be THAT'S all. I do i think THAT'S all. I do but you tell Me if. I'm
wrong who were just? Talking to? Were before there a, Great, caller jay? Forgive me It? Was Ray and, ray said, oh no, you don't well sort of THINK that. I, do word it's the idea of having, a position and then if you don't like that particular position in terms of, anything political you've got to then come up with. The option what is? The option you don't, like politicians let's get rid of all of? Our politicians what do you put in? That place AND all I do ray is ask.
That question i'm not too sure in your. Own definition you said you wouldn't want to live anywhere Else. In australia is?
It?
Perfect no any? Nation? Perfect no, back me we wouldn't want to live? Anywhere Else Surely New? York Morning?
Then west? What's greatest?
Me?

For it we could be thank god it's there for.
You, though yeah but it shouldn't cross. That much where's the people in the government that have hurt so much that they're going to look after it and try and take care of taking the schools some boardings and he's off the only one that's a skillful of a hundred kids that need. That talk and there's hundreds of schools like that. Across as but here's, people, saying, oh well you know we're going to give the politicians a pay rise and do everything, like that set up the pay

We doe i'm not on four hundred thousand, a year and neither is ninety set of the people in.

The money you didn't, like it you would jump straight out and go. Somewhere else and if the money wasn't right to the saints and the politicians turning around, and, saying, oh well we're going to independent people to look. Into it those independent people will

Discussion today that's the problem.
With democracy you'll never ever get to have.
Everybody happy.
It's impossible well that's the nature, of democracy isn't.
IT exactly, i mean it's just a majority of votes and the majority wins who get voted in, AND unfortunately I think i've said before that we don't we rarely ever historically change govern unless there's a very, good reason like, a recession And then i'll try the next person and go, from there.
Which provides provides, no guarantee of course it will.
Be.
Better no but on, another, point though that's NOT why
i rang people looking at what's happening Now. In israel what they has been Missed that i've seen is, that one you've got an ideological regime that, is developing may have an atomic weapon who's willing to threatened other countries Apart from israel with, these weapons and that we call it with and they've got a certainly a Country like israel that we believe has their own weapons already because back in the sixties there was a one tested just about a couple of thousand k's out of we Call It,
south african was determined that IT was israeli made Bomb with israel We Called south. African uranium so chances are there are that, you Know the urosulies, have them and if they hit with one a data they're, gonna say oh well.
Bad luck, you, KNOW.
Yeah i just it SCARES me, i mean, oh yeah this really has scared ME because, i mean look that that area is played with problems for hundreds.
Of probably in our thousands, of years and, there's no it doesn't seem to ever be an end.
To it.
There is never an end. To, it no there is never an end. To, it leah you look, AT yep. I know and it's been going in different forms for a, zillion years.
A.
Zillion years this is. Not new this has been done, on forever certainly in my lifetime and before my lifetime a. Long time and so what the, Answer, is well nobody seems. To know we just go, Into this we go into this bizarre political, you know it's based often in religious idealism or, like thereof and, it's confronting and we want
to shoot and maim and kill. Each OTHER and i, don't know it's not Something that i've ever thought was a, good Idea and i'm sure most of us don't think it was a, Good idea and yet there are people around the world doo things as a possibility for a range. Of, Reasons anyway i'm probably getting a bit too philosophical and looking at, the text people saying they're over this crime turning mak is out. Of control the police do, their part then the judges and magistrates let us down by letting.
