Lisa told Clairsy the story about Tesla bosses who are visiting their employees at home who have called in sick.
The second part of Clairsy & Lisa’s How To Make It In W.A series today focussed on the new Malaga film studios and the man who could tell them all about it was the Minister for Culture and Arts, David Templeman.

Twenty seven today, tomorrow showers and becoming windy in eighteen.
Okay, right, which made me think when I heard about you know those days when you come back from a school trip or even a family trip in roeu and it was a bit rough and you feel a bit crooked. But it also made me think about some of the conversations I've had with people. It's going to be so many people that we know going on holidays right now. They'll start posting and boasting on Facebook. But I've had conversations in the last week with at least three or four people who if they're going traveling as a couple, at least one of them got really sick, and one couple who got their first day in Paris of a long trip around Europe.
I'd be like, get up.
Yeah, I know, how annoying. Annoying for the healthy person too, and how disappointing that you've got to get off the plane in your crooked as a dog. It's awful.
I never got sick on holiday, and you've never been. I never been sick on holiday.
Get sick, she don't get you pretty pretty tough.
Well, we're made from carst iron.
Is it cast iron, titanium or something. I remember going on the Sorry for the Divorce Hour holiday with the old man and my little brother.
Yeah.
So he took us to the States. It was like a really big deal. We're going. We're going to Disneyland kids, Yeah, the Olliworld.
Yeah.
And I had some French onion soup in a restaurant in Sacramento in La Okay, and I've never had French onion soup since because I was so sick.
Oh no, there's not a lot you can do about food poisoner. So we did the drive to took yourself out of other things. We're doing the drive to drive in a sports car. The old man hired Hide a Chevy Camaro to do the drive to Vegas.
All right, I'm really sorry for the divorce kids.
Yeah.
So we're driving along and I'm sick as a dog. There's no back seat, you're you're in a sports car. I think my brother was squshed into the boot or something. But it's so disappointing when you're doing something you're so cool and you and your crooked as a dog. Talk about those times when you've been on holidays and at least one of you has been really been struck down. So frustrating. Richard in Butler, Hello.
Good morning.
Yeah.
Well I actually came over with the Perth with me away from me two kids. Yeah, this was about eighteen years ago, the first time we've been over to Australia than the obviously all left Saintments and that we went.
I was sick for three.
Days corn and get off the bathroom floor.
Oh no, too posing, horrible.
Some I've ever been sick, And that was when I was on holiday. I'm the key just to go out with the life or whatever and there.
And do all the all the days out of whatever.
Not like it was on a year for the week I was going over each then.
Yeah, so I missed most of it being on the bathroom floor.
Disappointing and horror. You just feel, Yeah, I think you can't fly, it's awful. Yeah.
Well, now I've moved over here, and now I've emigrated over.
There, so I've got plenty of time to do all the stuff that was, you know, I wanted to do at the time.
But that bathroom floor must have made quite the impression on you.
Absolutely. Okay, have a good.
Day, Richard Daven's success. Good morning, Dave.
When did it happen to you?
Well, first of all, I'm a lot better this morning than I was years ago. We lived, well, you have the anniversary. But anyway, we flew out the New York you know, a nice little flight, hours.
More and travel.
Yeah, I got crooked at the first airport and the wife had morning sickness. A little did we know until we got back. Yeah, that's what we said a few other things.
Too, Yeah, twenty Look, yeah.
We were there for two weeks and we didn't see much in New York. It said head down the ball and yeah, and there's no public border system in New York because of the obvious reason.
Yeah.
Yeah, so you had to go on after when they were not the nicest that christ This is our Christmas and New Year break we went for. Yeah, ran down the drain and years ago. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty so it was pretty rich.
Yeah, so not too many walks through Times Square or Central Park made for you. Yeah.
We got out of about three in the afternoon and this winter over there an hour and a half and then you just dive back and eat.
You got an eighteen year old reminder now to here we do.
Yeah, we every day, especially far out you broke that lamp took New York. Yeah, thanks key the song now bringing a bit of New York.
Alicia, Yes, Angela in Mosman Park, Good morning, Good morning.
Hi.
Where did you get sick on holiday?
