Perth Today with Simon Beaumont Podcast - Wednesday, 18 June 2025

On Perth six PR. This is Perth Today with Simon Beaumont.

Yes today everyone, thanks for listening in. I'm Simon Beaumont here until one o'clock today. I'd love to hear from you talk about radio program when I talk about radio station. Phone lines are open one double three eight eighty two if you'd like to give us a call, and the text lines up and running as well. Zero four eighty seven, triple nine A eighty two. The state of origins on tonight at OPTAs Stadium, but not according to our daily paper. We'll have a little look at that in just a moment.

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

Yes or no? Have you had the flu this year? Have you had the flu this year? A health figure show There's been more than double the amount of the cases this time last year. Have you had the flu this year? Yes or no? And what's it been like? So always hear that, you know, we people say I've got the flu when you haven't really just got a cold or RSV or something like that. But have you had the flu this year? What's it been like? Yes

He basically controls.

The media over here.

You burnt the village as it were, by leaving seven.

Where do you find your oxygen?

Yeah, I mean look, at the end of the day, what I've said to people is you know this is an AFL town. There's no doubt about that. The Eagles and the docks are big. But like, it's also a soccer town. It's also a basketball town. It's a tennis town, it's a hockey town, it's a union town, and it'll be an NRL town. I mean the main thing about West Australians is they love sport of any kind and they show up to things. So you know, there'll be

The West Australian paper has been less than supportive of all of this, and whatever directive is going on there, you can do it without it.

Well, I think the end of the day, we've got to earn the right to be in those pages, right, Like, if we're winning on the field, if we're winning off the field, then I'm sure we'll be in the West Australian sports pages. And if we're not, you know, the only people missing out will be the readers of the newspaper.

All right, So there's Anthony DISSECTI former add to the West knows a fair bit about the West, and the owner of the West and how the network works. But it's really clear, really clear that the seven West Media group aren't getting behind the NRL because they're not showing it. So and as I say, imagine if six PR didn't give a nod and a wink and include some of

You may so.

I hope they'll stay well. This one here from Chris. Yes, Simon, I've had the flu. Sore throat running, no small, four days hot lemonon and honey. Thanks Chris. Lots of people corresponding with us today. Have you had the flu this season already? Rory No, Nope, no flu, no flu Shotory things me. Hello, maya morning, Simon, I haven't had the flu. Lots of people corresponding with us today, so and if you have had it, tell us what it was like. Davos says I've got COVID, and he's put a rude

Wow.

Sorry to hear that, Greg, it's heavy. Yes, I have says John wasn't bad. It was very long. Three weeks no COVID comes cropping up a little bit as well. Thanks for your correspondence on this. We're asking and fatic noses. Chris May, are the health authorities chucking out more scare tactics. I don't think so, Chris. I think they're legit, don't they Well, why they do that? Nos is? Elizabeth Andrew hung around for two weeks. It was no good. Thanks Andrew.

Mate.

In fact, funnily enough, I've had something nasty for the last two weeks, severe sore throat, cough, shocking red eyes like Dracula. Haven't made a diagnosis, but.

I'm sorry, here's got something dodgy. I'm here that you're baffled on. Yeah, good on you, matte. We've been asking the question this morning, Clay, yes, no question. Have you had the flu? Our listeners are saying no flu yet, says Trucky Carol, yummy homemade soup. Shelley says no flu, no shot for over ten years, so at the moment yet says A ten and nose to twenty four. But the numbers presenting to the Hill or being recorded by the Health Department of double what they were last year.

Clay, Yes, in fact, it's very worrying. And remember those numbers that are diagnosed to the tip, the very tip of the iceberg. So most flu cases in fact don't get diagnosed. So you're looking at hundreds of thousands of cases potentially probably double what we had last year. And this is a phenomenon right across Australia.

Yeah, okay, so just remind us, Clay, what's the difference between a man cold, a cold, and the flu.

So influenza when it does hit you, it's a really nasty illness. Most people have got bad flu will say it hit me like a brick or a train. I just got knocked over within a couple of hours. So it's usually much more severe than just a common cold, which might be a bit of a scratchy throat and

Yeah, all right, so this will happen, so people going to hospital. I was one of our listeners that went for four days at close. So that's the that's the extreme outcome, isn't it having to go to an ed and then needing to find.

A bed yep, and you know something end up in ICU. So touch wood for us at Hollywood at least we haven't had a directly attributable death. We had a few people come close though, So you know, I just keep reinforcing prevention better than QRE. I do a regular segment with Ross. You probably here on a Sunday, YEP evening, and you know, we talk about vaccines all the time, and the full vaccine. It's not a perfect vaccine, but it's a good one. That's one we all should have.

All right, Good to talk to you, mate, You do sound a bit rasciale. Let you get back to the onion eleven. Good on your mate. Thanks Clay both see Dr Clay Collige. It's infectious diseases experts. So they've had some near some close calls. Of Clay's practice is based up at Hollywood. They've had some near close calls there. But people presenting to eds with the flu influenza A. Have you had the flu this season? The yes is are ten and the nose a twenty four. Thanks for

Mate.

People don't go to the waffle. I go to the waffle. There's five hundred people there.

Mate.

They go to the finals and I care about Waffle, I go, but we're not a you know. That's that the Waffle gets more coverage than than the than the state of origin would be my point. I appreciate your thoughts, and it is an AFL state, a footy state. We will know that. Think about this, Jack, if you're a West Coast supporter and you haven't particularly enjoyed the last three and a half years, watching the Rabbit O's or the Dolphins is not a bad option. It's a good game.

Greg?

Hey, how are you good?

Thank you?

Thank you?

Yeah?

I got the flu really bad. Ended up with being rushed into rushed into Fiona Stanley, well straight past. I knew I was sick when they bypassed all the rampings guys and took me straight into a into a bead.

That's when I thought, oh, hello, yeah, well how old are you agreed?

I'm fifty six and pretty fad yep, and yeah, four days I spent in the hospital, very very ill.

Yeah all right, matey.

It's no joke for the I think there was the call of their saying that the government's faking it or whatever.

Not trust me, you were faking Hey, Greg, how are you going now? You got better?

Yeah?

Look, you know what.

I'm back at work today and the boys hasn't completely come back, but I'm otherwise getting back to normal health.

Yeah, it was a shocking.

Couple of weeks there.

Yeah, all right, thanks mate, thanks for talking to us. Wonderble three A Daddy two. The figures the number of presentations to the health department have been eighty eighty three this time. Last year's three four hundred and eighty eight. So it's a it's a bad flu season. Quite a lot of people have been sick here at six PR. But be aware and then try and keep your immune system in half decent neck, get some exercising, some healthy food and some sleeping, all of that. But it is

Can I sorry, Simon, I'm just saying hello, good morning. I heard you say Clay and I thought, well, that must be Clay Gollige talking about infectious diseases. I thought, but it doesn't sound like the Clay that I know. It mustn't be Clay Gollege. And then the more I listened, I thought, oh no, maybe it is how he's crook is he is crooked and he's not sure what it

And he's been sick for two weeks. He doesn't know what he's got. That's that's not great. It's not what we want to hear it is. It is not Steve says fourth day, feeling like kaka, which is Italian word. I think wife has it too, and Greek and is it the same for the same thing, is it yep, yeah, yeah, it might be slang in both languages actually, but s h yeah, you get where we're going. You're same, ladies

Rolls on, and so all of our engagement and certainly my engagement around the state and the around the metro area where I've branded as a listening to only because it makes it very clear what it is. And coming off the last elect as you've heard me say previously, there's a need for our state parliamentary team that certainly means the leader to connect and reconnect if you like,

Regions have as well. So if have you heard anything that has surprised you, I wasn't expecting.

Yeah, well I and as I say this, this is exactly why somebody in my position needs to go out because I have been well aware that we have a housing crisis in Perth. That's been very clear to me, certainly my previous role as Lord Mayor and in my formative stages of this parliamentary career and obviously representing the

So what are the people living in Karratha and Heaven who need more housing saying to you? And the people in the wheat belt in the great Southern what are they saying? Is it to do with releasing land essions from Western power for headworks? Is it to do is labor builders stock? What is it? Or is it all of those? Yeah, so it really is all of the above.

There is a great frustration though, certainly in the regional centers about the release of land. They do feel that it is not happening fast enough and that it does get delayed. There's a huge element of bureaucracy around it. And the other thing that everybody listening who's traveled our great state would know, And I've traveled to our great state, but a long time since I've been to Port Headland, Kafa and Xmount specifically, there is vast amounts of land.

X Mouth back. Basil's mplus is with us, if you want to call it, you cam Wonderble three A eighty two. We had Caroline Spencer, the Auditor General in yesterday Basis you're standing right where you're standing at the moment, and it was a fairly grim tale. One point six billion of cost overruns, particularly around it in major projects, and one of them is around the fact that we still don't have tap and go on their buses, ferries and trains have a listen to this. This is David Hines,

I expect probably by the end of twenty twenty three is when we're looking at at the moment to have a system which you'll be able to use your phone, a credit card or any wearables of you know, your Apple watch and so on to do your tag with.

And we like Heinze, we always liked him. Good fellap so and he's he's got that information in front of him. He believes it. That's twenty twenty two and one. Spencer was in here yesterday saying this is seventy running seventy eight months late.

Six and a half years, six and a half years, and so for those and sometimes he ordered a general's reports can although she's excellent when communicating them, they can be hard to fully understand and get your head around. I get it, big numbers projects you're not necessarily familiar with.

And here's an.

Example of neither of those two things happening six and a half years. Is the delay for the implementation of this technology that most people now would consider an everyday part of life in all of our areas of life, but not on public transport. And the overrun is part of the one point six billion dollar overrun in these IT projects. That's not acceptable and it goes to the delivery on time and on budget of this state government.