Them off maybe we should putting the blame, on Them. Says Gail, Maybe gail but, then again do you throw out? That system do you throw out our judicial system because it feels like it doesn't? Serve, US well i. Don't know and then if you didn't have that, judicial system what system would you put in that to? Replace, it again we go around in circles a. Little bit politics and overnight radio really, so ugly what? A spoiler take time to take a tablet for the headache this creates
and turn off what happened, to, lighthearted fun enjoyable? Overnight topics, Well OCCASIONALLY and i don't set these, agenda up by, the way these are just things that people have been talking about based on the dissatisfaction with pay increases. For politicians that's how it. All started and if you don't like, THE topic i guess you can jump on board and change. The topic you're more than welcome to. Do that feel free one double three six nine three coming Up The
chicken man a very. Funny text earlier to, See that jay said cannot wait. This morning given everything you've been, talking about it will be a real clarification just to have the chuk on. The program so you've got a bit of support for, the chook which is great coming up with the next hour and the cereal and lots of. Other, THINGS oh i want to talk to you. About transplants find out from People have this is a bit of a change. OF topic i made, a note have you
ever had? A transplant is there anybody listening now that he's had a? Heart transplant any sort, of transplant could be a, kidney transplant all sorts. Of things THE reason i mentioned that is the first human kidney transplant took Place in chicago on this day back in. Nineteen fifty.
Nineteen fifty. Long time let. Me go so if you've got anybody that in your family's had a transplant, of anything a transplant, of anything, heart transplant, kidney transplant, any one double three six, nine three love to hear about it, all, right listeners look at these text backbench, Of salary so you keep sitting in all, this information and yet people
Say that i'm going to talk. About politics so backbench of salary increases two hundred and thirty Nine thousand cabinet ministers receive four twelve current politicians worthy of earning, that amount do they, really well it's a good question do any of us do any of? Us really do we really earn? That amount? They really? Do we any of us really deserve the amount of money that we. GET paid.
I.
Don't know you could argue that till the till the ends, come home. Couldn't, You chris.
Morning morning i'm having a bit of a laugh.
This morning.
Present money you.
Gotta laugh you've got to gig a. LITTLE bit i.
Agree you and you're, a challenger which IS what i actually admire because you put it back on to people to have a think about what they've, just said because it usually doesn't make, any sense and then they run and up for covering square on, a bit and, you know and some of the things people say. Are alarious like that woman she said nobody voted for the Government
and perth was, all gummy everything was all. GUMMY bats i was told no one voted, for them and, she's like, you know she's happy to roll, with that, YOU know, I mean i'm not, figguring on, you know but that's the sort of thing that people go on with and believe AND think i think that. You, Know, yeah look politicians can be a bit annoying. AT times i think generally they go in there and make.
IT diference i think.
Everyone does it's perhaps a much bigger system than. You realize once you get, in there you realize you can't necessarily do everything that you might.
Have thought, You, can't no. You can't and having worked, for organizations including most recently for three or four years with an organization as Big as Save The children australia where you're running, these programs are involved with programs to look after the welfare of young people Right across australia, in desperate in, dire need and so part of that
is churning out a lot of documents requesting funding. From government the amazing amount of money the organizations spend on, that alone hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars just to ask for, a loan, oh yeah hundreds of thousands of dollars to Spend across australia every week by various organizations just to get in front of government to us for the money to implement the programs that they've said they.
Wanted, yep yeah she's a big system of bold down.
De bureaucracy and That's.
In australia imagine what that's Like in america or IN, the uk Or in france or in any nation Right, throughout europe all spending government money because the government doesn't spend. The, money.
No and they do get ripped off, as well probably.
They do some systems would rip it off. As, well, absolutely well we're.
At all last with the bottom line at that where, the taxpayers.
Where the people ultimately, Responsible, contact.
Well the price gets a little, bit hiler doesn't it as soon as you know. It's government that's the way the systems, usually works.
You KNOW what, I mean i do one.
Of. Them yeah LOOK what i don't know's you've got to come up with. The ideas like, you said you've got to come up.
With it we've got to come up with, And, improve yeah and new and fresh and encouraging and motivating, in him, you know embracing all the different. Ideas, required chris thank you.

Morning tony how do.
You do i'm well, IN yourself, I, hope yeah not.
