Perth Today with Simon Beaumont Podcast - Tuesday, 24 June 2025

Yeah, thanks for listening in, and thanks to Carl and Milsey for the Bricky Show today here until one o'clock. Lots to here from you talkback radio program on a talk back radio station six PR. If you're new to the show, give us a call. We always ask a yes no question a poll that we take during the course of the morning, and today's question is about air travel and would you travel at the moment's given the

Right, let's clear this up once and for all.

So, given what we've seen, given the US has has made attacks onto the Tran Nuclear in Richmond facilities, and now given there's been a response from Tehran from Iran, President Trump has declared, or shortly declared, there is a twelve hour ceasefire between Israel and Iran. So that's mister Trump saying that. Read into that what you will. That's his thoughts and he's obviously a serious stakeholder and broker

That?

Yes? Are five and the nose of one fourteen minutes past nine. Thanks for listening in today, love to hear from you. Going to talk kid sport next here on the program, We're going to talk to people who are intimately evolved with community sport and with volunteering, and I wonder what they think about the kids sport amount being knocked back from five hundred bucks to three hundred bucks. We do have some audio from August the seventh last year.

I was just thringing up about the air travel. We know someone who is flying to London tonight and he was flying with Qatar through Dolha. He got an olficashion yesterday. The two flights have been changed and they're now flying through Hong Kong.

Okay, all right, and how do you?

Yeah?

Yeah, so how are you? How are you feeling about that? As a family member.

I would travel, you would.

Yes.

We flew out from the UK after being on holiday when there was all the Iran and Iraq problems and basically the plane just went up a few thousand feet, flew along and came back down.

Yeah, okay, so the normal and.

It doesn't worry me.

Yes, okay, it.

Doesn't worry me at all.

I would jump on a plane.

I don't think i'd want to go through.

Your heart or Dubai.

At the moment. I would probably find another route, but I would still get on a plane.

And fly if I had to back to the Yeah, all right, thank you, Margaret, thanks for calling in, Thanks for your thoughts, have a good day. Thank you. Lots of correspondence on this Lee, Sorry, John is a no, he doesn't want to fly at the moment. The fieries are out and about with placards and signage on major arterial roads asking for better paying condition. So I'm assuming that's professional firefighters. That's just coming from one of our listeners.

Linda.

Pete says, don't let a war get in the way of a great holiday. Too many drama queens fearmongering on this one, so that say yes lots and Jerry from Batande and hello jez I heading for Africa next Monday, which I booked a long time ago. No why I'm going to cancel. I hope you don't miss me. We

The highly successful Kids Sport program has been enhanced by the Cook government. We've now enhanced it to five hundred dollars. We want more and more children young people to be accessing community sport.

And to be able to do that affordably.

That's why we have seen the two thousand more participants in the Kids Sport program since last year. But I want to as Sports Minister, to grow that even more because we know how much benefit it is both mentally and physically for those children young people to be participants.

All right, So the state budget of last week has has quietly reduced the amount back down to to is it two hundred or three hundred sree from five hundred dollars to three dollars, so we've been making some calls today. This program has been in effect since twenty eleven, came in under the Barnet government. It's long been successful. One hundred and thirty thousand kids, two hundred and fifty thousand vouchers. The biggest recipients of the sports are the codes, football, netball, gymnastics.

Hi Simony, how are you?

Yeah?

Well thanks, So you're involved with rugby league netball.

Yeah so I've yeah, so I've got the Dunal Up Giants Rugby League club and I'm also triggning over at power Rose Netball Club.

Yep.

So look at just under one thousand members.

Yep, fifty junior teams in total. And do you you would no doubt see kids sport kids and kids sport families on your patch.

Oh, in fact, we really push for it. And I noticed you just said that the minister that like quietly came into a seat. I only literally found out about this probably ten minutes ago that it stopped from five hundred to three hundred. So that will, like it will impact quite a few of our people, I believe myself includers, I have a daughter who has some one diabetes, so she's in a health get card and she plays football and rugby league and that they're covered all of her fees.

So that's as an administrator, also as a mum, people might have to make a choice maybe between a summer and a winter sports or EISA.

Yeah, that's quite unfortunate because we do get a lot of people that do that that five hundred, like having that sort of amount. I mean, you're looking at nickball fees are up in the three hundreds, Rugby league fees are over at like about the two point fifty. I mean, you've got soccer's up in the sixteen one hundreds, and there's just no way families. I mean it's like, you know,

Yeah, we're not. And it's not a lot of dough THEREASA compared to a train line or you know some of the big infrastructure projects that we see. It's a twenty million dollar fund. It's been around since twenty eleven, and it's just it's a little mystifying why this has happened. In your role as an administrator, are there any other funds or any other ways that people can get some help.

Not really listen, we've got a couple of local politicians. If we get into a lot of trouble or not, not us as a club, but if we know some families that are really struggling, we can write an email and you know, some total help them out. But you know that's that's like one or two. We're talking hundreds of families within our my clubs spread along that will

It is now.

So yeah, it's only going to get worse for them.

And it seems more than passing strange that someone like yourself, who's a hot, pretty high profile in your own writing community sport, didn't know about this.

So you're question about this and I literally just reposted on our pages for the five hundred dollars, so I'll have to go and delete that without looking linked idiots.

Changed, Yeah, change the five from two or three areas. Thanks thanks for chatting to us today. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much your trees and Newton. So she Sports West who used to be the WA Sports Federation, hold a set of awards every year. It used to be called the anz Head Sports Star of the Year but it's still still the big award in Perth and Theresa was the Volunteer of the Year last year. So she looks after fifty junior teams. Heber kids and

You know the government they made some strange decisions. They spent thirty million dollars for BHP with Buyolan, which is now a shed in the Quanana strip that hasn't had anything done to it. That thirty million dollars would have paid for these children. And I wonder how much it's done because of political donations towards political parties where families seem to be hit. You know, is it strange that the Cook governments come in and they've just cut everything back.

Yeah, it's only twenty million dollars in total. This fun made and it's so important. Thank you, Tony. I'm not aware of that shed down in Quanana. Yeah, it's you know, we're talking community sport broadly. The federal governments and the Institute's support look after elite sport, as did the National codes government and local government look after community sports right. LG's provide the facilities and the state provides money through CSRFF and through Kids Sport, So people can play on them.

Mitchell Freeway southbound is still very much slow this morning from Vincent Street right back to Read Highway, so still avoid it if you can. Dealing with a crash on Great East and Highway westbound at Darlington Road in Darlington. The left land has been closed by the Internet Response Team. Emergency services are on side.

Traffic is very heavy back to Scott Street.

There in better news that crash cleared from Read Highway eastbounder after beach Borough Road at Northern beach Borough Traffic flowing okay. Likewise, crash cleared Fitzgerald's Street north about at Newcastle's Treating in West Perth. I'm step Clark on Perth Traffic Leader six PR.

Thanks your thoughts today, Veronica says, Hello, Veronica, She says, really cut two sports assistants. They've also cut the support for the vax Swim subsidy. Glad you're back on air. Thank you, Veronica. That's nice. I didn't know that. I wasn't aware of that. We'll look into that. The vax Swim subsidy. Tony from Baldivers Hi Tony, Yes, I would if I could afford it, I would go back home to Croatia and enjoy the sun and the food. Graham says, are they robbing the kids in kids sport that they

No, simon, it's good to hear you back on the radio, mate, Thank you Gary. Mentally, I've got to readjust my brain or keep thinking it's sad day morning. No, I wouldn't get put this way off. Karl Mayland said, look, I'm going to take a fishing for wake up the broom and get some barrow. Already have to do is get on a plane. I'd just say, have a good time.

Come.

No planes for you, guys, No.

