Seven minutes after six. Good morning to you and welcome to Monday, and five to ble a breakfast. It is the second of June. This morning, we've got a big day ahead, plenty to get you across that's transpired out of the weekend. There's an incident on a Weymouth street. We're going to be crossing to a police incident after seven o'clock. Also, the latest on how the Donald Trumps still tariff increase is going to affect Australian industry. Will be chatting with Innes Wilcock from the Ausralian Industry Group and the Trade Investment Minister Joe Sockarch from the State government after seven o'clock this morning. Also we're going to be chatting with a farmer from a Spaulding on the drought with a call. I think that is a timely one, given that this is State budget week, for farmers to be exempt from emergency services levy increases. That's after seven thirty this morning. And then I'm fascinated by this story. The Chief Justice, Chris Caracus has called for an inquiry into the use of artificial intelligence in the legal system here in South Australia. We're chatting about that after o'clock today, plenty going on around Adelaide, Astralia in the world, looking forward to you being part of the conversation as well. In a double two three, double O, double O, David ben Berthy, good morning to.
You, Good morning, will, Good morning listeners. I have a sneeze coming. Do you so bear with me if I stopped talking with her because I'm about to hit the cough button. But you know when you've got that feeling in the back of your nose happening you're on TV, it's yes, absolutely, TV would be terrible. It's the worst feeling, and I think it becomes psychological. I've had it multiple times where you go, I need to cough. I need to cough, and you can't because the next but the person next to you is reading Rosanna's we're reading and by the time it gets to you will come out, that's right. But by the time it gets to you, it's way worse than if you just would have coughed. You can't speak and you sort of struggle through it is it feels like a spring morning outside fourteen degrees at the moment, really bar me, I came in jumper, grabbed my jacket, and I've walked outside and one of my dressed like this for could.
Be getting around in a Hawaiian shirt today. It's gotta be an interesting week weatherwise. We'll talk about it shortly now.
Well, if you have, you had the best sporting weekend of your life or one of them.
For pretty much, Yeah, I did. I certainly did yesterday. That was unbelievable.
For those who don't know about Wool's obsession with the NBA, that's the USA Basketball Code.
The NBA. Will loves the Indiana Pacers.
They won Game six of the best of seven playoff, which is like the preliminary final. They beat the New York Knicks pretty easily, didn't they in the end?
Yeah, first half was pretty edgy of seat stuff, but the second half they really wrestled control.
I looked at it in the third term and it was about about fifteen points up.
That's when things started getting a bit more comfortable, although it never felt like it. It's like those games like footy. Even if you if you're at a prelimit it's a third quarter up by five goals, you feel like it's five points. Yeah, it's just because of everything that's at stake. I had a great day. I felt like a little kid like I woke up, I had my alarm set because the game at nine point thirty and I wanted to go and get the family, go buy some breakfast for her, and so we would you have a morning free of stresses. And I ended up waking up about seven o'clock and I was like, well, I'm done now, I'm I'm up, I'm fired up, I need I need to go. Did you watch it with the family? Yeah, so Aliston to Rosie watch it with you yep, yep? And your brother halftime? Nuh my brother. I think it had a long and heavy night the night before. I did se him until about midday. Rosie did turn to me at one point, and I think at the urging of her mother, because I never heard her say this before. She just went, calm down, daddy, that's hilarious, which I've never heard her say that before, daddy. So I was obviously inspiring that sort of that's demand from her.
Well, I've got a new nickname at home, the Oracle.
What did you predict? So Saturday we were talking about the Swan's game and Jim's going ah be worried about this one, and Kate's going, yeah, I think we'll be all right, but if we don't.
If we don't, this is one of those games. The way we're playing now, we should just definitely win it, you know, this should just be the four points we get it. And I'm worried that that that I said. Listen, at quarter time, the score will be Crows six goals, Sydney one goal. It will be the most relaxing nights viewing ever.
And the final.
Score will be Adelaide twenty one goals, Sydney six goals. I was one goal out, so I what it was bizarre.
