Perth Today with Simon Beaumont Podcast - Thursday, 12 June 2025

Yes, good morning, thanks for listening in. I'm Simon Bayamont here until one o'clock today. Thank you to the Brecky Boys, to Milsey and Carl and they're a hard working team from the Brecky Show. We are here until one of their phone lines are open one double three eight eighty two if you'd like to give us a call today, or you can SEMSS zero for eighty seven trip or nine eight eighty two. I'll have a yes no question

Mining? No, but they have a significant super benefit. But not only that, when most of them retire from politics, they step into significantly high paid corporate jobs.

Yep, all right, Tony, Yeah it is. Yeah. There are a lot of benefits from being working in the public service or service the public for servicing the public. For politicians when they quit, good point, mate, Thank you get to move in high places and they pick up good jobs. That does happen a lot. Get a Dylan.

Hey bowie, how are I good?

Thank you?

Just on a Polly's pay I don't now. We all get sick of Polly's making promises and not following through with them, you know, and all the BS. So how about this, they get a pay rise, but under their contracts, for every promise that they don't come through with, they get a deduction of I don't know, ten percent or whatever a year on there salary and an adam will stop them pleading us a whole lot of BS just to get us to vote for him.

What is that?

What do you think about that?

I think it's a really good idea. I just don't know who would do it, Dylan. Do we who's going to do that? He's going to keep an eye on that.

Well, don't they work for us? We should tell.

Them yes, good point? Yeah, promises that don't they aren't follow through on a good point. I don't know who would do that, Dylan. Is that a fact checking thing? It's like a whole new government department, isn't it? Mate? But a good good thought? Thanks Dylan, get a Roger.

Good a Simon.

Hi.

The contention that Anthony Alberonizi, as a person, rather than the Prime Minister's offers, should get a pay rise. I mean, this is a person who never ever worked in the real world, went straight from school or UNI or whatever it was, straight into the Australian Labor Party are actually worked in the real world, and he gets paid really twice the amount that the leaders of France and the UK get paid, and people are actually talking about should he have a pay rise? I mean it's just ludicrous.

Well, yeah, he's going to get one, mate, according to the Independent Review Board. So he's going to get one. Thanks for you, Carl Roger. So yeah, the comparisons the other world leaders may or may not be you know, legits, because they are figures that we've just taken off the internet. So so Donald Trump's only on four hundred US a year according according to our data, but he is a billionaire of course. Anyway, what do you reckon? Yes or no? To do our politicians deserve a pay rise? Some of

Very interesting question. Look, I'm going to fly against the wind here. I think they do deserve a rights. My few reasons for that. Number one, I think it's actually a vital job in our society, and I think we should encourage people as much as we can to enter it. I think the decisions they have to make in times just COVID are extraordinary and excruciating. And to hear people sit back there from their couch and say, ah, who

When I put you in the yes on mate, Thank you, chieers, thanks for call. Do our politicians deserve a pay rise? Yeses and the nose are off to a flyer today and Chris says, good a Simon, Is this the P one double five take question of the week segment? Mate? It feels like it at the moment Chris given the response if it was performance based that o us don't get me started elbows on twelve grand a week plus

Get they sue, Hi Simon, thanks for having.

Me, no problems at all. I imagine you're going along today.

I'll be along to every single session. Basically, we planned to have a presence in the park, not a rally, not a protest, but just to be there to maybe help people better understand what's being touted.

Here, because we don't believe it the information.

That's out there accurately covers what's going on.

Do you think it'll be an exchange of ideas or are the project managers going to show you some nice drawings and a flyover and say this is what's going to happen and when Yeah.

I think in this case we have had a couple of sessions where we have been given a presentation, so a couple of people that are involved in our alliance. But I think that what they are it is there to tick that public consultation box so that people will go along there be able to have their say. They've that that are encouraging us to contribute ideas to help shape the concept development. So basically they say this is happening no matter what. You're not here to object to

So I think you're right it is going to go ahead. So if that, if it is a hybrid kind of consultation where you might be able to shape X, Y and Z, how will you approach that? What do you want to see if it is going to go ahead?

Well, we're not at this stage. We're doing all we can to have it stopped because it's you know, and to be clear, and we're getting so much criticism from people saying we're anti development and nimbus and all of that stuff.

It's not true.

People here have always known about the plans for Bursa Park as per the twenty year vision that was put out a while back. Everybody's been expecting that development. None of us have any problems with the amphitheater, all the different even the cycling events etc. They're basically trying to paint us as being objecting to everything. But the objection that we have is for the VP supercars because clearly the noise from those is going to be unbearable for

Yes, sorry In true so, I was involved in some of the forums with regards the stadium back in the day, and there was some objections from residents then, but the forums did explain, you know, about how the roads would work, the fact that it was getting a pub, you know, the new bridge of all of that came into was eventually rolled out and the residents, a lot of the residents changed their minds. Were you part of that process as well or did you move into the area after

On game no problem at all. No, I don't think you see, there was this action many years ago. I've lived here for sixteen years. That was mainly regarding the closure of what was a beautiful golf course that many people had bought in the area for that reason. It was more the closure of the golf course and the development of the crown towers on that land more so than the stadium. Objection to the actual stadium. At the time, we remember there was probably about four or five other

The right place.

I think it might be better here or there.

So there was.

Some discussion about it, but there wasn't the opposition that there is to this thing here, because this is a whole different thing. When the games are on the stadium, the noise is very well contained within there that the acoustics and the way that that was a stadium was designed was perfect for that and it doesn't impact on residents.

If you close your.

Door, you wouldn't even know there was anything going on outside.

So just one fine one for me too. And if the V eight supercars weren't there for one weekend a year like that, you know, like when they come to Perth and they're up at barber Gellows, would that suffice for you and your gang? Would you be okay with that?

Absolutely?

But what we've been told is categorically if supercars aren't part of this, and let's be honest, they have played this down since it was first announced as a motorsport street circuit in January. It's now the Perth Entertainment of Sporting Precinct and you barely see a mention of the eight supercars in any of the paraphernalia now. But the fact is that that is part of it. That is what we are objecting to. Nothing else. They can go ahead with the rest of the development, but the noise

All right, So good luck in attending the forums. Thank you for chatting to us today.

Welcome.

Thank you Sue Quinn Save Bursus Park Alliance coach here. That's interesting, isn't it. So as we go further down the track then the main objection now is to that one weekend a year when the v eights are on the peninsula. What do you reckon one double three eight to eighty two? Have you been part of a public consultation or public forum? Is it lip service? As I say, I was involved in the stadium ones way way back in the day. There was objection to close in the

Birdie drive the entrance to the Quanana southbound, that left lane block, to make sure you drive carefully. And a truck broken down at Champion Lakes Tonkin Highway southbound at Ranford of Road, the left turning lane is occupied. Make sure you drive carefully there as well. I'm Rob b verrom Peruth traffic leader six PR.

Steve says, morning everyone. Good a Steve. I can't understand why one weekend a year would be that inconvenient in my opinion, Paul says burzs with Nimbi's need to stop being so selfish the supercars. We one weekend a year. I love the idea of the racetrack. Sick of the whiners. And Simon says Simon Today, Simon, there's still some placards around Belmont from the last election from Zanita Mascarahinas. Thanks Simon, Simon.

Yeah, just listen to one of the comments there about Nimbi's in the area. If anyone believes that this is going to be used for one weekend of the year, they're living in Laala Land. They've not spent all that money on putting them a racetrack to use for just two days.

Isn't it going to be used as a used as a cycling criterion track as well? Isn't it mate for bike racing and all that pushies?

Yeah, it's It's interesting, isn't it that as soon as as sou Quin was sent as soon as the opposition came to the eights, you can have cycle racing and then power Olympic events, and then teaching children and teaching children.

To ride their bikes.

You know, let's round a dead cat on the table. Look over there.

It's just a.

Complete diversion from v eights and it's the eights is destroying the environment. And re to say suddenly said that those lakes are toxic. You've got you've got you've got birds breeding in those lakes.

Yeah you do, yeah you do. And there's there's those my favorite, the turtles are in there as well. Jerry, I recall those lakes being part of the golf course. Though the water hazards on the golf course, I don't know that they You know that that that the Buzepnis has changed so much over the years. What it's used for those lakes were water hazards that became you know, ecosystems or little mini ecosystems. I reckon over the years. Jerry,

Yeah, and big increases and interest rates have really had a massive impact on owners, and so we've seen a big decline in the number of those owners actually rating their housing is affordable, where we've seen massive increases in rents, which is meant renters now regard their housing is more unaffordable than it was two years ago. And of course big price rises are making it more and more difficult for people to get into the market. So no, it's not a pretty picture.