No way in the world. Mate's it's not natural.

How do they stay up? How do they get up in the air? Thanks, guess how do they get up in the air? What are those big ships? Out in gage Ros. Why don't they think? Thanks thanks Gary, covering some basic physics here on the show this morning, Car got its Road Sadly eight thirty years today morning a commuter vehicle, a passenger vehicle involved in a praying with a big truck with it. We think it was a sound truck and sadly someone has lost their life in

Hi Simon, thanks for the call.

No worries. Sad situation, isn't it?

Oh?

Absolutely, And firstly, our deeper sympathies to all of those that are involved in yesterday accident. Ultimately, there's a family and friend group today that are grieving a lost one and you know two people who have also been injured as well as our local you know, people our local community are the first responders. You know, they go through a lot with these sorts of accidents as well, so my thoughts go to them.

I've spoken to the boss, I've spoken to Rob Coles before about Cargottage Road. It's only getting busy, isn't it. The Tonquin Highway extension, the amount of housing in the area, the amount of industry in the area is just getting busier. And the issue, the safety issue is just not going away, is it.

No, it certainly isn't. Car got Itch Road has been one that's been on our radar for some time. We've just finished eight million dollars worth of eighth grades to an area of Cargottage Road. Unfortunately, that doesn't cover this intersection. The intersection of concern is on car Gottage in Gossage Road and there is plans for a roundabout to go there. That's a four point eight million dollar cost for that roundabout and looking at it as much as a priority as we can keep in mind of it to build

A Tricia, You're not the only shy that is asking for help in this area, politely asking for more money from the state. There's only something much of the shot. It is your road isn't it's a local road, but you do need some more dough from the state for roads like car God.

It's right, yeah, and we're eternally grateful to the state government because not the election just gone, but the election before that, we were given eighteen million dollars towards our local roads and that has had an impact. It has had some improvement and in this last election there's been seventeen million dollars, so we look forward to working with those funds. We have got a lot of our interfections and upgrades have already been designed, they're already been planned.

Yeah, all right, Tris, thanks for talking to us today. And as we say that, we were a sad day yesterday eight thirty in the morning where you know where someone who stood should still be with us is not and that's a that's a desperately sad situation. Appreciate your time today.

Trish, that's a pleasure, simon.

Trish Dugan and Deputy President of the Shire of sj Serpentine Jaredale. And there are you know, a lot a lot of these outer city or outer metro perry urban whatever we call them. These shires do have these types of roads. They are high speed local roads and they time and time again they figure in serious accidents and in this case of fatality, one of our listeners has said, you know that that is a dangerous intersection, the Gossage

Good Avon ah Hi Simon.

On the corner of Abernathy Road and Hopkinson Road, there's a stop sign on Abernatty Road. That's the main road that runs through Byford and the highway. They have at least twice a week somebody goes through the rails there there's a crash because nobody stops at the stop sign.

They all roll through.

You could have a policeman sit there and he'd find every second car.

Yeah, that's how bad.

And the next street up on the Courtor people have died there. There's two or three crosses there.

The next road.

There's two or three crosses over the last few years. So this is just because people do not stop at the stop signs. And the roads are terrible because they're all made for farming areas. This has used to be a farming area, so you've got acreages here and the roads are just so narrow, and the truck my god, there's one hundreds of them.

Yeah, all right, thanks Yvonne. Your point well made about driver behavior. We're just getting We're getting a lot of correspondence on that. People just need to pay attention to slow down, for tell, every now day now driving people crazy or driving is getting crazy. Thanks Brian Roads, you know, and I think importantly if we just take a breath, Heaven's right. These are little farming roads. They narrow, the surfaces aren't great, they don't have rumble strips. I got

They Jack morning train? How are you mate?

Good mate?

Look without in car Gottage Road. I think what the government needs to do, and it's the most safest obvious logical manner in which to address this issue is that the government implement a system where anyone who uses car Gottage Road can only do so when their vehicle is limited to fifty kilometers an hour, and any vehicle capable of going faster than fifty kilometers per hour will be purchased back by the government, and all users of Cargodige

Shane, thanks Jack, Shane. Something I think Jack's joking is me the it is a very popular and busy road. It's not our run, it's and it's a long It's a long road too, goes tom Thomas Road right through to Managohn Road, did I Ken.

How are you now?

As you just said it goes to Thomas Road. I used to train horses just out of the manager at Barrago, and when we're going to gloss the park, we used to go that way because the freeway in there and everything else was.

Too busy.

Plus there's no pops on that road and they sitting.

On the hundred.

We can turn one hundred and twenty.

But it goes all the way to.

To the back of.

Ravenswood Okay Hotel near Pinjari. Yeah okay, and.

So you finishes it more or less than dumb there. But that's the way we used to go going across the park, which is the seat of going up the pre way or.

Yeah, yeah, thanks Ken, cheers. It is a very busy road and a long road too, right, So we're not going to limit cast to fifty k's now on it because and it's a thoroughfare. It's a genuine thoroughfare. One double three eighty two. Thank you, Ken, Thanks for calling in quarters to ten back in a sec. I'd love to hear from you. Give us a call one double three eight eighty two. Our caller of the day price today is a ripper a double pass to LightScape up

It's pretty quiet here this morning. We were on alert seventy thirty last night, watch sirens that sort of thing.

That is.

I wa'ts that good bar in Bahrain. There was a lot of reports coming through that there were missiles. My wife and I went up on the roof. Were got a villa and a flat roof, so we went up on the villa and we're looking out over the coast towards I ran that couldn't see anything but a lot of flights getting diverted from Goha came into the Bahrain

Yeah for sure. So when you say you're you're hearing stuff on and reading stuff on WhatsApp about what was potentially happening, but you couldn't actually see anything from where you were, not from the roof.

All we could see all the planes coming right near the coast, not far from the airport, but where about I suppose one hundred k's direct line from where we lived to Doha, and we couldn't see anything in that direction, but pretty dark.

On holiday ray.

Now I live over here, just about to to see if the bridge is open. There's reports that I work in Saudi so that there's reports that the causeway was closed last night, So see if I can get to work this morning.

Yeah, all right, And how's the how's the vibe, how are you feeling?

Well?

I've put my wife out. She was supposed to fly tonight to Doha, so I don't know if that's going to happen. She's going to head back to Perth. But it's it's okay over here. There's no no dramas. It's it's just a precautionary if I get caught in Saudi Lot during COVID. I was over there for over eight months and she's over here. It's it's a bit of a long period to be by yourself.

And where do you ray Where do you get your best and most accurate information from? Is it from for the from the company you work for? Where where do you get the most up to date info so you know what's going on?

It's it's probably the BBC, which is not always accurate as the A d C. I suppose what'sapp you know, listening the people. And then there's one guy and he's in Goa at the moment, even on his way back to back to Queensland last night and he's been on there and he was actually listening to it all happened last night.

Yuh.

He's right at the air boo because he's the new ad air bases right next to the airport basically, so you get it true what'sapp.

And that sort of thing.

Is that watch it because it's.

The news here in Arabic right casting your mind back to the weekend when the US struck in Tehran and in Iran at those nuclear facilities. Were you aware of that happening then? And could you see anything then?

Uh, we couldn't see anything. There's little we were aware of it. The government puts out a lot of alerts. If you've got to, you've got a barrow and prone. So my wife we were getting shoulder in place at alerts last night, through through what'sapp, through text messages and that sort of thing. So yeah, we the government does keep us up to date. Yeah, it's Look, the thing is, it's pretty calm here, but you just got to be at work, just going to make sure you're okay.

Yeah, all right, Well, my best of luck to you and your wife and your family, and I appreciate you having a chat to us today.

Take care, Hey, Dramas all the best, Ben Simone.