So why were you randomly predicting the goals? I don't know. I just did it to the family Saturday afternoon and as the game was happening like it was, this is exactly going according to the plan as seen in my brain. That's superb. I don't bet. If you bet on the actual score for quarters, I reckon you can make an absolute fortune. I mean if you do. Have to have the ability of foresight and know what they're going to be. Yeah, and you know, playing the A League when it comes to gambling exactly, it's Western United Football are on the weekend.
I'm not a registered athlete anywhay, No, no, no, you're not. That's not holding me back.
Have you seen? And we're going to cross across to the US. They're going to do the full coverage on this story. And I've always hesitant to talk about stuff that's going on in war because I'm a big believer in that old adage that the first casualty of war is truth and it just behooves everyone to make up all sorts of stuff. And the stakes are so high, well wide, do you care? Right, You're loyalties into things other than good and accurate storytelling. That said, the Ukrainian attack on Russia overnight. Have you you across what's happened here? It is unbelievable and it's an operation that has taken out a large part of Russia's long range, medium and long range bomber capability operations Spider's web where at multiple air bases within Russia, not just across the Ukrainian border, but in the Arctic circle, there was wow, there was attacks thousands and thousands of kilometers away from Ukraine happened at the same time where no one knows exactly how they did it, but appears drones were at least in a couple of instances, deployed from the backs of trucks from within Russian territory, and they went out. They took out forty Russian bombers, forty of them. They think it's the value of about seven billion dollars and about a third of the Russian bomber fleet. They took it out in one fell swoop. Zelenski himself has released it because he says this is this is a military operation for the history books. Now I caution all that, of course they're going to say that they're on the eve of doing some more negotiation with Russia. And clearly they've taken a different tact than they did last time when Russia bomb they held out of Ukraine the day before negotiation. So the U creditors said, well that was he was a pretty effective tactick. And they've unleashed this remarkable, remarkable story. Now there is vision that verifies some of it. There are bombers on fire and so forth about a remarkable story. Is loyal to Ukraine within Russia? Well maybe yeah, dotted all over the country, yeah, or Russia or they snuck in Ukrainian special forces snuck in well with trucks across the border. But like Ukraine's at the bottom of Russia, the Arctic circles at the very top. It's a fair it's a fair old drive. There was an attack in Siberia, to give you example, a place called Stridny in Siberia. We are talking. I wonder what in an Australian context that would be a war going on on the Mornington Peninsula and that you know, somewhere near Perth getting attacked. Yeah, yeah, or Broom or something we broom, Yeah, Broom's probably a better example. Unbelievable. What an amazing story. Yeah it is. We the US cross worth more than that. After just before seven o'clock this morning. The other thing we're on the lookout for, did anyone capture photos of the Aurora australis eight double two three double A double A textas on zero four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. We've got something that will put up on the live stream. But if you can add to our collection, we would absolutely love to see that because the photos has got some nice ones that Tyser's got some terrific ones. They look they almost look again. I hate to say this, you feel like after these days, they all look like they've been made up, Yeah, because they look so alien and so beautiful. And somebody I thought you opinion that there's one on the on the live scream looking at now with really red sky, and I was under the impression you had to be down in the southeast sort of Mount Gambia way to get it to see really to see this really well. But apparently not. Apparently on the flurior there were people that could see Aurora Australa. So if you've got a photophor us, send it through before zero eight, thirteen ninety five.
I'm going to unload later in the program about this utter farce with Wayne Miller.
Jack Reh. Yeah, seriously like cool jets and I reckon ready might bring it up at a moment we've reached let's peak woke idiocy, I think yes.
And part of the problems is too many of these half wit ex footballers on TV now. They're all so desperate to have an opinion that the hot takes are becoming so spectacularly inane.
They're pretty luke warm up.
Oh that is that is that is the coolest hot take I've ever seen.
We'll get into that with ready shortly news head lights decks, David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast twenty minutes after six. Already some texts coming through on before zer Wight thirteen ninety five.