There's a telling statement in the report, Steve, we are witnessing a breakdown in the ability of WA's housing system to meet the needs of ordinary Western Australians.

That is.

That's very confronting and jarring for me.

Yeah, well, we've been in a housing crisis for a long time. Anyone on very low incomes has been in a housing crisis for decades. But now it's spreading to people on moderate incomes. And I think that's why everyone's terming it at housing crisis, because it's suddenly affecting those people that you know ten twenty years ago wouldn't have had a problem accessing housing. So that housing crisis really is spreading, and government have been powerless, both federal and

Have you got kids, Steve, that one day might hope to buy a house?

I do, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I've got two girls.

Yeah, I'm already thinking about how on earth they're going to get into the housing market. And we talk about the bank of mum and dad, and if you're lucky, you've got the bank of your grandparents as well. But yeah, relying on others is now what young children growing up are having to do, which is a terrible situation.

In the report, and as I've only read the executive summary Steve this morning. In the report, is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Are there any suggestions leavers, green shoots anywhere.

Well, I think we're starting to see housing supply increase, and this is new housing supply, and that's important. We're still sort of way below where we need to be. We should be building around about twenty five thousand dwellings per annum just to keep up with demand, and we

You know.

We've seen an awful lot of new bills going into the add of suburbs. We're starting to see a rental supply there, but in our areas have actually lost rental housing, so there's no relief in sight. But there's encouragement through schemes like built a Rent, which might offer an alternative to people. And you never know with housing markets. Economic shocks tend to have it with handling market, so something

Steve Reewer have long advocated for reducing stamp duty for people who are right sizing or downsizing there's a you know, a lot of empty nesters who are in four x twos or five by threes and the kids have moved out equally at a lot of our listeners ponus and say, well, I want to live in this big place so the kids can come over visit and you know, he every couple of weeks and we'll see the kids. So there's

We shouldn't have stamp duty in the first place. It's a barrier for everybody. If we remove stamp duty, we'd see a lot more activity in the market. There will be a lot more purchasing opportunities for people, whether they want to write size or become first home buyers of those that are over the concession limits. So it's a terrible tax, and I think the entire industry is united in thinking about ways to replace that tax. It's just

All right, very interesting, Steve, Thank you very much for talking to us today. And I imagine people can go and see the report online somewhere.

Hey, they can, It's freely available on the Bank West to an Economic Center website.

All right, thanks for chatting to Steve. Thanks well, Professor Steve Rowley. Interesting. Hey, as I say, we we nearly had our first argument here at the Perth Today Show. Whether we're going to do this story today because it does make you feel despondent about housing affordability, rental affordability, Steve Raley saying, get rid of stamp duty altogether. Never heard anyone say that. I've heard people say reduce it.

Good morning?

What a beautiful day for Thursday? Yes, the land tacks and stamp duty. If they get rid of stamp duty, they'll bring in land tax. So you know what you're gonna do. You're gonna win or you're gonna lose. It all depends on the swings in the roundabouts. Maybe it's best to live with what we've got.

Yeah, I can't. Yeah, thank you, Craig. Cheerose. Mate, It is a beautiful day on a Thursday for a Thursday. Yeah, I don't know that that would would happen. Imagine imagine that. Imagine the loss of revenue to the state if we did away with stamp duty. It's a it's a massive take, is it. It's a massive part of any purchasing decision and the supply and the demand issue.

You know.

I've got a mate she's looking at buying a two a two bedroom apartment. They have fifty sixty people puting in offers, fifty sixty people attending home opens, for that hour on a Saturday. The demand is extraordinary. Houses that are on the market for five hundred and they go for six fifty just for a little apartment in the inner city. I'd love to hear from me one double three eight eighty two. It's twelve and a half minutes

That?

Yes, is eighteen. The nose are sixty one.

The best of the best are heading west for NRL State of Origin Game two.

Yeah, next Wednesday. Hey, six PI has double passes to be one. You can win them on the show today catch all the action live New South Wales versus Queensland. New South Wales dominated the first in counters. This is next Wednesday, June the eighteenth of office. Be listening later in the show for this. Yes, thank you Tina. So when you hear that, and we'll call in with today's code word here it is. Today's code word is kick. Today's co word is kick. Rugby league players often kick

Yeah, I think there's another market out there which people seem to forget about as well. And not only is there the first time buyers that need to get on the market, but there's also another market in there, or another level of people which are divorced people that are trying to get back onto the market after losing their home.

It is from it's really wow, just.

An hour and a half, but it's further but it's moving all the time. So we've need to purchase a really nice house out there on half an acre of block for six hundred and ten thousand dollars.

Is that right? Well? Okay, all right, So I guess all those you know, they're almost pery urban places now, Neil, aren't they? As you say an ouns an hour and a half out of the city and is an option for people? Hey, thanks for you, core mate. Good luck with it all. Thank you, cheers mate, Neil who's moved to York and it's the same commute time as Clark's and I was hoping we'll get a positive story out of all this. This morning, one double three eight eighty two

I reckon that bit downhearted, feeling a bit downhearted about the housing affordability report today.

That's a curtain have come out with the people feeling despondent about being able to buy a house or even afford to pay rent have gone up by ninety one percent in twelve months. People just think they just are incapable of getting into the market, either as a rent or as a buyer. And as I say, I've got a mate who's trying to buy a little place at the moment and the number of people that go to the home opens and the number of offers that come

I Robin, Oh, hello Simon. Just on that note about the Prime minister, of course, his pay rise, just as a bit of trivia, is roughly fourteen and a half thousand dollars, And the public is supposed to be excited when they get a little subsidy, a little hand out. Fourteen and a half thousand dollars is roughly equivalent to half a single person's age pension. That's just a bit of a trivia for the year. For the year, the

Yeah, all right, right there, Yeah, that's a good stat.

Yeah, but anyway, that's just a stat. Now getting onto the first home buyers. I've priended off this sheep for our young adults, trying to help them out and get them out of home. There's no stamp duty up to five hundred grand. How many houses in berths are up to five hundred grand? Not many of these competing and competing. The other point is that you may you may think, wow,

Well, that's right, and that's that's there what this report was saying that we covered today. Robin, Thank you, Robin, thanks for your thoughts, Thanks for your diligence. They're wonderuble three eight eighty two. Tony.

What do you think, well, Simon, I think we're going to start thinking about this differently. I think we have to start thinking generationally like our parents. Well, we're going to be we're going to be old these I mean in my mid forties. I shouldn't be downsasizing. I shouldn't be you know, I should be keeping my house. I've got two daughters. When I die, they can have it. They can split the money and they can start. We're thinking too much. We're not thinking generationally. We're not thinking

Yeah, it is, Thanks Toning, So that's a good thought as well. So it's called spending the kids inheritance, isn't it going on a cruise, going to Europe, buying a nice car, a jet ski, whatever it is. Yeah, So it did impact on more than at a family level. It impacts more on more than just the person buying a young person or first home by buying Thanks Tony, good on your mate. We appreciate your thoughts today. I'm going to take a quick break, James. When we come back,

No's like this, Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, yes.

That's a bigard. Dibbley guy can't remember his name, but he used to say no a lot. Chelsea Bowden has been to the press conference with Premier Cook and with the Transport Minister Rita Safioti ad at Stephens Avenue the extension and primarily a press conference about congestion busting in the Northern suburbs. Chelse, how are you morning, bo I'm good.

How are you?

I'm very well. Thanks. That's the That was the main announcement, wasn't it.

Yes, yeah, The main announcement today was about those Northern Suburbs congestion hot spots which are getting some upgrades. You might remember that ahead of the state election, the Cook government promised a major funding package to upgrade several of those really bad hot spots in the north and Rogers Cook today confirmed that they're going to spend one hundred

Yeah, so the Wanneroo Road, sorry, Chelsea, the Wanneroo Road uprades. It's Warwick Road, Hepburn, Nangara East and Whitford So a lot of those those major intersections will be upgraded. And there's a bit of bit of work being done in Morley and Kragy as well. Was there any mention of when that Stevenson Avenue extensional beaks finished, Chelse, because according to the website it should be about now.

Yeah, so Premier said that it should be in the third quarter of this year, so pretty much any time in the next couple of months that should be finished and read to be opened.

Yeah, all right, so we'll be able to drive down Stevenson go sort of behind IKEA and cross the freeway there to those on rams and off rams. That's the plan. They did.