Mate Ray and Bahrain listening today. Dean Long is the CEO of the Australian Travel Industry Association joins us. Now get Aden, good to talk to you. Sorry for sorry for the delay in getting to you. Just need to have a little chat to Ray. And I guess it's it's almost a day to day proposition for travelers and for expats who are working, isn't it, Dean? What's what are you hearing and what's your advice to people listening today?

Look, there's no doubt we're in a highly disrupted environment. I think it's changing, not even day to day, but it's almost hour to hour on where we're at. But I think, I think if we can just address those people that are flying out of perfect night and are worried about what's going on with their cat flights or their Emirate flights and what that looks like that if your flight is canceled, your travel agent or your airline will be in contact with you today to reorganize your

Yeah, I've doing very good advice, make very practical and yeah, just yeah, you're right. We learned from COVID that cancelations need your cancelations are not not the way to go right.

Absolutely, and that's look and I think we've got to be We've learned a lot through COVID As an aviation and travel ecosystem. We want to be there to support everybody that goes through through there. What we are hearing a lot from people is is nervousness about traveling through the Middle East and how you're going to get stuck somewhere. You can be rest assured that the safety that the airlines are putting into place, that's the number one priority.

And get home.

So people the airlines are putting safety at the top of their priority list as they always do, and what that means is is that there might be a little bit longer at at airports, so there might be a few delays. Make sure your phone is charged up, make sure you've got a few lollies and get through. And if you are traveling, just be conscious that it is a highly disrupted environment at the moment, but everyone's doing their best.

Yep right, Dean, thank you for chatting to us here in Perth. Jeers mate, great to be with you. Thank you. Dean Along, the CEO of Australian Travel Industry Association. Would you jump on a plane at the moment? The yes is a sixteen, the nose are eight and a lot of correspondents still coming in but need to talk about on the show Parky will join us after ten o'clock. Early Days as a Copper trouble in Paradise, trouble out in Labourton and Parky was there at ground zero. We'll

Morning, Simon, how are you? I'm very very well. Yes, I had a bit of a scale last year with the Melonimer and I just had my three monthly check up this morning and I'm all good. So the party's ready to go.

Watch out, I mate.

It was nineteen seventy six when you did graduate from the Mainland's Police Academy January, and then November seventy eight you find yourself out in the bush. Tell us about the work remote Warburton Rangers Aboriginal community.

Yes, well, Warburton Rangers. The community back in those days was pretty basic. A stop off point obviously on the Great Central Road for travel, which was totally unsealed for travelers going through there, plus there was also a mission and indigenous community, and the significant part about that was the majority of the inhabitants were pure traditional Desert Aboriginals. They quite quite magnificent, actually, the self proclaimed desert Warriors, and none of us have argued with that, and I'm

So you go out in November there's been a barn and a bloke as has been stabbed parking.

Yeah, what happened Simon, It was about about three weeks. I got married on the sixteenth of December, so it was about I was just reminded by the boss then that it was two weeks before we got married. What happened there was at the community a bit of a fight between two fellas and one got stabbed behind the knee with the starf ticket and it caused a major trauam or two. He he bled out and died and the body was transferred to the local hospital. Now keep

So that ye, after a couple of days you go, you and a few others go up there.

Well we did. They send a detective senior sergeant up from Perth and myself and another detective from Kalgouley and keep in mind, on my ear the academy for probably just under two years, and the way we go when we get to Warburton Rangers at about midnight and we'll put in the compound overnight, ig at up about four o'clock in the morning, just to have a bit of a look, and was confronted with about forty to fifty armed Desert warriors as it were, and they were very

So they're mainly trying to stop you from finding the body, are they?

Yeah, they were. They had no issues with us looking for the offender. They had no problem because this guy wasn't from me, he was from the Blackstone Range community. They had no issues there. But we were very, very bluntly told to stay away.

It is.

Their secret men's business and that we would be desecrating all their traditions and they were prepared to fight to the hilt for that.

Yep.

So it was you know, I must say, you know, sometimes I see ad a bit blase on your show and others, but scared is not the word. But they're extremely apprehensive and quite simply if an old casion that happens on them, Well, we would not have we would not have got out of that very well at all. Yeah, you're in strife. We're in strite, mate.

Yeah.

Yeah. So you've got a little team there. You're in the compound and you've got thirty or forty fellas angry and menacing. But you sort of were able to proplicate the elders at the time. And still you've got this issue if you're looking for a body and an offender.

Exactly right on. So what we did were told of the offender had headed up towards the Blackstone Rangers. So Detective Senior Sergeant Bob Gray. Sadly Bobby passed away a few years back. He was very consolable because me being the junior kid there, you would have thought that my thoughts meant nothing, But I had the specific bush craft and whatever, and plus I could converse a little bit. So we actually told the elders at this point in

Yeah, Parky, will take a break. We'll come back and find out how this ends, because it involves, yes, you had those bush skills which you had picked up prior to being in the police, but also some of your famous negotiation skills were required. We'll come back and find out how this all ended. Parking and his mates are looking for an offender and they're looking for a body

Yeah, what happened, Simon, It was pretty good. Actually, there's a young fella there that I knew reasonably well, and I eventually got him around to not actually telling me where the body was, but pointing back down the Haverton Road, and he just said that way and took off. So what we did is we because we'd come in at dark, we hadn't seen any tracks off the side of the main road. So I said to the guys, look, let's head out there and see what we can see. So

And so you still don't want the local bloods to know you found it.

No way, We've been warned before the young fellow told me which way to go. We've been warned there was and these people had firearms on them in the vehicles and they made a big display of having them, so you know, it was it was a serious series threat. So anyhow, what happened when I left the guys to the grave site. The boss said, look, mate, we've got to We've got to get the deceased out of that grave. So that was my job, and it was interesting the

Yeah okay, so yeah it's end.

This made me senses with a lot of people, but you know, as it was, this is how it happened in those days and had to be done for a successful prosecution.

So so and it's still it's a scene of a crime and you're you're there, but you still don't want the locals to know you're there, So you're you're there packing your backs that these guys are going to come out and find you because you're still outnumbered and they still got the guns.

Yeah, yeah, we actually had one guy on. You know, there's a bit of a sent hill there on there to look for dust and vehicle sounds and whatever. So anyhow, it was about seven foot deep the hole and by the time I got to the bottom, I'm in the hole and I'm six foot one, and I managed to lift this poor fellow out and they helped me out of the grave, and then the doctor did a grave side post mortem which we photographed and took evidence, and then I must distressed in everyone up there. It was

Was there any and I think any reprisals, recurronations around the cultural stuff parking.

And there was a bit simon. There was a little bit because what happened for those who will remember three years before, in late December seventy four early January seventy five, there was a massive big let's call it a Blue parties terms in labor and at Skull Creek, which resulted in the Royal Commission, and both sides of both sides, police government and indigenous side didn't come out of it too well. And there's a number of reasons for that.

I continue, Big four days, Big four days in the light Labor.

It was. It was, yeah, it was. Even my wife's wife is the other day. You know, I don't know if she's joking or not. She said, you know, they should have left your forty eight years she said. Sometimes she said, what if I always had these What if I thought I was a decent black, but I thought I had married.

In that whole.

That's right, you know. You know something said in jest.

Yes.

All that's yeah, Jesus, that's it says a bit about Galen about you, I think. Hey, mate, thanks for the chat, look forward to changing as always fascinating, amazing at a different time and well dome to you mate, Thank you for coming on today. Thanks for True Detective today.

Thanks mate, See mate.

They pargains and in the bottom of a hole, yeah, you know, sort of not letting the locals know that they were there, but following through with what was then accepted police procedures of the day. Amazing. He's amazing, Blake, isn't he. He'll be back in a fortnight's time with True Detective. Thanks for listening and it is help us ten exactly, just gone holp us ten.