Yeah, here we go. I agree with you, Pembo. Some AFL people are so precious. Now Rabble from that's offensive?
Is it?
Mark from Power Hills? Good on your Mark. There's another one down here like it's Rob, good mate, Rob. Of all the things over the past years, the AFC could have got on the front foot over and been up front about they chose the biggest wet vision to the.
Never we were wrong, we were wrong. They came out within three seconds. I think of it, of it being uttered.
What if what if someone starts bagging Nora on Instagram? I mean that would hardly be a national first, would it? Within his vigenous player? I I just think I feel so sorry for Waye Millery. He's been slotted as some sort of loud mouth for someone who goes around trash talking people. But put it in the context of trash talking using using the Jack Rewold principle, the Vegas boxing way in is going to be something and behold, isn't it one of these days where it's like, I just like to say a big hello to my fellow heavyweight opponent. I know he's put in a lot of work over the years. He's looking very physically strong today and probably mentally prepared for the fight. And I just hope this is a good, clean fight that goes goes full fifteen rounds, so all the best.
God that sounds thrilling, doesn't I'll be by that. I'm handsome, I'm pretty and can't possibly be big. You know, I call him the Mummy. No, you can't say things like that. No, that's right. Simpler times, is zip it? Muhammed News headlines on this Monday morning major crash Investigators investigating the cause of a serious single vehicle crash in Stockport last night. The incident occurred on the Twin Rivers Road just after eight forty five pm. The road closed overnight. Drivers are being urged to avoid the area and seek alternative routes. A woman and police officer have been hospitalized after a house fire in Adelaide's northeastern suburbs that took place in the afternoon yesterday. Police and emergency services rushed to Burton Rode Athelston after reports of a house fire at one pm. Fire crews arrived to find the single story house engulfed in smoke and flames. Two occupants of the home had already evacuated. At the scene, a female occupant was being detained by police when she allegedly assaulted a female police officer. The woman was taken hospital for an assessment and the police officer was treated in hospital for minor injuries. Something weird's gone on there. Five coups investigators in Eastern District's CIB attended the scene on Sunday afternoon. Investigations into both the fire and the assault are ongoing. Two men from Melbourne are facing multiple charges accused of cheating when gambling on the A League this season. We alluded to this in the opener. Police will a ledge the men were placing bets on players being carded. Football Australia has been working with a Sports Integrity Intelligence unit on the investigation. That player has been named. You can sit on the front page of the paper this morning. Western United's Japanese recruit recruit Rikus and Zaki rek I just I started It's a Japanese guy, why they're just so Laura bid so, Laura biding people. I know they've got a yakuza absolutely in Japan, but of course they were normally in the soccer context. They clean up after they I was just going to say that they cleaned up.
You know.
The other thing, the Swans are a bloody rabble. Most of their supporters have left at halftime.
What else do you call them? Their players were bickering amongst themselves during the game. Let's just someone should change their Wikipedia entry to say Swans are a rabble of a football team based in Sydney, New South Wales. Thurday point nine degrees outside at the bowhead of nineteen, top of nineteen today, seventeen tomorrow, maybe a drizzle of rain about tomorrow, dry and sixteen cool. Wednesday overnight love five maybe two meals on Thursday, maybe eighteen. But don't worry because at least in the metro area we're going to get some probably some decent rains on Friday Saturday, up to ten meals on both days, one to ten ninety percent chants of some rain both those days, so hopefully we get a fair whack and then even on the Sunday up to ten meals of rain, so somewhere between two and thirty meals of rain between good Friday Saturday and the Sunday.
We need it spread out. We need day's worth of rain, not one big day of rain. Yeah, that's right. The storm the other day was good, but we need some sustained and substantial rain. So this is looking promising, even though he's going to bug up a long weekend.