The Burrswood Racetrack come up today, Chelsea, it did.

Yeah.

Rita was asked about that one today, So I think as you guys were talking about a little bit earlier. The first of four public information dropping sessions for that planned Birdswood Entertainment precinct is happening later today. We have talked about it quite a lot on this program that many locals have been very vocal about how against it they are, and the oppositions chimed in a lot too.

Oh, we just hope the sessions are done in a cordial and respectful way.

We have public.

Servants that are there. We don't expect there to be any agro or any disrespect.

This is about.

People learning about the project.

There's a lot of.

Misinformation out there saying it's a permanent multiplex, which it isn't. So it allows people to find out about the proposal and also provide their feedback. In particular, and as we move around, more and more people are interested in seeing what they can get out of this new precinct, for example, wheelchair basketball and a number of different sports which currently

Do you instruction?

No, A MOTIPLEX is a drags troop. It's what is in Quanana, And to say that it's a permanent MOTIPLEX that there'll be motorsports there all around the year is actually wrong.

So Riada hoping that the mood is cordial and polite at the drop in forums Chelsea, the first one of four today. We had noticed in our news headlines today that the Pentagon are looking to review the Orcus arrangement with Australia.

Did the Premier mention that, Yeah, So the Premier did touch on that. You would have heard that in the latest news bulletin that the Trump administration is going to review the ORCUS packed. The Premier says it wasn't really a surprising revelation and they were anticipating that a review like this would happen, and the UK government has actually undertaken a similar review recently. Roger Cook says he's still pretty confident that the Trump administration is committed to the

Confident that the principles of ORCUS will remain in place. Now there's going to be a review that was anticipated and not unexpected, but we expect that the principles will remain in place. As I said, it wasn't unanticipated, but we are watching that space very closely. The other element of our part in the ORCAST partnership is rock solid, and that is the Federal government's commitment to base, frigate

So Chelsea that he's confident that the review will go ahead, but it'll be your guns are blazing and the project will proceed.

Hey, he seems confident, but yeah, definitely want to keep an eye.

Close eye on.

Yeah.

Aything else come out today, Chelsea.

Nothing too exciting. A bit of a chat about electricity credits, which everyone has been thinking about recently. There's been a lot of reports in the media that there's not going to be any electricity credits included in the upcoming budget. Rea Safiotti was asked pretty sternly a few times about it, and she was said fast on saying that you will find out next week when the budget is announced. So no word on that, will have to wait and see.

Yeah, all right, thanks Chelsea, thanks for the update. Appreciate it.

Thank you, babe.

Chelsea Boden from our newsroom here at six PRS. So there's a little bit more information for you. The bit of a change, a subtle change in when the police are going out these days to announcements, they're very well briefed on the issues of the day, so their teams, their media teams are reading the paper watching the news, listening to six PR and well prepared to respond to the issues of the day. It's not definite that the rebates the credits on electricity will continue and will be

Good morning vote and good morning to all your listeners.

Is this going ahead? Where is the process at and why the local opposition?

Well, the processes is that it's sitting on the Labor Environment Minister's desk. And this has been a long, hard fought campaign which my predecessor, me Davies, raised many times in the State Parliament and I'm continuing to do that as a new local MP. My first grievance in the Parliament was to the Environment Minister to ask when he's

So that's annually two hundred fifty thousand tons of tons annually. Where is the al woun A farm relative to the town of York, Lachlan well.

So as your listeners would know, FAI drive to our beautiful avont Valley on the weekend in between the Lakes Roadhouse turn off on the Great Eastern Highway and York is where this proposed development will be actually occurring. And for those people that travel on that road regularly as I do, you know it's a pretty windy and narrow road, so you know that's a lot of truck movements per day up in that neck of the woods. So this is not just bad for the community, it's bad for

So this has been twelve years in the planning, has been delays, frustration for the residents of Hilk and for the shire in the Wheatbelt joint the Wheatbelt jay DApp have rejected as well, but and the EPA gave it conditional approval, so it would seem to me that this is going to go ahead.

Well, I hope that the government and they have an opportunity now to actually listen to the community of York, to listen to Aboriginal elders, and to listen to the

From memory Lachlin that when you sort of turn off at the Lakes and you head into head into York and probably about ten ten to fifteen k's in on the northern side off the road, there's a quarry or some sort of brick works or something in there. Anyway, isn't there is that sort of the area talking about.

Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, though the BGC quarry is just as you turn off, and this proposed development's probably about fifteen to twenty k's towards towards York, so in the Shire of York, and it also buds onto the Shire of Mundaring and I can tell you that the Mundaring Shire are also very much opposed to this landfield development.

So let me ask you this that if it's so far out of town, why are your people worried about it? Is it's the road, the environment, the extra traffic. Is it?

Absolutely, it's the main arterial road into York. And you know, as tourism is growing within the Avon Valley, you know there is major issues that are set around road safety, road concerns and also the environmental impacts that all have on coming into you know, the prestige Avon Valley. And we also mustn't forget us all vow that this is

Rid of it. Yeah all right, thanks for talking to us here, Zollie, thank you. Lock from Hunter, Lockie Hunter. He's a National's MP, new MP. He's in Albany today, but getting a couple of text messages coming in on

Won?

Double three? Ay two. Love to hear from you. If you live out that way and you're listening to us on the app today or perhaps in your car, give us a shout one, double three atty two. Yes, no questions. They were trying to clear this up. Do our politicians deserve a pay rise? We're off to a flyer the nose is seventy four. The yeses are twenty four. We would love to hear from you if you have a legal question. Nick marou Jack in the studio.

Next aware they break down the north Bridge Tunnel westbounder and trends the left emergency lane block to make sure you drive it carefully.

And that truck is still broken down.

In champions Tonkin Highway southbound Ranford Road, the right turning lane partially closed by incident response to mechanic is also on site. I'm Rob Beaver on Perths Traffic leader six pr.

Good anat Hello Bowie.

Hey you going great. That's a little bloke. Yeah he's doing good? Is he yep? Causing you any grief?

I just sometimes I come home late and.

See what you say? Does he listen to you?

Ah?

Look not not really. But every night now I'm coming home and he's dressed a spider man. We play, we play the games, and sometimes I get home late and.

Yeah, all right, all right. The hard working Nick Maruchak, father of Lev one Double three eighty two. If you'd like to speak to Nick Mark, thanks for calling. How are you?

Yeah?

Good?

Thanks? Jim Right, So the situation, it's my friend his mom passed away a few months ago. He's in his mid fifties. He's lived in the family home with his mum and dad forever. He used to work. Oh, his dad passed away a few years ago. His mom passed away. But before that is mum got sick with cancer. He became her career. And now that his month's passed away, he was recently told that the house has got to

Yeah, So this is what comes to mind Mark first of all. When so I'm going to assume that your friend maybe since his financial need right, and let's assume that your friend is in a worse financial position than the siblings. So if that's the case, one strategy is your friend can potentially challenge the will. Right, so he's been allocated and equal share the same as everyone else, and he can say, look, this is my circumstances, I don't I mean a further need of further provision from

Oh okay, yep, all right, So yeah, I forgot to say his syst that which hasn't he hasn't seen in years since his dad passed away, never hasn't been in contact with him or his mum since, and never came to his mum's funeral life So and he she won't speak to him.

Who's the executive I'm.

Not too sure. I think it might there be the public trustee. Possibly, he's not too short himself.

Yeah, so he would. So you want to get a copy of the will. We want to find out the executor is. You want to find out what steps they've maken to apply for probat because that six month deadline is ticking, so it sounds like he's probably not going to get consent from the sister, so he would probably then the next step is to look at making this family provision claim. That's what it's called challenging a will provision.

Right.

There's lots of.

Lawyers that do it, least Croft from Croftbridge is one lawyer that I kind of I know she does that kind of work, but many other lawyers will do it. Some lawyers would do it on a no win, no fee basis as well. But the first step is you want to get sit down with lawyer and go, do you think I can get more than just an equal share. He may not get the entire house, but he might get more than he's getting now, which might set him up.

Yeah.

I mean we try and rent, try and buy for what you get. For a guy, I don't want to see him homeless.

Set Yeah, So that's the steps you've taken. That's the mechanism, and the court decide what's fair and they'll weigh everything up. But yeah, you can't challenge a will if you're well off. You can only challenge you will if you actually need further provision. You have to have that, and it sounds like it's got it.

Yeah, all right, I hope that helps, mate.

Thank you very much, appreciate it.