Talked about product stewardship on the show last week. When we're talking about containers for change, A lot of our listeners do use a C for sea. They love it win win for families, kids, charities and for the environment. And one of the chats we had in there was about product stewardships, So things like mattresses, tires, lithium batches and the like, should we pay a bit more for them at point of sale so they're properly recycled the end of life, we'll go to a major tie of

You know?

Buy just annoys me because you know we need kids to play sport and get off their devices and stuff. And we've got the Bullbrook Place up there with five hundred beds sitting there empty and they just throw money into that to maintain it. And then we're going to get money to have kids run around doing what they want to do, you know, and parents are struggling. It just dis annoys me.

Essel about the priority of government spending Mitch.

Yeah, absolutely, man. I mean, like you know that thing sitting up there with five hundred beds and now I was living in up We got homeless, We got all this, and I think it's costen was at thirty thousand dollars a day or a week or something like that to maintainer with security, ours and that. And then but you know, in fifteen twenty years time, you know, if kids playing sport whatever else because parents can't afford it. You know, where do IFL players come from? Where do our soccer

Like you know, obviously with the.

Roads and you know there's well known boies. Yeah, you know that that thing sitting up there like a ghost town. It just just frustrating, and you know, we want wanted kids to play sport and whatever else. And you know obesity and all that sort of stuff, and then there's money at that thing.

It is mystifying mate, no doubt. It's an incredibly successful program, has been around since twenty eleven and it's it is And yeah, it's not a it's not a great look. I've got to say after the after the budget, when we've got a net debt but an operating surplus. Thanks Mitch in the running for quarter that I really appreciate your time. As I say, we spoke about product stewardship

Now, good a Lee Simon, how are you?

Yeah, good mate. So this was a fact. This was just a tire business, wasn't It started at eighty four supplier of tires. But over the years you've turned your mind to recycling, particularly for major fleet vehicles.

Yeah.

Look, our story started. We used to once upon a time import tires in the early eighties and as time has transpired, we've gone from selling tires to supplying them, repairing them and servicing them throughout their life, and more recently the natural progression has been to recite those ties.

Yeah, amazing. Hey, so with the and I guess it's a it's a there's no shortage of tires that need to be either recycled or properly recycled so that don't en up in landfill.

I guess absolutely. I think as a society we probably need to look again at what we actually think is waste, and often within those within those years tires, there's a commodity that we can recycle and reuse. And in our case, we're going to start re manufacturing some rubber products from those years tires and giving them a second and third life.

Have you got capacity there, Lee? How big is your place?

We've got a fairly large scale site. We can process up to sixty thousand tons of end of life tires, which is quite a material amount.

Yeah, over what period?

Well that's sort of our annual nameplace capacity.

In sixty thousand? Wow? Is it every day tires? Like I've gone mine? Monda or are you talking to a big hallpack North?

We're really fortunate. We've taken some of our learning from from the tire industry and apply them to this project. We can recycle all sized tires from your small lawn and garden tires right through to the world's largest sixty three inch rim diamond of mining ties that we've see in the mind sights.

Yeah, well that's incredible. Is it a what's the sort of the process itself? How does it work? Is it? Is it labor intensive, power intensative intensive? How does that? What does it actually look like on site?

Well, we have we have effectively a shredding operation where we shred the tires down and get to a to a powder, a granulate that we use for other products and gets.

Used in some.

Road reservice and ash fhalt applications, or we make it into some high value matting and acoustic underlay and things like that, and we extract the steel which gets immediately recycled and reused high tensile steel.

Yeah, okay, Well, I am aware that it is used in road services because I've had a bit of local governments. Is it called crumb crumbed?

Yeah, crumb or granulate gets gets mixed in with the ashphalt and as a bit of a binder substitute and then gets either sprayed or laid on the roads. Yes, there's the top coat provides a better, longer lasting product and it's better rope. That's good use of.

The product for sure. And playgrounds and the like as well.

Yeah, playground soft full flooring, some sort of equine surfacing, gym matting, acoustic underlay matting. Yeah, a whole range of of products that were once made out of virgin rubber can now be made out of out of recycle types.

Yeah. Yeah, it's cool. Talking to Lee Committee, managing director of CTS Tire Recycling. They're up up in nearby Lee. Is it there other facilities like yours around? Is yours a bit of a pioneer set up? Pioneering?

Look, we've got some other other friends in the industry, but we're the only people that can that can manufacture and actually turn that commodity into something in Perth and made in Western Australia, which is quite exciting when a very unique physician there to be able to do that.

Yeah, that's cool. How are you funded? So the people who provide the ties to you pay a fee and then the people who buy product off, you would pay a price for that. Is there any government funding coming in from the feeds of the state.

Yeah, that's right, Simon. We've been very fortunate that we've had two rounds of grant funding from the state and federal governments Recycling Modernization Fund which has been very helpful, and the w A state government have been hugely supportive in our project. But in order to be viable, yes, there is a cost associated with disposal of the waste time, and then obviously we make some products that have some values for resale at the other.

End, Lee, what are you? Are you an engineer or a chemist? What's your background?

I'm neither of those.

I'm a businessman.

Unfortunately, I'm a tie guy that's managed to get into a bit of business management and having a go at changing the world here.

So we all need a tie guy in our life or a tie girl in our life. Lead, no doubt about it. Amazing that this is in operation and I didn't know about it. What did you think? What do you think of this notion? Leader? I just us at a basic level last week. So Mattress's tires, Lithium batchies, for example, are often products that local government talk about you know, you need to pay a bit more for them at life, at point of sale when you first

Well, Simon, that's very very interesting from our point of view, or everyone's point of view. Largely, the consumers are doing the right thing. We've got mums and dads and families that are paying for tire recycling as part of their tire replacement cost if you like, it's embedded in the cost. We've got collection and recovery rates that are very high, in the high ninety percent. We're doing a wonderful job. Everybody's doing the right thing there, and I think that's

Yeah, well slowly changing.

Yeah, I had no idea, hay Lee, Really good to talk to you. Thanks, makee good luck with it. What's the so if my tie guys they would be they would know about you, and my ties could end up at your joint.

Absolutely we look forward to giving them a second life and turning them into something else.

On it a road or a playground.

Absolutely sporting field moment.

Yeah, hey, thanks Lee, Really good to chat here.

Cheers, Thanks Simon, take care.

Mate, Lee. Comedy tie guy turned businessman. And that's up in nearerbup And they're recycling passenger vehicle tires, turning them into road services, acoustic underlay, lots of different uses for them, which is cool, state and federally supported, but still a long way to go with the OTR, the big mining trucks, the big farm trucks, the big trucks in general. Interesting, Hey, sixteen minutes to eleven, Lee, Comedti Managing director CTS Tie

What simon?

Here go mate?

Good mate tires?

Yeah?

Good just comment mate? Yeah, Lee, what are an intelligence blake?

That is?

And well done Lee for what.

You're doing for the environment.

Fantastic. Just wondering if you mentioned how long it took for a tie to break down and landfill? Happy years? Not too sure, but my dad used to turn him inside out back of the day with the rib on them and make hop plan holders out of them.

Anyone remembers that.

It's colorful hop plant holders. Yeah, and they lasted for years, but they're still lasting.

That's twenty years ago, you know, yeah, going, well, how long has the Springfield ti fi have been going for in the Simpsons? That's like, yeah, thirty years, thirty years?

Yeah? Wow?