TOO bad i am you after about transplant PATIENTS and i am now five years post a full, limit TRANSPLANT and.
I comte.
I received my liver in the MIDDLE of covid and a complete should show all the hospitals are locked DOWN and i made it by a month, because yeah there's no waiting lists, for liver because you can only get a liver obviously from a, deceased person and it's just timing and there's no machine that they can put, you on and a lot of people get confused between liver. And, kidney yeah.
They do tell us about that, journey briefly greg what do you see clearly your liver. Had.
TROUBLES yeah i went TO my gp in twenty thirteen with, reflux intergestion and that's how it.
All started and that was that was that LinkedIn to given that THAT'S a.
I had what's called, aesophocl varites which are like people that grow in. Your gullet and the reason a happen is because your liver can't handle the blood, any more bushes it back up your gallop and these pimples of, cur now if, they explode you can dive, internal bleeding which is. Pretty TRICKY and i used to fly around the world for work, all constantly and at forty thousand feet there's like ten times more chance of. Them BURSTING
so i had to get them treated first. Of all that took me maybe, three YEARS and i got told to give up the BOOZE because i thought it was all a. Base AROUND so i gave up the Booze and i'll never forget walking into the gastroterologists and, he said, Good, news greg. All clear it, Up BEAUTIFUL and, i said. You're BEAUTY can i go To the exeter tonight and have a glass of red? With mistake and he, said
no the journey's. Just beginning, he said we've got to find out what, caused it and sure enough it was cirrhosis of, the liver and just went on and on and on until the cants have got in. My LIVER and i got sent home from hospital the rare on the one Tenth to december, twenty nineteen told to get my affairs In order i'll be lucky to live. Six months, and yeah pretty, Amazing.
Time grig it was psychologically now, and spiritually where do? YOU sit, i, am well it.
GOES on i was in there for twenty seven weeks. Post transplant everything that could go wrong. Went wrong i've. Got sepsis it was just problem after problem after PROBLEM because i don't have an immune, system anymore BECAUSE if i had a normal, immune system it would try to kill. My liver so my body has to. Be immunosuppressed but here's the. Kick at i've been taking those drugs every day for, five years had a couple of really, good years and just in the last six weeks the world
fell off and it's killed both of. My kidneys so six WEEKS ago i had to have emergency surgery to put a kerma cat in, my tummy which two lumens a, hang out and had to start. Emergency dialysis So now i'm on dialysis three days a week until they can find me a. New kidney how ironic the drugs you take towards, these problems and there is no. Alternative drug so the next. Journey begins but. It's funny six week about three weeks on DIALYSIS and i haven't felt this good.
In years it's amazing having clean blood and your body functioning back. To, normal now what, A journey what an.
Incredible journey are you mentally set up now for this? Next, Hurdle yeah i'm.
Going to write a book because they want me to, do IT but i said i'll write chapter FORTY once i get my. Kidney, Transplant yeah, i'm very. Very strong, you know you completely look at, life. Differently completely, you know all the things you used to, worry about the electricity bill and the, phone bill you don't really care about any of that. Shit anymore it's just all about waking up every morning and getting out. Of bed, and yeah incredible and the most amazing team At The Flinders
medical center Here in alai there live transplants for. Thirty years, you know people don't.
Realize that what, about family, your friends what sort of port do you get and how important?
Is, that yeah it's. Pretty important it's interesting you, YOU know I thought i was the world's. Best drinker and of course when you stop, the booze you become a bit of. A hermit there's no two ways.
About that.