Choose mate, thanks for calling in one double three eight eighty two. If you'd like to speak to Nick Maruchak, our hard working team have spotted this loophole in the town of Basandine's in the area of graffiti. Nick, if you live in Basso, someone graffiti's your home, your residents, and if you refuse to clean it up yourself or the Basendeine shy, I will come and do it for you.

Yeah, that's nice of them, that's right. So basically I had a look at this legislation. There is legislation called the Graffiti Vandalism Act of twenty sixteen.

State Act YEP state legislation.

And it basically says that if you if counsel gets your consent to remove graffiti, then there is a mechanism in the act for them to recover their cost of removal. But if you don't give the council consent to remove it, then the local cancer has the power to go into your property and remove it, but then they can't recover.

The removal that cost from you.

So and that's look section twenty five.

Have a look at that.

So and so this is this place that applies statewide. Then so then if you have graffita in your house and council sends you a letter saying can you please remove it, then it appears to be an incentive there to say no, thanks, I'll just wait for them to do it.

Yeah. They so in the first instance, they write a letter to me, and so that you've got graffiti on your fence, you need to remove it at your cost. And if you say no, and then they will come do it. Anyway, what if the city you stilling would do that?

And I think it will depend and if it is unsightly enough, right.

So it's hard I saw. Yeah, Okay, if it's a huge.

Public I saw, then they'll probably do it. But otherwise you have to weigh the cost of having this free to your house versus cleaning it up.

And yeah, many many many years ago, there was some anti six PR graffiti on Orrong Road, targeting the station manager and myself well suggesting that I'm suggesting a certain act that I would enjoy and yeah, and the local cat which I think out I think out there is the big park. I think they removed it for us, but yeah, it was. You know, they say all publicity

Pets, that's right. So the changes came in this this week. They apply to people who are married, so they don't yet apply it to de facto couples because de facto couples I dealt with by slate state legislation, and this is a nationwide one and it basically allows the court to make orders for pets. In the past, pets were treated like in the same way a car would. But now the court can say, look, they acknowledge that the pets have and people have an emotional connection to their pets.

But it won't be a function and drop down menu and my guv anytime soon. Big changes to the Family Law Act. To give us a call lots of times to get your calls in. If you'd like to speak to Nick today, one double three eight eighty two, anything you'd like. Of course, Nick specializes in family law. We'd love to hear from you today, One double three a eighty two. Is Nicole there, Jimmy, She is, Yeah, Hi Nicole? How are you?

Oh good?

Thanks Simon.

I was just hoping for some advice. My mum was involved in a very bad car accident eighteen months ago. She's just received a large some payout some iqua. She does get a part pension and has superannuations, so I presume we have to go to center link and does she have to now start she's over eighty start lodging tax returns.

So that is an accounting question and I can have a quick look at this, but you would have to speak to your accountant about that because I let me get back to you on that one, Nicole, because that one would just stumped me on the face of it, because there is an argument there to say, well, that's not taxable income, right, So that is that is a payment for pain and suffering, So you have to have a look at Actually, I think it's coming to me now.

Entitled to that.

But then the portion that's allocated to pain and suffering or injury to your body and stuff like that, that stuff my understanding. But check with the account is generally not taxed, right, so that's tax free. So it depends on how the insurer has allocated and normally, in a lot of these claims, they separate them into various categories. So have a look at that. And if the entire thing is for pain and suffering, then there won't be tax.

If she's ak, yeah, there's no lost income is there?

If she's overrating, there wouldn't be though, so but you have to check because you know it's these are technical things. So if there's no portion allocator of the tax income, then potentially last income or any anything of that nature.

With minimal Yeah, all right, it might be worth getting an account and to have a look at Nicole. But off the top of Nick's head, and I could hear that, I could hear him there's actually a noise. While he was his world, he was thinking, there's a little whirring sound in the background. Nick reckons she won't have to declare that in her tax return because of payment for suffering thanks to Cole.

Thank you.

Sheers will stay there, mate, will come get you in just a second. It's fifteen minutes to eleven, or as normal people say, cord to eleven, but on.

Jimmy A bit of a John Butler Zebra one double three eight to eighty two. If you'd like to give Nick Marouchak a call from MK illegal Hello, Will.

Good Sarmon good Ay, Nick, I'm just wondering if a person can be the executor, the sole beneficiary, and along with their spouse, be the sole witnesses to the signing.

Of the world.

So, yes, a person could be a sole beneficiary and an executor, but it's recommended that they don't witness the will, right, so will needs to be witnessed by two people. It's good practice not to have the beneficiary and their partner witness the will because that can lead to allegations of

Would they need to apply for probate?

Yeah, you only need.

To apply for probate if if you need a court order, right, So, say, if you have a joint property with your husband and wife, the property automatically goes the other person, you don't need to apply for probate, but if the house is in sole names, you would need to. So it just depends on what assets they have on whether they need to apply for probate.

Right.

So, if the husband died first with my mother and the house went to my mother and then she passed away, then definitely, but they've got to apply for probate.

But usually when a husband and wife owned property together, the house automatically transfers, So you don't need probate in that case unless you know there's a there's an asset in a bank account that's it's more than fifty grand or something.

But if the wife dies, then whoever's the beneficiary needs to apply for probate. Yep, Okay, very good, thank you.

Nick, Thanks will good on yet thanks for calling in? Did they? Jodi?

Hi?

Here?

Are you going doing well?

Thank you?

Just have a question. My son recently separated from his partner.

They have a child together.

He wants to stop her being able to like move whether it be up north, down south into state with that child.

Is there a form that he can complete for that?

Yeah, so you would apply to the court to get something called as an injunction. So if someone if someone is threatening to leave the state or threatening to leave the country, then you're What normally happens is you make an emergency application to the court and you ask the court to stop them from leaving. The court will make this decision based on the best interests of the child, so it'll take they will take into account all the factors.

Thanks Nick, Thanks Jody, thanks you call. Good luck with it all for Yon has sums you nied Hello fion she is how long does the next partner have to rearrange her mortgage in her name for the home if she has agreed to the settlement?

So what you normally see? Yeah, so normally when you have a settlement. You have something called consent orders documented approved by the court or bunny financial agreement. It's whatever is in the terms. So usually the consent orders will specify your sixty days or thirty days.

Right.

If there's nothing in the consent orders and there's no time limit in the agreement, then it's a reasonable period of time, right. So a reasonable period of time varies from case to case, but I would say sixty days is probably pushing it. And if you can't get the finance, and you can't refinance, you've tried everything, then then it's time to consider potentially either the other person taking over the mortgage or selling.

So hope the hell's Fiona. Thank you very much for all your correspondence today.

David, good morning to you both.

Nick.

I have a will in place. I have three daughters and they are the fisheries of of my estate, and I've nominated them as a joint and several executors. How do I go about tinding a lawyer or somebody to give them assistance in carrying out their duty as executives or taking it over if they don't want to have anything to do with that duty.

So the way I would approach it is you want to have. You give your children the first choice to act as executives, because an executor can hire a lawyer to help them. Right, So, generally speaking, I would say keep your children as executors and they have the option to engage a lawyer. If you do have a law firm in mind that you think will be a good fit, then what you can do is let them know about it in advance.

Or write wishes.

Lest you see you write something these are my wishes, right, make sure you write it, keep it away from the will. Make sure you say this is not a will, This is not a legal binding document. These are just my wishes, and that's where you can give them some advice and give some messages to your execus it that your executor can take into account when they act.

So that's the way I would do it.

I would I would leave them on and if one of them drops out, it's fine. The other two can keep keep staying. But you always want to give them that first right to decide on who helps them.

I want to be a bit more proactive and get them to get some help, professional help for them.

Day.

Yes, yes, so I would say lawyer would be the best person to help. There are also and these they are also professional executive companies, right, but they can charge a lot. So I would say, maybe you have a chat with a lawyer, have a meeting with them, and then let the let your daughters know. This is someone who can definitely step in and give them their contact details and have it all ready to go their help.

Dave, that's a that's a great help.

Yes, thank you very much.

Cheers, mate, Thank you for phoning in and good luck. I hope you live forever. Mate.

Hello Diana, good morning, thanks for being there. I can't noted from the government website the power of guardianship papers which my son signed when the hospital refused to treat him. I use that power of guardianship to ask why they didn't. And they have insisted that they need permission from him to speak to me. And he is mentally ill and not in a position to give any sort of legal agreements. So the hospital, as I said, has refused it to

Yeah?

This is should they respond to me under the power of guardianship or or can they ignore me?