Well?
Mine was about thirty years ago when I was backpacking around Europe and I was taking a flight from Athens to Cairo and I had a migraine. When I boarded the plane and the plane started flying, I couldn't stop vomiting. I started vomiting and I was vomiting, and I kept getting me bags. But then I stopped vomiting for a while. And then they started handing out the food and what they put the food in front of me? Oh no, I thought, I don't want to be sick in front of the people next to me. So I got up to go and be sick at the back of the plane. But the lady was locking the aisle with the food trolley, and.
That's the last thing you needed to see or smell.
Yeah.
Yeah, So I'm waiting in front of the trolley and she wasn't going to let me pass. Everyone had their food, and then this manliness on the aisle said, oh, are you okay? I said, I'm so sorry. I can't wait any longer. And I sat on his arm rest, opened my bag and vomited. And then I saw these two men look at each other and just put.
Their forks down.
The little carry thing.
And then when everybody was setting off the plane, I just couldn't get up. I'm just staying in my seat. Let when he get off the plane and all the people at the back as it passed me said, are you okay?
You embarrassing? There's the chunder.
Two weeks later, when I was leaving Kaimo to go back to Athens, when wives in Athens and getting off the plane, another man said to me, I'm so pleased you took this slight better than the laugh.
Oh you get recognized, lived infamy.
I was rememberable you were Angela.
That's embarrassing.
That didn't even have Facebook.
Then to no I wicking how she stayed on the floor, sit there for about a week. Sure, everyone's going home.
Craig and Singleton said, it's a text.
He said, day trip with family and friends back in nineteen eighty one, Rottnest Fairy.
Everyone on board was throwing up.
That's not good when there's you know, the there was there's premium, you know, parking at the rails.
Absolutely yeah, And someone's figgering someone else who may not have been sick until you know, well, that's grist. Look, you can be not only disappointed in your holiday, you can waste a whole lot of money, and you can also just feel yack when you're sick on holes Barb.
In South Under. Up, where did you get sick on holiday?
Hi, Lisa, Hi Clazy. I was with a friend touring Sicily, and one of the legs of the tour was to go on a coach trip. So there was a lot of very very prim and proper people on.
The coach right obviously of course.
Us as well.
Yes, And anyway, so this particular coach trip stopped at a supposedly beautiful restaurant, so we all had a meal that night, and first thing, six o'clock the next morning, we're shovels onto the coach for a five hour trip up the freeway. So off we go, very quickly. There was one after another not feeling too well. But I don't know about you, but I didn't realize that coach only had one toilet.
Yeah, if you're lucky, and we were.
My friend and I were parked on the opposite aisle, next to the where that you go down a couple of steps to the toilet.
Well, i'll tell you what.
There was a steady stream to start with of people going into the toilet until one one particular chap just couldn't get.
Out of the toilet.
Oh no, And the smell that went through the coach was horrific, but of course it was a freeway so they couldn't stop. People started to drop like flies and just ended up screaming at the driver, You've got to pull over somewhere. Well it was We did finally, but it wasn't pretty. And I don't think they got that that whip out of that coat for a long time.
Yeah, well it was bad from steady stream. I think they're but.
Thanks Bob.
Extremely scrambled.
Jessie in bedfordal says she went to Bali for a fortieth and got typhoid fever.
Oh dear, sounds so bad and typhoid.
Not just sick belly died.
Wow, it's not good at all. Let's go to Freeman. Well good I Wendy, good morning. How are you pretty good? But apparently you were sick on holes.
Well, I've got true stories and I'll be very very brief. The first one. The first one was when we went to Brema Bay to do the Orca tour and we were down in the deep sea there like the South Sea, and half the boat, including my dear friend, were chondering and sick. The Star for exceptional just catering to everybody's needs and running around with sick bags and emptying them, et cetera, and patting them on the back. But then I remembered another incident when I was pregnant years ago, and we went on a dinghy in Roebuck Bay with the family to spread my sister's ex husband's ashes, right, and all the branch panties and the bogan billiers and the ashes and everything was going over one side of the boat and I was chundering alongside. And yeah, I added all my vomit as well, because I was terribly seasick while I was pregnant. So yes, that wasn't any It's.
