Perth Today with Simon Beaumont Podcast - Wednesday, 28th May 2025

How good.

Thanks for listening in. I'm Simon Beaumines. Thanks to Carl and Milsey and the team for the Bricky Show. We're here until one o'clock today. I'd love to hear from you. The talkback lines are open one double three A Daddy two. If you want to give us a bell today, you might want to text us so I'll have a yes no question for you in just a moment, and a lot of our responses on the yes no do come in via text. I know we've got a big audience listening in on the six pr APP Good morning to you.

Let's clear this up once and for all.

What do you think yes or no? Will Murray what the Environment Minister extend the woodside lease on the bur Up and on the Northwest Shelf?

Yes or no?

Should be happening this Saturday or before we have put a court We've had extended an imitation to Murray what probably for you know going into our second week? Now, will Murray what extend the woodside lease on the burro Up? Yes or no? This is not so much what you would like to happen, but what do you think he will do? So a lot of our listeners have made the connection that Murray what is no friend of Western

So?

We'll keep it tally on this Today we are chasing the audio from yesterday with Mega O and Neil talking about about the divide between younger people and older people in how they view woodside. Meg has made the point I'm paraphrasing here, which have a lot of our listeners to do as well, is that young people, you know are environmentally minded, they're worried about the planet and that's who the Greens and then the activists are talking to,

Could I Adam, how are you burning?

Shane?

How are you?

Yes? Simon Simon, sorry, Simon, Yeah, that's okay, So mate, six thousand outstanding arrest warrants. Dylan Capern has the yarn today and then about about a third of those issued ten years ago or more.

Yeah, look, Simon, before I go any further, I want to make it really clear that our police and the community do an absolutely incredible job despite being under pressure, and our community should completely get behind them. The w community should behind and our government should be supporting them

So is it.

I mean, the Police Minister is saying that we're recruiting thick and fast. Cole Blanche appears on this program regularly, he's a good fellow, and he says that we've got more police on the street, more eyes on the street than ever ever before. What's your theory here? Are they just not prioritizing warrants?

We all know.

What it's like to be busy at work.

There are priorities for our police, There are priorities for everyone in the work that they do day to day. What I can say from the information I've been given again and in Parliament, is that every single district in Western Australia is short on police. They do not have the police that they require to do the job that they require. Now they then need to prioritize what their jobs are and arrest warrants are just a part of that.

So it does feel it's the first time I've heard this. Adam reading it today in the paper first time I've seen your comments. It does feel like it's operational that some I mean, if you take the time and the effort to get an arrest warrant on someone, that's half the battle. You would have thought, it's got to go and find them and pick them up, don't you.

Look it's I can't speak to the process of actually going out and arresting someone, but you're absolutely correct that these are people who have committed crimes that are deemed appropriate for this person to be arrested, to be brought into the watchhouse and put in front of the courts.

Yeah, all right, appreciate the thoughts today, Adam, and thanks for chatting to us on six PR.

Thank you so much.

She is Adam Hort there. So it does for mine feel as though it's not a priority, or it's not it's some sort there's some sort of operational loopholes, loophole, So we have asked for the police commissioner, we've asked for the police Minister. Adam Hort has the story at this stage and has a free run on a free go its and as he makes a point to deal in cap and they're not parking tickets, there are rest warrants, arrest warrants. So there's serious issues right you and the

And thanks?

Rick? Brendan says, good morning, Shane. I think the government will approve the Northwest Shelf. It might have some conditions attached. We still need gas for now. He wanted to be able to afford our power, that says Brendan. Thank you, Brennan, You're a funny man. I wonder what could I call Adam Hort today? Aaron maybe Albert Albert Allen. And to his credit, Adam has sent in the message apologizing again. That's that's all good. I think we get the messaged in.

Us, Thank you, Simon.

So this is great. This is what goes into these places, so we know there's a pigurey on site. We know there's some ponds where they dry out these organic materials.

Yeah, in the general area there's a piggery as well, which I think d were has also investigated as a potential source.

Of the smell.

Okay de where is.

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation regulation.

So the suburbs in the area have been complaining about the smell and this extends right to the coast. So now Belap's a fair way in land, but Sunshine Place is just over klometer away from some of these facilities. And I do take the point that these aren't all Seawise facilities, but they are in the general area, so we don't know it's the piggery or what it is, but this is what goes into some of the ponds

Oh my goodness. Yes, it's gross would be the word to describe it. And as you say, you know, it's a good thing, right, it's a good thing to turn this waste into compost. But obviously there are lots of residents in the area who have really been affected by odors that, yeah, that have been emanating in the area

The piggery yep okay in the general area in the vicinity.

Yes, that's right.

Yes, So on the twenty fifth of October, so that was back in February, oder and wastewater experts were engaged by the department to support ongoing assessments and to recommend actions to reduce emissions. In October, seawise's license was amended by the Department to introduce stricter odor control conditions, including a requirement to develop a sludge management plan addressing odor

You measure why do you measure it?

Yeah?

What does an oder expert do?

You went downs? Is a little meter of some description?

Yeah, I'm very curious. Do you trap air samples and then take them.

Into a lab?

A dog from the airport.

I'd love to know more. We'll have to do an even deeper dive and ask d word exactly how that's done. So, and this oder expert assists in assessing and better understanding the odor emissions, and they were engaged to inform further operational improvements in twenty twenty five. Now we're up to this year. Additional ODER surveys based on community complaints have been conducted to assist the odor expert in his assessment. So his we know it's we know it's not a dog,

Yep, does sound like that, doesn't it. Thank you ed. That's the statement from Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. We understand it when to counselor gain last night and there's a petition that's now up to six hundred people. So City of Rockingham are hearing from their residents as well, so very very frustrating for all concerns.

So they passed emotion unanimously last night to take immediate action to resolve the ongoing oder nuisance and instruct de Werre to more effectively communicate with affected communities on its progress in addressing the issue. And the statement that I've just read from the department is from published eight days ago, so fairly recently. So they've put that out to communicate to the people who are affected.

Yeah, well let's see what sea Wise have done with that statement if they've made any mitigating mitigating steps. Thank you am, thank you Bowie and Barclay from our hard working producer, just with the de ward statement there. Andy Galliva is a director at sea Wise and joins us on the program. Now, Andy, thank you for your time.

You're welcome.

Thank you, Simon.

Andy.

This is described as a precinct this area. Is that the proper way to describe it. You've got contractors, different operations in this precinct. Are you happy with the term precinct.

I think that's fair enough. And the precinct is comprised of a piggery that has been there for fifty years and I think the original license was about twenty two thousand pigs. It has a mushroom compost operation which I think was built in about ninety nine twenty six, ninety seven, and then we came along a little bit later. So it's certainly there's three operations that have the potential to generate odor.

Sure, and Andy, are you are you aware either sort of through through feedback to the company or feedback from de ware or from the city of Rocking Aam. Are you aware of the of the ongoing volume of complaints?

Yes?

And how do you feel about that? What have you been trying to do? What can you do?

Yeah, Look, it's We've been quietly going about our business for nearly thirty years. Just if you like flying under the radar. We are an active and involved member of the community and this is really quite an emotional thing for us as well as the community members. So we were taking this seriously, working through a whole range of measures, which I'm happy to talk about. But we are taking this seriously.

So I've got a couple of questions for you, Annie about the complaints. Is it because there are more homes in the area, particularly on the coastal strip around Golden Bay, Secret Harbor, Singleton, those sorts of places. Is it because there's more houses now?

Quite possibly. It's a classic example of if like urban encroachment. I can remember when we first leased land on the Piggery, we would get complaints and on behalf of the piggy. I would go and visit the neighbors, have a cup of tea, talk about it. They would become sentinel sites for us. So we'd leave a calendar on their wall. They would log when there was an odor, and so that we could feed that back to the piggery, and so the priggery could look at what practices were ongoing

Yeah, fair enough, And you are talking to me today, which we appreciate it. Any one final one for me? If this those houses aren't going away. I don't imagine those blue garms are growing back anytime soon. Is there an option on the table And I'll go back to where I started on this. This is a good thing. See whys are doing attempting to produce combustibles as our

Look, I'm sure the priggery would love to move, but who's going to fund the ten or twenty million dollars for that move?

Now?

I should not speak on behalf of the piggery sea Wise I can speak on behalf of we would love to move and rebuild with. If you're like twenty first century technology. We are currently using an open air composting system which was fantastic right up probably until about ten years ago. And if we were building today, we'd probably do it differently. But for us to rebuild, and we do have a new site in East Carol Up, the current budget for that is about forty two million dollars today.

I appreciate you talking to us today. Where is East carol Up any, I've never heard of it.

East carow Up is directly to the north of the Namdelap Precinct and it's an area of land that the government has been trying to get the mantra of jobs and growth, trying to attract industry into that site. And certainly we would like to move into there and rebuild own site.

Yep, thanks for making yourself available today.

Annie, and look, may I say there's more to this story and we're working hard. We would love to engage with the Department in a in a more open and collegiate manner, and we actually do have a meeting with the Director General tomorrow to try and find that middle path to keep all the parties happy.

All right, thanks Andy, okay, thank you, excuse mate, Andy Gulliver. So, yeah, we've been there, you know, all these years, the piggeries recent as well. But that that's telling, isn't it. All that vegetation coming out all those blue gum trees. There's a heap of development through Golden Golden Bay, for example, and Singleton Golden Bay has got that huge And I know this because there's the new playground there that I think it's Pete. Ironically, p double Et not Pat Pete

Hi Jason, morning Bowie.

How are I?

Yeah, I'm well, thanks. So we've lost a couple, have we?