So I mean, if the first thing is when it comes to these kind of medical treatment. The first thing the doctors in the hospital do is they can the patient give consent? Right, They go to the patient first and they have a decide if the patient's got consent or not. If he can't give consent and he's that mentally ill, then the person who's guardian under the power

Right.

So the hospital has probably made a decision that your son can give consent, but you probably think he can't. Write Is that right, Dan.

He has been a mentally ill patient at that hospital on a revolving door basis for the last two years.

Yeah, so you if he can't give consent, you will be entitled to it. But if he can give consent, then the hospital's right. So if you like, I can give you a quick call, find out a bit more details and try and point you give you some strategies after.

Thanks Nick, Thanks Diana, thanks for phoning in. Nick, Thank you for today. Mate. We're done. I hope you get to do some get some spoty time with Lev a little bit later on this evening.

You would have heard this morning if you're listening to Breakfast, that's Belmont. The city of Belmont, the suburb of Belmont is pers best kept secret. Would you agree with that.

So, how do you describe a best kept secret. Well, I think, in this case, somewhere that no one goes.

Well, it's it's it's I think that's what one of those places you drive through, but when you added up, it's got a really nice part there called Tomato Lake. It's got that sky diving place, it's got restaurants, it's near the river.

At one of your talks.

Yeah, and he just looked he was just watching me, and he was right in my line and he just watched me. I've never seen someone look so miserable, And I thought, how can this guy be so not enjoying this? And then then I start doubt myself and think like going in with it self doubt And he's just looking at me with his arms folded, and then three quarters.

Of the way through he's just walked out.

And so for the rest of my talk, like my head was just thinking, what's going on? What have I done wrong here? Really he threw me completely through me he walked out.

That was weir. Wouldn't happen very much. No, first, your talks are very very good, and normally I would never walk out of you.

Normally it's if it's a nighttime thing. It's dark and you can't see anything, so they could be leaving but you don't know. But this was a daytime thing in an office, and he was looking at it and just and he just walked out.

Horrible. Anything like agree all right, places I reckon you have never been to please try and guess where they are if you Guildford.

I've been to Guildford because I had some friends went to Guildford Grammar. Mark Skiffington went to Guildford Grammar. So I've been there. And I went out there for a funeral to the school in the chapel. And I went to Lilac Hill one time for a game.

Lisa is the president of the Belmont Resident and Ratepayer Action Groups. She spoke to Millsy and Carl.

Well, it depends what you want to do when you have a holiday, but it's not somewhere i'd come. I mean, if you go to Paris, you go to the Eissel Tower and have a look. You know there's many other places and in person you've got a lot of other attractions everywhere else, but you've.

Got lots of accommodation places, you know, those cheap hotels and and.

The great news is another one hundred and twenty apartments have been just passed yesterday.

A part of your city, Yes it is, Well.

What's wrong with it's beautiful stretch of the river there goes down to Belmont par You've got the races I mean is Scott Yeah, Ascott?

Yeah, you could go to Ascot, but not everybody. If you're not into horse racing, you probably wouldn't go to Avrocot, would you?

What about Belmont Forum?

That's an experience, It.

Is certainly an experience. I personally don't shop there.

Experience there well, you.

Know, parking sometimes an issue there, and you know the city is encouraging all certain councils are encouraging her ound to bike everywhere, but you might get to bike stole when you come out to take your load of shopping home.

Man Sam, very positive about the city that you represent.

Lisa, Well, not as a holiday destination.

So who is that lady? She's the president of the Belmont Resident and rape Payer Action Group.

Wow, she's not a fan of Belmont by sound. Doesn't like the forum, doesn't like the apartment, doesn't like ascot of course, you know that strip along the Greatest and Highway with that river is like, I think that's a fairly poorly planned part of Perth. Of course that should be beautiful, that should be riverside park land, expensive properties. But it's just this big road and as she said, some of those cheap pots.

A nice cycleway goes through there between the houses, and it's quite hilly. There's a there's an island in there in our scot Waters is the little island you can go onto. A little cycle way around that as well, which is pretty cool. Lisa's Lisa's job as president the Bell not Resonack Action Group should be up for review. Idn't exactly sell it. Likes living there, doesn't want people to come there for a whole holidays. Get a lads, Tomato Lake they got.

Yep, yeah, they get the pasta sauce. Yep, tomato basis pasta sauce.

So all the leftovers, they'd all go down to this little swamp there which is tomato like and they throw tomatoes at each other and that was an annual thing.

How long ago was this last?

Oh god, I think it's probably probably in the early nineteen hundreds, but they would have just this massive, big tomato fight. Everyone would come.

Down with their make that up did you make no?

No, no, this is a true story. This is how it became called Tomatoke.

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even consider the possibility of life on other planets.

Pretty good bit of kit. That's the style of war or that's Richard Burton, Sir Richard Burton. But what's at the start of the start of War of the world So the actually Wroes novel. That's from the novel that's in the in the words of the journalists. Oh that's okay, that's yeah, it's the start. So that's the it's a double album's the startup. That's a nice voice. Hey, so hang on a second. Not as good as Tony Max. Pretty good. So there's a book War of the Worlds.

Okay, yeah, I was wonding with this, was going.

Yeah, we australianized it, and I think it's a I'll bring to you after this break, have a break.

You got to read it like in Awes and Wells reading in Australian Burton who read that one?

Yeah, there's lots of places along that river that are very underrated, very beautiful.

Yeah, and I don't think have been utilized well enough. Closer to Basso, Mick on the closer to Baslon and Guildford on the on the river side, there's a lot of homes that have river that has just been tied up. They probably own those homes since the nineteen hundreds and nineteen twenties. Yeah, and the public can't get to them. Okay, there's a lot of places like that one double three

Mick, you are absolute gold, mate, absolutely gold.

But listen, listen.

I'm a rap on the road, been here about twelve years and I honestly moved over from New Zealand. I have no idea where I'm going and I'm lucky I've got this GPS I.

Would be last.

I'm in Corfield. I'm in Corefield right now and I don't actually know which I'm going, mate, so I'm trying to get to the city.

Simon doesn't even know where Corfield is.

Since the race, I don't.

Even know where Corfield was.

I was like, go there, where is it.

It's up the back, I don't know, somewhere near Godsfields.

I think it is up to the back.

Of course, there you go. Well thanks Jade and cheers mate, Jade. Excellent work, can a lindsay?

Yeah?

Good guys.

Embleton do you know where there is?

Meg?

Is it only the vines?

No?

It's situated between Moley Bayswalder Inglewood and it has a nine hole golf course, does it?

I used to live in Inglewood. I didn't know where Embleton was.

I'm not will you probably drive by every day?

Yeah?

Okay?

Is it?

Is it a small sort of little part, small pocket?

Yeah, it's small, hard I suppose, but it's it's Yeah, it's just been there for years.

Absolute heartland. Thanks, thanks Lindsey. Good and do you know where success is success? Yes?

I was down there on the weekend. Actually that was at the Success Regional Sporting Complex. Yess because the Southern Lines would be saying we're playing Midlands down there and it's our success. It's a their club, fantastic club, one of the one of the great community clubs are yep. Really just they get a good crowd down there. It's a good good they're exactly what a community Rubby club should be. Yeah, Southern Line, so I might head off.

To them my line. Thank you, Joanne, thank you for your thoughts today.

Get a Wayne, Hey, boys, there you going?

Wait good?

I just come over, Well, just come over. And you kept me on the whole for so long.

It's about an hour ago, Gil Sorry sorry mate.

In the Battle Dean and the fuel station on the left there selling it for a dollar forty six.

Now, Wayne, that's you've got an eye for these things, haven't you, Wayne? For these bargains.

Well, I'm not driving me trucks today. I'm not in me Kenny, Yeah.

Right, Kenworth. Cab over cab over something?

That's called cab over I don't got anyway.

What do you mean over?

There's a truck, there's a start. That truck is called a cab over something or other?

Is that right? Wayne?

Now mine's the stubnos, Because.

What's the one the cab over something? What's it called a cab over something?

Well, it's just a cab over truck, mate, because the cab goes over the engine.

Yeah. See some of the things I don't know at all.

Make whatever you do. Don't go and get a truck driving job, mate, because there's enough people out there that don't know what they're doing when they're driving truck.

And I think Joanne was saying, do you know where success Hill is? I don't know where success Hill is? Is that in success I hope so should be, or maybe it's not. Though maybe success Hill is another suburb.

Leslie says. Colfield Road is out in Gosnels and Thornleigh. It's not actually a suburb, it's a road. Lisa says, I freeze myself every day with cold showers. Really interesting.