A double banger of a six story.
Yes, we can laugh about it now.
After the event. Yeah, it's not fun at the time. Thanks, Thanks Wendy Hye. It's funny with thank you for people like calling about.
Their chunder Lorraine in Hill. But last call, when did you get sick of.
It?
Was my husband.
When our daughters were young. My husband used to take them away once a year for father daughter holiday and I'd have a week off doing for myself. Anyway, the first time that he decided to take with both girls to Bali, they all got barley belly and they were sick the whole time and spent it all in the hotel room the whole week that they were there.
So disappointing.
Yes, I think that was the last time he took them on holiday.
About me.
Yeah, and even worse when you start getting better on the way home.
It's really yeah, that's the worst.
Thanks More more Lisa, More podcasts soon.
And Lisa's counter makes in w A.
Bring his son on your staff.
Indeed, w Way is the hub at the moment with movies being made here, quality television series being made here, and so we are taking a bit of a deeper dive and today we want to talk about the film studios that are being built at Malaga with the Minister for Culture and Arts, stated Templeman.
Good morning, welcome, oh, good morning, and it's going to join clairesy in Lisa, how.
Are you going lovely very well over now?
It's all so exciting and this just makes it all the more so. Tell us about the Malaga film studios that are currently being built.
Well, constructions commenced and the big, the big film studios are now underway, so they're like big sheds really. Then four of them yes, and they're very in size. The biggest is about twenty thousand square meters in law space, so big space. But look, they're underway now, will be opening those in early twenty twenty six, and everything seems to be on track there now. In the meantime. It's what's happening in the meantime that's really important because in preparation for the opening and for the obvious content delivery that we want to see through that production facility is all of the work going on under the screen screen facility or the screen strategy, and this is all about developing the workforce because what we know is when you begin to get a real steady pipeline of work through film series, whether it's bigger film films or it's a television series or documentaries or whatever it might be, you need the crew in place. You need to have a steady supply of crew, and so the workforce development is critical. And so the first part of the strategy very much is focusing on that. That's aligning with our training institutions. It's making sure that our tastes are well aware that there is going to be huge demand for a whole range of technical expertise so all of those that support a film film production, we want to of course ultimately train and retain our w a creative workforce here in preparation for the studios opening and operational And it's very exciting, very exciting.
I mean, I've even announced my retirement.
I noticed that politics.
Well, because I want to go into the film industry.
You should be close up. You should be in musicals, because we know that the colleagues there in Parliament will miss those songs of yours.
How many jobs do you think it will create?
I mean, I mean, I think I always I always say people, people should. They don't do this. Of course, when they've sent a film or even a documentary, they don't watch the credits. They don't watch the credits, but the credits actually tell the story. Because that's the list of people who work on a production. They include people that not just at the forefront you know, the producers, the directors and the actors, but it's almost good behind them that do all the work, the technicians, the carpenters, the set builders, the technical and electricians and all of those. And what we've seen, and this is one of the exciting things about it is when we've had productions in, for example, Regional wa The economic benefit is huge because what happens when the production team comes to town is your sparkys are employed or asked to come on and set get things ready. Your carpenters are there to help with set building that they source, transport and logistics locally. You've got to feed the people locally, and of course accommodation is tagging up. So this is also not just about the Malaga Center, which is going to be critical, but it's also about supporting a burgeoning industry in our regions as well. So this is just you know, this is really a major play can our creative industry is being created before our eyes now.
We are readily Yeah, well we're alltecting huge attention.
I mean people around the world. Nicolas Cage film down here, Yeah, in the Southwest. He just raved about the pace. Now when that film goes live, he's got a standing ovation at the Chance Film Festival premiered over there. When it goes live around Australia and around the world, people will start saying, where's that place film? Because there's beautiful backdrops that we have in Western Australia. Yeah, that also added to our advantage.
Yeah, absolutely beautiful light here as well over.
And are consistently pretty good weather. Yeah, not tomorrow, but most.
Tomorrow's going to be Rubbishy David, I know that projects, especially in notly would they take years to find funding and support and the rest of it. But I know you're talking about twenty twenty six form Malaga to open. But are there any bookings as yet former Laga?