I'll just tell me. Look if we change it to say, Claire, I'm just trying to pick somewhere randomly at North it looks like this. Nine meals Friday Saturday, ten one fifth seen on Sunday, so not as we're early, but wet wehetta later on, so it doesn't look it's going to be a huge breaking of the season for people out in the country. But it's all welcome at this point in time, as is the entry of Tom. Render to the program each and every morning, all thanks to the Great Agastinea Mitsubishi. The end of financial year, sailors, I'll get a three K cash card on selected models. Morning you any.
Morning, boys. I hope you had a great weekend.
What a victory.
I think we sat here last week and pretty much saying these next three weeks we're going to define the Crows and probably Matthew Nick's tenure and coaching career.
What a start.
I mean, fifteen goal win that was breathtaking, wasn't it? And look, Sydney, Sydney were a rabble weren't they?
They were a rabble?
Goodness me that it is Sydney. Al We'll maybe start with that.
Ibe Jack Reewold is not listening.
That honestly is the biggest overblown beat up rubbish if players, I'm going to say, that's how big loser wokeness and former players Criticizing players for comments like that is absolutely disgraceful, even seriously.
Particularly given that he spent his entire career stand next to Trent Cootch and who was punching bikes and the guts off the ball most weekends.
I cannot get a lecture.
From that bike behave.
I'm just disappointed the Crows apologize for it.
So am I actually why we stand with Wayne? Yeah, the least controversy to the original too. It wasn't like he came even even if if he came on and said, look, City, the City Football Club are a rabble even that I'd go, okay, whatever, but he was saying out on the field as you could hear them all talking, he was saying they were rabbles and they were disorganized. Yeah. Like it was the most lame comment you're ever going to hear yet, and you know, the up pouring to these people want football.
Exactly, it'll get to the point where players go, you know what, we're not going to do any press conferences, so what are they going to have their pathetic hot takes about?
Then?
That's right, Yeah, I just think and look, the Crows obviously are trying to, you know, cultivate this image of being the nice guys and a great, nice respect for football club. But seriously, that's just total overkill.
Yeah, completely honestly what they gave legitimacy to it by apologize, that's right. Yeah, they should have laughed at up Sidney didn't want an apology.
Sydney should have come out and apologized to their fans for how.
Poor they are. They should give him a little refund. They were pathetic.
That's that's where that is. Anyway, let's go to the positives. The game itself was sensational and this moment we're which he called beautifully with Rowie. Was one of the moments of the season I think so far.
Big fist came from King Philthorpe gathered it then just threw it on the boot. Unbelievable stuff into the middle. Oh a Shelly. He did it kick outside of the boot with a one touch socker that looked like he should have been playing in the A League Grand Final. And Jesus good, now what a highlight.
He meant that completely as a kid.
Completely. It was brilliant. He did mean it.
It was so good, wasn't it. He dreamt that up, you know, five seconds before anyone even knew it was going to happen.
No one things like that.
Incredible, wasn't it.
So?
Look, he has been so important this season. It's easy to say he's in the career of his life. He definitely is. As a lot of players, their recruiting looks great at the moment. Huge contest though. Now this week we know for the Crows, you know, Brisbane at home, it's probably going to be a bit wet, so it's going to be tough, but they can beat them. They're playing great foot at the moment, so huge result for Adelaide. I'm so impressed with what they did. Other losers from the weekend football wise, Melbourne I thought they'll pour yesterday after gaining so much ground in the last six weeks. They are really disappointing and Callum Ward looks like he's probably played his final game after doing his knee on the weekend, which was disappointing for him. You spoke about the ALA Grand Final and your call Will will give Melbourne City a big shout out and a really a Vidmark you know, former Reds coach. He was the coach, so that's a great result for him. He's been through a lot, but he's he's a really good manager and I'm delighted for him that he was able to be absolutely Yeah.
I've been managing over in Thailand or a big club over there and then he comes back and has success, so good on him.
Yeah, it's a great result for him. Indiana Pacers will your oh yeah, your boys are through to the finals. So they've got Oklahoma which won't be easy, but but you're a chance. You're in there. So two horse race. Paris Germain. With the soccer, they've won the Champions League, so that was huge. They didn't just win.