I've been a few I've had a few cabs coming home from the airport and when I tell them where my dress is, they just give me their phone and I just just whacked my address on their phone. And that's how That's how they get around. The old days, the cabbage used to know all the streets.

Yeah they did. We've had an email, haven't we a text message? Ann from which we can we read out from the head of the the Bayswater. Sorry the Belmont Rate Players Group, thank you, and so Lisa Hollins is listening. Hi Lisa, thanks for getting in contact. Hi Bowie. The question raised this morning on Breakfast was Belmont as a tourism destination, which was not what the interview was about, not about living here. So Lisa Hollins is president of the Belmont Residents Action Group. It is not my job

I'd say cord to seven.

Yeah, I reckon, mayor seould get up at six. The good the ones who come well because they do what to do business for your counsel at six o'clock. But who else is up at six o'clock? Everybody who or the everybody they are? That's you can't say everybody's up at six captains of industry up at six.

That's where you're working, mate, because I get up at a quarter to seven, one number three, eight eighty two.

Do you want to hear my Australian version? Yeah? But can I ask you a question about a dove before we do this? A dove? Yeah? Yeah?

You know when they release doves, where do they go?

They fly up in the air for a little bit and they come back. So they are they homing? Are they they come back? Don't they? But but do they come back too?

They wouldn't come back to who released them. So if you're at a it's say you're a wedding, a wedding, right one of your weddings, where do you think they go?

Well?

If so, you let them out at the wedding and they go, they don't come back to the wedding, do they?

Yeah? Yeah, I think they do?

Or do they go home? And could you come in for a set please? We'll ask Ann did she have doubs at her wedding?

No?

But she knows a lot of a lot of things, a lot more than you and I and mixt question is when a dove is released at a at a function and a wedding, where do the doves go? I think they come back, don't they? But no, where do they come back to? And are they?

Are they homing doves? Are they homing doves?

They come back to the higher person?

But where as into the case at the wedding or to their house pigeons homing doves? Are you think they live in different houses wherever the bloke that owns them?

And can you answer, Mick please? I don't think I can see.

I've never I've never thought about this before, because I've never been to a wedding where they've done the dove thing. I've only seen it in movies.

Have you seen it in person?

No?

But like a f at funerals. At funerals, I don't know if they're allowed to do it.

They do because I'm exploring funerals at the moment. And one of the options is a job as a job. One of the options is look at me as a job. No, I'm organizing mine, oh, so be sensitive.

Side.

One of the options is you can release Dutch. Janey's got a gun.

And that's when I saw that. I thought, well, when you release them, where do they go?

So that is an option. So you had a dove option presentage for the one that you were planning.

Yes, but I want to know where they go before I signed you.

Ask the people that offered it.

Because that was more interesting.

Now I want to know.

I think they'd have to come back. They're not going, not flying to be predated upon something to eat them.

I assume.

I assume they're not going and getting wild doves and then just keeping him in a box for a while and then they're not go. I mean they could and then they wouldn't have to worry about where they go, because they'd probably just go, oh, thank god, I'm out of that box.

Correct. First time. An's never been able to answer something I.

Wasn't I wasn't listening attentively enough, and I didn't google it in time. I didn't ask GPT.

I will and where did the doves go? All right? They'd come back to the handler.

Surely, but at the wedding.

More then, how did the handle it?

How do they notice to come back? They wouldn't have to come back exactly, That's what. They wouldn't have to come back to that box at the wedding. They'd go home if they're homing doves. But I didn't think there was such a thing.

We've got some double gun, of course we have. Can we just play Jane? He's got a Gary game?

Please got a gun?

Got a gun?

Some of your finest works when you're driving home in your farm. Ut does it have bluetooth? No? Does it have Do you have the ability to play music in it with outbreaking the law? No?

I've only got it's got a radio. I am FM radio and that ship I can't plug anything into it. It's got nothing, all right.

Maybe when you get home, have a listened to all of Jane's Got a Gun, okay, and then then have a good look at yourself, because I don't think I've ever listened to that whole song. No, I don't think you have. Get I Peter, doves, Where do they go when you release them?

Blood pigeons?

You know.

They're not? Said again.

Simon, Yeah, tell the mate.

Yeah yeah, sorry mate, Yeah, No, the doves are not the one they release. They're release bloody pigeons. Doves. Do you see them all over the place. They're not the one that's come back. No, it's pigeons.

But they're released white pigeons.

Yeah, whye a grayish color.

They're the pigeons you know they're not?

Are the ones you see the brown things that are bout the millions all around the plate?

Yeah? Wow, this is a game change. So I reckon they were doves. Thanks, Peter, Good on your mate, Hello, Julie hi hi.

On the Morning show The Today Show the other day, they were interviewing a guy that does that, and it's funny because he's single and he was trying to meet a girl and Carl was trying to match him up with someone and he releases doves, and he did it in the park and they just flied back to his house where he lives. So that's obviously where their food is and you know where he homes them.

So and they were doves, they were doves.

Well they were white, So I think they were doves.

Okay, okay, because.

They just go back to his house.

You're right, You're right, they go back to his house. Because I wonder what the ranges though.

Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't want to You need to get them home. If it's a business, yes, these you'd be back down the back in the dove shop.

How do you train them?

I don't know. Wow, you're asking the wrong bloke. Thanks Julie.

Hello len Oh, morning Simon, Morning Fellers. Yeah. Look, we've had a couple of funerals and they've staid doves. And when they've gone to release them, and or we've gone to release them, I go, they're homing pigeons. How often do you feel what doves? Nada? So they're all homing pigeons.

All right, Okay, thank you. Linn Lynn lives in Sonagra, however that is north yep. So Julie said they're doves. They go back to Prince where the doves crisis Jane, this one here we call plunkers today with some justification. I think, come on, plunkers, they are homing pigeons. They go home and they live every day, likely where the owner live. Simon, Doves like pigeons. They go home, says Sue. One double three ay two clowns says Peter, the lorny

So we so we haven't worked out of this, but we still have their doves. So Julie thinks they're doves, but Lynn and Peter, I think, said they're pigeons.

Yeah. I'll have to follow up.

I'll bring up the funeral people and say, listen, what are you trying to sell me here?

Good question. I would have thought they come straight back to the handler. Yeah, no, round a it and they come back. Oh yeah, like Ossie the Eagle. Wonderble three eighty two, thirteen minutes to twelve. We'll come back more of Mick Collis after these want me to do the Australian version of War of the Worlds, Yes, really quickly, Yes, so you know, no one would have believed to backing

That makes more sense than the other one. Fucking I think that easy to understand. Yeah, much better, Well done, Simon, Thank you very much. Well chat GPT did that for us. So you're worried about AI taking over of you, you know you're not worried about anybody.

If I get one, then I'll be worried. I never thought. I never thought as a writer, I thought I'd be safe.

I thought I Chatoo too wouldn't be able to write well I was wrong, there wasn't I.

Well, you use a lot, Yeah, I don't. What was the name of that program you used to do in twinies.

Audacity, But that's not AI, that's a that's a bring a fight editing that editing. Yeah, yeah, so you can cut up. So someone said the tracks cut up cut one just dropped.

And someone said it's the it's a free cheap one. Yeah, it is a free check one. Yeah.

There's another one called mixpad that I use that I have to I paid for. But the or that'ss he's just great. It's it's just really easy to use. Yeah, eight minutes to mid day.

Get a George.

Simon.

How are you for, George? Doves and pigeons.

Yeah, well that's definitely pigeons. We are in the racing pigeon game. These aren't actually raising pigeons, but they're homing pigeons and they get trained around home, they get fed very well, and then that take them to the funeral part or the weddings or engagement parties and they'd release them and they come straight back home.

Wow.

So, so why are the wedding or the funeral places or weddings say that they're doves.

Yeah, with them, but they're definitely pigeons. They are racing pigeons. Some of them are homing pigeons, but they're the ones that could release it with funerals and weddings. They are definitely pigeons.

And a friend of mine needs to do and white white pigeons.

Well, because they prefer white.

The racing pigeons coming all sorts of colors that come in blues, reds, and grays, but the preferred white ones for weddings and funerals.

Yes, thank you very much, George, good on you. I so doves are they're marketed as doves? Yeah, because if it's a symbol of peace and love, aren't I said, you feel, why don't we release some pigeons. He's not going. I'm not going to have it rats with wings. If they say doves, I have that, that'd be nice. But they're riffing us off. It's full sabotaging. Possibly can I Jeff.

Oh, hi, simon him?

Good, thank you.