Yeah, thank you Jeff? Well, I mate, Yeah, I had no idea and I am very aware that there's there's been a push to try and you know, for all of us to pay a little bit more for a mattress or something that's got a lithium battery in it, or pay a bit more for a tie. And it sounds like the type that has been done with ty. It's called product stewardship. So Iran's foreign minister has spoken

What we hope is that a more secure position, a cease fire will ensure that people don't fail the need to get to safety. In addition to that, there's been major disruption of commercial airlines because of what has happened in Qatar, but also disruption to international aviation including not just the Middle Eastern hubs but also quant has been

And the national terror threat level is that under review.

Well, even we're here this talk about sleeper cells in the US, is this something you'll bringing on.

It is constantly monitored, but there's been no change in the national security alert. We continue to have our national security agencies to monitor the situation.

Bry Mister Anthony Alberanzi speaking to Kieran Gilbert from Sky News earlier this hour, would you yes, no poull today? Would you jump on a plane at the moment particularly was heading through the area of the Middle East. The yes is twenty eight and the nose are eighteen. Thanks for listening in today. We're It's a story we've covered a fair few times here on the on the on the station, and here on the on this program and

Hi both thanks, no worries.

It's not great for Kay and the team, is it?

Unfortunately no, and it's getting worse because every time she has to appear in court, the fund, the fees go up to the lawyers and no money forthcoming. I need to collect her there as well. Cash Peterson and Higgs did not bank up themselves. Ka actually have to go to court to bank rup them.

Okay, gotcha, yep, yep, Sure I get the sequence there, Dave. On the bottom line, the outcome there is is Kay will struggle to get money from Peterson and Higgs.

Well, the trustees have been checking it and so far it looks like all those rush accounts that were there during the trial have suddenly gone back to the U yep.

Yeah, which is and we need to be a little bit careful about how we describe that. But we you know, we were aware from earlier reporting that she did have revenue sources and income sources. So we're not quite sure what has happened there, David, in the absence of not being able to speak to Ka today, how is the clinic going? I was aware and talked to her last time she'd been targeted, fake bookings, people not turning up bad reviews from Tasha's crew. Is that still happening? Do you know?

There are some bad reviews that appear from there there every now and then. She seems to be doing well at the moment and meeting her targets financially, but this debt that she's now got with the lawyers is really sitting on her. It's fast approaching half a million dollar dollars.

Yeah.

Well, yeah, you know, Tash Tash and the crew moving mysterious ways, don't they, David. This has been unrelenting your tax on you know, a neighborhood, that clinic, which is a you know, let's go back to that that's the that's the most gaoling a small neighborhood.

That clinic owner operated with one extra bed there and they just can't afford to have an overhead of half a million dollars there.

David, if you had your time again, and if Kay had her time again, which she may be, not take action against Tash and he didn't.

Want to in the first place. She was basically persuaded as to do so, right by who, by her former husband.

Okay, all right, So that's that's another another part of the of the issue, isn't it?

It is unfortunately is here?

David? I mean, I know you reached out to the program you can keen to get more coverage of this issue, and we have always done our part where we could. It's a yes, it's an awful situation. I used to live close to that vet clinic mate, and I know the area really well. It's you know, she's just driven past it and seen some cash and seeing something she didn't like and come back the next day and started yelling and carrying on.

Hey, she did carry on like a poor pie.

Is it? What can we do?

David?

Part of the broadcasting arrangements with us is we can't actively source any crowdfunding or any of that kind of thing, But what what can our listeners do and what can you know, what can we do? What can the community do?

Well?

Personally, I would like to see someone like the current affair get hold of the issue. I mean, it's it's not just Kase that's effective. There two or three other people who are going through similar actions at the moment, and they're going to end up exactly the same that Peterson is going to get away with this time and time again, and the people that have taken a court are missing out. The only ones benefiting seemed to be the lawyers.

There's no option for Kay's lawyers to reduce the cost.

Well, we're hoping that's going to happen that even so, it's still a lot of money that she's looking at. I mean, she was awarded three hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars and that barely covered the costs at that date. It's going to be worse now because there's been fees since that day.

Yeah, all right, David, sounds like it's a bit going on there in the shop. So I'll let you go just in case, but we will stay on. We will stay on a David, thank you for staying in contact with us. If anyone has any ideas. I have got a little bit of correspondence coming through in our text line. You know, people live in the area, soy, we'll take our pets over there and try and support the business and that that might be one way to help her through.

Hey, that is one way.

But I would just hope that there be someone out there that he might be able to help Ka financially. Even a smaller amount would help because she is struggling to keep the business on a float and it's only going to get worse as the fees go up.

Yeah, all right, David, thank you for looking after and thanks for chatting to us on six PR. Dave's gone. Dave's gone. He's gone, hasn'ty, Jimmy, he's gone yet? Yeah, all right, David Macintosh. So Dave doesn't live in Perth. Thesek's dad. He's in regular contact with us here at the program, So you know, it's all right, it's fair and reasonable proper to have a chat about, you know, about some of the issues that task goes on about about the amount of meat we eat and how we

You know.

That's that's the way, isn't it. That's that's the business of running a defamation legal firm. Small businesses continue to struggle with Peterson, forcing their financially in the hound in the courts, despite having defamation wins. It's quarter past eleven. Thanks for listening in. That's very frustrating, isn't it Just keeps getting away with it somehow continues to be able to make a living doing what she does. But he's able to get a get away with not paying defamation costs. Credible,

Sue Hi sonon, Hello, se, how are you sorry?

Very well?

Just bringing up about the kids sport. Personally, I don't have any children, but you know, from someone who's played sport my whole life, it just infuriates me that they're trying to save twenty million dollars by cutting SI sport to so many kids that are vulnerable when over the if they look over the course of the next five to ten years, when they don't have access to sport, the amount they're going to have to spend on their mental health due to just sitting on their phones and

Yeah, it seems that simple, doesn't it, Sue. It's that we know the trade off. If you played sport all your life, you know what it does for your health, your mental health, all of that keeps you out of hospital, all of that. And yet it's a mysterious decision, this one, isn't it.

It is beyond you know, it's just not fathomable. Don't understand. And Rita herself, she's got kids, so you think of someone who loves sport as much as she does, you'd be encouraging every single opportunity possible, you know. Personally, I just think all sports should be accessible.

So what what sport are you playing?

Still was iron Man for years, but just cycling these days.

Yeah.

Okay, so not all not all kids sports are kids sport kids go on to be stars, but they do play community sport. But there's a good there's a player who plays for the West Coast Fever, for the netball team, a gun netball team Sunday, a Yang Sundays. She plays in Australian Diamonds. She plays for Australia. She's played thirty she got thirty four test gaps. She is a kid sport kid. Yes, so she went Midvale, didn't have battler family.

You're right, And as say, not all of them will end up in her position, but imagine where she potentially could have ended up without that opportunity. Yeah, yeah too, right, So yeah, what makes interior?

Yeah me too, thanks Sue. It's a it's a baffling decision, it really is. So from a treasurer who understands community sport, it has been, you know, up to date, a pretty good minister. We we might replay either some of Dave Templeman's comments from August of last year when he was cocker hoop about making the amount. So this is about the kids Sport voucher amount reducing from five hundred to three hundred, and what the government is saying is that

I have.

I've had to make some financial decisions, and one of those is moving back in with mum and dad. Moving back in with Mum and Dad and Mom. I know Mom especially loves listening to the program. She loves you, so I know that she'll be listening now.

Mom. Actually I'm the new roommate.

I'm the new cool, young hip roommate that's moved into to join.

Him on all right, And I'm glad your mum is listening because we've managed to get her over from another radio station. It does remind me of George Costanza A little bit of this here.

I made some bologney sandwiches.

Baloney, nobody eats bologny anymore.

What are you talking about?

Have a sandwich? Stop it?

You don't want one?

Claimer, no thanks.

I think you're all a little touched in the head.

I'm so worried about your health, your young men.