Because you can't, you know tunny when you Go in australia where there's there's zero. BOOZE culture i mean you go to church and they give you a. Red wine, it's yeah it's it's and you really notice that when you doesn't matter what, we do there's always a bottle of, champagne somewhere, you know whether we're, racing cars whether we're going to. The football, you know it's just. It's incredible but the good, news IS and i monitor this. VERY
closely i think eighteen to twenty five year Olds. IN australia i think just in the last six months we've had a reduction we have those people drinking and that has got to be, YOU know i speak to the team. Very closely, you know they monitor me. Extremely closely and that the real bonus that, you know we're starting to see the cigarette revolution come into the. Alcohol revolution that people are, you know really turned off by, the booze which,
is yeah. Interesting TIMES and i think a lot of people are much more conscious with their fitness and, you know they want to get things their bodies, in check which can only be a, good thing. I'd imagine, but yeah it's one thing after. THE other i think the moral of the story is if you're, a male you've got to get a bloody blood if you're over the age, of fifty just have a blood test every three to, six, months right.
We've got to. DO it i agree with you. On that JUST before i let, you go you talk about that great glass of red wine is a temptation. Still there.
It's. BLOODY hard i pop in and see my friends at, the Pub The kensing hotel IN adelater i might popping there On a saturday after at NIGHT because i used to be a bit of a regular there back in. The day and, IT'S yeah i mean that they've been sitting there all afternoon drinking and that night and you sort of think. About it they're all they're all talking braille by nine o'clock, at night so, you know you just don't, fit in but you have a good meal
and trying to get out. Of there but of course things have changed now with the kidney plan because you're on. Fluid restrictions i'm only about to have twelve hundred meal of fluid a. DAY now i used to have that in three cups. Of coffee you've now got to live on twelve. Hundred meal, but anyway all for a, good Cause and i'm. Not one, you know there's many many people out there waiting. FOR kidneys i think there's seventeen
hundred people on the. Waiting list and, You know god bless anyone that's got liver disease because that is a, hard slog because the final stages of liver disease are. Absolutely horrible, you know you, turn yellow you're just constantly stops working and. You live it takes all the toxins out of. Your blood so they have to force that out.
Of you and they do that with a drug with a syrup called lachlos which is, a laxative and it puts you on The LOO and i REMEMBER when i, STARTED that i was on that three times, a day a little cup. Of it the day, BEFORE transplant i was on it nineteen. Times, today yeah what, A.
Journey greg i'll tell you what my request would be to keep people up to date with this. Next step it would be fascinating to go through this with you get a sense of where you're up to on a semi regular basis when you're up for. A chat it was.
REALLY interesting i was only JUST thinking i used to Ring to biancha five, Years ago well do. YOU go i went through that. Whole journey so probably people are, hearing now but you know they're still. Going strong you've got to. Keep positive look through, the windscreen not. The revision mar.
That's likely you're a, Good, Man greg call of. The MORNING if, i HAD if i had some debordery to, GIVE away i wouldn't give it.
To you.
Give me a bundle of. Mineral waters what.
A, great call just proving yet again everybody has just, these, incredible, moving powerful dynamic stories.
And that was.
Just. Nice brady.
We.
Love it IN, the uk we catch up with our goodat friend Ed to brady On A tuesday thursday morning as Part of Australia. Over night, good morning good morning. To you we've been talking about politicians. And salaries given that our feds have had, a boost the independent remuneration sort of, says well here's, your increase and people have gone into a bit of a meltdown. About it and THE question i suppose comes up the people that put
their hands up to serve for certainly for. FEDERAL government i mean not a. Great life people might think, it is notwithstanding how much. They're in it's not a great, life really you're under, that hamma sometimes eighty and ninety hours plus. A, WEEK.
Yes i would say they're very, Well. PAID tony i mean we're having the same argument here IN, the uk people saying that if you, pay more you'll get a better standard of. Public representative we've had some really poor ones here in the last decade and. A half my own personal view is that a lot of them have other interests, as well and they're juggling. Several jobs there's one Politician who i'm not going, to name and FROM what, i hear he has fourteen jobs outside. Of parliament that
WAS what i heard the. Other day count them. Fourteen jobs YOU and i, Have, one tony and as most of OUR listeners i, would imagine have one employment. As well that's a lot of work, and okay some of it is figurehead stuff for non executive roles on boards and means two zoom calls. A year i think an awful lot of public representatives are paid. Quite handsomely but,
you're RIGHT would i want to do it. Categorically not you're on call twenty four to seven and it will bring me back to my days of working in twenty four. To Seven rolling news channels where you literally couldn't put your phone down because they wanted you to.