Yeah, they builded them and they wasn't playing mess he wasn't playing.
He's gone now like the lost all they've gone back. They've gone from this let's get the best stars and they've gone to like a what's the old adage? A champion team always beat the team of champions like that. I mean, there's still very expensive players in there, but they're just they dominated that. Oscar Piastri fabulous result. Overnight he won the Spanish Grand Prix, so that's really good. Lachlan Kennedy another sub ten second race over the weekend which was sensational. And the Netherlands they won the Wheelchair Rugby World Cup, the six Nations tournament that was held here in Adelaide across the weekend. They made Australia in the final, what was a thrilling final. Other results the Thunderbirds they lost. That was just appointing. And it's sounding like reports from the UK. Will wait to get official confirmation, but and she's going to get the flick. It sounds like, so that should probably happen.
You got in to see where he goes next.
You've got more job securities of Lion Tamer than there's a coach of an EPLI.
Especially the manager of Tottenham. Yeah, they give you about fifteen seconds.
The thing is though, by winning that trophy he will get another job completely no problem.
But you're right. Where is it in England continent?
Yeah?
Yeah, I just I don't know what he's doing because he's trajectory has been so fast up from Japan to Scotland to the Premier League.
Could have been a Manchester United maybe.
Oh wouldn't that be something?
You know, their managers under pressure. H you know, there's there's definitely some possibilities there.
Yeah, good one, all right, good on your ready. Thanks, good work.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five, double a.
Breakfast, twenty three minutes to seven. We're off to the US before seven o'clock this morn morning, and then we turn our attention to local news stories. And there's a bit to come out of the weekend, both for our steel exporters. Are we going to get having a much much closer look at and also we've been told by Sapaul about an an incident on Weymouth Street that we're gathering some more intel for you regarding and we're going to get into after seven o'clock as well. Our team like's working on local stories. David, I say, the team, and this morning, the team is you, It's me, It's Jess, and it's John O. There's one notable absentee from the team this morning. I mean there are good assignments and bad assignments in the media landscape. This is a good one. Escape to the Wit Sundays this winter flow direct from Adelaide with Jetstar in under three hours. Book now at Jetstar dot com. Lucy is at Airly Beach incoin off the coast of Wit Sundays, Loose. Good morning to you.
Good morning guys. Yes, there are worse jobs in the world.
Let me tell you. It's just gone seven o'clock here. There are some photos on the live stream of my balcony view. I've woken up to literal paradise, if you can see that. So I jump on the Facebook live stream. I'm here in Early Beach and usually I'd love to save these crosses for a bit of primetime radio, but I'm just about to go on an all day snorkel tour of the Great Barrier Reef. So so oh this is work. And I added a good ten hour sleep last night and have woken up in paradise. But seriously, I flew up to Prossapine Airport yesterday thanks to Jetstar very easy direct flight. They fly a direct out of Adelaide just under three hours and I'm loving it already. Now in exciting, exciting news, I'm up here not just to brag about it, but because later this week we are giving away a wit Sunday's holiday to two five Douba listeners.
And I think this.
Is a first for the five Double a Breakfast show giving away Whit Sundays holiday up to the sort of mid north coast of Queensland.
So I'm up.
Here scoping the activities if you will, that we'll be giving away.
That is such a view. Please now, which which island are you on?
Well?
I'm currently on Airly Beach, but looking over to my right is Hayman Island and Hook Island, and then today I'm heading out to white Haven Beach and tomorrow I'm doing a jet ski tour.
So you know, there are worse things I could be doing.
Have you snorked the Great Bey Reef before lose?
I have? I've been up to Port Douglas a couple of times. And I love it.
But I've never been to the WIT Sundays, and I'm thrilled that we get the chance to send two of our lucky listeners up to the WIT Sundays. So hopefully later in the week we can find some people who've also never been up here before.
How long's that flight from Adelaide Airly Beach.