I just read I don't know what you're talking about. I just heard pigeons, but I thought i'd i'd.

Ring up and give you a bit of trivia.

I just had that bloke that of course they're doves. You should know, Mick, you're into markets.

What I'm saying.

I thought they were, but people are saying they're pigeons, but I thought they.

Now they're doves.

They're doves.

It's marketing doves money. When they used to fly the Lancaster the Germans, this is a true This is true story because I did the tour of the Lancaster when they used to fly the Lancas over Germany because they had to be silent and in case they got into trouble there there was a cage on board and they

That's the truth.

That's a true story. Yeah, the tour. Yeah, Yeah, cheers, thank you, Jeff one double three eight two. Mel Criddle is going to clear this up. She's up next, which you're going to clear up the doves versus pigeons. When I was apprentice meek yep and I worked at the blast Furnace in Quanana. We had blokes who had canaries

Mel.

Meet Mel. You guys have met before, we've met before, you were old friends. Are doves white pigeons or homing pigeons or racing pigeons?

Well, I was, I was listening to your driving in and we've had them rock up at the clinic and they're white, they're pigeons, and they are supposed to go home. They often have a tag on their leg, so they identified and there's a number that we can call to try and get them back to the person who had them.

So the pigeons that identify.

As doves, yes, I think so that quite large large.

Beds get lost the clinic and they've been.

Brought into the clinic here, right, Yeah, So do we have do we have doves?

We have doves, they're not the white the white gray ones.

Yeah, yeah, light pink ones.

We don't have white doves, not that I've seen.

So that whole thing has been a sham.

It sounds nice, though, it doesn't it.

Yeah, but it's not true, is it the pigeons?

As Jeff correctly pointing out, you work in marketing, one of your your colleague, what of your community to come up with? Is there's such a thing dove? I'm not sure. He hasn't. Look he's got his face. He looks at me like he thinks I should know. He's got his arms crossed.

So that's yeah, Okay, Jackie's phone in Hijackie, Hi, guys, just quickly.

When you said about success Hill a little while ago, it's not in success it's a little pocket of Baton Dean on the river.

Well, there's a lot of stuf going on around Basandeine Embeleton, success.

Hill, Ashfield, Ashfield, so successful. I think I think it's a It's train station too, isn't Jackie.

Yes, there's a train station there as well.

Yeah all right, Jackie. You so thank you for being very polight and lovely and supportive, very something you might turn your mind to me and thank you Mel mel Kriddles in after New State, listening back in the sect three and a half to midday. Just like a white wing dove, Stevin Nicks, what's the what the next? What's the next line? He's sayned a songless sailor singing? Who I used dove soap? Is that actually made repigeons? Rob Darley? It wouldn't sell, would it?

You?

You people, you marketing people have got a lot to answer. No, that's why I don't like them. I don't like them. But that's interesting, so we don't. There's no such thing as a white dove in Australia. It's just a white pigeon.

Yeah, similar love and hope, isn't it Well a pigeon.

A pigeon is yeah, symbol of love and hope.

Very good marketing, Yeah, very good. Thank you mate, Thank you, so the good rest of your day and I'll see you next week. We'll talk to cheers mate. Thank you.

So excellent.

Yeah, made locally made down a naval base. If you haven't we you know, if you if you want to win somethday, ring in. But it's a locally made product and we'd love to support Scott and the family business down there. So good a Scott. If you are listening in the dove conversation continues by.

The tech What interesting, isn't it?

Yeah?

It is so that. I think it's they are seen as a symbol of love and peace, aren't they.

Yeah?

Yeah, absolutely, And they.

Fly sometimes when they fly where they shouldn't they come to vet center. Yeah.

The good people out there, Yeah, rescue them and bring them in and we certainly try and get them back to the respective owners.

I guess sure. One level three A eighty two. If you'd like to speak to Mel Crittle today, if you're having a problem with your dog or your cat or any of your animals, ring Melchi. Very good. We have a couple of topics for you today. There's a new product for diabetes management and catsmel Yes, it's.

Quite exciting, and we got we had the rep come and talk to us all a couple of days ago in the clinic and then there's a big launch event next week. But basically it is I think going to change the way we manage diabetes in cats. We see a lot of diabetes in older pussycats, and I guess it is similar to type two diabetes in US, so it's insulin resistant rather than an insulin dependent one. But traditionally our only way of sort of managing these is

That was sort of our way of managing it.

But what this new medication does is just it's no more needles, no more insulin. It works basically by acting on a little thing in the kidneys that effects glue cooase reabsorption and essentially stabilizes glue cooase levels that way, and then the cats sort of long winded story, but start to the insulin resistance problem gets resolved, So it will just be life changing for many cat owners out there.

Yeah, good, all right, what's it called?

It's called send Velgo, so send Velgo. It is prescription. So yeah, something you need to chat with you bet about?

Yeah, all right, thanks. Well than new diabetes management product for owners with diabetic cats. Well we've talked about brandsa a bit.

You and I are yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I know there's been lots of talk recently of class actions both here in Australia and also overseas. And I think, as I said a couple of weeks ago, you know, as a veteran industry, we're certainly very very aware of it. It's an interesting product, I guess, you know. Within Swanborne Vet with the seven or eight vets that we've got on the team, I can only speak highly of it. It's certainly been life changing for so many

Yeah, all right, Baranza. I' likes a phone in you can ring Mel Critle today. Any issues you're having with your your loved ones, your faury loved ones. Won double three A two would love to hear from you today. And I know I've asked you this over the last couple of weeks, but we now see the changes to the pit stop shops and you know rescue dogs, yes, and or registered breeders can only be sold through through that's the only waking voice of a puppy. Have you

Yeah?

Not so much.

I guess we're still seeing lots of puppies. Yeah, come through from breeders. Many of them are WA based, lots of them are all also over east.

I guess.

Yeah.

We had the Clermont Pet Shop close to us and we would sort of see the puppies from there from time to time. It's still early days, but we sort of haven't seen. Yeah, we haven't seen much of a difference.

You know.

As a consequence of that, certainly there's still the same number of rescue dogs coming into the clinic and you know that are being rehomed, which is lovely to see. There's lots of rescue centers out there, so it's good to see that they're still doing it.

There was a little bit of a little bit of a political stir around the new software tool whereby people could register yes, either that their dog or the cat had been sterilized and that was so it's Hannah Beasley's the Minister for Local Government, and so there were some criticism that local governments weren't going to have access to this software tool for registration. Is there is local government registration the same as what you would have at the clinic.

It's separate too, so we're often having we provide sterilization certificates or declarations if we haven't actually done the surgery, we'll examine the patents sort of say, well, in my opinion, it looks to be a sterilized animal. They may or may not have a little tattoo in they're left ear to indicate that they've been sterilized. So we'll certainly assist owners in getting their pets registered with the local governments. But yeah, it is a separate process to what we offer in the clinic.

All right, so your system's working, Okay, Maxine has phoned melkl a maccine.

Hi.

Mel, I was strange to find out my six months dog, Evalier was diagnosed to the UTI a number of weeks ago. Yeah, sorry, and antibiotics didn't seem to work. And now they've told me it was told me to put him on these kibbles that have to stay on the rest of his life. But he won't eat their mother.

Yes, he's very fussy about what food he has.

He has to have cooked chicken or you know, cooked steak or something. Is there anything if I've got any other options given that he won't eat the food that's supposed to go because they found crystallites in his euretha too.

So yeah, Okay, that was going to be yeah, all right, maccine. I was going to say, this could be a little bit complicated in answering because there's a few things here

Especially cavoodal type, that's fussy with their food.

So I would chat to you, I would go back to your vet and just say, you know you're having here is a fuss spot. Have that honest conversation with them. They'll be able to provide you with some other options as well, And I guess I would suggest that rather than me making suggestions here because I'm not across the

Well, when he was a puppy, he didn't drink a lot of water, so and he won't eat wet food.

That's the problem.

Yeah, So you seems to think he's gonna eat what I eat.

It's funny.

They don't take long to learn that, do they even, you know, And again I would really go back to your vet, but you know, chicken chicken broth can sometimes be helpful, and just having sort of tasty liquid in there for him would be a suggestion.

Okay, I think the Oka maccine all good?

Yeah, Maxine, this Maxine, Maxine, Thanks Maxine, thanks for phony in Today'd like to speak to doctor Melcruel. You can wonderbul three a eighty two back after these. Yeah, and a big hello to Scott a Cherish who's probably listening in today and slaving away at the Cherish factory today. Good on you, Scott. Thanks for supporting us call into being the running for a bag of Cherish pet foods Folk bag for your your dog or your cat. Roses found in doctor Mel Rose, I'm sorry by there.