It's an area that they are falling down in badly. So Olie is very cleverly picked up listening to Caroline. They said, big deal, these numbers are appalling. Big deal. She's put it in a report nothing's going to happen. So I put that back to you and perhaps to not having a having for a period of time a genuine content soviety is politically so we do what according to well, list what's going to change, Well, they've got ninety million members in Parliament, what's going to change?

Well, we have to We simply have to keep the pressure on. It's up to the opposition to continue to raise these things on behalf of the public of Western Australia. The public of Western Australia through talkback radio and other forums have a role to play in that as well.

Government's priorities have been in other areas.

Now the irony of this, I suppose the great irony of this is that one of those priorities has been Metraine. We know that no one would disagree. The state government wouldn't disagree. There's a ten billion dollar overrun on that.

It's not good enough. Yeah, it wasn't lost in our listens yesterday, bas that's for sure. The other two highlights that Caroline Spencer Spencer mentioned yesterday was the technology around the high speed trains and the ability for signaling she reckons. That's a bigger one than the smart rider one. That's a big blowout. And the other ones you mentioned was

Yeah, well, there's no doubt, there is no doubt that this rollout has not been effective. It has not been efficient and has caused legitimate firearms owners difficulty in trying to comply with the new regulations. As you know, those regulations have now been sent via the numbers in the Upper House to a committee and so there will be a great examination of that those regulations to see if they can't be improved and made better and more user friendly to the people who they have captured in the

Speaking of committees that have been formed, it was a couple of weeks ago after the very sad death of a pedestrian in the city. I spoke to you, I think on the Monday and you you're urging calm. We don't need to have a knee jerk reaction here. The highest scooters were taken out of the city of Perth. You're all Patch and out of Vincent as well, with a benefit of a couple of weeks and then there has been a bipartisan parliamentary committee formed on these scooters.

Yeah, I've always had a bit of an issue with scooters in densely populated pedestrian areas, being on the footpaths, and in those areas and for example the pay Street mall, where the technology should shut them down. In the case of the e writables, the ones that you hire Jagan Square for example, or Elizabeth Key, that is where there could be serious issues, and tragically we saw exactly that

Thank you Basil's emphasis. Can we take some calls, Bazz, I'm going to call in wonderble three eight eighty two. Fionass simon another government priorities tourism, how tourism tourists meant to pay for fairy buses, et cetera without a smart rider?

Was it yes?

No question? Was here you are? Was it your first yes no question?

Yeah?

I think it was thank you? And about thirty people said no, and you said that they were all all labor people. It was Daniel Pastorrelli on doc says, but how many were the yeses?

Though?

They were overwhelming with yeah, Well here I am. So it's pretty comprehenive obviously having you in one du three eight two if you'd like to give us a shout today. And another one of the topics we've covered extensively probably the last three months, Basil has been vaping, illegal vaping. We asked a question yesterday have vapes won the war on vapes? And it was an overwhelming yes. And I spoke to Cole Blanch yesterday and he said, well, it's not up to us to police vaping. We're not sending

Well, it does feel that way, it doesn't. I'll say this more as a dad than I do as the leader of the opposition. It does feel as though we're almost powerless and without sort of wanting to give too much away of weekend sports conversations in other parental groups. So I think there is a sense that kids at a certain time in their life are probably going to

That's no good. I need to move away.

It is a real issue for our community, an issue for our society. I'm sure many people listening will go, well, this was the issue that we faced with our kids with cigarette smoking, and so it's probably not a lot different. It's probably not a lot different, but it is. It is there, There's no doubt, and it gets spoken a lot, a lot by parental groups.

I know that I guess the point of sale thing interests me, and you know you. If you and I drove out to a domestic airport today, are out to a MinRes landing spot. Most people getting off the flight having a chill as soon as they get These are older people, right, these are mine workers, so that we're people are finding a way to buy them.

I think what probably alarms us as people who would like to think we're able to influence how our state runs is the anecdotal conversations that we're here and here on talkback radio where oh that shop down there, everybody knows you can go in there and buy your vapes. And it always seems a bit weird, doesn't it when the talkback callers will tell you exactly where those stores are. The taxi drivers and the uber drivers will tell you. Probably many of the teenage kid cohort and slightly older

Oh, hello, both and Bowie. Now, I'm just looking at the first come buyas this is for an adult children, which I can't wait for them to leave home. But the stamp duty, they have a concession and it cuts out. They did raise it from the Grand Summer four thirty five to four point fifty. Now it's basically that it starts to cut down at five hundred. So there's not many houses in Perth for less than five hundred, as we're all aware, five hundred thousand.

Sorry.

And also the other issue that I've just looked, I've been looking.

I'm reading this right now off of the latest.

Print out there stamp Sorry, the medium house price in Perth and it's seven seventy five thousand. Threshold is the upper threshold where it cuts out totally. It's seven hundred thousand.

So Robin, are you asking about You're saying there should be more concessions for or more concessions for concession card holds around stamp duty and downsizing or right sizing, whatever you call it.

Yes, but also it could be even now the region our in the Perth region, the medium house bryce is seven to seventy five in the region it's five hundred and thirty five thousand, according that SI average.

Yeah, all right, and so Robin's point is that those concessions are not really going to make much difference. You're just not going to be able to get into the market and enjoy the benefits of those concessions or even go from a big place to a small place. That's true now in terms of the first home buyers, we note that there was a concession available from the state government and at the last election the Liberal Party also took a platform with a concession. It was a bigger concession.

Liberal just by the buy.

The Liberal Party in South Australia has announced over the weekend abolishing stamp duty for first home buyers on existing properties of up to one million dollars. Now, I'm not saying that that is a policy specifically that the Liberal Party of Western Australia will take to the next election, but it is clear the sorts of leavers that and mechanisms that can be brought into being, and I think

Yeah, and there is also an argument that first pumping throwing money at first home buyers doesn't necessarily help the overall position of not having enough stock for anybody. Thank you, Basil. This one here from Elizabeth. Hi Mary, we'll meet you the coffee club just realized and made a meeting point.

See you shortly. I think that's kind of the wrong plart, wrong with the person. Yeah, I wonder which coffee club.

I don't know. Have you got a favorite? Two favorites for me?

One in Forest Place, yes, just off Forest Place, and the one at the Florid Form Yeah.

I think there's Hazel goes to school out in the valley. There's a good one out in Ellenbrook. There's a lot of coffee clubs that very reliable, very life, very reliable. Thank you, Basil, well done. Thank you for having a chat to another Basil in or it's like you never left, you never left, Basil in all seriousness, When when can you get west Birth back at lead of Oval back when they need to?

But we do play four games there a year, our away games against SUBI and against Ease Perth, and I've got to say they're my favorite West Perth fixtures of the year. Because going back there, I've taken Anthony a couple of times and so this is what it used to be. Like mate, how good is it West Perth playing and leedable and then a coffee or a yochi afterwards. We're a journal up now. That's been great for the club. That's been actually a huge part of our modern success.

And imagine being in East Perth support like me and you haven't got an oval and having to walk in there, well you're old over you're a OVAL's rectangular now dead sick crook in the gut, so would hurt good you too? Thank you for coming in or seeing a fortnite good basils and plus the leader of the opposition, you voted for him to come back in and he'll be with us every fortnight. We've got a great story for you after ten. We have talked so many times about how

On Perth six PR. This is Perth Today with Simon Beaumont. Yeah, thanks for listening in. I'm Simon beau Mine. So we are here until one o'clock. I love to hear from you one double three, eight to eighty two. Thanks for all your correspondence. Have you had the flu this season? The nose are thirty one and the yeses are eighteen and they're coming in thick and fast from our listeners. Kylie says, I haven't had the flu, of had my flu shot. My extended family in the Pilberg all had

Have you had have you had the flu? Around double the number of cases we had to add this time last year in terms of Health Department numbers. Spoke to Clay Gollies and he says, well, a lot of flu. He's not captured in that data, so it's probably more so it's a bad flu season. Right eight minutes past ten, I'd love to hear from you today, still to come on the show. A number of allied health services that families can access through the NDIS through the National Disability

You going great?

Thanks?

Simon?

How are you going well? So I believe this happened yesterday, and this is involves a power of the powers of attorney meeting with SAT with stated administered tributleness, and it's worked out pretty well. Tell our listeners to what happened.

Well, just my mum's been diagnosed with early dimentia, but it's progressing quite quickly. So, yeah, she's been assessed by the doctor and you know, they've concluded that she can no longer make financial another decision, so hence having to go down the road of appointing us and during power of attorney. So which men going to the SAT yesterday? And our whole fan like myself and my sister and two brothers and sister in law and yeah, and my niece came and my dad. So but it was a

Yeah that's good, isn't it. So was there twelve that there was twelve of you?

Yes? Yeah, yeah, the whole families turned up and we went what to expect because we weren't sure, like because you hear so many bad I guess that's why they have the SAT so that you know, not anyone can sign over the parents, you know, in during kind of attorneys if your parents are you know, yes, you know struggling. So yeah, I guess that's We weren't too sure why because we're all happy for my brother to be appointed that so we weren't too sure what, you know.

What to expect.

But yeah, it was just all about my mum and what she wanted and yeah, just my mom felt really respected and valued and she felt very specially important because the senior member just kept honing in on my mum and what my mom wanted and what made her happy and things like that. Well, yeah, it was really great.

She's she was the most important person in the room. Can watch you watch your mum's name, Amanda, what's your first Margaret? Margaret? So Margaret got well looked after.

Hey, yes she did.