Go somewhere and that's what, it's like those polages to whom. You refer i'm going to.
Declare it, oh yeah it's, all declared and it's all. The JIT but i would just, say that, you know if you're dividing, your time that's spot, fourteen jobs that's seven percent of you to each. Different employer and you're actually an elected member of parliament serving, a constituency working for. The people something has.
To, give yeah there's a war citizens against Traveling. To israel SO the uk.
Government putting this, out today, AND look i think it's only right and it was obviously the correct decision to Make kir starmer is on a bit of a sticky wicket With the israelis and Net yah who's government, in particular because a couple of, weeks AGO the uk government sanctioned two very senior members Of the israeli government for comments they Made about palestinians and the People. Of gaza so, their assets if they have any IN the uk have.
Been frozen they can't. Travel here this did not go down well With the, israeli Government. So starmar there is some calls from people who are Dual Citizens british israelis who were Stuck, in israel and, they're saying, come on send, the plane take us back TO. The uk we want to get out. Of here he's not going to do
THAT because i think he Risks upsetting nettinnahu. Even further and then we've also Got The Chancellor, rachel Reeves The, finance minister pointing out the oil price is going to tick up and not the longer this conflict.
Goes, on yeah when we, CAME back i talked about this NEW m i six appointment and. First class have you had the opportunity of traveling? First? Class ever don't?
Yet have and you, know what you picked me up at the. OTHER end i remember Landing in perth having Flown.
First i've forgotten you turned up at something.
Like two am to come and. Get me so that is a true mark OF friendship.
I did we'll talk about that in just. A moment. Thank you i'd forgotten. About that we'll do That into brady IN the uk more the, other Side including liverpool spending a lot. Of money, single player who is it? And why we'll find out Next and brady is here with us FROM. The UK as, i mentioned we catch up with On a tuesday And a. Thursday morning interesting whilst we've been talking In the texas says what do people think politicians? Actually do what do they that'll be
really to do? A survey what do people really think? Politicians do and, HEM aside I think i should be.
PAID well i know what, they do and you know what, They. Do tony they go to an awful lot. OF meetings i think it's quite a. DULL job a lot of. The time you've got the pressure then who's speaking to, the media people, like you ready to skewer them with a question and to get to the croox of the issue and read out texts from listeners who are. EFFECTIVELY voters i think it's a very, difficult job and, you know you've got to have a passion. For it you've
got to. Be DRIVEN and I think i, would say if you were to take foreign policy and put it to, one side the Best politician i've seen in my Lifetime in Europe Is. TONY blair i thought he was an. Absolute genius, the drive, the passion the longevity to Stay In downing street eleven years win three. Successive elections but. YOU'RE right i think an awful lot of people probably don't really know what.
They do this spy AGENCY m, i six, we love appoints a first ever, female boss.
Loving, it yeah this is a great. Story today so we now know who the new BOSS of i six will Be, Come September. Blaize metroweli her.
Name is we're going to DO a. Tv Show.
Judy densch has beaten you to she because she was SHE. WAS q i think this new lady is taking over the ROLE of c as in the BOSS of. I six she is the only publicly identified member of the spy Service Secret, intelligence service as IT'S known. I six So she's, cambridge educated She, is british she has worked In The, middle east and that's about as much as
we know or ever will know. About her there was a two line statement put out today saying how honored she is and how hard she's going to work To keep. Britain secure but there. We go after one hundred and sixteen YEARS of, mi six they now have a. Woman boss never has. HAPPENED before i just love.