Yeah, look's been a few days we've lost. First three were reported of one of our favorite matriarchs of the river, Moon being spot I'd sort of swimming on the surfers. Looked like she was dragging something around, and yeah, we determined that it was her calf that she had obviously just given birth to and had died. And so dolphins very intelligent, they have a grieving process. So she was just basically trying to keep it up at the surface

And then Jason, sorry to interrupting and not knowing much about this, and I hope this isn't too gruesome. But when baby card are born, are they still she had physically been transporting the car for around or are they still attached somehow? How does that work?

No?

No, so they're not attached at all. So they're basically just born and then into the astraline environment and obviously then we'll usually get up to the surface to over their first breath.

Of air, and so she's trying to guide it through all that. Well, that's that's no good. So the little one has ended up at u w A and there'll be an autopsy in the cropsy there and then not.

At uw A.

No Murdock University partner with Dolphin Watship.

Sorry, that's a very modern distinction to make Jason go Murdock. And then she's turned up as well, and she's she's no longer with us.

Yeah, a very sad start. Yesterday we heard that there was another dolphin washed up on Applecross for short and collectively held our breaths and Ray just got down. They took some photos and researched at Murdoch Delphine Shaban Doctor Delphin Shaban, the fighter as Moons. So it was the mother in fact, who's obviously been probably well known to

So yeah, that's really sad. Mane and I and your rangers in this regard and the river Guardians and which I think last time we spoke there was twenty and two hundred of them. They do a crucial job and keeping an eye on the animals. Given we've got a couple moved in from the ocean and a couple of moved around the place. Jason, we sort of sitting around that in total that twenty five twenty seven, Mark, do you think, Yeah, look.

A spot on there well done. So we sort of say there's usually around twenty to twenty five resident dolphins. That's been the average over the last sixteen years we've run Dolphin Watch at the moment, with Moon's death and we recently lost another calf that suffering from fishing line entanglement a couple of months ago, so we lost those two. We then actually had two calves born in February March, so we currently have twenty four resident dolphins in the river park.

That includes the one that the ones that came in from the ocean, so.

There's been Yeah, there's some visitors that come in from the ocean side. We call them visitors in the Dolphin Watch Finn book. They are identified by Delphine, but they're not quite residents yet. So yeah, that makes sense. So residents come us with a bark on a daily basis.

Okay, all right, good to know Murdoch University on doctor Delphine and world under you and the team. But we've lost Moon and the baby. I guess you've been around it for a while. Can a dolphin suffer adverse health after a birth?

Jason, Yeah, look.

Quite possibly, Simon, And that's why we're really interested to see the findings from the cropsy that doctor Nage Stevens is going to be helping us with. We'd love to know, obviously was what the cause of death was for the calf, but also really for Moon as well, just to be able to obviously then report to the public and the powers that be what what actually happened and how they died. Yeah,

Keep up the good work, mate, Simon.

If I could leave you with a one piece of good news for your listeners is that we do have a competition open at the moment people to suggest a name for the two new dolphin calves that were born in February March. Yeah, and look, as a chance would have it, one of the dolphins that had the calf is gender and Ginder was a calf that was Moon was his mother, So there's a little bit of a

All right, Thanks mate, thanks letting us know, thanks for talking to us as always. Thanks Boby Good Jason Menzi's senior officer. But behavior change in public participation. I think thirteen years the regardian program has been running. So there's twenty four in the river currently in the Swan and Canning rivers, plus two plus two visitors that may may or may not have come up from MANDRA. That's a bit of a shame, isn't it. So go go to the website and have a look. River guardians might be

F See, how would you say that, Jake? Things that make you.

Go, you've got to throw an r in there. Thanks for your thoughts today, folks. We will continue on with the show and the topics that are there. And we have mentioned to you that a couple of dolphins, a dolphin calf and the mum moon have died in the last twenty four hours or so, which is sad. So the dolphin population in the river is down to twenty four plus a couple of visitors which we think came

Yeah, good morning to you.

Simon.

There was yes story in the daily newspaper this morning with some pretty alarming figures, a story that's pretty good on paper. Thousands of potent, dangerous fugitives have been on the run from WA police more than a decade. Data provided to Parliament according to the article, shows that almost six thousand outstanding arrest warrants police are pursuing and more than two thy three hundred were issued ten years ago

Have a listen well, every single police officer, so over two hundred police officers carry a mobile phone every day out on duty. Anyone that has an outstanding warrant that they come across will be flagged and alerted as having a warrant. We have executed over one hundred and eighty thousand warrants in the last twenty years, so we're only talking about three percent being outstanding. Three percent too many for me, and I will continue to track down those that fly up the law and have a warrant.

Issues against them. Are any of them duneos?

Well, the dangerous ones we follow up as quick as possible and arrest them. And that's why you've seen ninety seven percent of arrest warrants execute.

So three percent is a figure too high for Commissioner Blanche. And did you get a sense, Jake, that it's operational, or it's a priority, or is a physical police numbers thing.

I got a sense that the people that are outstanding individuals, we didn't hear it in the grab there, but the individuals that had a court date and were not that inclined to head to court and have fled.

Okay, well that's interesting. Tom Percy is listening Tom Percy Casey today, Tom, and he says, Simond Adam Hornt Hort or as I might call him Aaron because they call me Shane only joking. It's completely fine. These things happen to There is no warrants crisis in inverted commas. Most are in respective minor offenses traffic, cannabis, shoplifting, et cetera. Where the alleged defender was passing through wa and decided

That was my takeaway and my gut feel on what cole Blanche and his demeanor and the way he answered the questions this morning was Yep, that's correct. What these individuals are accused of doing. Is it completely possible to throw everything or do we need to throw everything at trying to find these people?

Not saying that the police aren't.

But yeah, I think you heard it there when I asked the police commissioner are these people dangerous? And he said no, we're pretty good at getting the dangerous ones.

Yeah, all right.

He has a lot of charisma and a lot of personality cole Blanche, and people do react to that. I certainly do, and our lists certainly do. But that's the that's the story today. And you know there's some politics in it. It's it's the opposition spokesperson on matters police versus Rees Whitby in this one as well. Jake, yesterday, you've been you are our news director here, but you're also a bit of a citizen journalist as well, and you live near the new train stations on the Coburn line.

Riata, Yes, that's right.

Yeah, so that's all. That's all planned and good to go.

Yeah, we've been doing extensive driver training, so it's all ready to go. The stations are ready to go, and so that'll commence. I think our community open day is the June the eighth, the Sunday to June the eighth, and during the ninety it opens for normal services.

So you live over that way, the trains are running on the line, so we can attest that there is driver training and the trains are working.

You can hear them, you can see them, the train track and the train's going on the track. That's going beautifully.

So you're out with your dog last night having a walk and taking a few photos some of them. It does look like some of those stations, the Oats Station Street station in particular, will struggle to be opened on time.

That's my gut feel. You get that feeling right there. It's sort of at the top of your belly, beneath the pecks. Something doesn't quite sit right with me whether this is going to open on time.

There is so much work landscaping, scaping, prefencing.

If the train stations are built, and it is.

We've got a beautiful new train station down a street, and the Carlisle one just down the road is going.

Along beautifully as well.

But my take on it is it isn't quite safe for people to access those train stations yet. There's far too much landscaping, bridgehaving construction. I mean, there's still diggers, big diggers as well on site, and a lot of sand, a lot of yellow sand.

So I.

Just have a feeling it's not going to be ready in time.

It's been.

I want to be proven wrong. They've done a tremendous job, it's been. I've been living and breathing it for the last couple of years.

So Saturday Sunday during the eighth is the community open days. You took a couple of pictures last night, and I agree with you. They do look they do look some ways off at this stage at two stations. Two of the stations did open last night, did they.

I don't know if they were open last night. The main issue for residents in Carlisle is Mint and Archer Street has been closed for some time, so that's been sending people down Roberts Road towards Shepperdon Road and there's no green turn arrow there, which has been an issue for a number of years. So there's been a large bottle lot of congestion, a lot of congestion around peak times and school drop off and pick up. And I

Yeah, yeah done, Yeah, all right, And Jake, who's a massive coming of supporter. If if Rita's right and it opens on time, Jake will spend all day for a week wearing a Fremantle jumper and a West Coast jumper on alternate days in the office.

Well, I said to you yesterday off air that if it opens on time, I will write the Coburn to Thornleigh link and Armadale line in an outfit. If you're choosing asterisk you know, no man Keenes or anything like that.

But I don't have the rig for it.

Yeah, yeah, that's you know, yeah, no, that's right.

Eating my hat sort of territory it is.

May Thanks for bringing us up to date and thanks for bringing it. Going to Cole Blanche's press Conrade, youre welcome, Jake Patrick, our news director here at six PRS. So a couple of issues for you there, a bit of citizen journalism for you as well. It does look underdone, particularly the Oat Street station. Will it be open on Monday week? Vidasafiordi reckons it's will, maybe it will, maybe the work around the clock, but it's still sund construction,

All right, Simon, Yeah, I just wanted to make the comment about the train line and how i'd imagine they will get it open, because it's going to be like the bumbry Ring Road where they opened it six months before. Really it should have been, because even now there's still lanes closed when you travel down there Monday to Friday, and with scrapers and doing landscaping and things like that. So I don't think that's a priority for the government. I think it's just get a concrete platform there and

So well, what about That's just what I think.

Yeah, what's the priority for Peter and for for human beings? What would you prefer they just opened up?

My priority would be the would be the train. Yeah, get to get the train. I'm not worried whether this plant's looking at me or not. I just would want to get the train line going.

Good call mate, Thank you, very good analogy to very good comparison with the outer humbry Ring Road. Won double three A two back to nambeelap. Paula lives out that way, Hi, Paula, how are.

You not bad? Thanks?

What's it like?

Terrible?