Yes?
Here, Actually there there I can't announce which one of the are. Basically basically the home Fire, which is the operator of the center, is already fielding a fielding interest for bookings. The other thing, of course, which I think is important, is the governments invests a huge amount in what we call screen attraction initiatives. So we've got a twenty million dollar screen production attraction fund. Now this is like the cream, This is like the cream on the cake. It's the money that really ultimately gets a production across the line. So we've gone for all of these incentives that are similar to other states and territories. But of course we've got a natural attraction and the natural elements I think that are going to really attract people to come here. Now, the other thing.
About our.
Film studio is it's actually got room for growth now. Most of the others in the other states are now constrained. They can't go any further because there's no further land available. Ours is a big site. It'll include what's already proposed, but it has rooms of course for further expansion in the future. And it also of course has a big area for what they call the backlock, so that's where you can store and have a whole range of other additional resources stored on the site. So our site is big, also not constrained like those in the Eastern States. So you know, Melbourne's docklands is now constrained. You can't build any further because there's a freeway in one corner and residential on the other. Ours is a very good and very much a greensfield site. So it's done really be a benefit when we have to expand it in the future.
Yes, being a bit of a movie nerd, I do watch the credits and of course you often see that you know, stuff is done on location, like we talked a lot with the good people of York about the beautiful location that offered for the twelve, and then other stuff is done in the studio.
So now we will also be a one stop shop.
Where absolutely so post production, pre.
Production, exactly post production, and.
So this facility will ensure that everything can be done here in WA. You won't have to go away for other parts or elements of the film to be completed. It will be state of the art, obviously latest technology. We're kind of very excited about this is this is a real game changer for Western Australia and any young person, any young person out there who's in whopper or who's going through training in the creative industries. This is particularly exciting for them because there is now a pathway for them to train, get experience work and stay in Western Australia doing a craft that they love. And I think that's one of the real positive things about this.
And of course it's not just for the actors and the directors and whatever.
There are so many different skills and things that are required and add at all levels of capability too. There's something for everyone to try to, you know, get in on how important is the entertainment industry at a way or how important do you foresee it being.
When we've got all this.
Look, I think people are very much about experiences. I think lots of people now seek you know, creativity is something that's a very human element. And so when you invest in the creative industries, as the government has, you enhance that liveability of a place, the appeal of the place to visit, to live. I mean, it has so many other benefits that make for a great place for worked, for you to live, work and visit. Now we for example, so may I mentioned about the surfer for example with Nicholas Kachem, but there is a direct link to having films and using landscapes and ocean scapes and coastal planes and mountainous areas at all.
We've got it.
We've got everything. I mean, the Kimberly, the Kimberling, this ancient landscape, all of those also help sell Western Australia.
Yeah, to that place.
Where's that place? You know we've had for example, Mystery Roads Series four is now being filmed in w A. So all Mystery Roads been filmed in Western Australia, has been three series. The four runs underway now it's down in the southwest Pemberdone area. So directors want to come here, producers want to come here. So you know, this is why we've got this great momentum.
Now, Hey, David, I'm thinking I'm getting excited because you use the word backlot, and obviously it makes you think of Hollywood a lot. I'm thinking about. Yeah, I'm thinking about the you know, the majesty of being in a golf cart and feeling like you're in Hollywood. You might spot a start. You know, there's were there or whoever's drawn here from the see.
This is what I mean. I've already sort of asked Ricky Leaf bestill from screen were can I need an agent? I want to get an agent.
Yes, I want to be immersed in this. I'll take any job you want to give me a job as a Yeah, it's very exciting. It's very excited, is yeah. Well we share your excitement. We can't wait until, you know, things get really rolling year after next and we hope will be tours available for the public.
It's wonderful in the golf cart.
Well, I reckon you two look gray in the cart and I could be in the back giving copy of.
You just give us to don't you show us what's there? As long as you sing it?
It is so cool. Thank you so much for chatting to us today.
Thanks man, and all the best next year and beyond.
Mate.
Yes, thanks very much, David.
Well, we know what he's planning.