The STORY m i six responsible for EXTERNAL m i five.
Internal, correct yes so she will be trying to gather intelligence about any foreign threats TO, the uk any rogue actors or rogue states who are trying to send people here to do. Bad things it's her brief to keep us. All safe and for the first time in one hundred and, sixteen years the boss of six will be a Woman.
At liverpool in the news how much for?
One player two Hundred million, Australian dollars so this is, a big big deal about to go through and if you kick in the, guy's wages probably a five or six, year contract that will take the figure up to half A billion. Australian dollars He is, florrian adverts He, is german he's. Twenty two he's an attacking player and he currently Plays for Bayer labor kuzen Who were german champions for the first time ever in twenty, twenty four largely
driven by his goals and assists. And creativity he wants to Come to liverpool and the newspapers reckon it is a. Done deal so that is a hell of a statement of intent for next Season. By liverpool they will be pairing Him Alongside mohammed Salah And lewis diaz and between the three, of them this Guy vertz flit. Fits in they're going to score an awful lot. Of Goals, please.
God two hundred mil if you. DON'T mind i had a really good conversation with some defriends over the weekend who shared that they just come back from a lovely break and said it was fantastic and with the working machinery, around points a little bit of cash flew back. First class let's just Call her jin, in particular said it beats anything they've, ever done anything they've, ever done and, she said you didn't ed to to do, the hit to have a shower and to do.

Technically, next February so february nineteen seventy six is when they must have. Filmed it but plans are underway now to recreate this very famous. Video clip it's a very basic. Video clip it's just performing on the back of. A truck then it's, just iconic.
Isn't it it.

It.
Yeah yeah and you think of an, if you, if you.

Sir Rupert sir rupert was the and first women were elected To The upper house on that Eighteenth of may age to qualify for vote standing candidate in the, Lower Eighteen rupert hamer. Liberally elected there you go back in. Those days look.
At that can you imagine an eighteen year old? Being elected but it just doesn't happen very often in fifty. Years on it just doesn't happen.
Very, often no.

The one it's a long way to the top if you want a. Sausage drawl that's. ALL right I know i'm going to find out. With it which is the other song though that you said they changed.
The words, oh no there was some other words that we used, to SING but i won't slay them.
On radio, oh god we can use. The word we're allowed to use the word, redacted now According To ross stevenson from our THREE A w, breakfast PROGRAM which i just think is a stroke. Of, genius.
Dad?
What's happening trace.
Actually ringing about? The TRANSPLANT so i need? MONTHS ago i actually had a double. One, transplant, wow yeow it's, just amazing, just amazing what. A, Blessing.
Hey tracy for how long did? You wait.
My journey was a, long one so twenty months on the, actual registrant but probably two thousand and. EIGHT eight i gotta get sick and went downhill from there with my lungs started out getting lots of pneumonias and Then went we were Living in broom at, the TIME so i eventually flew Down to perth and found OUT that i had a bacteria in my lungs and it capitated. My LUNGS so i put holes in, my lungs and then on top, OF that i got fungus growing in, the
hole so there was no coming back. From it it was, ended up, you know because they had to treat and get rid of all the bacteria in the fungus before they could even assess. The transplant and THAT was i think twelve months initially because it's the multi drug therapy, that failed so the bunk. Became resistant so then we came Across to MELBOURNE and i was eighteen months on treatment here AND then i had to be a bunk
free for. SIX months i was assessed and it was twenty months on the, waiting list so, mid JOURNEY and i think by THE end i was actually. Giving up to, Be honest i'm pretty. Strong person but, my daughter who Lives, IN germany i was speaking to this night and, She, said mom you, look SAD and, I said i don't know HOW long i can do. This for and this. IS amazing i went to put the phone down from that FaceTime call and the phone rang and it was,
you know we've got lungs. For you they're here at four thirty in.
The, morning.