It's it's it's putrid, absolutely putrid. It's it smells like an open sewer. Wow, that's what it smells like. And it's nearly every day.

Are you east or west of the facility, Paula the precinct?

Where west we're four hundred meters from the beach at Madora Bay. Yeah, okay, so yeah, so we're a fair distance from it.

But get it.

Madora and Singleton and Golden Bay, those beautiful little sleepy joints that they have a lot of new houses too.

Yeah, there's been heaps of development here, heaps, and I think that's been part of the problem as well, because of the clearing of vegetation, and I think that stopped. But this has been going on for years. We had a holiday home not far from where we are now, and we moved in here nine years ago. I was putting in the complaint nine years ago about an odor. It was mild. Then it's it's constant. Now it's just terrible.

I'm really sorry.

You can't sit outside and have a coffee, you can't have a meal outside because it's just it's you can't sit out there. Oh no, yeah, it's uncomfortable in summer. It's very uncomfortable.

I'd love to retire at Golden Bay or Madora or Singleton and Pola and that doesn't sound sound good at all.

Well that's the problem as well. A lot of people won't plain because they're worried about the cost of you know, their house, the value of their property.

Well yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that's a really good place. And so it's when the easterly but how many I suppose It depends on the wind direction, doesn't it. So when you're in, when you're in the summer and the easterly is blowing, it's it's futrid.

I mean, last night it happened again. It wasn't as strong, but it happened again. It was around about seven thirty eight o'clock.

Yeah, that was easily was in last night, wasn't it.

Yeah, so we get it. If I don't close my bathroom door in our bedroom, it's terrible. Oh no really, So yeah, if I close the bathroom door, it's okay the en suite. But if I yeah, if I leave it open, it goes through the bedroom.

Well that's that's extraordinary. Well, Paula, you know, we'll stay on it as best we can. I mean the City of Rockingham are going after it. By the sounds of things, it's that council last side. It sounds like people are trying to do right.

Even he had had a community meeting just before Easter and we had quite a few people there complaining. He invited members of the MPs to attend. We only had the Shadow Minister for Environment attend and members of Manager City Council and Rockingham City Council.

Nine years, You've been complaining for nine years. That's amazing.

Yeah.

Hey, Paula, thank you for talking to us. I'm sorry you have to go through all that, but there's it sounds like that it's.

Just time to do something about it. It's time, but something at it.

Absolutely right, no doubt about that. Thanks Paula.

Get a Dylan, Oh here you going?

Yeah, good mate.

Yeah.

I a number of years ago I sold a back up diesel generator to the piggery up near Gingin and I had the unfortunate circumstances actually have to go there because it made it. It's that smell that you can taste. Yeah, absolutely horrible because the thing is what they understand this was a backup generator. Because they're all inside and they extract the stink out. So they've got extraction fans to

It was.

It was horrible. But if those people are smelling that going through their houses, that that is that he's not good. But the whole thing is the smell gets extracted.

Out into the air.

It's going to go go through everywhere, and yeah, it's not a good smell. I also yesterday from Kafa to poured Headlin and back and there's a cow carcass on the side of the road that just looked like.

It smells a mate. Good to talk to you now. Peter Hudson has been pushing this for a while. He's a City of Rockingham councilor he's not talking on behalf of council, but he can tell us that it was raised a council last night. Peter, good to talk to you again.

Good morning. So I'm good to follow up with you and your listeners after our chat just before Easter. And yes, yeah, right, I'm speaking on my own behalf and not on behalf of the city. But it was raised last night in a notice of my that I put and passed unanimously

Well, just talking to Paula Peter, she's lived there for nine years in Madora, and she says she can't you know, you can't go outside, and people are worried about their house.

Fadues Simon.

This is exactly what I've been hearing from the people on the ground, whether it's at the community forum or in the months since. I've been working very closely with the residents down there, and they're telling me the same thing. You know, they can't enjoy the amenity of their life. They can't, you know, they're worried about how long they can stay and retire in the area. They're worried about

Incredible, Hey, Peter, if do you get a sense talking to people, is it the piggery, Is it the mushroom composting, Is it the general composting or a combination thereof.

Look I suspect it's actually a combination of the three. And the state government doesn't seem to be completely one hundred percent certain of what it is. Even the City of Rockingham has done some investigations themselves, and they seem to think that it can be a combination of the three. Certainly, some residents have identified that they associate particular smells with the mushroom farm, for example, and then other smells with

Yeah, it's a nightmare. It sounds like a nightmare. Peter, thanks for chatting to us.

Stay on it and we'll do likewise in our own own way.

And yeah, we've got it. Something's got to happen now and someone it feels like someone's got to move.

Yeah, absolutely, mate. I think there needs to be some at least some harsher conditions impost. We've already seen that come in last year, so we definitely need more action now. And it's something I'll be continuing to fight on because that's what the people.

Of that area deserve.

Yeah, all right, thanks Peter, Thanks Tonan Peter Hudson, City of Rockingham counselor. So, Yeah, motion six hundred people to sign the petition, but that's been going on for a while, so look at least at least do were the department are acknowledging that it's taken too long been changes to the physical landscape around the precinct. Trees have been removed, buffer zone has been removed, and more houses in the area sore, more noses around there as well. Sounds absolutely awkward,

Be aware of debris and success the Quanana northbound billy A Drive. There are sheets across multiple lanes to make sure you slow down and drive it carefully. Otherwise, good news to truck break down in Bayswater Guilford Road to eastbound at Cantanning Street has been cleared.

Things are now moving safely.

I'm Rob baver on Perth Traffic Leader six PR Marxis Simon.

Does the bad smell down out of the nambe Lap Precinct past the pub sniff test mark? No, I don't think it does. As they say in France and normal Perhaps the property developers who love clearing land to make money can put their hands in their pockets and help move the industries is rob thank you, and Murray lives in Golden Bay, but it must be another planet. There is an odor at times. It's hardly a crisis. We've never had to go inside to get away from it.

Muzz.

On the subject of will Murray Watt approved the north West shelf extension for Woodside? The yeses are forty forty six, Thanks Donner. Yes, I hope so our family works in the industry in the pil We're nice to hear from you. Yes, it's forty six. And those to talk about phone charges, I've got an I've just had a quick look on my phone. I've got an iPhone eleven and that is a lightning phone charger, so the little lightning lead. So I want to talk about the things we have in

Yeah?

Thank you? What's the vampire charge?

Ah? Well, it's a it's a catchy phrase. Actually it's a Basically, what it means is a stand by power. It means that you have your charger plugged in, but your phone is disconnected and that charger draws a tiny amount of power and we call it a stand by power vampire power.

So this I've got so many questions for you, Glenn. Some some charges seeing the charge faster than others, don't they?

Yeah, they do.

And is that is that a writing that they have?

Yeah?

Well, nowadays we're actually a lot, like especially phones, a lot of them moving into the fast chargers and that's just purely for convenience. Yeah. There is a maximum amount of power that each charger can provide and depending on your device, can take it or not. It depends on the battery of your device, you can take it or not.

Yeah, And you know, I know, having having been a trade a thousand years ago, Glenn, I know enough to know that it's alternating current coming out of the wall, and the little white thing changes it to a DC current and does that does that rating and the output of that vary? And should you be charging an iPad differently to say an iPhone.

Oh, I don't think we need to worry about that assignment because devices they come with their own charges and already much to each other.

Yeah, good point.

And modern chargers, modern charge is actually when we talk about iPhones and iPads, and I think they actually communicate with the chargers, so we don't need to worry about that.

Yeah, it's amazing, it's amazing.

How do they do How do they do that? Len?

That's amazing. So we are seeing an increasing prevalence of the USB C charges now, aren't I think Apple? Apple are changing over to those, aren't they?

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have to because now the regulatory is all things they're forcing them to do that. Actually because Apple, they're not doing it out of goodness of their hearts. They want to make money. They want to sell their charges separately. But now especially in European unions, unions and other things, they have like strict regulatories that they're forcing Apple to do this because they need to be compatible with everybody.

Else, wouldn't they? I already thought it worked yet would work the other way? Gleam when they had the lightning the lightning jacks that that's that's how they made money. But and so they didn't have to use a universal lead.

Mm hmm. Well, I mean the fast charges not just for Apple, a lot of a lot of the phone charges and any things they come with fast charges nowadays the new phones are uh you have anglid phones, some Pons or whatever they have the fast charges yep.

Sure? And what in your world? And as as a citizen and as a consumer, Gland, are they do the fast charges that you put your phone on? They vary widely in how well they work, don't they? We said give them away as promotional products at the last place I worked, and they were they were sub showroom. But there are there are ones you can buy what you can use saying cafes and things that commercially that are pretty.

Quick mm hmm.

Sorry, one was the question, Yeah they are. Do you why is there such a variation in the in the the charges that you place your phone on as opposed to plug it in. What's the Why are they so different?

It just goes back to the power rating of them in terms of like like how the point is that the faster you charge your phone, you don't want to do the fast charging too often. Quite frankly, if I'm a manufacturer, I want to charge my phone with the appropriate amount of charge. If it goes too fast, it will damage the battery over time. So say I can charge my phone in five minutes if I do it like a hundred times, whereas if I charge my phone

And are you of the view, Glenn, that I branded lead and a branded charger is superior to something you'd buy at Big W or in a supermarket or in a petrol station.

I think so we need to be very careful about that. The charges that we need to buy, well, probably the stuff that you buy from Dictology and it should be okay. But I'm more worried about like stuff that people buy from online stores. There's no credibility or nothing. So every charger they need to have some sort of standards or some sort of certification that comes with it. And this goes to the safety for the efficiency and a lot of those I would say ship products they don't have that.