Yeah, so what do you do You get a sense that the senior member of the panel, it was the experience, was it her own personality? Was it her character? Is was it ultimately enduring power attorneys about all of that?

Yeah, yeah, just all of that and just being able to focus in on where mum was at and just making sure that yeah, obviously she could see that the family unit that she's my mom's got is there, you know, we're all united and everything, but just still the way that she honed in on my mom. Yeah, and just really got a feel for who my mum was and everything. And yeah, she just really I felt like she was on our page and yeah, she was very good.

Yeah, interesting, and yeah, as you say, if twelve of you dudes turned up, I guess the panel members going, oh, well this is this is good.

We're yeah, yeah, it.

Wasn't, just like rather there. I know, it's quite a complex situation because it's a family farm involved and other bits and pieces, so it's not. It wasn't you know, totally straightforward. But yeah, we all it was. It wasn't. It is a bad situation, and we just left feeling it that it went really well.

Yeah, really nice to talk to you. Thanks for reaching out, and I'm glad it went well. That's good for your mum and good for you for you guys, for the whole family.

Hey, yeah, and thanks for hearing my story.

Thanks, Amanda. Cheers, Amanda. So that happened yesterday. Happy to take your calls on that. We do talk about bureaucracies being mean to people, systems being mean to people, you know, people falling through the cracks. We talk about those stories all the time. Just wonder how these things happened. Isn't that nice? An active kindness from the state of administive tribunal because of the senior panel leader focused on the job at hand and took note of what was happening

Oh mate, crook of a dog mate, trying to trying to do your work at work. If you lifting up a pen is like lifting up a dumbell you know, you just got no power at all just to just to a sertin the parget, just not not to the death.

How long.

Was eventually just like yesterday and then you try to you've had people at work, work in the conditioned office. Yeah yeah, just to catch around everywhere. But yeah, and I had the flu shop.

Four weeks ago, so yeah, okay, all right.

Just one other thing, Bobie in regards to like the rugby and or that, and the you know, not advertising on the paper and that I was actually watching the FIFA World Cup on Foxtoel last night. And how much promotion that the Queensland government has been doing for coming purvis the Sunshine Coast is absolutely insane. You know, it would be like every break that has been pumped into wa doors.

Yeah yeah, thanks Stein. And that we'll probably see that on the coverage tonight if you so. The way the coverage works the state of origin, if you haven't seen it before, is nine free to wear have the rights and then all the other Foxes and KOs and all the streaming kicks in after the game's finished, so you will notice that. But I reckon you'll see some advertising for Perth because we've pumped some money into it, so you know the state government has pumped some money into this.

Thank you for having me.

So this has sort of been five or six years in a row that fees that are the carved out are n dies for cruise like yours, the fees of frozen have they?

Yeah, So last week we got the twenty twenty four twenty twenty five price review from the NDIS which did put the recommendation in that the cost of services would be frozen for about the six year in a row. So we have not received any price increases in line with CPI, considering we've got rising operational expenses and we're

Yeah, just leading into the MIC a little bit more racily, if you will. Thank you. So this is dietitian psychologists, physios and guys like you speech pathologists. So the six year and what's the bottom line there? What does it mean to your business? Seventy five percent of your business comes from indos. What does it mean for your business?

It means that given that the prices I need to pay to operate my business. They're increasing. It's making small businesses like mine less sustainable.

Yeah.

Yeah, and there's a really high risk of other people clothing.

Other people going to the wall. So you have written to I know you've written it's about every politician in this state and federal to make some noise about this. Do you have any support politically do you think and is it Australia wide?

This is Australia wide. One of the responses we had was a very generic correspond to it didn't really give us any support. I have written to my local MPs and a few people are beginning to write back in say they're listening, But we haven't had any significant support as of yet.

Yeah, so at this stage it's not necessarily impacting. So people who work with me here have family members who require provide NDIS funding and provision health provision. A couple of them work really closely with me, and they and these are adults that we're talking about, they're kids necessarily, So our listeners, the citizens and pundas listening out there,

We are hemorrhaging. And if we continue to hemorrhage, there are a number of businesses I know who they've already let staff go because they were having to choose between putting food on their own table or paying their staff. And that's not a decision anyone should have to make. And also if that happens and business start to close, there's going to be longer wait lists, which means the accessed early intervention is going to dwindle and more people are at.

So for a speech pathologist, you're a mobile service and you operate sort of mostly north of the river. Are you who your biggest client base? Is it parents providing speech pathology early intervention for the kids? Is it adults? Is it ongoing?

What is it?

So?

My case load range is between two years old to about seventeen years old, and I'm anywhere between homes, daycarees, schools, and community visits.

Yeah, all right, And the fact that you've had a price freeze and you're facing another one for another year at least another year, means that your business is now in a parlor state. Yes, yep. And is that what the physios are saying, the dietitians, the sights are saying as well.

Everyone everyone is feeling the pressure now, and we're all kind of rallying together to try and get this decision revoked because this falls apart the only people who are going to be left in the position of needing more help for the kids.

Yeah. This is Rachel Lockridge, principal speech pathologists from Sunshine Speech Pathology. A lot of my predecessors who've sat in this chair Rachel, have spoken about the NDIS and I've listened.

Absolutely still far from perfect. There's a long way to go. The NDIS. The whole kind of point of the system was to build capacity and build independence. And if we're taking away opportunity for us to engage with our participants. We're just going to send the system backwards and there's going to be more dependent and more pressure on the public health and education systems as well.

Could you, as a business owner and as a smart business owner, can you adjust your mix and move away from NDIS provision and keep your mobile service going, but moving to a different parts of the sector.

I can definitely take on more privately paying clients. However, given the cost of living, that's really hard for people to access at the moment. And given that I'm in the pediatric world, a lot of my clients do you come through with diagnoses such as autism, young syndrome, cerebral palsy. So most of my clients are in the disability background, and that's where my specialty is.

By sure, it is harder for me. And you know, it's not glib to s or dumbing down to say those they are people who struggle to speak and articulate and communicate an that's that's obvious, and so that's it's a service that's required. If you had a magic wand now you've got the letter out there, hopefully the letter people listening to the noise you're making. If you had a magic wand what would you say to the end, to NDIS or that all that or the minister running it, I.

Would say, please revoke your decision to have travel funding and impact people regionally and rurally. Please revoke your decision to cut costs for physios dietetic psychologists. And please increase our billing rate to be in line with CPI so that we can meet our bottom lines.

All right, because as you say, if you guys start going under start doing other work, that puts even more pressure on what is an oversubscribed system as it is. Yep, Yeah, all right, Rachel, thank you very much for coming in. Anything else I need to know or our listens need to know, we miss anything.

Just if you can make noise as well, The more noise we make, the more opportunity we have for the NDAA to hear us.

Yeah, all right, thanks for coming in, Thanks having chat to us. Thank you so much, Well done. Rachel Lockridge, Principal speech pathologist at Sunshine Speech Pathology. So talking to Seannann about this. My two colleagues here, they have family members that require services, health services as provided and funded by the NDEs and it's not using and accessing the system.

Good news, Elliot bus breakdown the spectacles Quanana northbound to Thomas Road has been clear. Things moving well. Quanana northbound a little bit slow still around that area including ancoratel Road, the Graham Farmer underspeed eastbound and be aware of some localized flooding through Rong Road and the Welshpool area.

I'm Rob bver on Perth Traffic Leader six b are asking the question today have you had the flu? Yes or no? The yeses are nineteen the nose of thirty three. We are over double the amount of cases presented and recorded and captured by the Health Department for this time of the year as compared to last year. Lisa Gooday, Lisa Morning, Simon and team. I have never had the flu. Shop only had two COVID vaccines which were bully. This is having by Messiah mcgout McGowan. I can't remember the

Yeah, not quite.

I had a sleepover last night, and i'd like to start this conversation in case they're listening. I love my in laws, They're very good to me. But yeah, I came into work with you this morning. As you know, we start very early, and so I had a sleepover last night because my husband's away. Baby daughter needed someone to look after her, so rather than me dropping her off at five am this morning, we stayed the night.

Okay, And so you so the in laws you do like them, Yes, we get on very well when they first met you when you were the girlfriend.

Yes.

So the last time I had a sleepover at their house was very early in our relationship, when I was just the girlfriend, and you know that was fine. But I haven't slept her for quite a few years. And last night, with my husband away, I had dinner with them. It was lovely and then I got into bed which, funnily enough, their spare room is now my husband's old childhood room.

And I was lying there thinking, is this a bit weird? And as much as I do.

Get on well with them, what's the protocol? Did you say good night to them and shake their hands and give them a cuddle.

Yes, we said good night, and then I sort of said, oh, well, i'll see you tomorrow.

As the wife, as the daughter in law with a baby.

Yes, exactly. So it was fast asleep at this point. It was all good. But it was very funny because they have an intercom system in their house.

I have an intercom with.

Fabulous for the boy.

They have three boys, so growing up yelling at them, you know, dinner's ready, kids, come down the hallway whatever.

Great system.

Last night I was lying in bed and at two am when my daughter started making noises, I suddenly hear around me.

Shhh.

It was my mother in law trying to settle.

The baby buy the intercom via.

The terrified me a little bit because I was half asleep.

But he thought someone was in a room with you.

Yeah, but also maybe a good method.

So anyway, it got me thinking, I wonder what our listeners think as well, you know, how much time do you spend with your in laws? And do you spend time with them without your partner there? Because I realized we haven't spent a whole lot of time without Tim, my husband being there.

Yeah. And sometimes people if they do part ways, they maintain the in laws, they get the in laws in the custody battle.

Yeah.

And I've had friends who have you know, struggled to break up with their partners because they love their in laws so much that they want to stay.

A part of that family.