I really don't need it.

What am I going to do with all these sandwiches?

Missus Constanza? So now, and I know your mummy is listening, so I'm on notice here as well. What time did you attempt to have dinner last night?

Well?

Yes, so we have a few I wouldn't call them arguments, per se. It doesn't get to that stage. But i'd certainly question her as to the time of dinner. She said, I'm cooking. I'm going to cook dinner. It's going to be lovely spaghetti bolonnaise, which is amazing. She'd put some garlict. She did burn the garlic bread. Came back to the house and the smoke and larm was going bonkers. But she said, make sure you're home by back quarter past five?

So what what four having on treys? So we having? We're catching up before dinner daytime?

She goes, no, No, I think I think we'll be plating up at about five thirty, plating up.

We eat dinner in front of the TV. Mum.

But it was five thirty strict time, and it was. We still made five thirty, and in fact, I think it was a bit earlier. Even even though Mom had to duck away and find another garlic bread sauce.

We still got there all right five point thirty for dinner. Too early.

And she always she says, oh, you're very fussy about my cooking, or you're very fussy with what you eat. And I'm not fussy. I'm not She just Mom loves to do the good food's a bit like the baloney sound shes. She likes to put on the plate some chicken nuggets, some potato and look, I'm not an athlete, but I don't always want to have potato gems for dinner.

I reckon, if I were you, I would I would have done that last thirty seconds a bit different.

But it's like the blowing swages. Maybe I'm touching the habit. And she will say, oh, you're still young and active, you need to it's okay, whereas my dad's like my dad will look me straight in the eye and goes, your metabolism will foil, young day boy, and then you'll be in a lot of trouble.

Yeah, all right, stop talking, okay, five thirty Shawn, And look, yeah, what type of people have dinner? Seven? Isn't it seventy seven?

We used to when we were normal, between six and six thirty, when you were normal. Yeah, but now it's just too early. I think it's so mum can relax and not have to worry about it.

Too late. But I think seven is a normal time, is it?

Yeh?

Does your dad cook?

No?

It's a hard no, isn't it? Sorry? She wants to move back home with his folks, back to Boloney Sandwichville and has been eating at five thirty. What time do you have dinner? Folks? One double three eight eighty two.

Hello Michael, Yeah mate, how are you good? Thank you mate?

We're going about this bit clinic and the smart lawyer they had. Why didn't the smart layer ask for security your costs before he started the case? I sued, someone try to sue me, and I said, you have no trouble. I said, we don't cost fifty grand. There's mark fifty grand in the courts. Put your fifty grand up. If you can't put the fifty grand up, well you haven't you you know you can't sue me. Basically, but just said.

That he put it up or shut up.

They didn't put it up and.

They went away in the absence of ning Michael, I reckon a defamation trial involving someone like Tash and her legal team would be it'd be a moving feast and would move around all the time, So you just need to need to keep appearing or keep preparing information. I would have thought. I think that's sort of my understanding of it. It is it's an expensive process defamation, so we feel for Kay Macintosh. Let's not forget how this started.

Hey, hey, hey, Simon, Yeah yeah, five thirty is a bit early even for me. We normally eat about six thirty. I've got got three adult children and by the time my oldest skits home from teaching, it's probably about six thirty seven o'clock.

Yeah all right, that's still pretty early, isn't it.

What six thirty.

Yeah, yeah, they're still early. That's but that's that suits your family.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. I mean by the time you yeah, you finished in at seven and wash up at seven thirty. You want to you want to be sitting down in front of a TV by seven thirty surely?

Yeah, yeah, no doubt so, thank you mate. Dinner time, Karen says. Tea time, six thirty to seven is a good time, says Karen. Thank you, Karen. So, Karen, you're with Zeno seven pm, says Cake, trying to tune into half an hour of communist TV news. Okay, that's funny. Gary says. Sean is sponging off his mum and complaining what that mom needs to throw him out, says Gary. Mum's getting in a cookbook t hr o w gaz. Mum's getting the cookbook for his birthday, says Lee. Thanks

Hi? How's it going?

Boie?

Well?

Thank you.

I usually have dinner between four thirty and.

Five o'clock PM.

Yeah, because then I allowed a free to digest and then you know, watch today boy something on my phone and then ragabad that's probably around eight o'clock.

You are just one one big party, an't you? Chantell four thirty five? Shantell four thirty five as too early that dinner. I know there's probably digestive, some digestive science behind all that. Would you jump on a plane at the moment? The yes there thirty two that knows are twenty one. I had quite a bit of correspondence on this people coming in to us, and thanks to all those people, let us know that at eleven o'clock that plane that had returned on the flight to Paris did

Reports of a crash grad He's in highway eastbound at Lion Street in Soyer's Valley.

Emergency services are on side.

Trafficers have very heavy on approach, so avoid the area and seek on alternative route if possible. The Mete, Kanana and Graham Farmer Freeway is all traveling well this morning, moving well in both directions of the tunnel and a good running in and out of the CBD. I'mstep Clark on Perth Traffic Leader six PR.

Darren says, Hi, Simon, where is Sean going? Darren? He's going to prison for a little while. He's going to Hey, you know he's he's going to Channel nine to further his on camera sports career, which we are fully supportive of. We're going to miss him. This one here from Christine. A couple of kisses. Thanks Christine. Always like the kisses. Christine. No, I'm not flying. We'll put you down as a no. We hit at seven thirty or later. Then when the

Hu.

He doesn't have a lot of Money's trying to mind his petties, but sometimes he finds himself a happy hour during the week. TJ. Toddy Boy, Hello mate, Bowie Dinners at seven pm, usually at the Johnston Ranch, and I would travel. I'd also happily buy Tash Pitts no one way ticket to Iran, says TJ. TJ. I think you're playing at the Mac Club on Saturday, aren't you. Brenda says the shanker stands departure, meaning Seb is getting a promo to producer. And I think I think Seb's gown

There you go.

Simon here, you're going good mate a Simon when you're talking about these kids sports. This crossed my mind at the last state election. It's quite amazing how things happened when the state election on, how they promised everything and then after the elections they take everything right. But anyway, at the election booth, we happen to bump into the Member for mandra Now who got elected in Brick Williams yep ye, and Tampa was alongside him with him.

Right.

We asked him on their big placard on the fence, austray and Labor part State Labor, whatever, we're going to spend twenty million dollars on MANDRA netball, right. Anyway, we asked and we questioned Reyes Williams, and we said to him, okay, Ree, where's the step forward facility is going to be just twenty million?

Right?

And he come back and he said, We've got two places in mind, but he says I can't disclose them because that's confidential, right, And I thought, there we go, could be another third to be like Themandra Hospital. But anyway to go on, Simon, it's really not fair because a lot of families and Amanda are struggling. We've got

You're with me, Yeah, so what's happened with what's happened with the netball for Siddley? Have you heard any more?

No?

Nothing we see I've seen some advertising at least the mondays we're paid saying that, oh yeah we're twenty million netbore twenty million. But no one knows where it is. No one knows what's going on. No one knows when it's going to be started or when it's going to be finished.

Yeah right, we'll have a look. I mean he romped in, Rich Williams romped in and was anointed by by Dave Templeman. They're both very popular members, no doubt about it. Reached the former mayor of Mandra. I hadn't heard that one about the netball quartal. I'll look into it, Brad, and I appreciate your thoughts on kids sport and we were a little baffle on this one. It's the voucher value has gone from five hundred bucks to three hundred. I think essentially that will mean kids will be abut to

Mornings? Iven't I'm very.

Well and how are we traveling? How are Virgin Australia going?