All right, Hey Glenn, really good to talk to you today, mate, Thanks for thanks for chatting to us about charges and leads and all of the above. Thank you, Glenn, Thank you very much. Cheers made Glenn Faravar, Doctor Glenn Farravar lecture in Power Electronics at Melbourne. You need what do you reckon? Sometimes an anecdotal thing, isn't it? Through trial and error, you know, you just know where your fune

Hey bowie, Yeah, that's right. So I'm here in Murdoch right now. I can see if your own a Stanley in the distance, and it's we're at the site of where the new Women and Babies Hospital in Murdoch will be and the state government has signed a contract with builder we Build for the construction of this one point

Yeah, Madie, good report, comprehensive as always made. I'm wrecking my brain here, but I think we build it. Haven't built a hospital in Australia previously, that's correct.

So he was asked about that they haven't built in Australia, but they have built two hundred hospitals elsewhere around the world, so they're using that experience, they say, to bring to this one. Yeah, two hundred hospitals internationally by we build.

Yeah, all right, world, I'm Maddie. And did you say all the health ministers sorry.

Health minister and health infrastructure just so yeah kind of you know.

There is the well, there is four of them my VIGs. Are you spot on? Hey, Maddie, Thank you comprehensive, Thanks for talking to our listeners and we'll hear you report during the day.

Thank you, Maddie.

Cross from our newsroom, metal and cross from our newsroom. So it's been signed. It's on we build, going to do the job. They haven't built hospitals in Australia before, there was some criticism about that, but they built hospitals around the world, so it's it's a goer on that site, that contentious site. It's going ahead and it'll be finished by twenty twenty nine. Thanks for listening. Twelve and a half minutes to eleven, Yes, no question, which will keep

He will do?

Will you approve it? Not? Do you want him to? But will either?

Yes?

Is a forty six that knows are two talking about phone charges?

Hi, Damien heys simon, he mate, good mate.

So what the guy was talking about with the phone charges is pretty much going on in regards to you can have two phone charges that look very similar. The key point is what the wattage is of the actual charger itself. That's the crucial bit, not whether it works on twelve volts or whether it works on two forty volts or anything like that. Most charges in your cars will only be five what Sometimes you'll get a car with a USB see in it that might be a

Very good, Damien, and you know all this.

Just a geek mate of heart. Good on you.

Hey, Damien, is there there's a third type of jack? Isn't there? From memory? There's it's the one I use on my Google Chrome Cast. I don't think it's a it's not a USB. Third one isn't there?

Yeah?

So you've got you've got USBC, you've got the light in jack, you've got your micro that your micro and

Yeah, Damion, thank you very much for calling in.

Mate. You explain it really well. Cheers, Biddy, Thank you. Mate.

Lee says, it's the watages, not the pinky punks. I don't know what that means. It's funny ever heard in sixty two years the phrase pinky punks before? But do appreciate it. Brenda says Simon. We can get three bags of ice for twelve dollars and three charges for ten dollars, cold beers and charging devices while we watch the football.

How good?

It's not bad, is it? Brandon? I mean we win sometimes, but We're going pretty good, power steering beat showers, got a health get a zeno.

Good Simon.

How are you going good mate?

Hey, thanks for the offer too to landscape the train station, saven Carlo.

I appreciate it.

Always happy to help the labor government try and get their trained stations open on time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just on the state government awarding this hospital construction contract to we Build. I believe we Build is owned by an Italian company, and I'm just wondering why this state Labor government has awarded this multi million dollar contract to an Italian company. I realized they're based in Australia, but I thought they were trying to promote Australian companies and we build trains in Wa and all that sort of thing.

Yeah, you know, thank you, Matam. I I reckon it would have gone out to tender. It's a good point from you, thanks Zino. It's four and a half minutes to eleven o'clock. I guess you know, a lot of these multinationals do have an Australian trading arm. Or trading component to them, just sort of talking, you know, in the absence of knowing. But I do think it does happen a fever, and I think it would have gone to tender zine. I'll try and find out a little

Really?

If it's a health issue, yes, to deal with it. If not, certainly complain, but hardly a crisis entitled retirees Jeane. They can't go it side, they can't sit outside. Jeane'slucky enough to be in Bustleton, but nothing's perfect yet. Mozzi's down there don't you, Gene, But yeah, Gene's it's bad enough for people not be able to sit outside in Thedora Bay, which is a which is a nice spot and light busto. Will your nice place to retire to?

Now? Yes?

No question is will Murray watch the federal environments that will we approve the Northwest Shelf Extension forward side? Not what you hope he does, but what you think he will do. The yes is a fifty one the noose of four people very optimistic. It's time for this.

The beautiful mind of Michael Collis Simon. Mama terrific to sue you too? You too? Where would you like to retire to? Or you happy where you are? Pretty? Yeah?

Because you can just stay in the same driving the same three roads for the rest of your life.

Exactly have you retired? I'm so much to leave. Yeah, semiary time, but more by circumstances than by choice.

We have had some suggestions from our listeners that you might want to join this special panel which state government run. It's they go around and need to take smells. Yeah right, it's an odor panel.

That's a job. Really, I got short listed for a job. I've got an email this morning one I applied for. They said you've been shortlisted, but now that project's not going ahead. So whether that's a nice way for them to say you didn't get it? What's that?

Yeah? Yeah, be shortlisted, but unfortunately the projects go, h got that this morning? How did you feel when it happened, Well, despondent.

I was happy because your short list. I thought that's good with this, but unfortunately so it kind of was a real roller coaster of emotions.

I think you're very good and I think you'd be a wonderful employee for someone, especially if the project is going ahead. Exactly the State of Oranges on tonight, So let's quickly touch on that it's been brought on six PR, which is unreal. You have broadcast state of origin for this station previously. You are your heart is your is Rugby Union. But you love the leagues, don't you?

I do. I was brought up in a very league family, in a league on in the western suburbs of Sydney, very league and origin is one of those things where you don't even need to watch the game at any other time during the year, but as a contest, if you're not, even if you're interested in sport. If you just like watching all the passion that sport brings, this Origin is just fantastic. For me, it's better than Grand Finals.

How good is he? He's great Valentine Holmes, cam Manster. Daddy Cherry is the captain, thirty six years old. DC ruben Cott, Yeah amazing, ain't he on the other side, on the blue side, and they are missing, they are missing. If here's a few big names out, Cody Walker and those sorts of blokes out of the Maroons, but the Blues dealing there with Crichton, Latrell Mitchell could do anything, couldn't he. Moses Nathan Cleary one of.

The best of all time. Yeah, still talk about big game players. That guy just when Yeah it's tough. He's one of those players that everyone's watching him, but he can still make things happen.

Payne Haas Isaiah Oo is the captain. So on tonight Campbell Graham's playing as well. So on tonight on six PR. You can watch it on the nine network as well. So can't wait, Let's go.

And there's a guy just there's a guy called Brian who's the wing it for New South Wales and his this bloke because so much of sport is sterile and sanitize now and they've all got their conditioners and their dieticians. His pre game meal he has two breakfast burgers, a bowl of chips and six cans of diet coke. That's his pre good.

What would Julie Meat make of that?

That's right, they'd be shutting it down. Yeah, so it's Rex. You had that when he was about fourteen and played really well. So now he has that every day when he plays. That's his that's pre game meal.

You and I have watched a lot of great sport at the Shoe Bar over the years. Yes, and it's a place to go tonight if you are in Perth and looking for somewhere to go.

He go.

Paul Higgins Joints is the manager of the Shoe Bart. He go, Mick and Simon.

How are you very good? Thanks?

Bowie?

How are you?

He go? Good?

Thanks a night of nights tonight. You get a crowd and you reckon.

Oh always every state of Oregon, especially Game one, there's a real buzz and a sense of urgency. You've got to get off to a flyer when there's only a best of three, so you really want to win the first. And that's the hardest game.

I reckon.

It's always really low scoring. It's really just hit twice as hard. I don't know, it's really the game one's where you want to be at and we've always got We've got a good crowd tonight for sure.

Yeah, he go. I know people do go to the shoe to watch so well. I remember being at your joint one night and it was went into early in the morning. Was it was the final of the World Cup, and I'm pretty sure it was. I might have been Spain, France, I think from memory, he go, And then it was Argentina. Yeah, and it was packed with a lot of a lot of students, a lot of the young students.

Hey, yeah, a lot a lot of Yeah that that study here obviously the word gets out of where they all want to go and they want to watch it all together, and that just that numbers blew out. That was really really good night when they won. Oh my goodness, Jag and Square just went next level. It was just a just party, dancing and singing and sport. Sport's one of those things, isn't it. It Just everyone just gets into it, gets involved and really takes you away.

Yeah, especially especially this one. I remember Glenn cortermain lost his car keys that night.

He goes, you're wonderf you The found had a briefcase to involved brief.

Hell, of course if you're listening mad, do you have to do anything specially, do you're forgetting two he's new in or any four x or anything odd?

Really just so they all book, they all, you know, so many they wear their colors, they get in early. Yeah, they're just just really they're really into it and it's it's just great. They sort of as Nick said that they're built different. They really, they really are. But no, no,

It's a divide. It really is who do you like tonight?

He go?

Who gets up?

Well, that's a huge stat that the Queensland have only been beaten twice in a row in thirty years at home New South Wales. Obviously it's their time at the moment. There have been the team that have been taking it on the last couple of years, taking it back from Queensland that was so dominant for so long. But are probably going to go to the home team, get get on the underdogs and sheer Queensland at night.

Yeah, or I might have a good night. Give Joe and Carl a cuddle for us.

Yeah, we'll do, mate, No worries, Thank you, thank you going yeah.