I'd love to hear from me one, double three eight et e two. The intercom is the funny bit dayy work.

She went back to sleep.

If Lindsay in laws are listening, Lindsay loves you, I love you by association and yeah, the intercom is funny ringing today. How's your relationship with your in laws?

Is it weird?

Is it funny? Do you spend time with them on your own? Love to hear from you today. Thank you, Lindsay, Thank you for helping us out today, in laws. Thank you to your in laws as well. And Barclay's away today. She's getting little baby Simone checked out. Thanks Lindz. Yeah, you're in laws. How do you get on with your in laws any good? Do they have an intercom? And do they attempt to placate and pacify your baby when it's stirring of a nighttime? Your relationship with your in laws?

Simon, Hey mate. Yeah, I've got a funny one for you. The words for mother in law in Croatian, when literally translated, means guilty for everything.

Oh, so, can you give me the word? How do you say it? In Croating? Guilty and guilty for everything means that's okay? And they they make you feel guilty or they feel guilty about everything.

Well, no, they're guilty for everything. So like you start washing dishes and your wife says to you, why are you washing dishes like that? Oh my mom taught me. Oh yeah, she's guilty for ever for that, you know, folding clothes and stuff like that. Oh yeah, she's guilty for that. So guilty for everything I do.

I do remember being pinged when I was married about how I was pegging clothes out on the line, guilty for everything time. Yeah me too, Yeah me too. I thought, well I've picked them out like this for thirty five years and they're dry guilty. Cheers mate, thank you. One double three atty two year in laws Lindsay Jett and moves home for one night so she can work with us this morning and gets the baby calm down via the intertacom. We love Lindsay's in laws. One double three

I just thought i'd let you know know how w w OI are coming in October to Perth. The prices for the people who bought the Priority pass who paid five hundred and fifty dollars YEUS. The prices started at five hundred and thy dollars US to fourteen thousand years for the tickets for the event. And that doesn't include the raw and SmackDown event. That just includes the Crown Jewel event. Those people will have to be very careful when they're purchasing their tickets.

Yeah, that's by But where isn't it, Matthew? So do you reckon people will pay that amount? Are there people fans with that deeper pockets? Will they pay?

Unfortunately, those people who paid the deposit are sort of in trouble. I was like that last year. I went with that company last year thinking that I wouldn't get anywhere and not knowing the costumes. And this year I'm a bit more wiser and haven't done that. But it's a lot of money twenty two thousand dollars just for a ticket and to go backstage and to meet two wrestlers.

Yeah sure, yeah, it's show.

ISOBR without accommodation?

Yeah yeah, all right mate. Thanks letting us know, Matthew. So be where if you are buying a pricey ticket for SmackDown and Raw in October, just be aware what you're buying. Make sure you know what you're getting for that layout because that's a fair bit of day, isn't It's thirteen minutes to eleven o'clock. What's happening with a new gen plant down in the Quanana Industrial Area and did it nearly get a bailout of thirty mil last

Today, Chris, what excitement.

Good to talk to you again. What are you hearing about new Gen? Is it teetering?

Is it?

Mate?

Look, I haven't heard much at all about what's going on behind the scenes with new Gen. I don't understand why it would be teetering because it's supplying a large amount of electricity into the into the into the grid,

Well, I mean, we don't have the story. We just I know Dan Mercer has the story. He's he's a good fellow at a good journal, Dan. But new gen is important, isn't it. And as you say, mostly for industrial supply, for commercial supply, And it's news to us that maybe re Sweepy is the Energy Minister put it to government we needed to bar this out, So it does seem that he's concerned about it as well.

Yeah, I mean, if it's in trouble, it needs to be fixed. That's that's that is the bottom line, and let's get on with doing that. But the bigger picture needs also to be addressed. And I know that there are a full disclosure. I'm on the board of a couple of renewable energy companies, one of which is trying to get wind power into the industrial area. The bureaucracy that is blocking or not being supportive of these new energy renewable energy sources coming into the industrial area is

Yeah, because you know my backgrounds in local government and we're hearing the opposite in the regions. You know that it's the absolute red carpet, the green light. Here you go, you know, going to nar angerup, build turn and fifty wind turbines will help you out. It does seem to be different if it's in the metro area or at near Coburn Sound or in Quanana because the country ships it's here we go. Is the is the red carpet? Go for your life?

Yeah. It's like being the ball in a game of tennis with you know, and it's double so you've got four parties whacking the ball around, but nobody you just can't seem to break through and get a decision to say yes, you have approval even if you know me meeting all the environmental conditions down the way, but nobody is taking it up and saying, yes, this is something

It is.

It is a fact that they have to decarbonize. I mean, you take the large companies that are producing a lot of c AT carbon dioxide emissions. They're trapped or captured within the safeguard mechanism, and that says that into the future, starting last year, these companies have to reduce their emissions

Yeah, that counterintuitive, isn't it.

The new gen must stay in operation even though it's gas, which is what they call blue electricity. New gen stay in the mix as we as we move through this transition.

Yeah, all right, Chris, always good to talk to you. Thank you for your time.

You're welcome.

Timon cheers mate, Chris on my little screen. It's got Chris from Willard. So I think Chris sometimes calls used to call us a took caller. Chris out and industry consultant, former in Quanana Industry Council directors. So Dan Mercer has the story today, Dan, the new gen that rees Whitbee as the energy Minister are attempted to ballot out thirty million bucks of our money. Again, this vexed issue of you know, transitions to and net zero is what we're

Yeah.

The smart guys are saying, you know, we need renewable energy. That's that is the future. I appreciate everyone's points of view on all of this hits. We've feels like it's been foisted on us and forced upon us, doesn't it? No no doubt about that. Luis Roe will join us from the RSPC eight. She has a couple of special guests and once again sadly lou will bring us in a story of astonishing animal cruelty in the suburbs. Stay listening.

On Perth six PR This is Perth Today with Simon Beaumont.

Thanks listening. Today they start a little mini war with Ryan the Libertarian, who I enjoy his correspondents very much. He's unrelenting and he's always hard at the ball. Jim Ryan makes you laugh. They say, you take the advice of those who are smarter and you Ryan fits the category. Maybe Jim, but he's unrelenting and a good man for staying on the course that matters to him. Yes or no? Have you had the flu this season? The yeses are nineteen and the nose are forty two. I think we're

Yeah, so Kaylee's joined me in studio today to help me wrangle these two little qtis. We have eleven week old kittens, brothers Bert and Ernie. They are very very cute, but you know, they're eleven week old kittens, so they want to get out and explore and everything.

Very active.

Yeah, they're currently available for adoption, but as a bonded pair, so you will need to take both because they yeah, they're very attached to each other.

They've been with us since they were two weeks old.

They've found astrays, so they were fostered and now they're ready to be adopted. And really we've really pushing our cat adoptions at the moment because we've got room for around one hundred cats. We've got ninety seven and there are I hear eleven coming in from the one property today. We really need to move some of our cats out. We've got them from all ages, from this young right up through till twelve year old Tuppants, who is a delightful black cat that was a very quiet home.

So people are in the market. Head to the RSPCA WA website.

These two are incredibly active Kaylee has that one's Ernie, isn't it?

Is that?

What's that's Ernie? They don't look like brothers.

No, it's not unusual for letters of kittens to look vastly different to each other. Yeah, it's just really common. So just for people playing along at home, is black and white and Ernie is a tabby.

Yeah, yeah, beautiful. Yeah, they're both very cute and they are full bore. They're like two little hand grenades of fur and fluff. Aren't they so cute?

Though?

Yeah, they are extremely cute. So they are available. Go to the RSPCA website. Katie, nice to meet you, and thanks for coming in, Kayleie is having to wrangle the right word, and that's what that's saying. Comes from hurting kittens, hurting cats. These these are the poster child for that phrase. Exactly one double three eight eighty two. If you'd like to have a chat to Lou today, we will talk about the service that the RSPCA provide. Lou's given me

Yeah, that's right.

So a fifty three year old woman and her two sons aged twenty five and twenty two have each been charged with fifteen counts of animal cruelty. Background story, We got a report back in February saying that a member of the public had seen many cats living in appalling living conditions in the backyard of a Gosnell's house. So our inspectors went out there actually saw thirty eight cats and kittens. They were confined to cages and pens of all different sizes, some stacked on top of each other

All right, So this is as lucid fifty three old woman to sons twenty five and twenty two, thirty eight cats in the one house and four chickens, and just reading further down your release, and there's quite a bit of detail about the about the how unkempt the house was, and the mess and the feces and the urine and the diarrhea or all that. It's not for the faint hearted. The animals had gastro intestinal illnesses, infections, dental disease and

Yep.

So to Kitna far yeah, she was or is sorry a registered cat breeder, and all of the cats were what may be termed as desirable breeds, so rag dolls and Russian blues which fetch a pretty penny.

All right.

So the maximum penalty here is for animal Cruelly's fifty grand fine and you can cop some prison time as well. Is one of your old jobs used to work for corrective services?

I need?

Yeah?

And they go to Armadale magistrates called on twenty fifth of July. What's your job from here. What's RSPCA's job from here.

So our inspectors who picked up this case and went out there, they complete their investigation and then determine whether charges are warranted, which obviously in this case they did so then they work with our legal team and it gets to this stage and the people are actually charged, and then from here on in obviously our legal team is in court and you know, showing all the evidence and talking about the alleged defenses and yeah, then it's

The magistrate decides.

That our commander in chief of social media operations, Tony's in this year and the cats are quiet and down. Your cat whispered to.

Look at this, Yeah, look at you to eleven week old kitten stadium.

I don't think the dog would appreciate it. Did amazing story. Thirty eight cats in one house, the home of registered breeder. Why why do the boys get charged as well if she's a breeder?