It was less than three hours, actually, really easy direct into prosper Now. Prosipine is a town, but the airport itself was just like a big shed. It was really great. It was in the middle of this joonomous paddock, very easy. Jetstar was great. I had a little toasty on the plane, I had a nap, I did some work, and then just they've got all these shuttle busses into the beaches around Prosipine that are basically one of the gateways to the Great Barrier reef.
How did this even happen? Is we're sitting here looking at your view out over Early Beach, but we're currently looking out to Pitch Black in High Marsh Square. All I can see is a faint light on the Holy Moley Golf Club over the road.
I mean that that doesn't sound too bad.
Dave.
I mean, there's nice places and then there's Holy Moly. No, I love Holy Moly. But the Jetstar.
Jet Star wanted to help help us bring some people up to the WIT Sundays. And at the moment, as we know, it's freezing in Adelaide. When I left yesterday it was fifteen and freezing. So we've partnered up with Jetstar and the WIT Sunday's Most Council to bring some listeners up here.
Eventually.
Did you download pulp fiction to watch Bail You're Away?
That's on tonight's agenda?
Will because because they've put me up in a two bedroom apartment at the Pinnacles and it's got a big L shaped couch and a big TV with all the streaming services, and I know that pulp fiction is on at least two of them.
Excellent, that's exciting, Rob, Rob Or the text Slidelu says, if you're an nearly beat you're in the Sundays, you'll be able to recognize Lucy. She's the one in the puffer jacket.
Yes, I know. I nearly had to whip out the puffer jacket overnight.
It was only eighteen degrees while I was in bed so no, but I'm really excited to be up here for a few days. I won't create too much havoc or brag about it for too many days, but exciting that later this week we will be giving away a trip up to the Sunday's All thanks to Jetstar and the WIT Sunday's Council.
We'll enjoy the loast. We look forward to the review of the Snorkeling of the Islands and polp fiction we next chat.

I went years ago for a conference when I was only sitting in and out for one night, but it was just stunning that was on Hamilton Island. I made the fatal era, not fatal, the stupid era. I was told and I checked in. Make sure you shut the balcony doors at night because this cockatoos and I'll get into your Oh yeah, I left it open, and I got waken up by the sound of a screeching solf for crested cockatoo in my room. It was on my bed eating some leftover room service. Fantastic giant cockatoo. On the end of up, he goes to waste eating nuts.
I thought I was having some sort of LSD fuel dream.
It was bizarre, not that I know what they are as having done that, as you've heard exactly.
Steve says. Tell a few of our listeners have been there too, So Steve says, Tell Lucy to take bug spray to white Haven Beach. It looks beautiful, but the bugs that you're alive, And Steven says, my family and I are up at Early Beach last July. Amazing place. Tell Lucy to do the crocodile cruise. It's awesome.

Absolutely, and we did some analytics recently on the business and over eighty percent of our business is now referred or repeat business.

Thank you Jane. What a crack open the five double a breakfast for Saurus this morning, and you folks are the Saurus. Wayne Miller has gotten a spot of bother as you've heard this morning for describing the Sydney Swans as a rabble. Can you find another word to describe them that may or may not irritate Jack Reewolt? Eight double two to three double o double ow is the number. What's one word to describe the Sydney Swans. We'll put it to the test to see whether it would pass the Jackreewolt test. Word to describe Jack Reewalt? Think, I think we'll get dangerously close to defamation so soon after a flare up? What about vacuus blowhard? That's two words? Okay, may just make a blow hard? Then eight double two three double o doublo. What is one word to describe the Sydney Swans? That will put it to the test? Next? Eight double two three to double ow. We're going to check traffic for the first time this morning, though thanks to Lyn Andrew's real estate experts at Commercial and Residential Property Management Lynnandrews dot com, did are.

Yeah? Good, thank you, Chris.
I've tem going to be dry for the next few days, but looking pretty well later in the wake hopefully.