You mate, see you there very very very soon. Where do you reckon? Through Australia and the Cuojiebay Hotel comes to mind. One of the biggest pubs in Australia sells the most beer of any pub in Australia, even more so the Camfield sells more on game day the Couoljie Bay Hotel. On a week to week basis, it sells the most beer of any pub in Australia.

Well.

Two schooners of new Things. Where do you like as well as the shoe bar? Where do you like going to watch a big game or a big event?

I like watching it at home. That's probably not the answer after was it because I like just being able to watch it Otherwise people are talking to you and it's you know, I liked you bet, I just concentrate. But I used to go the Paddo. That was always good up in Mount Hawthorne.

Good for league and union.

Yeah.

Yeah, if you if you went out and talked to people and socialized, maybe you'd find work. You got on people better, That's true. Now we got a couple of I love some of the topics you sent into this this week. Tell us what you'd like to talk about today.

I've got I've got a lot of things on to talk about. So are we starting or we just what are we doing? It's what we do? We do? How do we do this?

Just what you're in your you have the film today? What is coming up? Tell our listeners what's coming up and then then we'll chat about it.

So I want to talk about dress codes. What do you mean about what's appropriate to where when? And I've got a little bit of a thing that made me think of that the other day. I'd like to talk about doves. I'd like to talk about Dolvis, Jetnamese rice, paper rolls, do O V E S yep? And I'd like to talk about my bank thinks I'm racist? Do they?

I saw Facebook suggested some friends for you the other day.

How it's that? Who was it? Who gets young from ac DC?

You might, someone you might know will be friends with. I thought, how the hell have they said that i'd be friends with Angus Young?

I don't know, mate, but mind he's been introverted as well. He probably want to watch sport at times. Of course again seventeen pass eleven. Thanks for your thoughts today, will come back in just a moment. Mick Colins is with us. We the phone lines are open one double three eighty two. Mark the farmer's been in touch me, he says, you have tell me if I have a job here on my farm near Lake at Grace. Must have good he

Yeah, I had a leaking toilet, yes, right, And so I googled, got on worked out what possibly could be wrong with it. So I've gone to Bunnings because it was the middle cylinder bit. So I've gone to Bunnings and bought one of those, brought it down. What was the wrong one, So to go back to Bunnings get my money back on that, got another one that was the wrong one. I've pulled this thing apart, changed all

Yes, you doing that to your ablutions? Is that illegal? He's supposed to get a plumber to do it. If so, why the Bunting sell that stuff? I don't think lights, isn't it. I think electricity. You're not meant to do your own electrical work. But I think minor plumbing like that. I'm sure there's probably some big plumbing you shouldn't do. But surely fixing it toll? How hard can that a major project? Aren't doing the piping to a stadium?

Exactly? Something about that? But if it's just a leaking.

Toilet twenty two minutes past eleven, if you've got a job for Mick know. We had a politician on today, Adam hork Good Bloat by all accounts, called me Shane. Oh really, first time ever ever interviewed him?

Is you?

Opposition spokesperson on Please Matters called me Shane. This is the most famous Shane, isn't it?

Oh? Bowl chain? Nice? Nice? What do you call you? Shane? Of course? Can we talk about Anne?

So Anne's having a baby thirty one weeks this Friday.

Yeah, and so the baby's due on the first of August, which is the horse's birthday. So we think she should give the name it after a horse, kybe diva or we think if it was Deramusdramus Barclay, that kids playing NBA.

Kingston Town Kingston Barklay. Honestly, she could set that kid up for life. It strangely, I mean, I've been advocating for simone after yourself. Yeah, because she thinks it might be might be And I know Ann's mum is probably listening today and Anne's family, hello to you.

Doramis's shortenings. I've got a mate. I've got a mate. And every every son in the family going back to the eleven hundreds had the name Robert as either the first name or the second name. And this made of mine forgot. So he is the one that has stopped a family history that dated back to eleven hundred. What would you do if that was your mate? His own them? I wish I hadn't told you that. I can't believe you did tell you things in confidence? Believe you forgot

Yeah, sorry, Simon. Robert Beaumont, my dad's victor Robert Beaumont. And my dad said to him me, what have.

You done there? Mate? Yeah? Daniel Jacob, what have you done there? Did you know? Did you know that all the previous? I think I did?

But I think I just panicked, right I panicked?

Or were you in your young rebellious stage?

No, I just panicked. I got it wrong. Yeah, I mean he's twenty five and there's a great but twenty sixty, A great bloke that he should be Daniel Robert Beaumont. One of the grants for telling you everybody the great stuff ups dress codes.

Mick dress codes. So I was so't know if you're walking along West Coast Drives it up from say Trigg the Hillary, Yes, that's straight West Coast Drive, West Coast Strike. And the apparel that young women wear when they walk, they wear those very small shorts active wear, active wear and the little it's like a crop top, crop top, like a bikini, sports sports bar kind of thing, and that's what they exercising, and sometimes they go shopping and all that sort of stuff. So I think that that

I think every now and then you see people getting kicked off planes for wearing revealing clothing. I think, do you what do you think.

I just I just found it odd seeing this girl in there. She have a yoga mat with her. No, no, no, she was just getting on the flavor Pilate's reformer machine with her. That was just her dumbells. She was just getting on the plane kettle drums in that thong, those little.

Top that was just her that he was just sitting there.

How she went my T shirt.

On or anything, jumper, No, no, just that.

So I don't know, I don't know. I just I just it struck me as odd. I just stood out because she was the only one dressed like that in the whole airport. What are you wearing? A planter? My Lulu lemons. They're comfortable. They're like a pant but also a tracksuit pant, and it's about the sweat shirt. And I always take a top because I find virgin air conditionings freezing on virgin middle of summer. You can you need to jump on about you. I love those things.

Good about your little lemons, And I forgot about Jane Lego, the lady of the beautiful hair, still got good hair. Yeah, I reckon she would one double three eight of do today? Is Mick right? So he's backed off a little bit. He said, it's odd.

I think it is idea like, I'm not going to say I'm an old bloke and that's you know, you shouldn't be wearing that. But I is that appropriate to wearing a plane? Is it just me? Or mind the majority of the minority. I don't know. I don't know. If you have done yoga? Yeah, how you have?

Yeah, it's good in that. Well, no, mat.

It's too hard. Yeah, some of the things when I make this stand in these posers and the lady goes, and the lady goes, Okay, breathe in, and for this dart's already gone. I've breathed thirty times, and she's tells me how to breathe out. I've already done that, lady. I find it too hard.

It is hard. Yeah, I'm with you. But you and I go to the gym. We do the same thing every time.

Yeah. Well I've had to modify made plan because I've got a shoulder. Yeah yeah, yeah.

That's why I've had to stop yoga one number three eight two. Is there anybody listening and we've got a pretty good audience when Micky's on. Is there any bloke listening who owns some Lulu Lemon pants? Is there anybody else in Perth, Western Australia or on the app, around the country, around the world who owns a Pierre?

My friend Mark Skiffington owns Lulu Lemon pants.

He doesn't count why because you probably told.

Him should No. I got him off him. He bought him first and he told me they're like a Traxit pant, but a pant.

Is you're anyone listening apart from Mick Corlis Mar Skivington who's in the Australians Sodoku team, who wears Lululemon pants.

You'll be surprised how many people do it and we will get.

Calls how many how many people are going to ring?

I reckon four four? Yeah, I reckon zero. No. There will be definitely people that wear them or know someone that wears them.

They are very Zandy good blue pants, Lily lemon pants. You've never tried them, sure, Lindsay actually possibly ten Verz Robbie Beaver are definitely know one leuble, three A two. What's the white is the bank? While they're making judgments on you.

I've got two friends, Sarah Kaht. I've got more than two, but in this particular story, Sarah can't. And Karen white Now, I've known Whitey for thirty years Sarah probably about the same period of time for my days. When I was at Woodside. It was Karen's birthday the other day, and Sarah bought a present and I was giving Sarah some money towards that present. So I've got on my bank to do the online transfer and as the reference, I've put Mike money for Whitey said, and my banks come

That's it Whitey with a capital W yep wow.

So the A and said bank, there's someone in that bank, and their job has decided that if I write whitey as a reference, that I'm not allowed to do that. Yeah, I don't like that, Mike.

I'm not coming.

I don't like that at all. I don't like that. Like whose job's that? Who? And who's thought We've got to employ someone to mark these standards for people that are putting a reference for a payment. Someone's overlooking that.

It might be a computer, might be an algorithm, but who's someone's decided that that has to hats true. The machine just hasn't said I'm looking to do it. Someone's made that decision to say I can't write the word whitey when I'm transferring money with a capital W with a capital double. Clearly it's a It's a proper Michael has phoned in on Lulu Lemon, Can they Michael?

Yeah, I've got pants, tops and shorts and how good are they? They're good quality that you get what you face for. Ye I thought with clothing, I've never been a big spender, but that stuff, I've noticed the difference.

Put it that way and the pants you like, is it a long pant?

Pants?

Shorts?

And I've got about.

Four or five tops do you wear them?

Yeah, you notice the difference compared to added ass and all that.

What color are they?

Black?

I like where this is going. One level three aady two. I'd love to hear from you today. You also have seen something in airport seeing something in an airport with someone applying makeup a very young person.

I see a lot of things in the airport, and there was a kid and again I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but this kid would have been five or six, and the kids a girl for a girl, little girl, and she had eyeshadow?

One.

Is that too young? I looked. I thought that kid looks a bit young for ieshadow? Is that too? I would have thought?

So?

How like, how old you've got.

God, you've been getting singles too, wouldn't he?

Yeah, Oh yeah, I think so. You been tong though, Louly Lemon Dave.

Yeah, I hear my daughter talking about it with their friends.

I thought lemons she was closed.