Because they all lived in the house and they were all aware of the conditions. This is what will be alleging and therefore they are all responsible and they and I don't want to say, it's still before the courts at the moment, but in evidence, in some of the things that all three said to our inspector, we will allege that or three did take responsibility.

The culpability allegedly. Lou it didn't escape my attention that you said there's eleven more cats coming into the RSPCA this morning. Is that also from a case week where you'll be having a look at that on criminal grounds?

Too early to say, yeah, I don't know, it will be from an inspector, but as I say, from there, they're the ones that will carry out the investigation. They're the ones that have the under the Act to take things forward or not. So yeah, I'm not aware of the circumstances of that one.

Thank you. Lou Well answered like a professional, like a politician, like a politician, like a pro. We'll come back in a moment. Fifteen and a half minutes past eleven. Can you believe that, as lu said, how do people walk past this? How do people walk past this stuff with gi illness, poor body condition and just filth and squalor? How do people keep managing to do this? Thank God

For adoption, but yeah, we have ninety seven in care at the moment.

Yeah, all right, thanks Lou. Back in a sec Lou Roe is with us from the RSPCA. Thank you for listening. This is from Carol Lou, one of our correspondents, and it's Ka Rhyl. Hello Carol, So please ask Lou why people found guilty of animal cruelty banned for owning pets for two to five years, why not for life?

There we go, that's a question for the individual magistrates. Short answer is I don't know. But it's RSPCA WA that has the power to charge and to bring these people before the court and we argue the case as best we can, but then it's up to the individual magistrate to decide on the penalty which is available to them under the Act.

And Carol's right. We have had a few cases where people have.

Been banned from owning animals for the rest of their life, but it is pretty standard to hear five year ban, ten year ban, that kind of thing. But yeah, unfortunately I don't have a straight ad, so it's up to the individual magistrate in each individual case what they decide the penalty is.

Yep, I've asked you this the last three times you've been in. You've been you're going to get some budget money for some more inspectors. When do those boots hit the road?

So we already have a lot of new trainee inspectors, which is great because for safety reasons, all of our inspectors now work in pairs, so we've had to do quite hefty recruitment. And yeah, it's going really well. The system's working really well, traveling to regional areas on a frequent basis.

And yeah, the new funding kicks in one July.

Okay, good luck, Thanks good luck. Lou Rosewis. If you want to ring in, you can one double three eight to two. Just to go back on to there have been some changes to the laws around the Dog Act and the cad Act. We know a couple of pet shops have closed down. You and I've talked about this at length. I've talked to Melkriddle, our vet about this

Yeah, I just you know, hear stuff. As you say, we don't administer it. I think people do get a bit frustrated, depending on which local government area they live in at.

How strongly those laws are enforced. That that is the law though.

They have to be sterilized, micro chipped and registered. And even if you only want to breed one letter from your cat, you have to register as a breeder.

I was going to say that that's that new information RECEP. It's only one letter, you still need to register as a breeder. And if it's just one yeah, all right. And a lot of this is around shire's and local government and you know, rangers and part of the local government systems should be looking after all of this. Well, have you heard anything, either anecdotally, loo or otherwise about the fact that this registration's portal is being delayed?

I have heard as much as anyone else has. You know, Hannah Beasley came out and said that state government had parted ways with the company that was contracted to establish centralized registration system rather than each LGA holding their own records.

That's all I know.

You know, that's fine. We are hearing the same and probably reading the same media reports that you are, Lou And again we talked to Melkriddle about it as well. You've got a community Action Day tomorrow and one in July, in one in August. Tell us about those.

Yeah.

So a lot of people know RSPCA WA for the kinds of cases that we've been talking about, so animal cruelty. They know that we rescue animals. They know that we have a shelter in Malagar and they can come and adopt pets from us. What a lot of people don't know is all of the community outreach stuff that we do. We're not a big stick organization except when we absolutely have to be. Our inspectors and our other staff are all supremely compassionate and work with pet owners as much

Don't have to give us reasons why.

They can come along and get free dog and cat food, free flea and worm treatments. Dogs can be health checked. We've got trainers there to give advice, and you can get free micro chipping as well.

Yeah cool. Now, just watching the Burtnernie in action here. So Tony's coming and as completely plicated. That's bird I think, isn't it. That's right, that's birds. And to you, Tony, how you going Katie with yours?

Are you?

Are you sure you're working in the right profession?

What's going on here?

He is intrigued.

He's loving the six PR logo going on and off the big TV screen. So I think we maybe need to put one of those up in our catgory to keep the cats entertained.

Yeah.

So, just for people who might be in need of any of those free things that I just mentioned, they can head along to the Anthony Warren clubrooms in Clarkson today between one and three. We will be in Calgooley Boulder on the twenty third of July and in Rockingham on the eighteenth of August. If people want to know, just jump on our website click on the events link, or if you follow us on social media you'll get details of when we hold them as well.

Yep, well, now, very very good. The community action days they call so, as Lou said, free food, health checks, micro tripping, flea and worm treatments for struggling pet owns. And in particular, it's the expertise you can pass on to people, isn't it?

So?

Oh for sure?

And sometimes it's just about putting people's minds at rest. You know, my dog's doing this or my cat's doing that, and you know you talk to a professional, they go, oh, yeah, that's completely normal, but no, it can be annoying behavior.

We suggest you try X y Z and yeah it's great.

Yep, one level three AD. So if you'd like to speak to Luro you can. How you going, Lou? And all the time I've known you, you've worked here on the radio with Howard with late how do you work correct? The service you worked at Tourism w A. Just another day in w A was one on something you and your gang came up. How are you going with this? I know you love animals, but how are you going with all this?

Yeah? I love it?

I feel like I've landed where I was meant to be.

I mean, when you work for the RSPCA but you're still known as the crazy dog lady, then I don't think that kind of shows that it's your calling you Maybe, Yeah, you've maybe found your people.

You may be found your place. Yeah.

Look, some of the stuff is heartbreaking, of course it is. And ultimately it would be amazing if the RSPCA didn't have to exist, because then there would would mean there was no animal cruelty. But unfortunately it does. And I've got to tell you though, those good stories are the ones that, Wow.

You'd be going, yeah, you'd be coming back into work. Has any of it surprised you? Has any of the content any of the things you've seen? Is there anything unexpected, either in the role or the politically or you know, in the you need anything surprise you, Lou, Yeah, a.

Couple of things.

So the way.

That people can treat their animals, even after all these years, continues to surprise me.

I know it shouldn't.

I don't know if we spoke about this last time I was with you, but there've been some charges against three blokes working on a mind site in the gold Fields who thought it would be really funny to hit a pigeon with a golf club and you did tell me and film it.

And put it on Snapchat.

So you know, you just look at that vision and you just go, I don't understand what was going through your head.

So those kinds of things free your bloodstream.

Yeah, those kinds of things continue to surprise me. People's expectations sometimes, you know though, and Kayleie has a lot more experience with this than I do, but they kind of treat us a little bit like a shop. So they'll come in and they'll be like, you know, I want a small, white, fluffy dog, no older than you know, two years of age, and you say, well, we don't

There's one there's supposed to wait describe.

Yeah, and it's like, yeah, not a shop, Like that's kind of not the philosophy of animal rescue and rehoming.

So do what we got out of the back.

Yeah, that's kind of interesting. Yeah, they're probably the two biggest things.

Yeah, all right, keep up the good work. It's a noble line of work and it's very well suited to you and your personality and your skill set. Thank you for coming in. Thank you for bringing Burton Ernie in. As Ernie continues to sort of try to escape and they climb up the walls. The other ones asleep.

Yeah, I'm going to sleep to look at you.

Don't try and go and changing jobs.

I was going to say, I'm going to take Tony with me as I walk out the studio and she can come and work with us in Malaga.

Tony, he's good at a day job as well, So you can't have it all right, Katie, nice to meet you. Keep up a good work. Yeah, I'll just remind people where the Community Action Days are. At one this afternoon in Clarkson there's something wearing center.

Anthony Anthony Wearing club rooms on victism.

Pray all right, And the twenty third of July there's people listening in caw Gooley Bold and lots of people do listen on the app these days, lou and the eighteenth of August down in Rockingham. So go to the RSPCA website they call the Community Action Days and you can find out a little bit more. Thank you, Luke, good to see you.

Always, good to see you, Bowie.

And maybe we'll mix things up and in a fortnight I'll bring in a big buffhead dog.

Yeah all right, no, all right, thanks Lou, Thanks Kaylee, and thanks Tony. Yeah, look at you go. It's a twenty eight and a half minutes past eleven, lou Rowe have Lou in here chatting about all this. And look it does have a heard edge this that those animal cruelty charges are significant, and you heard it here first on this show. Yes, No, Have you had the flu this season? The yeses are nineteen the nose of forty two.

Six pr The stock market reports, Oh he cleare.

Joins us from Short and Partners that all prices up again, and I reckon O he clear is about to have the flu injection the sav ohe how are you?

Yeah, morning Simon, that's true. A few of us here in the Shuran Partner's office has decided, after reading the press reports this morning, that we might be well advised to go and get the flu shots in the city here. There are plenty of pharmacies that are doing it, I think for free. So why not, we all said. But in terms of the oil price, we're living in increasingly uncertain times, particularly in the Middle East, and the price of a barrel of oil increased around four percent last night.

Eight seven six nine. The urbium sounds like a type of car. Oh, it sounds like the Nissan Turbium with O two advantage.

I love it.

Thanks mate, it'll be turbo. Yeah, it will be hey. I hope the jab's okay, mate, thebon We'll chatt again tomorrow. Thanks so much, We will do.

Cheers.