God. That's, fantastic yeah when you got that, phone call what was the first Thing that what did you cry when the phone call. Came, THROUGH.
No I think i was. JUST numb i literally sat HERE and i was like. In shock AND then i rang my kids. Straight back my.
Husband was, at work can't they?
Ring first, and yeah they were just like DearS in. THE headlights i think it's actually going to, happen part particularly. My daughter and then had to ring my husband Worked at parkville at night shift and had to ring him and get him to. Come home, and yeah it, was, JUST yeah i. Was numb what A.
Fantastic so let's skip to a post surgery life, IS just i, would imagine pretty good as you reflect.
On that, oh yeah because at, the end, you know there was. NO quality i was just insisting basically my husband in a wheelchair. On oxygen my husband's, doing everything you know. For me i'm very lucky to have him and family to see. You through, but yeah from THE moment i, WOKE up i think it was the seventeen, hour surgery, they, said well you're pretty much breathing on, your own so we're going to take the tunes out and haven't looked. Back, since really of course there's always
a couple of pickups go with. These things but even, you know for me to talk this long on, THE phone i would have been out.
OF breath i wouldn't have been able to do it and trust just to find a question, from ME and i thank you for ringing THROUGH because i think people will be fascinated by these journeys that. People have but the support of, presumably, surgeons specialists. Nursing teams how important did they show up in your life during?
That?
Time oh.
Incredibly IMPORTANT like i was at the alphared so, the team the lung transplant team At THE alfred I just i take my hat off. To them they, are amazing, you know, pre transplant, post transplant and. Still today, you know they're just the whole team that supports you and.
Work together.
So, that's ongoing, you know basically, forever now and so you have a.
Part of, your life so you do keep in touch with the nucleus of.
That team, oh yeah Absolutely absolutely so at, the moment like eighteen, Months in i'm probably around two, monthly visits so regular blood work of course that, you know that can get a bit less as time, goes on things become more and. More stable but at, the moment still. DIGGING medication i was listening to the guy earlier who's now having the, kidney problem and it's a common thing with.
Transplant patients but about two MONTHS ago i was on about fifty halves a day and my kidneys basically just and a, cute tailure and they had to review like all. My medications i'm down on to about twenty a day now and thankfully my kidneys to bounce back unlike these other. Poor fellows, but yeah they're the things that people. Don't realize whilst it's, a blessing there's things that GO with i.
Guess go with what an.
Amazing, story well it's lovely to talk, to you and life presumably is taking on a new meaning almost on a. Daily basis there will be a guess there will be, ongoing challenges but your rise to, the occasion.
OH absolutely i think having gone through that not. Too much, you know you just you just. Go up well we can deal with this that, comes really because if you, can't breathe, it's yeah it's not. Much fun you can't do.
Anything, Really, oh tracy what a. Great story thank you for sharing it With The australia. Overnight audience i'm sure people will be inspired.
By it absolutely.

Did you play? MARBLES at school.
I was never quite good. Enough to remember this is something that people don't. REALLY readily know i went to school. Supposedly at five, IN other words I say that mum took me to school at five. To Enroll me her english was not really as good as it should have been. At the time and when the, head master Said, this is denithian it's halfway. Through term one do You mind bringing george at the end of the term or the
beginning of. The next term mum nodded and went home and brought me back, a year later, so she, thought you know it, meant a year not the end. Of THE term so i went to school as a six year old and did not know A. Word of english did not know A. Word of english it took me a long long time to be able to get to THAT stage, WHERE i was i suppose fluent and able to mix in with all the other KIDS who thought i was arrogant so and so and so and so.
Even at six so it just goes to show you that people make assumptions and they.
Have, no idea well that's.
MY next point i. WAS given this i was given. This little thing it's been around for, a little while Simply. Called ice breaker it's a whole, set of cards about one hundred and fifty and it's got a question on each Of the ice breaking card that you're having. A dinner party you would read one, of THESE out and i selected one for. You to consider you may not consider, it straight away. But consider it we'll talk about it
maybe a bit later on when you. Collect your thought what is a mistake that people Often make About george DI nikian where? I, come from ah that, was, pretty easy right that's.