He's not running for our parliament, so for him that is very exciting. And I think the thing I hadn't thought about until you mentioned that the room for expansion of Malaga with more land. Yes, wouldn't have happened if it had been a Frio. There was no pros and cons.
At nine was a good choice because you know, it's not competing with a lot of other stuff that Frio already had.
Pretty quick direct one from the airport too.
Tomorrow we're going to talk to a casting director very good as.
We continue our little journey along and how to make it in w way and so many things being made and so many great plans. That is exciting stuff. It's remembering our mate Many from seventeen years ago. It's incredible to think about that, isn't it.
It's unbelievable.
Face never said he never walked away from someone who was coming to say good a.
Did he?
Many?
No, he was the most peopliest person you would ever meet, just a nice It was nice to everybody to tell you.
About the I walked into the Club Bayview and Clermont and to host made He's sitting in the back room and he played footy still and he looked at me, Clezy, don't tell Mick because he's flaming.
The next day, did I ever tell you about this?
That he left Club Bayview and he just moved out of the house that he lived in in Subi and he's he's fallen into a taxi and he's gone home and he's gone inside and he's just fallen asleep on the couch downstairs.
Oh yes, yeah.
And the new owners of the house came down Mayne had boom. Well yeah, and so there were new people living there and here's Mayne on the couch.
Was he say by the fact they recognized him? Yes, he was side a couple of jumpers.
Yes, I love it man, you couldn't get cross with him.
Seventeen years More Clesy, more Lisa, More podcasts soon.
Housemaster Australia continues tonight thirty on Channel ten and Tom Gleeson from school holidays I believe, joins us.
Tom having a nice break in Byron Bay.
Oh really, yeah, I'm.
Having a good break It's not bad. Yeah, because I've been at it for a while. They're just doing a lot of various TV shows, getting some stuff in the camp. So good to finally have a little break.
Well, thanks for the chatting on your break mane.
Well, one of those d NO worries is Taskmaster Laron Chen and Mel Buttle and Peter Hellier and Reece Nicholson tonight at seven thirty on ten.
What are some of the tasks we will see.
I'll just trying to remember. I think at one point they have to try to put as much weight as they can on a you know, like the scale, you know, bathroom scale, you put on a wall. So they're on a wall, so you've got to try to put exert as much weight as you can on it. But it's on a wall and you can only do it from two meters away. These are the kinds of tedious tasks that we come up with to put these comedians through so that we can watch them fail pretty much.
Yeah. Yeah, And they can tell their parents what they did on the weekend or when they were filming their last show, and they can say, oh, I'm so proud, silent daughter. Funny, isn't it.
And that's part of the fun too, is like they're all desperate to see how they went and how the others went, because when they when they do these, they don't see each other's work, so they're seeing it for the first time on the floor. So that's why they're always so mortified.
Clearly some of them are cleverer than others. Seeing what Reys Nicholson did recently with his tying up a frisbee to get it through the caravan door was genius.
Yeah, yeah, we'll reach these. Reese had to throw a frisbee into a caravan, but Reese knew that they were very good at throwing, so they got a really long rope and just tied it to the frisbee and dragged that into the caravan and it worked really well. So Reese was inspired by his own laziness and his own being bad at sport, and that worked out.
Yeah, he's pretty much mcguy, but it hasn't he it's genius. I love that. Is there anyone in the lineup by tonight and now now that you're into season three, man, anyone who the line up that you think is just a natural for this kind of stuff. They were born to do it.
Reese is a massive fan of the format, so it suits Reese's lateral thinking. But also Peter Hellier has a his street of doing sketch comedy and dressing up and doing pizza silly stuff back in the day on Rogue Live. So I feel like I feel like Peter Helliet kind of is reverting to his comedy roots. So I think it's fun watching Pete dress up and have to be silly.
Also, Pete probably knows you maybe better than the others. Does he know how to appeal to your humor?
Yes, well, he has the natural advantage of being about the same age as me and so yeah, similar sensibility, so he knows. He's probably got a better idea about the kinds of things I will and won't like. But I do, weirdly enough. I do try to treat all the comedians fairly. And I fairly, I mean I like to trash them in equal.