Oh, en Clair, we're asking the question from sure and partners are asking the questions today. Have you had the flu jeff'sono donnads and no. Michael says, no, I haven't had the flu this year. In fact, I haven't had the flu since I started having my needle eight years ago. I always got the sick before that. Thank you, Michael. Good work, Janelle, fifty nine years of age. I've never had the flu. I hope I haven't jinxed myself. Janelle, well done doing something right there. We had a text

Today Sean good Simon, how I am?

Yeah? Good? Good to see what Canadian province or state are you in.

I am currently in Ottawa, which is an interesting player somewhere I hadn't been before.

Nice to talk to you made I really appreciate so eleven thirty at night, it.

Is indeed yep, and hitting the hay very shortly.

Let me tell you, all right, I appreciate you talking to us. Yeah, so Peter's noticed and I've noticed that the budget is nowhere near the size and scale of yesteryear. Sean, you used to contribute to it in that that way of yours. What's the latest? What are you hearing?

Yes, Look, the budget undergoes a bit of a review every year. I don't think that's particularly formal or anything, but like any anything, you're doing business, and you know, football.

Is a business.

You know, it's got to pay its way. It's got it's got to be able to be affordable for the w Footy Commissioner or what are they called now wo football And there was a there was a review at the start of this year and they needed to cut some cost out, so they cut some pages and those pages were actually reinstarted a couple of weeks ago because of some of the Rusten and Waffle fans who wanted a bit more content in the budget. So one of

Yeah, so Sean, knowing enough about how printing operations work, you go up in multiples of four pages. Ordinarily don't you get to four, eight, twelves whatever, yea.

Fours or eights you've got to pull out depending on the style of printing.

That it is a right.

So last time I went was to watch the Mighty Royals play the Falcons on WA Day and the budget was was it. We can talk about that till the cows come home, mate.

Now let's not think some but it was.

Yeah, it was a pretty skinny little addition. So there's four new pages have gone back in, including your column, and it's still the same size. Its almost like an a five size, isn't it.

It is a snake five size. Those four pages went back in for the weekend just on so they were they were missing for the previous weekend, but that was that was some special reason for that they were missing for that weekend, but they had been in the weekend before that, and that was the date of the reinstatement. But look, one of the one of the things that's happened I guess with the with the budget is there are so many extra games played now, so you know,

Yeah, very instinct, Hey, Sean, there were from memory, I think there were. There was an era of budgets that you didn't have, and you're always asking people if they did, because you've got most of them.

Have any going back, Look I'm missing I'm missing maybe forty or fifty back to nineteen thirty six, which is when the budget started. There was a program before that. It was just basically the same thing, renamed the WA Football And they're particularly hard to find nineteen twenty one to nineteen thirty five, but pretty much anything before about the mid fifties is very difficult.

Yeah, and the mobile forty cards albums you got those might have made.

Yeah, nineteen sixty four, nineteen sixty five, and nineteen six of any one, they did forty cards in each set, and you know, I think a lot of people grew up collecting that.

Yeah, I've got the nineteen seventy one version, no doubt about that, Sean. Really good to talk to you, Thanks for having a chat. Really good that your column's back in there. So you're right one from Canada this week, will you?

I did.

I actually filed it last night, mate, so it was it was sent through and Jackie who's been producing the budget that does the production, she was filing back and confirming and receipt and that'll be in this week's budget.

Yeah, brilliant. All right, it was nice to have you back in there, mate, and thank you for talking to us from Canada. Last time I was there, there was a beer called the Bats Blue that was six point nine percent. Sean, I would have tried to vote real clear, trying to avoid that like the plague. If you can, I reckon.

I think I'm going to stick to the Canadian club, mate, But thank you.

No you well, thanks for chatting to a Sean good ma'am any times. I'm cheers, mate, Sean Cowen. The ego, Peter, if you're listening incomprehensive, Hey from Shawney. So his column's back in. So it's gone. It's expanded by four pages. The reason it was cut back, Peter, was for costs reasons. The costs are paid by the clubs. There's also the waffle w competition needs to be included. Those teams list and the Rogers Cup. I don't know what the Rogers

This is a quite a natural one. All you need to do is take two or the three of zinc tablets and also just a ad of salt, just vitually put your finger into the salt, just a little bit on your finger, put it on your tongue, as well as taking the zinc tablets as soon as you ready to put your head down, and that will send you into a good sleep.

Yeah, all right, right through the night. Ablutions notwithstanding, well I'm not too sure. Sometimes you need to get up for a week as.

Oh, yes, yeah. No, well that's quite the normal with me because I'm a fair aid sort of thing. But yeah, once or twice I suppose.

You know, but zinc three zinc tablets and salt on the tongue. That works for you.

Yes, and I'm sure I'll work with a lot of other people too without having the defense of buying or trying to get scripts for sleeping tablets.

Yeah, all right, good to talk to you, Gary, Thank you, mate, have a good day here he's gone. Linda Jackson is an Associate Professor professor in psychology set Monash the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health. Good ame me, Linda. How are you?

I'm well?

How are you?

I'm very well? Thank you? Can you? This is a new term to me or for me, cognitive shuffling?

What is it?

Yes?

Yeah, so this is an interesting technique developed a few years ago, and it's just a way to try and help us to divert attention away from interfering thoughts when we're trying to drop off to sleep. So it can be helpful for people who perhaps have difficulties falling asleep when they first get into bed.

Yeah, okay, And what does it look like practically? What I've heard. It's It may involve letters, it may involve imagery. What can you explain it?

Yeah, of course. So the idea here is to think briefly about a really neutral or pleasant target and then switch to unrelated targets every five to fifteen seconds. So I'll give you an example. So you might pick a random word such as bike, and then you focus on the first letter of the word, so B, and then you start to list a bunch of words that start with that letter, say that, bake, bark, whatever it is. And as you go through each of those words, you start to create a mental image of the word as

Ever, given it a will, Melinda, does it work for you?

I can't say. I have to be honest this one. I haven't tried before. It is a newer kind of concept, but it's getting a lot of social media interests. It's all over TikTok at the moment. So you know, I think for people who perhaps are having difficulties falling asleep from time to time, it might be worth trying because we know that this is how our brains would normally for you know, the thought processes that normally would happen.

On the other side of malenda, sometimes in our lives and you know, whether you have a set of you university exams or whatever it is, sometimes you need to try and stay awake for longer than you would like without affecting your health. We'd very sad story that Thesa States UNI student has overdosed on caffeine tablets. Do you have any any healthy, healthy ways of staying awake.

Yeah, so I guess you know, if there are times where we do need to stay awake later in the evening, then you know, perhaps having some caffeine, perhaps not caffeine tablets, but you know, even just a cup of coffee later in the day where we normally wouldn't recommend that that might just help to keep you awake a little bit later.

Yeah, all right, Melinda, thanks for chatting to us today. We'll see what our listeners think, what they what little techniques they may use, healthy ones of course. Well appreciate the chat.

Thanks, thank you.

See I'm Linda Jackson, Associate Professor in psychology at Monash University, the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health. Cognitive shuffling, you get a word, you know, you take the letter. I guess you know it's apparent what it means. You're distracting yourself, isn't it, And you try to shuffle different words and disassociate from the job at hand. I think if you try to tell yourself to go to go to sleep, you never can, can you. That's the that's

Hi, Saren, how are you.

I was thinking, you know, when you say I haven't got the flu yet, next week you get it.

That's that's superstitious.

So don't even mention it. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Exactly right, had it?

I get a flu shot every year? I yeah, I years.

A guy had it and I said, I don't want to be that sick ever again. So and I haven't got time to be that sick, and so I always yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's right, So I do. I'm going to ask you about lightscaping just a moment. I was up there the other night having a wander through the beautiful gardens and all these security guards is, mate, you can't go down there. You can't go down there. You need to turn around. There's fences, which to me. In the case, it's been popular. He's got some numbers through the door.

It's been really popular some of this year.

The whole displays talking about pollinators and Can't Live without You and talking about plan adaptations for our West Australian flora uniqueness. But it's also a little bit of education, a little bit of community art, international artists. So it's a great way to appreciate the Botanic Garden at a time you wouldn't always it would never be lit up, of course, and so being able to appreciate our unique asset that we've got something we feel very very special

It's a great part of the park. I mean there's lots of great parts of King's Park. It's so different in different parts. But that natural amphitheater that runs down to the fountain and the surround and the creek that runs through is it's a really specky bit, isn't it.

It is a specky bit and it's actually we feel very privileged. The whole team a huge sense of a responsibility to be able to care for it and present it in a way that focuses on our living collection and focuses on the West Australian flora, but also be able to appreciate it in its natural state. And I think that that's something really really significant for Western Australia. I mean, it's unique location across the world. There's not many well we know, there's no inner city parks that

Yeah, there's plenty of to do it. There have plenty of walks to be had in little jogs and bike rides and sweeping views. Any animals of introduced animals at the moment too. I've seen Maron, I've I've seen a white rabbit as you know.

Yeah, exactly. We did have a few chucks for a while.

When I say introduced, I think there's a few foxes around, but I haven't seen any chucks for a while, so exit too expensive that nobody's dumping their chooks anywhere. I don't think, Simon, but I'm sure we'll find out. We are absolutely hammered by rabbits every year. And you know the we plant over fifty thousand annual plants to make that beautiful display in spring, and we're not fifty fifty in total thousands of our annual plants.

And they are like lollies to rabbits.

Yes, and so may you.

One of our hordiculturists from who looks after the particular entrance the botanic garden, she's cursings all the time.

So if anyone's got any ideas to hear.

You've never been a massive fan of rabbits, given the damage they can do. I know you've long long advocated against the rabbit community. Wendy's phoned in, Hi, Wendy, Oh, I'd like to know.