Yeah, they're back on the ASX again. It was COVID nineteen that's felled the end the first time for Virgin. Back in twenty twenty, people stopped flying. The airline went into administration because they were drowning in the sea of debt that they couldn't repay, and sensing an opportunity, the US private equity group Bain Capital came in and bought

Eight seven seven to on the all odds index. Thank you on chatchy tomorrow. I have a good day.

We'll do cheers both.

Thank you mate. Nineteen minutes to sorry, eighteen minutes to midday, thanks for listening. In Rita Safiotti, who is the Sports and Recreation Minister, among other things, Treasurer transport. All of that she was asked today as she went into Parliament, she was asked by Pazza Jeff Paza the topic of the day. Pazza asked Rita about kids sport vouchers. Why they gone from five hundred dollars to three hundred dollars per voucher. Paz to Rita, oh no, we've.

Increased to three hundred dollars. The five hundred dollar was a one off, one year impact. So kidsport started at one hundred and fifty dollars a couple of years ago.

It's grown to now our commitment to three hundred dollars going forward.

And the other point is we've done it.

We did an assessment of the average spend of a kid sport voucher and that was two hundred and fifty dollars, so we have more than covered the average cost of the average spend from Kidsport. On top of that, sorry, we're also of course rolling at the student assistance payments.

Yesterday the Premier release the figures.

They're still around twenty three percent of Metro families who haven't claimed, and also about twenty nine percent of regional families that haven't claimed.

So we encourage everyone to claim their student assistance payment.

A cynic would say though that there was a pre election suiteener and now that you've won the election, you've stripped it back by two hundred dollars.

We've got a range range of initiatives.

In fact, this was the Kids Sport commitment was a new commitment in the budget.

It's something that we added to the budget. So the budget had it going back.

To one hundred and fifty dollars, so we made sure we kept it at three hundred dollars.

As I said, this additional money we put into the budget.

We've expanded it also to the Scouts and guides as been requested by those groups, and they're very excited.

Well one off, I mean they could be suggested that you have.

It's just to buy a vote at election time and then plug them afterwards.

No, we've got new initiatives, like I said, but there's also access all Areas initiative. The student Assistants payment was something we introduced also through the election and we got.

Funded and rolling out.

So we also announced, for example, keeping the free public transport for children going to school. So there's a lot of new initiatives as well in this budget, including as I said, free public transport for kids. Also in addition the free public transport for kids, the student assistants payment, Access all Areas, and also the kids bought voucher at three hundred dollars.

Remember a couple of years ago, with one hundred and fifty dollars.

You had the money in the for a higher voucher.

No he didn't.

No we didn't, so that wasn't So this money is new money.

There is money.

Sorry, there is a surplus. You could have spent a wide shoes not Oh, we've.

Introduced a whole range of new cost of living measures for children.

So that's a reader talking to Dylan and Pazza. One double three eight e E two is the phone number. I mean that the last is question is, and it wasn't a couple of years ago that kids sport was one hundred and fifty dollars. It started in two thousand and eleven, and it started a hundred fifty dollars back then. So it's fourteen years ago, and it was under the labor sort of liberal national government that came out. It's

Good a jeff my excitement reading, yeah read pitty reader didn't announce that the five hundred dollars was going to go under three hundred dollars when she announced the racetrack five minutes before the election. And as I put in a net note to you earlier, I bet the racetrack will blow out more than twenty million dollars that could pay for this this. Yeah, what is it now?

Mate's two hundred and seventeen? I think, wasn't it it was announced that Yeah, a good, good point. I don't normally buy into these sorts of things, but this one's got to me. This is about priority isn't it. And yeah, and there are there are targeted packages. Thanks Jeff, good on your Jeff from Safety Bay, from shoal Water. The I'll come back. I'll come back on this one because

Yeah, gooday boe, Yes, I'm on my way home Made on Great Easter and heading east. Right just after the Lion's treat in Sawyer's Valley, a BGC double has gone on to the other side of the road Made and it's like horizontal facing the oncoming traffic on the other side.

Mate, So is what just skidded and veered across the road?

Yeah, it's feared off and it's feared off to the right instead of the left onto the oncoming traffic on Great Eastern Made and the cops are there. They've blocked that side off and the site going east they've blocked one lane off Made. It looks Yeah, I don't know what's happened, but obviously he's try to avoid someone or something.

Yeah.

Is it on its wheels? Jason hasn't rolled or anything.

No, it's on its wheels, but it's virtually on on both sides of the road. It's that long, so they can't get a crop.

Yeah, So that's that Sawyer's Valley. What was the name of the street across the street just.

After Lion Street. If you're heading east towards cal Gorley.

Yeah, okay, all right, all right mate, thanks letting us know Jason issues. Mate might want to avoid the area. So that's great. It's in the highway. I think Jason was saying it across both lanes of traffic near Sawyer's Value Valley. There, Chris today, how are you mate? Good? Thank you.

I just wanted to stand about the sports. Yeah, I'm a bog coach at the local footy club and ye club. The coach out a lot of the kids sort of come from that's well off families and have a few money issues and that the up the western subab sort of families. And it's all good for the sports out to cover one season. Maybe that covers the footy season, but if they take it away, they don't come back

Yeah, thanks Chris. What do you you send footy? What do you do during the summer?

Basketball? May I coached the footy team and then half of the boys that you know struggle a little bit. I've started up a basketball team over summer just to sort of give them to something to come back to. So they praying two nights a week, they play one day a week, and it's amazing how many of them actually come back. And then you've sort of got your hooks into them and they come back to foot you the next season as well, you know.

So all right, yeah, thanks thanks Chris. Cheers mate, very good point. So, yeah, that's we're wondering if that is the issue where the reduction for five hundred and three hundred means that they're just playing one sport as opposed to winter and summer sport. It is a lot of money. Happy to keep taking your calls, at least, Gately joins us from our newsroom here at six PRM. She's been to a res whippy press, commerce, high alease. What are we talking about?

Yeah, and the Attorney General Tony Booty was there as well. So they flagged this before the election. But they're finally this week introducing to Parliament a bill. They've dubbed it the Post and Boast Laws. So these laws will make posting criminal activity on social media the actual video illegal.

So what is it?

What potentially could an illegal act be if it was filmed? Is it a fight? Is it animal cruelty? It's something to do with cars? What is it?

Yeah?

So it's a lot of those things. It's only a few prescribed defenses, but think honing, stealing cars, filming fights, even Nazi gestures and Nazi symbols. It's really to deter people from committing these offenses purely to get social media clout.

All right, Well, you've got some provided us with some audio from Rees Whitby. Let's have a listen, police and members of the community generally a second tide of seeing copycat crims engaged in often dangerous activity and other crimes to get a kick out of it, to put it on Facebook. All right, So post and boast laws, when are they coming in, Elise?

So they're only being introduced to Parliament this week, but I'm sure we will see. I'm sure it will get bipartisan support. I don't think you can really argue with that, so it should be very.

Soon, all right. Did Minister note that it's used in other jurisdictions or yeah.

So we are far behind the rest of the states, so we are catching up to them by introducing this.

Yeah, all right, thanks Alice. We'll hear your reports in our news bulletins today. Thank you, Thank you at least greatly from our newsroom here. So post and post rules being introduced to parliament be legal to post video photographs of criminal activity. It's a new thing and we are a little behind the rest of the jurisdictions. I wasn't aware of that. I need to get out of house more three and a half minutes to midday, stone Rose is how good coming out to midday. We'd love to

Well, he's landed. I know that because I saw the plane on flight tracker. But one flight's been canceled to London and one is boarding, so I don't know whether he's on there because he hasn't rained me. Oh yeah, he troubled.

Who's he flying with, Terry?

He's flying with Qatar. Yeah, so he's on his way to Dublin because that's where he's from. He's a mad Irishman.