Ruined, that segment well It's always break that's always been The problem THEY and when I, was in QUEENSLAND they thought I. Was A queenslander when I, was in ADELAIDE they thought I Was. A SOUTH australian when I, landed in MELBOURNE they thought i was. From somewhere else and it's taken me a lifetime basically to Remind people That i'm. A sydney boy, born And bred And i've traveled australia and had the good fortune to learn more, about THIS country and i wish more, of us did because that
way we'd be less Parochial. And more australian and that's.
A good point because we started the. PROGRAM this morning i don't whether you were listening at, Twelve twelve thirty we've got lots of PHONE calls because i just, happened to say guess what our politicians get? A pay rise, and then yeah and. Then phones went need to, meltdown, about who how why, we're and when how? Does that WORK and what i probably want. To, educate them, well you well it's not, me about educating it's about trying
to understand the. Idea of that whilst democracy, is not fantastic it's a really good system as opposed to other systems it might be used. In other player.
There are some parts of the world at the moment that are really feeling an enormous amount, of volatility impression and we need to remind people that there's a proper and right way to not only look, after each other and that is to try and understand that in a community we all have to compromise and if we want to, make a noise there's the right. Time for it that's the beginning of. The election cycle and on polling day you make. Your feelings felt you don't become. A football
supporter and. That is, THAT by that i mean you don't get stuck, to the colors and you look at what's right and fair and what's, good for everyone. Not just yourself and if you feel that, strongly about it you vote that way and no one should tell. You any different and the, reason for That the reason i'm so confident in that is our forefathers decided everything we. Be, secret ballot yeah so that way you, don't have, to you, know you know make a hue and CRY about why
i didn't pursue your. Line of thinking, you let me, as an adult to go, into that room draw the curtain and make up.
My own, Mind, and you george there are some in this GREAT audience that i Have right across australia who will say they're, all no good get rid of. The whole LOT and then, i will say well who do? You put in and then, they, will say oh, that's not important just get rid.
Of, them all well you know, That's all. Well and good but at the end, of the day we have to we have to support people. We believe in it's. Not always easy there are so many forces that. Press on them and the hardest thing about politics is remaining. True to yourself and one of The reasons why i've never, entered Politics because, as i've realized you have to give two away to actually get to where you, want to go and by the time, you get that you're not the person.
You began.
The. Journey by being, so you know if you want to stay, through to yourself stay, out of politics because it's. Just too difficult it's too it takes too much away from. The real you you have to keep. Giving up things and when you, landed that spot? Who are you who?
Are you really?
What are you what are you meant? To be doing so that's the.
Challenge of mode we certainly don't want to Be a cynical. GEORGE there there i just want to briefly touch on some of the things that are happening overseas, in. Extraordinary time happening i've.

Don't fully Understand In, the middle east it feels tense or does the media sort of a drive it to some
degree in terms of the. Tension, around, it.
Yeah well unfortunately media, today modern media and it's, all of it whether it's social. Media or not we're no longer call. It social media it is media because it's seen around the world and it's send. In, real time yes everyone, Has an angle everyone has a particular thing they want to, pursue or push and we've seen it and it's. A great disruptor, and you know some people
have to scream a little bit harder. Than the others someone wants to be out there first with a, report or something and we get this distortion, in the marketplace whether everyone sees it as a. Distortion or not it's. A huge challenge that's why the leg see networks are doing the best they can to try and be as as strong and as accurate as. They can be but it's a real race to capture the hearts and minds.
Of the marketplace and people are, changing their, taste their, desires their wants and there are a lot of people who just want to hide from, all the noise so they don't, want to read they don't, want to watch they don't want, to.