Is it too late to prove a mango tree.

I'd say yes, we're just at the start of winter and there's a couple of things. Depending on our season, there won't be too many weeks away and people will be ringing up saying, oh, my mango tree is flowering, because when it's quite a warm.

Start to the season.

They flower very early and if we prune it now we have a little bit of warm weather and it sends out its new growth. We're going to prune off either some of the flowering stalks, but also open up areas to anthracnose and n threat nose is the problem that mangoes get with the cold weather. That beautiful new growth that comes through can get damaged by the cold. So we wait for it to flower. Well, look at it, and then you will selectively prune some of the branches

Oh excellent, okay, all right, thank you very much, sir.

That's okay. Savor jokes.

Do you say Glendelow Glendelock?

I say Glendelow, But should it be.

Lock on the train? They say Glendelow, don't they?

Yeah, I think so. I think so. I'd never even thought about it.

Yeah, we go all right, that's.

A dilemma, isn't it. Now I'm worried.

Very much.

Yeah, here you go.

So I've got a grass trees so hard one. Yeah, I got more header into it to prune all the dead bush under me. No, people are saying, now, just right up to get rid of the rest of the dead stuff around the head.

Is that right?

What's the fire risk of everything around it?

They go up.

You would not believe they just spark grass trees.

Yeah they do.

They do.

Oh, they're just so dry, so dry, and you'll end up with sparks that don't last for very long.

But yeah, they just go up.

What what it does do, Nick, is it cleans up any scale insects that are in it, or any bugs that are in it. And so I the traditional way that they're being managed in urban landscapes as well is that I said them a light and it cleans them up and then they develop that skirt because they are a are a fire hazard as well. But whilst the skirt is there, they're also a really good habitat for bandicoots and things. So yes, what it tends to do also is encourage them to send out a flower stalk as well.

So it depends on what you want to do.

Be super careful of any other foliage around it, Nick, or any house, anything that's flammable around it, because it certainly will go up.

Yep, no, yeah, true, true. But I've trimmed, I've trimmed or of dead rod off as much. And I know what you're saying up, so I just I just want to make sure it's not going to kill.

It, won't kill it at all. Yeah, thank you, thanks, good on mate. Hello Linley, how are you?

Hello?

Yeah, Hi Linny, Hi, hey.

Gang, thank you. So I'd like to out there and have a look at some kangaroo paus, but I have been some a walking so for trolley thing. So where can I park and get.

Up there to go in to light escape Lindley or to the Botanic Garden to have a look at the kangaroo paws.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

So if you go to the main car park if you have a trolley walking, we have accessible pathways, so there are atron parking bays right at the front that's closest to our stakes.

Yeah, no problem at all with that.

And then what we call our mound, so that features our West Australian flora. So if you only have such a short time in spring, they're looking amazing. So the kangaroo paws aren't quite looking amazing yet, just a little bit early in the season. So in September early September Lindley is when you would head on lots of acron

Sure easy that pathway that's quite wide.

And open and the mound always got yeah, we call it the mound, yeah, And it was originally the concept was conceived to be out for those people who are on a bus tour and he had a short few minutes, they can get a really good oversight of what's looking spectacular. We are why we are celebrating West Australian flora and each year, depending who's the coordinator of that area, has an opportunity to put their own take on that area.

So some people absolutely love the responsibility of that.

Some of our team and others feel a huge sense of responsibility to get it right. So some years the colors are very different to what the others. But that's what I think part of the allure and the romance the wo Botanic garden is.

Is that?

Okay, lin assorted.

There, Yeah, I've a good idea. We can oaps traps. I'm sure you've got some traps too, a rabbit, your rabbits to have a stew.

We'd have to get a very humane trap, Linley, because I know you can't can't do that and it probably it plays at all.

So putting out traps on the mountain, yeah, exactly, thanks, But I.

Think there's a few people who have fond memories of rabbit stew, isn't there.

Yeah, yeah, there is. Then you get up there in September, and I know the area soon means so if you part behind behind the State Reception Center and aspects is the shop, that area there and you can just virtually walk straight downs where the log used to.

Be, pretty much where the log used to be, and it turned to compost and it had more concrete in it to try in the log, didn't it.

So yeah, the compost has been gone back.

To the soul, so it's been distributed through the park eighteen eighteen and a half minutes past midday. If you'd like to speak to so you can one double three eight eighty two. Would love to hear from you. Sue McDougal oam is with us on double three eight to two. I've liked phone, so you can.

So.

There's still tickets available for LightScape, isn't there?

Yeah, there certainly is, and we go to I think it's the twenty seventh of July, so please book your tickets. I know the busy days of the weekends, there's peak and off peak, there's some We've really tried to keep the price down under one hundred dollars for a family to make affordable. But it's just such a fantastic event. So yeah, please book tickets. I'll say tell your friends if you've been how.

Good it is?

Yep, LightScape up at Kingspark. Don't have a look Kings Park and Botanic Gardens. It's twenty two minutes past twelve could I.

Rod good afternoon?

So I the drinad trip.

I dealt with it pretty well with my roses this year, but they destroyed the daily is the question I have? Is that likely to affect the corns, I lift the corns in the ground, Is it just you know, well, yes, that's the question.

That is.

So chili thrips of course with roses, but there's quite a few other types of thrips. There's plague thrips, and there's western flower thrips, and so it's something that we do have to live with when we're growing gladioli, dahlias, even some of our native plants get affected by thrips. What we find is as long as the plant is growing nice and healthy, all the nutrients and the extra even if the flowers get damaged, then the foliage gets damaged.

First year.

Actually, when we went to Europe first year that a couple of gardens had commented that they'd left the Dahlia tubers in the ground over winter, that's how much the climate's changed, and they were shooting away again.

So leaving them there, feeding them as.

They start to die back, encouraging those extra nutrients go back to the tuba is going to help the plants for next season.

Great.

One other question, if if I good, please, seedlings seem to be in short supply. Is there are you aware of any reason why they're not producing?

I am, and it's actually a really good topic that we need to talk about. One of the major suppliers has stopped their flower production. They're actually moving and we have had a problem being able to source Australia in Western Australia major production and they are in short supply.

Well as annual seedlings.

And so because of that supplier coming out of the market, and that is linked to availability of water for them to grow the plants as well. So it's a much bigger picture than staff availability or the industry just not being geared up or expected demand. There's much bigger questions being asked at the moment or being reviewed at the moment.

Rod.

Yeah, all right, Rob, watch this space so soon. Can I keep you appraise of that? Mate? Thank you very much for your calls today on dahlias and ceilings. Can they Harry?

Oh Hill, here you goes Hi, Harry.

So I value your information, I really do.

But I've got a Mandarin three which I've had now for close on twenty five years. I've done anything and everything with it. I've even removed the existing soil, which was the usual beat stand up at Jodler, and I've actually put really good rich soil and that was made for me by a soil mob yep. And it produced mandarins. Yes, for the last three years it's been producing mandarins.

But they are totally inedible.

They are so sour and smell really bitter.

Yeah, what am I doing?

What am I doing wrong?

Is it a mandarin tree?

That's what we want to ask to start with, Is it a mandarin tree, is it kalamondon which looks like a mandarin a little round fruit. Depending on the variety. I would say you're an incredibly patient person because after that time, if that sour that variety I suspect is actually not a mandarin. It's been labeled wrong twenty five years, that's amazing, or it's roots that that's taken over, or

Harry, No, exactly. I think it's the tree. It's a tree.

It might be.

Marmalade, might not be.

Yeah, it might not be a mandarin. Give that a bill, Harry. See what you come up with, and we we're here. You know for to talk to Sue each and every week. So let us know how you go. Harry's gone THINGU Max gooda.

Bob Okay, Hi Bob, how can we help you with your roses?

When do I prune my roses?

Where do you live?

Ellen Brook?

Okay?

Roses?

This year?

I know they're having lots of late flowers self. Notice still quite a few roses hanging on. It's a very fine line to when they slow down totally and you've still got a few flowers, so you think, ah, just put some just leave them for a little while to enjoy those flowers. So middle of July to the end of July, Bob, is when we'd be looking at pruning them for this year. We are in the middle of June.

That okay, Bob, Oh, thank you Lad. Good on your mate Bob from ellen Brook World. Done, Bob, get a Patricia.

Yes, the previous caller said he'd got on top of chili thriaps on his roses, and I've been battling it for three years, so perhaps you can know what he did to get on top of it.

I know that that was Rod, wasn't it.

Rod has a absolutely regimented program I think you mentioned it before of spraying every week and alternating the spray so using natros, using success, using oils to really keep on top of it, and allowing air movement around the roses.

And it's you can't you can't miss.

It for a week or you know, in three weeks you think I'll fix it, and they just still keep coming back.

So, Patricia, so those brands that get suit of go through it, but yates, Success, gneam oil and or natural soap, and I think from memory talking to you, so you need to get underneath the leafs as well as on top. Don't you need to be pretty good drenching.

Yeah, that's exactly it you can use. And most of those are contacts brays because the problem with using anything anything more, that's the reason why you have to go under the foliage is the thrips don't suck the sap, so they don't take the nutrients or they don't take anything up by the plant. They only rasp away at the outside and rasping away. That's why they're incredibly hard to control.

Yep.

And I think also you've encouraged making the root system stronger, stronger.

Yeah, so thick cell walls is what we want to do.

We want strong stems, we want high potassium softa de potash is really important for roses. It only helps, not only helps flowering of course, increases and intensifies perfume in those perfume varieties.

All right, thank you, Patricia, thanks for calling. We always get a chili thrip call or two, don't we, Sue, Sue, well done? Have you got you oam yet? Has it arrived in the post or are you having a.