So until the captain. Until the captain was wearing him, and he told me about them. But they've got a whole men's sections in there. I would never have gone into I saw him, so they've got a big men's section.

They might have made. I don't know if I'm telling too many people. You've got Lulu lemons on.

You can't knock until you try it. I would have been the same, but I've broadened my horizons and they're very very good.

Yeah, and Nick voted yes in the reference.

Stephen, Hello, Stephen, good morning, gentlemen.

I just wanted to talk about AI for a second.

Mm hm.

You know Mick was talking about obviously putting the reference in with the A in said banks. Yes, I know people in the banking sector and the recruitment sector and they use everything for AI right down. So if you go for a home loan down, if AI pick up anything at all from your parts or anything else could be twenty years ago, they can define you. The same with recruitment. If you go for a job, you could

So what's it looking for If it's not giving you a job? If it's picking you as not suitable for that role, well, what's it fining in your past?

I haven't been told about that, No one knows. But it just picks up things and then it just won't even put your forwards to the job.

Wow.

So we were my last job, we had a we had AI will do an initial search and rank people according to criteria, but we only use it as a guy because often it'd be someone. You know, you get one hundred applications, that'll be someone sitting at sixty or seventy who's worth a look. So it's it is used a lot, so I AI ranks people. So before it goes to a human, AI looks at all the reasons that have.

Been sent in.

Yep, he does. Yeah, wow, Yeah, there's a lot of programs to do it, isn't there, Steve and I yeah, yeah, thanks mate. I reckon. You know, I'm dubious about AI because of the job we do. You want to hear human beings talking about stuff, don't you so? And we you know, we write all our own stuff, mostly.

Because I know there's these matrixes because that's that. Yes, one of the other jobs that I got told I got all c's for everything that I thought I could do. I got Marketers a C. So I reckon that I didn't write it the way AI wanted to read it.

Yeah, and look, can I say for I have a go on this, but mitworked for Ford some contract work for for us now a bed a really good job. Thanks some yeah, really good, really good writer.

I only did it once. Yeah, I was never asked back.

Yeah.

Well then we filled the spot. We feel the job right and you didn't apply it. Well, you could have told me that it was open.

Well have you heard a seek?

It's a new thing helps you find.

A job mate. I thought I've had a mate there that I've done some work.

I'll spell it for you to double m y yeah Hill and the garden gardens for Tasmin. Jeff, you are very funny. How much did the plumber change you make for the toilet work?

He's going to invoice me, so I don't know. It could be anything. I think it'll be because I narrowed it down. I've had morning. On the morning of I actually rang Reese because I worked it out that I reckon. It was one particular what I changed everything else. There was one thing and I rang them, but they had it then stopped and I thought, I got a drive there, pick it up, bring it home, puleving a part again

In the meantime, when it toilet wasn't working with doing your ablutions in.

The garden, I was just turning the water off at night out the front because there's only leaking. Wasn't because there's a little tap next to the toilet, but that wouldn't turn the whole way off, so I'd turn it off but the mains. So I shut everybody down because I couldn't stand that dripping noise.

I think you could add on project management to your CV are impressive. We'll come back with that. You know how many spud chairs there are? I guessed fifteen sandy guests thirty. Mit went with four. Oh ten, I got got up to ten, did you? Yeah, okay, it's started with four. I think I'm nearest the pin status.

Mick.

We've been talking about the smell coming out of the area Narron Belup, which is which is east of Quanana Rockingham out there, and the smell when the Eastly's in. Does that down to Mydora? But I've never been down that way Singleton? Yeah no, I went to go with you one day but it was too hot.

Yeah. Where's that called? What was the town mailabup?

What's it called? Am naram Beelup nam Beelup Nambeela. You live near a sewerage treatment plant, Yeah.

Which I didn't know, but I say this is the one at Shetton Park because I used to train with Union Rugby club down at McGilvray Oval fourth Grade, UWA Sports Park.

And who was your patron? Who was your number one ticket holder?

Oh? We had We had Bree Maddocks for a number of years. She was terrific. She was trific, but on some nights until the wives got rid of it. If the no, the wives all like that. She was great. She was very welcoming. Everyrom went on summer nights where the wind would be coming the wrong way. Yeah, it used to stink down there, but that was that was twenty years ago, so I haven't spelled it since then. I remember in that late nineties, early two thousands. Yeah, it was horrendous.

Yeah, so you live reasonably closer there, so that we scored it the poop farm. We used to do some exercise and I used to work at super Dramas. It was call back then yep, and that did smell I reckon. They've changed their treatment of the there, so it now smells more like detergent as opposed. So where is the where's the factory east of Brockway, eastern Brockway, because there's thepposite mcgilroth.

There's like the tip like the recycling plant, so not that near that.

No, it's neat. It's behind those trees. There's all these there's a fence and there's all these trees like a buffer, and that's him behind there, so you wouldn't smell it anymore. And then beat ups Cigaret harvest Ingleton and Lakelands with Door Bay Golden Bay, can they Neil.

Simon just going back to what Nick was talking about walking along West Coast Drive and getting on the planes

Yeah, it's just around the corner. Basically, they probably buy their potatoes from there for their potato curry.

Yeah, they probably do one double three eight, Ady SiO, I'd like to speak to Darren today.

Anything you're like this time of year with the weather's come in.

You and I talked about this last week and getting your your pots and your plants and your gardens ready for the weather. So hopefully people have done that. More rain on horizon too.

It's supposed to a little bit tomorrow, a lot more Friday, and then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Tuesday's forecast is for between three or thirty, so it could be three or it could be ten times that amount. Yeah, it's they're not really hitting the bulls eye with the dart. It's like somewhere in the vicinity of a tiny bit or a lot.

A related product question, and I do have a pestoral product in my home which works pretty well on the benches. When the rain comes in, do you get rats and mice?

You'll probably see the rats and mice move out of some of their areas because they might get flooded out, so you'll get them relocating.

Yeah, there's a lot of a round persons.

I can never remember there being so many issues with rats and gardens as the last probably six or seven years.

Amazing.

Yeah your joint, Yeah occasionally, yeah, yeah, they don't last long in my place.

We spoke about the poly fakers shothole borer on the program yesterday, Darren and we talked to a bloke who's had to cut down three big trees he lives in color Under, including a moulberry tree, a big mulberry tree probably, I think he said it was. I think he said it was ten meters high, and it was okay with you. I said that you would give him a new tree from the Burlong Tree Farm.

Yeah, that's not a.

Problem, is that all right?

Yeah, I'll give it to him and I'll invoice you. I'll invite six pr and just see if we get.

The first.

And I've guess it's a very very good answer. If you like to, if you like to contact us, you can and just in some breaking news, is that right? Anna and Sean listeners, you're on the money, You're on the money. Sorry, to interrupt the segment DAZ, but this is important with it on this for months now. Australia's new Environment Minister Murray Watt has given Woodside the green light to keep running the assets out to twenty seventy.

Hi, Hey you going good? Thanks Garon. I've got this so called tree, but it's a weed. It's growing probably up to twelve forty more and it just keeps going, very hard to dig out, no flowers. It's terrible. Rang the egg department end up getting the guy. He's already be tired. I got him at home.

So so you want to get rid of it.

You want to get rid of the red weed.

I want to find out what it is to get rid of it?

Yeah, yeah, is it on your front? Verge in the house. Yeah, if it's on the verge, you could call the council. Yeah, you probably need to just get some one of your local guarding people come out and have a look at it and try and identify it for you. And if it is a weed species, which it certainly sounds like it is. There's a lot of a lot of plants to just pop up in people's gardens that if you turn your back on them, they grow really fast and get out of control.

So the sooner the better.

But I just get one of your local garden gardening crews around, have a look at it, tell you what it is, and give your.

Price to cut it out.

Yep. Oh, thanks Darren.

Thanks, good on, you have a good day. Good to hear from you today. Thank you, Linny, it's very nice.

Good a Basil, Thanks Simon.

Questions, are roses devastated by chili thrip and we decided to pull them out?

They're in flower boxes. But I was told that there's no point putting back roses again because of the same spot.

Is that correct?

Oh?

Yeah, definitely, Basil.

If you if you're getting chili trip on your roses in a garden bed at the moment and you take those ones out, get rid of them, even if you let the ground sort of sit there for twelve months, the chances of you getting new put planting new roses and them also getting infected with chili thrip is very very high because there's obviously populations of chili thrip in the area, so it's not just your garden with chili thrip all around around your suburb, and that's why you're

So there's no point in putting back putting new ones.

In what you say, no not if you haven't been able to control them in your garden already and you're to a point where you're ripping the existing roses out, us I wouldn't be keen on just putting new roses back.

Thank you very much, Thanks Basil, cheers mate your current suggest a treatment if Basil or others do want to press.

On, Yeah, we're still going with the success ultra in about five to six days after that kneem oil and then another sex success ultra.

There is a lot of gardens top of it under the leaves yet yeah, all over it yeah, make.

Sure you thoroughly soak the leaves.

I do know a few gardens though, that's where they're getting really great results, just going out with the hose and spraying the whole roses down sort of three or four times a week during the middle of the day. And because the chili threw it like a lot of insect pests like drier conditions, the theory is that it's knocking the thrips, actually physically knocking them off the roses into the mulch and they can't get back out and

I reckon you balk doing that, because as soon as you spray your rosebush, all the flowers go flying, don't they.

Yeah, they will do.

If you've got a nice dere's a bit of water pressure behind you.

Yeah.

Yeah, if you get in there, Why Mary, just soaking them. Is it not not physically knocking them off the plant? Yeah, it is the physically knocking them off the parts.

That's a combination of both things.

So they drop off into the mulch and then they can't get out of the mulch and back up onto the plant.