Hello, Hi, I've taken over the care of a three year old cat who has been vaccinated previously.

If I have her in.

A cat run and just inside so she doesn't go outside, do I have to continue vaccinations?

Rose?

It's an interesting question, and I had the same thing, and I must admit I was a little bit more relaxed about continuing with the vaccinations. Now that goes against manufacturer guidelines. But what we do know about much of the vaccination immunities in pussy cats is that you know, will often go longer than the recommended twelve months. So if we you know, being in a cat run indoors, not going to boarding kennel's rows or needing to go

Yeah, sure, okay, thanks very much.

Thanks Rose, Thanks for bringing in geat Patrick.

Guys, I've got a Kakodle which we she's for now and we bought it from Clermont Petstel. She seems to wolf her food down. We bought the bowls that have got like obstacles in the try and slow it down something, but didn't we took that quick she.

Chose, does she?

So even with the slow feeder bat, she's still able to to ingest it quickly.

Yes, so we've got to sweech to kipple, which is a bit but you're not a fan of kipple, yes, So we're just not sure how to handle on. She's a bit like when you're food around. She hangs around with definitely don't figure at the table, but she just hungry.

Or yeah, yeah for food food driven, which can certainly help with your training if they're if they're motivated in that way. I guess the other consideration Patrick would be to do things, you know, is to make her work

Yeah, I'm sure my partner's bought and it's got little doors and they've got to open the doors to get the food out of it.

I think, yeah, there's yeah, there is some quite complicated ones. I tended to just I've just bought the one that, yeah, just with all the little tags on it, you know, fairly straightforward. It's sort of a I don't know, our foot square and just sprinkle the biscuits through that. And even you know, feeding the dogs smaller meals more frequently, you know, that's tricky if you're working. But just sort of slowing them down. That way, Patrick can be a way to do it.

Yeah, okay, cheers mate, thank you for ringing in, Patrick, cheers.

Really appreciate it. Steve and Virus ms Doctor Melsa's Hi, Simon and Melt. Hello Steve. Steve from Mills. One of our cats lights to sleep outside in an outside and closed there. It's freezing. Where can I buy a pet electric blanket please, Stephen.

I've seen them.

I think you can get them, you know, online from some of the bigger pet stores. We tend to steer, you know, not recommend things like hot water bottles and what not, just in case the cat sticks sticks their claws through it and then you end up with burns

Yeah, all right, thanks Steve. I'm going to guess Canning Mills in the foothills, isn't it.

Do you reckon?

I don't know. I think it is. I think it is other Canny Mills is where it sounds like. Yeah, thanks mate, Thanks to Steve. Our winner of our Cherish a bag of Cherish pet food is Patrick. Thanks Patrick for phoning in today to have a chat to mel Well. We've got details of Patrick. Yeah, so and and Sean. We'll get that out to you mate. Thank you very much.

Patrick, you win the Cherish pet food. Thank you Scott for

Thank you, so I'm in Good afternoon. The federal opposition says the government must do all it can to safeguard ORCAS. The United States is reviewing the agreement as it struggles with its own submarine production. Labour's playing down the inquiry and says ORCAS is still going ahead. A forty two year old Comescott man has been charged over an incident in Cannington in which he allegedly threatened to set fire to gas cylinders inside a hardware store. The TRG was

Did you like the Beach Boys, John, I did? I did two? Yeah, that's very much. Yeah, they didn't they?

And Brian Wilson was a genius, especially in the studio.

Yeah, major, wasn't he. I'd love to hear from me. This is if you'd like us to play a Beach Boys song. Love to hear from you and any trivia you've got. I think Glenn Campbell used to play in the Beach Boys as a live, live touring musician.

John Stamos John Stamos.

I reckon the Beach Boys are the backing vocalist and Don't let the Sun Go down on Me by Elton John and if did anyone go and I didn't, But did anyone go to the Beach Boys concert in Perth where Brian was a bit under the weather? Does anyone remember that? It was quite famous at the time. I reckon, I reckon maybe maybe the eighties. I don't. I think maybe the concert hall. But I think Brian fell over and didn't always wasn't always facing the audience. Sometimes he

Yes he did. But I remember seeing him at the Sydney of My Music Bowl in Melbourne. I think it was in the two thousands and he was making a bit of a comeback then, yep.

And he was brilliant. Yeah. Yeah, great songs. This is my favorite. The notion of a song. This is an old folk song, of a Harmian folks song. I think the notion of going on a boat trip with your granddad, getting into a fight, a pig on board the boat, eating everybody's food, having a fight with the coppers and the skipper of the boat. It's just a great concept. It is a cover. I think it's a Kingston Trio cover. But I love this song.

We Come Johnde.

Grandfather Brown.

Got into a fight. How good were You're right about the studio sound, time to the backing vocals, que the four part harmonies. If you want us to play a Beach Boys song, I'm happy to do it.

Well, you know how South Korea has been educating and annoying North Koreans for years by having wapping great big loudspeakers placed on the border and firing off messages about how cool democracy is, and apparently adding a bit of K pop South Korean pop music just to annoy the North Koreans and just to remind them that hey, we're still here and you know, perhaps we can get together one day. They've announced the suspension of those propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts.

I didn't know that. I knew about the loudspeakers. We didn't know about about the rubbish.

And you may have read in your astronomy textbooks, Simon, that the Milky Way is going to collide with the Andromeda galaxy sometime in the next few billion years. You'll be pleased to know that astronomers have run one hundred thousand computer simulations using space telescope data from the Hubble and Guy telescopes, and they found that it's only fifty to fifty.

It's only the chance of it happening at fifty to fifty. Yeah.

Yeah, there's a roughly few fifty percent probability that the two galaxies will avoid such a collision during the next ten billion years. So I don't know whether that means we'll just pass through each other or whether we'll just completely miss each other.

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know either.

Ten billion years away, it'd be great to find out, Yeah, it would be. And have you heard of the laboo boo doll phenomenon, Simon, No, okay, I haven't neither, Or I really just get these little bits and pieces on your social media feed.

Were you at the concert, the Beach Boys concert where Brian Wilson in particular was having a few problems with maintaining his center of center of gravity y day, Andrew, Andrew, Yeah, I was.

At the concert.

There was a series of There was at least two of them, because he returned on the night after we were there the night he actually fell into the drums and the concert. From memory, it was sort of a bit after halfway through at the old Entertainment Center. It was about fifteen or sixteen at the time, and he fell into the drums. It was all over the media that the next day of the papers, everything, and he came out the next concert.

I wasn't there.

This was reported and apparently did good vibrations, had tears in his eyes.

This absolute perfection. So that's my memory.

Yeah, thanks mate. So what year do you reckon?

Afternoon, Yeah, good afternoon, Simon. Yeah, I must have gone to the bad One because it was at the Entertainment Center. I thought it was nineteen seventy nine, and I was thought it was quite amazing how a band can play. Each member play a different song and a different key at the same time.

It was absolutely it was it was I've seen.

Some shoppers in my time, but that was that one took the cake. It was absolutely terrible.

So it wasn't It wasn't just Brian. The rest of the band were a little out of sort of.

Nah, it wasn't just him. It was the whole band because we were I was if a few mates of mine and we were trying to work out We're playing a little game trying to guess what song it was, you know, so it took us half the song to realize that song.

Yeah, what songs that That's amazing. I the only one I could ever remember that was a little sub sub showroom John's I saw the clash and they struggled with their sound and you did the same thing. You didn't know what they were doing or yeah it was Yeah it does. It happens rarely, doesn't it with these big, big bands.

Yeah, concert as well, And I was a bit disappointed as well.

Yeah, yeah, thanks John, we were probably at that. I've been a lot of conscious where you've been to. By the sounds of things, John, we've been in the same room. Rob from North Beach today, Rob Brian Wilson in the infamous Perth Beach Boys concert all the years ago. I went to it. Simon the memories are vague, but my recollection he just sat in the chair, unemotionally going through the motions of playing guitar. Always revealed the following day

Yeah, that's right, Simon.

The price of barrel of oil went up by over four percent last night. Iran has threatened to attack US spaces in the Middle East because President Trump has been intimating that he may decide to shut down Iran's nuclear program and the threat of attacks has been taken pretty seriously because the US has already ordered the partial evacuation of staff at their embassy in Iraq. So as tensions in the Middle East escalate, so to do. Share prices in energy companies here. Woodside are up two percent or