Yeah yeah, yeah, and it's got a wedding to go to.

Okay, ordinarily would he contact you? Is he that that bloke?

Oh?

Yeah, mostly? Yeah, yeah, but I don't. I don't think he's o fay with WhatsApp at the moment. Okay, I think he needs a bit of practice.

Yeah, WhatsApp challenged? All right? All right, but you sound in good humor, Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

All good, all right, I've got a couple of weeks off work. So that's really good. Yeah, I'm doing some jobs around the house, all right.

No hobby, no job for a couple of weeks. Sounds good. That's very good, thanks Terry.

I work in local government as well.

Yeah, oh good on you. All right, thanks Terry. Well twenty odd thousand people do big employer. Thanks Terry. Nice to hear from you. So how are you not picking up or not ringing from Doha? But as it looks like flight tracker says he has landed one of our listeners. I think it's Paul. Paul has sent through the media release the press release of the government about kids sport from last year. Thank you, Paul, appreciate it mate. We printed it out. So this the date of this is?

Is?

WhatsApp is What's app the new way of staying in touch with friends and family. You get a give big what'sapp thing together. You can do videos, you can write stuff, you can take photos. Is that why stamps have gone from a dollar fifty dollars seventy because people don't use them as much? I'd love to hear from you the earbuds at work? What do you reckon? Particularly in public facing jobs or any job? Is really part of going to work is being social, isn't it? And being in

Increased to three hundred dollars. The five hundred dollars a one off, one year impact. So kids sports started at one hundred and fifty dollars a couple of years ago. It's grown to now our commitment to three hundred dollars going forward.

All right, so was it a one off? Did you expect it's going to be a one off? Charmaine says the saving from cutting kids sport could well be eaten up by kids getting the justice system through boredom. Charmaine good point, having kids in the tent, being part of the community playing sport really really important. It's a social issue as well as a sport issue, health issue. Get a Beev good show, she says, thanks Bev. No who

Good Simon, How are you good?

Earbuds Simon?

Just on the same theme. I'm a bike rider and one of the challenging issues, of course is when you're flying down and you've got people walking along and you sound your bell, you do all your right thing, but people just have two earbuds in and they're completely obliviate.

Right mate, Yeah, safety reasons for pedestrians, chairs ol, Thank you, keep up the good work. One double three eight to eighty two. Sixteen past midday? Is too much sleep a good thing? And wearing earbuds at work? Is it okay? That past the pub sniff test? It's sixteen past mid day? Shall I say the pub sniff test? I think well deployed. That's good enough. Added to myself, Jimmy enjoying his own

Hi Dave, Oh good day mate. After your help, I need someone to ask where's some power? Why they have a habit of having planned outages but not giving me any warning. It's happened again to day to the people in Glendalow. Happened happens sometimes, asked year as well. What they do is they have a planned outage, but they don't tell you about it, and they send you a text about half an hour later.

Yeah, I get those in my ear. Yea, they are pretty late, aren't they there? It is late? Notice? Yeah, how long is it long?

Kind of yeah?

How long's it? Four? Dave?

Till three thirty?

They say, yeah, okay, it's a long one went off.

At about about eleven o'clock this morning. It's either in competence by Western Power or they or they're doing on purpose one of these two.

Yeah, I don't know, Thanks Dave. I yeah, that's true. Often if it's during a get them during the work day, it's not such a big deal because you're at you're at work, but if you're at home, it's a paying the bum. Lee in sunny Scarborough, get a Lee. I'm flying to the UK via Doha in two weeks time. If I was flying alone, will monitor the news and

Hello, deb Hi Bowie, how are you today?

Very well?

Thanks? Is that the name of your company? Nine nights.

It is.

That's nice, isn't it. That's a really I like that nine nights? So is that right?

Can you?

Is too much sleep bad for you?

We've known that for a long time. Oh really, it's not really anything new, but certainly the more research that comes out and the more participants in studies helps to substantiate that data that is too much sleep and too little sleep is equally.

Bad for your help.

Yeah, okay, why why is too much sleep bad? What does that do to you?

Well?

The thing is, when you're spending too much time lying down, you're your sed entry, which is not good. We need to be moving. We're not designed to spend long amounts of time in bed. Of course, when you're not moving, then you potentially are missing meals. It's it's just not good for your health to be that stagnant.

All right.

So yep, got inactivity, the sedentary nature that potentially missing meals sometimes at nine eyes. So I just like saying is that sometimes you need to catch up when you sleep, though, don't you?

Oh look for sure, sometimes you do need to catch up, and there's nothing wrong with that. These studies are looking at people to perpetually sleep too long so some people think they're very lucky to be able to sleep long when most of the world is suffering from insomnia. But certainly we know for any adult between the ages of twenty six to sixty four, between seven and nine hours is the recommended range of sleep.

All right, well that's me. I'm in that range there, Deb. What would love to hear from our listeners? Do you think sleeping too much is bad for you? And sometimes you feel a bit groggy out of sorts, don't you?

Deb?

If you sleep a lot sleep in?

Oh yeah, and look that can happen even if you decide to have a bit of a sleep in thinking you need to touch up. You wake up with that what we call sleep inertia, and you really you wake up feeling worse than what you did before.

Yeah, we had a bit of fun earlier on the show. Deb Sean, our executive producer, has just moved back in with his mum and dad and he's having dinner ahead, dinner at five point thirty last night. A lot of our listeners they reckon you have dinner early so you can digest you food before you go to bed. What does nine I think?

Yeah, look, certainly, going to bed on a full stomach of food is not going to be necessarily a good thing for you. And often the reason is because you've got all those digestion and all your major organs are slowing down ready for sleep, and that full coming is going to mean that you have every chance that you're going to have reflux, which is then going to make you feel awful. It's going to affect your sleep. You don't want to be sleeping, sorry, you don't want to be eating in.

That hour before bed, okay, And little micro sleeps deep here and there, a little little nap in the car at school pickup or micro sleeps are okay.

But if you're finding that you can't get through a day without meeting and that, then you're not getting enough sleep at night. But certainly a micro sleep means a micro sleep no more than fifteen twenty minutes. Once you get into deep sleep too much, you're going to have trouble falling asleep at night.

Yeah, I gotcha. Now, I don't think i've ever asked you this. Do you sleep okay? Being a sleep.

Expert, Look, I do sleep okay.

But the thing is, what I know with all my qualifications and experience is when I have bad sleep, and we all do. It's absolutely part of the normal sleep cycles to have bad sleep. I don't worry about it, and that's the difference between having insomnia or not having insomnia. Those people that worry about it, they're just going to perpetually keep around that.

I could not agree more. I've got mates. You just talk about it incessantly, unrelentingly, about you iding enough sleep every day, all day, every day.

Yes, yes, it's some people are absolutely possessive about their sleep habits. And really, even though we know that there's so much knowledge out there now about sleep, people are either not motivated to get it sorted out, or otherwise they don't know where to go, so they go to all the wrong places to get their sleep.

Sorted yeah, or they're just happy about crapping on about it and talking about all the time make everybody else unhappy. Hey, Dev, really nice to talk to you. Thank you. Deb Herban is a sleep expert from nine Eyes. Thanks Deb. So yeah, that's a good name, isn't it for a company? Twenty seven and a half minutes past midday? Sleeping too much? What do you reckon? Can sleep too much? You must have needed it as their mums would say. One double

But the black market is huge, massive, to the point that's there may be some whispers that some of the big cigarettes companies are about to pull out of the major supermarket.

Yeah, well that's where it's headed to alls.

And if you think about, if you are a smoker, how much you have to pay now for a packet of cigarettes? Have we just taxed people out of the opportunity to buy which is still a legal product. Hen's why they go to the black market in such huge numbers. So we'll get into that today.