Yeah all right, thanks Darren. If you'd like to speak to Darren your cad and Todd's semesters to say to say he has spotted too that Murray what has extended the woodside thing?

Thanks Todd.

Bernie said it's been approved as well. Thanks listeners. Thanks for respotting that for us and being being part of the show. We really appreciate it. We'll try and talk to someone from the WA government to see if they received the letter an email from from Murray what at this stage fifteen minutes past twelve or as normal people.

Say, what do they say?

Quarter past quarter past twelve? Just on spudsheds? Tony from Baldivers, could ay, Tony? Always good to hear from you that there'll be eighteen spudsheds? I think might be nineteen because Bumbury is getting one. I think how good he's getting one as well, so it could be nineteen.

Thanks. Are they all twenty four hour days? Don't think?

So?

Is the one in kelm scott Is and there's always people in the car Partner, What time you go past it in the morning?

Yeah? Yeah?

The two near me interlou and the one, the one off Erinde Road, the one on the other side there sort of bulgarish. Yeah, they're twenty four hours. That's noting that, like who's who's going out buying a bag of potato at.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Yeah, well, must work, yeah, must work people. Do you know they're very profitable and sustainable. Joe good A ring Darren one double three at eighty two, Mojie, you've only ever been one year?

Whole life?

Yep, I think it's the first one. I had a business meeting down at the Baldives drivers one. Yeah didn't it wasn't me. Yeah, you suggest that it's just you burn down. I think the original spots did have a fire, and that one was part of a farm.

Yeah. Farm. Yeah, yeah, that's the only one I've ever been to.

Speaking of rats, I used to run through there a bit, I think. But that's okay, good o, Tony. If you listen how often this from Joe good A, Joe, how often should olive trees produce? But a small olive tree from a nursery had fruit the second year, no fruit since it's about five years old, thanks Joe.

Well, it should produce every year, like they may have a bit of variation in the volume of crops. They might have a really heavy crop one year and a much lighter crop the following year, but they should still produce some olders every single year. Once they start fruiting, they should be in a fruiting mode where they're fruiting every year. If it's not fruiting, probably need to have a look see if it's actually growing, is the root

Yeah, there you go, Joe, well, answered Darren. Thank you. Mark from West Perth. What is the best time to prune a fig tree?

We best time prune prune a fig tree is when they're completely bare of foliage of back end of winter, so July August it's the best time. They'll all the leaves dropped off, Plus the sap flow slows down significantly, so when you're pruning them, you're getting less of that white caustic stat dropping out of them, and you can prove them as.

Hard as you like.

Mark the figs we grow for our gardens for fruit, fruit on new growth, So the harder you cut them back, you'll keep the size down and you also be able to access that new growth when it's covered in fruit. And if you have issues with birds all that sort of things, you can net them more easily as well.

I've heard you say to me, but also to JB on the weekends to Jamie, Hello, Jamie, if you're listening, now's the time to get onto the weeds so they don't become out of control as we head towards spring. If say you were check giving some advice to someone who's got a bit of psiotica. Yeah, finds it hard to move around. It's such as a good sound, such a good self. Can you use can you use chemicals? It was mechanical still the best.

It depends on the type of weeds and how many, how much you've got. So, if you've got weeds that set our perennial weeds so there they pop up year after year, chemical sprays best way to control those because pulling them out just encourages them. Basically, Yeah, wherever they snap off from the ground. They'll reshoot from those roots. If they are annual weeds. Yeah, you can easily just go around with the whole and knock them over and

You do that at your home.

My wither, don't let me get a flame gun. I nearly burnt our property down one time. So he's very strict on what I'm allowed to set on fire.

Now.

She's very strict at what I'm allowed to set on fire.

Now.

She's a lucky girl, very lucky.

We are expeaking a statement from Woodside folks in the next half an hour and they'll bring that to you. I'd you know if it's official, if the state government have heard from Woodside that the contract has been extended. Will try and talk. We have got calls in to Woodside as well. Maybe we can talk to them today or maybe tomorrow. On your behalf, I'm not sure what can't speak on allus behalf, but I guess he'll be

Thank you.

I'd love to hear from you. This one here from Rob lived in Meadow Springs thirty five years ago. Could smell a pig joint back then the series Treatment Far not far away on Gordon Road, and Rob makes mentioned that there's a place in the city in West Perth. I don't think he's Juma House with his odd smell comes out of there one double three A Daddy two. We mentioned the weather conditions, you know, last week we talked about maybe putting a bit of feed around the

That can work really well.

And I think it's spoken about looking out for airs and your lawns that where the water's not soaking in really well air rap get a wedding agent. It's because otherwise those section of your lawn by the end of winter will end up rotting out altogether and you'll be really a long way back in the challenge of having a nice.

Lawn at the start of spring. Colfield, Colfield, that's it. I've been trying to remember the name of Darren's oldest kid since he got here today, and he gave us the clues of race. Yeah, Corf, you call him Coffee Cof. Yeah, yep.

Ken's phone in coud I.

Ken, good ay boy, and good day Darren. My back lawn is crak and it's never been a great lawn, but there are big pictures of it that have completely dyed like you're walking on dead roots. Now I understand dead roots, and I reckon I've got mole crickets in it. Is that a possibility?

Yeah, you could have mole crickets kenna, But mol creates only really tend to be an issue with lawns if the lawn's otherwise unhealthy. You know, if there's other issues going on, so the soil is not supporting the health of the lawn, the lawn becomes stressed and unhealthy, and that's when you find pest tend to move in and

Like, if you've got mole crickets, they're very easy to kill.

But the insect a side is a broad spectrum insect a side, so that's going to kill all.

The insects in your guard, not just some mild crickets.

So I'd be looking at those sort of things first before really worrying about trying to knock off the mole crickets.

Yeah, the soil is rubbish, it's terrible. Yeah, I live in then there are parts of Byfoot where the soil is really really bad, and in one of them, so it's.

Probably trying to renovate the soil.

Yeah. I haven't been able to put the granular fertilizer on because it sticks to the dog's feet and the traps it through the house. Yeah, so liquid fertilizer okay.

Yeah, liquid fertilizer.

Has some good quality wedding agent, liquid wedding agent like aquiforce, and apply that if you get that down, the aqule force down before the rain comes, I'll really soak it into your soil, drag it down to the sore profile, which will help the water follow that through and.

Get down deep into your sore. Thanks for that, Thanks Ken, Thanks Ken.

Good name, Corfield. It is a great name, really good name. When we want to embarrass in front of his makes be calling him coffee. Really good name, good good choice by you, guys, Now, Harry, it was you.

It was me.

It was all me, all right, and they Yeah, I am disappointing your lady. Use naked flame only weeds around your house. Zeno reckons is a thing. Is a thing you get from Bunning. Xeno's works in the in the area, he says, wonder weeder from Bunning.

He's ever heard of one of those? No, I think I know what it will be though.

There's a few like these weeds that you push them in, maybe turn a handle and it sort of twists in the ground and pulls the weed out, roots and all.

Yeah, okay, that will also worked for a big weeds, not the crabgrass kind of stuff.

And turn your retick off this week. Yeah yeah, by the first joon.

It's the great switch off irrigation switch off promoted as so Harry's from Hilton and he's asking you about I think we talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Daz falling out of love with roses. Yep, hard work, you know, don't always produce chili thrips in issue. And that's I'm in probably the same boat as Harry. Harry from Hilton gave up on roses a couple of weeks ago, bug them out. Any thoughts on what he could replace them with.

Yeah, it's a bit of.

A challenge, mainly because the reasons roses are so popular because they do so many good things. They're in color in flower in Perth probably the best part of ten months of the year, so you've got that constant color from the flowers, and they're really hardy other than.

Dealing with chili thrips, you know, they do grow so well. Here.

Probably the closest I can think of to a rose as far as you're not going to get the perfume, but for color and just year round looking great is a dwarf Bogavillia, one of the bambino bogavilliers.

So they are available in a range of colors.

Simless roses not the big spectrum that roses are, but there's still plenty of to choose from, and they have color on them best part of ten months. The Yeah, early spring, you give them a hard prune as well to keep them in check, and then they'll shoot back and be in color again by the middle of September, and then you can compliment those with something like day lilies and marguerite daisies to really fill the area out with more color.

Are you a fan of the rose community. I love roses. Yeah, yeah, I think they're gray plants.

And we've got quite a few roses around around that dotted around in pots at our place in pots. Yeah, we don't have chili thrip up in the rolling Stone area as yet, which I'm pleased to know.

Yeah, so, yeah, I think roses are fantastic.

It's really it's been devastating for the gardening community the effect that chili thrips had.

Yeah, no doubt about. We've been talking about it for years now, haven't we, four or five years, like decades chili thrip. We was get a chili thrip call. But yeah, that that notion of falling out of love with it and so much endeavor you put into roses and they just get belted by these little things.

So yeah, it just becomes a lot of work for people. Yeah, it does.

I just want to thank our my team, my producers. Since we heard about Woodside, my god, I have put calls into Roger Cook, the Premier, Murray wat the federal Environment Minister Woodside and also David Michael who's the Environment Minister.

Now.

So thanks to my team. They're good, aren't they Yeah, very good. Elat Yeah they are. You look good, yeah they are. They do make me look good.

Thank you, mate.

I will hear you of JB six to eight Saturday and Sunday.

Yeah, definitely in this week. Yes, I am. I had one day off lass because I was sick. How's his garden going, JB.

You're winning him over?

Yeah, yep, yeah, he's getting Now I think I'm going down to have a look at maybe doing a little bit of work for him. Really make his guard look even better, right, speaking of invoices, Yeah, don't miss him.