Party the ceremonies.

Actually, so all the other awards recipients from Western Australia.

I think in September sometimes, not sure.

Of the date.

Very good, Yeah, how good starting.

Thank you, very humbling.

You take Andy, I have to he might be at work. I'll see who's around it.

Ran to family.

Yeah, there's plenty of family members, aren't there. We're very proud of you too. Well done. And if you want to go and see Lightsgate, go to King's Park and Botanic Gardens. Go to the website and have a look. It is fantastic. And if you've if you've ever been at one of the concerts in King's Park, it's in the same place and it's a it tricked the place up really nicely. Sue. Done and chat to you soon.

Take care.

Yeah, thank you, Sue.

We do.

We're lucky to have her. We'll come back in at just a moment. I'm not sure if John has this story or not. John Nichols, but you may or may not hear blot I'll tell you anyway. It looks like a volcano has erupted in Bali and canceled aids and flights in and out of Bali. And in and out of Perth Airport will bring you some more details. If John hasn't got it for you in the news. Next to stay listening twenty four minutes to one o'clock. Let's

Thank you, Simon, Good afternoon. The Federal Treasurer says the world is facing a perilous moment as he warns that global factors may limit the government's policy choices in coming years. Jim Charmers has given a major speech shout lining Labour's economic priorities for its second term in Parliament. It's promising

Some news just to hand which has come into Philippa MA in our newsroom and to you guys. There have been two flights canceled in and out of Balley, with two more delayed as follow So Jet Star JQ one hundred and ten was due to depart at six fifty that was canceled this morning Transnoosa eight B eighty so AB eighty one that's been canceled at a fly tomorrow. JQ one O six was meant to go at four

Yes, it's a sad, good afternoon to you, Bowie. It's a sad story that's emerging from Donnybrook, one of the great locations in Wa.

Good for apples for apples, bakery.

It has a good visit to Santae Playground and very good playground, but with sad news has come through reported by the ABC. In the Southwest of Donnybrook visitors center and the station markets are set to close because of funding carts. So the local shower budget has come through.

Yeah, so the pooral Shore of Donnybrook bailing up cutting the service. I think they've got one staff member shaw and a dozen volunteers, so that's a shame. There are some great visitor centers right through Western Australia. The Albany one is unbelievable. The Caravan Ones is terrific as well. In Swan Valley there's a fantastic visitor center as well. But I wanted to ask you about markets because of

Because I did a little bit of dicking and you know, some people go in and investigate bits and pieces the government, like Caroline Spencers of the world. I look at the different markets and there's quite a few different markets around Perth. We're not talking just about growers' markets, which are great fresh produce which will set you up for the week.

In Midland with rippering, caring up, gearing up shops, ripper and these are car park markets and car park markets people that come in just for the day.

They bring their fresh produce from wherever, usually you know, out towards this one.

Valley and those sort of places out that way.

They come in and they sell their plants, they sell their vegitables, clothes. They sometimes close as well. And now we go into the artisan market territory. We're down south, well, I say south to a free away. There's a couple of great artisan markets, so that's your secondhand clothes, and you'll know people that just love their thrift shopping. I think I said that right, you did Chili thrip. I

I mean, I'm looking at you trying to gain it. No, it's got the antique shops and it's got a lot of it's got some permanency about it does so that's I'll get you there. I think you're right about that. So what we want from our list is car park markets, artisan markets, fresh produce marks, anything like. We're the good markets at the moment, and.

The Margaret River fresh produce market is one of the great markets as well, and it's a bit off the obviously, bit off the beaten track, drive a few hours to get there.

So most of these are said, I think Palmira's got a good market. It does, yes, memory yes, And I think there's one more that I'm going to hold back, which I reckons that ripprid. It's a car park market and it's got clothes. I saw Steve Butler by a scoop net, a crab scoop net at it. I did, Yeah, best day of his life. Five bucks for a scoop net. What does the scoop net? Five dollars? Five dollars? Yeah? So happy was he wearing?

What was he?

Was he wearing?

Steve Butler? Was he Steve not John Butler? I thought it John Butler's and John Steve. Steve lives in Palmyras, you know, powerhouse, so he's two very different Butlers, aren't They get you Butler? But the Inglewood night markets are very good.

There's a Perth up market, so the u W way do it about three or four times a year, so they invite people to artisan staff niche markets. So that's the Perth Up market, which is very good. So there's plenty around. Yeah, it's sill listen think brilliant mate.

But sadly where we started is the donny Brook Visitor Center and their station markets are closing down unless the show I can come up with some more duck.

It was only the open it only opened once every three Saturdays. Every third Saturday, Bok markets would open up and you can bring your stool and your produce and they just don't have the funding.

Yeah, but those local shires, as you know, they do struggle a little bit. Yeah, smell of an Aarli rag stuff. She's mate, brilliantly done a Shawan Lindsay, our executive producer here at Perth today. Wear are the good markets, the car park markets, the fresh produce ones. Some of them run once a week, someone run every fortnite and some of them are very popular. Carry ups a big one out my way. There's another big one south of the river. It's on one of the major highways one double three

Do you no?

I quite like it, all of them. How old are you? Twenty two? I turned this year, so you're twenty one now?

Yeah?

I turned twenty two in March. Yes, gone, god, twenty two?

Yeah?

Okay, wow, well done? Do you have Have you had the flu this year? Jackoe says he's got the flu? Now out the markets, the good markets around the joint, where are they? So the station markets in Donnybrook are closing, which is a great shame. And so's a visitor center. Well the shore of donning Brook. The bailing up can't afford to keep the visitor center, which is a bit of a shame. But we're asking you today, where are the good markets today?

Aaron Simon?

Yeah, there's markets held Simon. But there's markets held every Sunday morning, and Rockingham held by the Apex Club. Yeah right in the yeah car park behind Kent Street there. Yeah, so dollar coin donation. But it's more like a car boot type style, if you know what I mean. A bit of brick and brack and people's junk want to sell. But there's street and edgies and everything there, so every Sunday morning.

That one's massive, isn't it.

Yeah, Yeah, that's great.

Yeah, it's huge, loads of cars. I've sort of often got a Rocco with the family on a Sunday, Mate, and I see heaps of people there, so yeah, that's the other stary, isn't the car park marks? You get clothes, get plants, all sorts of stuff and as you say, brick a brack, what are you bought there?

Mate?

Is Aaron still there?

Max?

Aaron's gone? Aaron's mysteriously disappeared. Across the road from the leisure in. I think it's called the pub one double three eight eighty two. Where are the good markets? Olie Peterson joins us he's again on location today. He loves an outside Broadcastle or.

Oliver tell you and I reckon, I'm looking at a good market, Simon. It's called the VB the Sheds Sandwiches in between the camfield and off the stadium. It looks like a market and I think it's got your name on it.

That's what do you mean?

I just think you know it's a sunny afternoon. You're obviouly saying you're about to knock off for the day. It's a sunny afternoon. You're in Birdswood. The rain stopped and there's vbs to be poored.

Simon, Yes, well, good drink responsibly, Oliver John the Manning markets. That's come in from Mary Manning Road Bentley, the Melville markets on a Sunday, says Mike and Darren and Dave. And yeah that was one. That's that's a rip up that one of the Melville Plaza. There they've got a they've got a Dan Murphy's there. Here's that theme again and there's a big there's a big billboard of Dan Murphy and I reckon. You can see it from space, you can see it from you can see it from

Car park market Now, I love a market, love it and I love a fresh food market on a Saturday morning, like you go to some of the primary schools and that's that's good fun. There's a brilliant in sub good one in Mount Claremont that you can get to and dark. It's great, good, good part of the fabric at our commun Simon.

I think so Oliver. And if you like me and you're looking for free stuff to do with your kids, it's a good way to a good way to spend a couple of hours. Now, what do you have for us this afternoon, Well.

Bowie, I am broadcasting live in the six pr Jco Caravanland Mobile Studio opposite Stand twelve. So if you're catching the six five four from Basindin Station to up the stadium tonight for New South Wales and Queensland, you can come on down and say get a where sandwich. Between the camfield and up the stadium. I'll be presenting Perth Live till five and then Marketings will join you for the wide world of sports from five until six. Your mate Jason Feederby will be joining us, so we'll be

Ollie, I don't I can't imagine you have any more Rugby League luminaries on today because you had every single one in the world on yesterday.

How be a good lineup?

Wasn't a Piggie Liddell and it was? It was did a great job yesterday. He's just hyping it up. Good to see our network keep behind the state of Origin.

Yes, and you'll hear it tonight on six PR the Continuous Call to Mark Levy and Darryl Broman and Mark Riddell Mark Guy Albert will be on six PR after the Wide World of Sports Bring your Origin play by play now.

I spoke to Connor McGovern yesterday and he turned into a rugby league player. What we were listening to him was that gun, I love I love me rugby league and me tracksuit pants. His voice changed, give me, give me some of your best Darryl.

So some mom with is Darryl rickets tonight. What you're going to see here? Up to start and righted. Luai gets it to Killery, He goes on the outside, gets her till l Trell Betchell.

Mitchell goes over the hammer and it's four zipp to New South Wales, kick to come and Trell is on fire. Simon Boment, I'll be very happy about that. As a South Sydney Rabinos Fountain, I may enjoy.

That was better than I could have possibly expected. Enjoy mate. We'll be listening this afternoon, you see you, mate. So we'll go back to where we started today. The coverage from the paper they just don't want it here. They don't want the sport here. And that's that's a shame, because plenty people go tonight, plenty of Australia will watch, plenty of w a will watch. Got room for one more sport, don't we particularly if the Eagles an't going