Amounts absolutely part of the fun.
That's I don't want any of them to miss out, So I don't want to if I don't pay them out enough, I'll feel unloved.
Yeah, I feel like the favorite child. Know you want them all to feel like if it's just tricking, forget about Taskmaster for a moment. What do you like at tasks at home? Can you repair a wooden chair or something like that.
I'm actually very good at tasks at home. I'm quite handy.
Yeah.
I guess people wouldn't expect it, but I'm a very good at repairing scenes. Yeah, I'm quite handy around the house. You're going to do things myself. When I was finished, twice goes to work on roots. I need to do roof restorations to repair it roof.
Oh wow, that's handy.
That's good. Have you got a game dangerous? You shouldn't know, and there's a point where we shouldn't be. But I've got to shed with the shed with all the shapes of all the tools on the wall and one of those walls.
Yeah, I've got I've got to shed with a lot of tools in it. Yeah. I'm usually pretty handy with the I do all all moon lawn bowing and stuff too.
Yeah.
I think people always surprised when they see me mowing my own lawn.
I love it.
Do you have a well ordered shed? Is everything you know in its place? A place for everything?
It's pretty tidy, yeah, I like Yeah, until the kids get in there and wreck everything.
Yeah, okay we were allowed and doad shed really well, it was best we didn't go in there anyway.
It's probably it's probably good you haven't got the sore, the plane in your hands something every day.
Yes, Well tonight at seven point thirty, we'll see who who's got what it takes to become the next task Master Australia champion as it continues, Tom, enjoy your school holiday break.
Thanks for joining us.
I am going to enjoy my break. But my family we're going to watch Taskmasters night.
Oh.
I think it's my children's favorite shot at the moment. That good to watch it.
Yeah, sweet, it would be better than better that than be someone else's show, Tom.
By thank you.

First of all, they canceled an upcoming gig at a Connecticut and music festival. Now reports suggests they're set to take a proper lengthy break.
Sources say the.

I think he's done enough grouping. Grouping? What is calling it?
How does Pat sme feel about it?
I don't know. The rest of them are laughing because they're not the ones in Trouble.
Green Day have been banned from two Las Vegas radio stations playlists after singer Billy Joe Armstrong declared the city shall we say rhymes with hit whole. They were performing in San Francisco a bit over a week ago. When Billy Joe expressed his disapproval that his hometown baseball team was moving from San Francisco to Vegas and made his hit hole observation, it didn't go down well. Radio station KOMP ninety two point three has pulled all their songs and wrote on Instagram, It's not us, Billy, it's you. There's a new mystery series coming to Netflix with a pretty cool cast. Ray Romano and Lisa Kudro play a couple selling their idyllic La home in No Good Deed, and the motley bunch of buyers coming to their open house include Dennis Leary, I Love Dennis Leary, Linda Cardlini, and Luke Wilson. The synopsis for the show says, multiple families all race to buy what they believe to be their dream home, convinced it will fix all of their very different problems.
But of course, you know in terms of be careful what you wish for.
Yeah, there's a twist, and this makes Madonna look positively punctual. Singer Laurren Hill is known for showing up late for concerts. But this is ridiculous. Fans at a festival in Nairobi in Kenya on the weekend, say, miss Hill didn't show up for her Sunday night performance until three a m. Sorry, three am, and then the show finally wrapped up around five am.
Oh, that's ridiculous and that's just rude. Makes Axel Rose sound like a school precinct.
This is interesting.
Tesla is under fire after visiting sick workers at home to check if they're really sick. Yeah, this is happening in Germany to the mammoth Tesla gigafactory on the outskirts of the German capital Berlin. Managements dealing with the fallout of revelations that staff on long term sick leave are being checked on at their homes, and the plant's head of human resources has described the aggression that he's faced while making those house calls, having the door slam shut, his face being threatened with the police, being asked if you don't have to make an appointment first. TESLA chief Elon Musk says he's looking into it. He said it all sounds a bit crazy. Andre Tierrig, the plant's manufacturing director, says the companies making the house visits as it was to appeal to the employee's work ethics.
Oh wow, I just you know, appeal to the fact that they have a.