Oh wait, a few very agents color of Zeros, color eas zero, A good time and on budget. Dareth thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for filling in for suit for the last three weeks, My pleasure, your ripper. We're lucky to have you, Thank you, Mabe. Yeah, thanks mate. His wife's a lucky girl and we're lucky to have him. It's twenty nine minutes to one o'clock. That was Darren Senior. You'll hear him with Jamie Burnett six to eight on

You, Simon, good afternoon. The federal government has approved the extension of the Northwest Shelf Gas Project after lengthy delays what side will be allowed to operate the facility off the North Coast for north West Australian Coast for another forty years. Strict environmental conditions have been imposed, with the Resources Company given ten days to respond to those limitations. The Premier says the tragic death of a young boy in Perths out of Suburbs as a reminder of the

Thank you very much, John, let's do this.

And now the fourth most talented musician in his family. Newsreader extraordinai for Viya of Gondiments and Small Goods while watching the bat first one thousand wearer of a beetle shirt every five but named his pug after David Bowie, lover of Volkswagen golfs and peak spokesperson for the Madagascan radiated tortoise community. It's John Nichols presenting Nichols Niche.

Wednesday time for Nichols Niche.

Just you just let us know if you're unhappy with any of your intro and we can tweak that for you, John, we'll do It's pretty good. Still that holds up.

It's wonderful.

Yeah, the fourth most talented musician in your family.

Yep, just ahead of the guinea pig. The guinea pick, just ahead of the pug. Sorry, my mind is elsewhere.

John, That's very very I'm sure ziggyby stoked to be called a guinea pig. What do you have for us this week?

Well, if you've ever been in a science class, you might have tried the egg drop challenge. You have to design a contraption that will protect an egg that's dropped from high up. Most of the eggs usually break, and for years, the common was to make sure that the egg landed straight up and down. But scientists from MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by a professor tal Cohen, cracking that idea wide open. They bought one hundred and eighty eggs. They got them from cost Co. I don't

Up, you know what was the nation of origin for that test, John, I believe that was the United States, Okay, because the yea wherever they got a costco And on the matters of guinea piece.

Yes, the subject of that's right, I was taken as I believe you were. Also by recent headline that said scientists just made guinea pigs listen to a dell for seven days. I thought that's either cruel or nice, depending on how you feel about Adell. Apparently the actual story isn't as interesting. It's all about compression, which is the magic trick that music producers used to make everything sound a bit louder and punchier. Radio stations use it a

So, John, if you heard a song that has been compressed or as the compression treatment, can you tell kind of.

Yeah, I mean you can tell that compression was used in say the Beatles music. Whenever you hear RINGO do a tom tom Phil instead of dunk, it's more of a that's because the tale of the sound of the drum is being pushed.

Up to make it louder.

Yeah, it's been compressed.

And there was something called the loudness was a couple of decades ago where all the music producers wanted to make all of their music super loud all the time, just to make it sound better on the radio. And apparently that was that was unpopular because when you're listening to heavily compressed music, areas get tired as a bunch of guinea pigs.

A test in Paris can attest to.

Yeah, so that was the outcome of the test.

Yeah.

The outcome of the test was that the people, the guinea pigs who were listening to the compressed version of the Adele song, which, by the way, not twenty fifteen's I Miss You. Yeah, I'm not familiar with it, but apparently it was a good choice. Those that are exposed to the compressed Adele, their protective muscle, the stupedious muscle,

While, but they got better. Yeah.

Well it's mozy one, double three two is the phone number. Now, A man close to your heart, sir Paul, what's he done?

Well, this is appropriate because this is what happened sixty years ago yesterday. Paul McCartney, having already dreamed up he Reckons the tune for the classic number Yesterday, He then had to work out proper lyrics because, as is well known, the original title he had was scrambled Eggs because it fits with a melody, but he thought that that's not going to sell, so he had to come up with

Play the Obo.

Well, yeah, they were heading for a villa borrowed from his mate Bruce Welch. Not to be confused with our traffic guy. No, no, this is Bruce Welch from Cliff Richard and the Shadow. Yes, yes, yes, anyway, they flew from London to Lisbon yesterday, sixty years ago, and they needed to drive a couple of hundred kilometers to get to the villa from lis and on that particular car trip he wrote the lyrics.

He thought of all the words that.

Were possibly fit with the With the tune, he mulled over the tune and got little one word openings to the to the verses you know, suddenly.

And the rest.

And he said he made it sad because he reckons people like a sad song. Yeah, and it's become one of the most covered songs in the history of music.

I already thought, so karaoke covered, huge song. Does it split sit on your in your top ten or the mount rushmore for Beatles songs. You're a Beatles mad Yeah.

Top five?

Yeah, it's good, isn't it.

Yeah?

It depends on when you ask me, but always top five?

Yeah? Yeah. Beautiful bit of kid, isn't it. He's a bit of it is a bit of Yesterday.

Thank you John, Thank you for Nichols Niche, Thanks sig See you next week.

Cheers, you know, oh Yesterday conswer why she had to go? Sheves Yesterday?

Awesome?

Hey, sixty years ago. Yesterday Yesterday was written by Paul McCartney.

Amazing song. We will come back.

We do have a statement from Murray What, the Federal Environment Minister. We've been chasing the poll today.

Yes.

No.

Do you think Murray what will approve the extension to Woodside for the Northwest Shelf and the Borough area. You've been voting in great number today and you were right. I was less optimistic on this. I thought I thought the Greens and the Teals might have a say in inner city Sydney and Melbourne.

But it's happened.

It has happened, it's been approved, and this has happened quickly after a number of the delays under the previous Environment Minister Tanya Plibasi. So the yes is a fifty one and the nose afore now we paused to tally for obvious reasons, but lots of you are very happy with the decision. And as I've said right from the start, I'll work this station for a while. We just feel differently about oil and gas and iron ore and the resources industry than the rest of Australia does. Because we

Hi Tom, Hi Simon, Hey mate, So we said this was coming after.

Mister Alberinez he talked about firming capacity with gas and our transition to renewables earlier earlier in the week. There's some politics in this decision as well. But he's been fairly clear. I've got Murray Wat's statement in front of me. He looked at the potential impacts on the national heritage of the rock art and economic and social matters concerning the proposed development. But Woodside I got ten days to respond.

Yeah, that's right. So a conditional approval. As you said, they are the Obanza government saying that they're going to impose some some environmental kind of guardrails to how would Side can do it's business between now and twenty seventy. A lot of that will be focusing on the emissions from the facility and the impact on the indigenous rock card up there, which is massively central to a lot of the concerns of environmentalists over the extension here. So yeah,

Tom? What are the political ramifications for the Albanese government?

Yeah, it probably depends where you ask that question. I think in Western Australia there seems to be pretty wide support electorally for gas. You've seen the WA Premiere and the WA Labor government really push and advocate for the use of gas in the state's energy transition and kind of link it to all those downstream processing ambitions that

Lightning rod is the right phrase, mate.

I agree.

I don't know this for sure time and I don't always get these things right, but I think the activists and I use that term collectively, you know, the independent candidates. What if you want to call them the Teals, the John Butler's, the Tim Winton's, you know midnight idols of the world are going to go lose their collective minds over this one, I reckon.

Yeah, there's there's so much opposition from from green groups, like you've got the two kind of pillows to their argument obviously just the emissions aspect, and they are warning that allowing it to continue until twenty seventy will enable a lot more gas to be extracted and burned. And then inversely, as I said earlier, you know that the indigenous rock cart up there and the concerns for the

Yeah, I think so, say ten days ago, Woodside still have to respond a little bit more and we're waiting to see what the I guess the industrial restrictions, the operating restrictions will be. But at this stage it's now the ball is now firmly back in Woodsides Court. Look forward to reading your thoughts. Tom Over this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Mate.

Thanks for having a chat to us.

No, thanks so much for having me.

Tom Rabi from the Australian Financial Review. So Murray, what has approved it at this stage? Dependent or yeah, dependent on whether Woodside like it. So that it's now they've got ten days to answer. So he's done that pretty quickly, hasn't he. I was very skeptical, very dubious. I didn't think he'd do it given, you know, given how important the Greens are in the Upper House federally and the Teals and and you know working in partnership with them.

Yeah, I reckon that Queensland will lose. I think they're gonna get pumped that. Yeah, it's got that feeling about it tonight. Having said that when Queensland plays at sun Corp Stadium, Simon, anything can happen, particularly if the players had just been walking past the Gaxton Hotel.

I can't wait.

I had like an out of body experience at the Caxton. Yeah, like I almost transformed into a Queenslander. I could feel Steve ran Off, I could feel Billy Moore there at the Caxton. And I'm probably gonna have to now buy your cart and the beer because my phone's ringing.

Who was it? Yes, yeah, you know it is. Look a who that is? Oh there you go?

Sure, no better, you're getting your guarding done.

Yeah that's right.

So yeah, look, I just think Queensland's up for hiding. Yeah, I've here on six PR and then League Legends Tonight Bowie little show I put together where you'll hear the great Man Billy Moore, Queensland, Queensland and the great Man Mark Guy MG.

So League Legends Tonight.

Waited here for what didn't he six for the Western?

Yes?

Now the will Murray? What I approved the North A redundant question. Yes didn't they they did?

It was going to happen as he called you back.

Yet we have been polite, my people talking to his people and it's been polite.

It's it's good if he can be polite to you, because he should come and talk to you.

Yeah.

He will never bother to talk to me, and that's fine. I don't want to talk to him, to be honest, because he's always treated us with the stay. But you different kettle of fish and he should talk to you.

Yeah.

Maybe. Thanks for listening in today. I had an odd body experience at the shoe bar. Six you were there, Yeah, you saw it?

So good? Do you help me get through it? Absolutely brilliant, Absolutely brilliant.