Yeah, that's right, Parlor. Cloudy conditions across Adelaide today, though there is a small chance we might see a late shower or so around the coastal areas. Not expecting a great deal, but yeah, expecting a top of nineteen degrees today. Another possible shower on the cards tomorrow, but yeah, again not looking at a great deal of rain, but yeah, looking at some better chance later in the week, from around Thursday on win to the more significant cold front moving across the bike. With that we could see sort of yeah, around five millimeters sort of over multiple days around sort of the Adelaide area in the probably a little bit more for the mountain lofty rangers, but yeah, something to look forward to winter hopefully starting to deliver a little bit of rainfall.
Absolutely good on you, Chris. Thanks. Let's say to say Pole Sage and Peter Williams is on the line. Peter a fatal crash at Stockport.
Yeah, good morning guys. At about a forty five last night, emergency Cruz responded to a single vehicle crash out on Twin Rivers Road at Stockport. Sadly, the driver of the vehicle, which was Affords today and a twenty one year old man from Stockport, died at the scene. Major Crash attended the scene and are currently investigating the cause of the crash and the man's death is the thirty sixth lost on SA roads this.
Year, said news Peter. Also, there's been a stabbing in the city.
Yeah, about five minue this morning. Men she serves as a called to a hotel on Morphet Street in Adelaide after reports of an assault. Upon arrival, they found three men within the complex with stab wounds and all three three men have been taken in hospital. Two of them are in a stable condition. The third man is critical but stable. Investigations are ongoing. It is believed that all men are known to each other and this was not a random incident, but anyone with information is asked to contact crime.
Stuffers and also Peter, there's been a car fire in Prospect Yeah.
Just after one thirty this morning. Fire CRUs attended a car fire in a driveway on Regency Road. Fire crews extinguished the blaze but it was badly damaged. Crime scene investigators will be attending this morning to determine the cause of the fire and again if anyone has any information, we asked them to contact crime stuffers can.
Only pay the Senior Sergeant Peter Williams there from SAPA said of the US. Rob Scott is in a Los Angeles for Channel seven covering a story that we started the program talking about today, this extraordinary series of attacks that Ukraine have carried out against Russian Air Force baces in Russia. Rob, good morning to you. What do we know about this operation?
Morning?
Guys?
Yeah, Look, this is audacious, isn't it. Apparently this operation code named Spiders, where there had been eighteen months in the planning, and it turned out to be one of the largest aerial bombardments using drones that a Ukraine has carried out in this conflict so far. So what the Ukrainians have done is smuggled about one hundred odd drones into Russia and then they've hidden them in the roof cavities of small wooden sheds, which they have then driven on the backs of trucks to four separate Russian airfields spread across the country. Even as deep as Siberia. Then the roofs of those sheds were remotely open to allow these drones into the sky, simultaneously attacking these four airfields and destroying about forty one of these strategic bombers, these nuclear capable that Russia has been using to send long range missiles into Ukraine. Kiev puts the damage at about seven billion dollars, and from what I understand, the loss of those bombers, about a third of all of the bombers that Russia has, is going to be almost impossible for Russia to replace. President Voladimir Zelenski taking great pride in the attack, describing it as an absolutely brilliant result and even letting slip that on Twitter quite deliberately. That's part of the headquarters of this operation on one of the outposts was actually located right next door to an FSB office next to one of those airfields, so having a bit of a poke at Russia. The interesting thing here is this all comes on the eve of what is supposed to be the next round of direct peace talks between Moscow and Kiev taking place in istan Bull tomorrow, So it's going to be interesting to see whether all parties turn up to that as a result of this bombing or you know, whether anything actually comes from it.
Has there been any response from Russia?
Has Putin said anything yet, Rob Kroiki, You'd imagine it'd be like the Hitler scene in Downfall where he finds out that surrounded on.
Both fronts, nothing official out of Russia as of yet. You can imagine how embarrassed they may feel, especially with Zelenski saying, look, I had one of my operatives working right next door to your supposed intelligence agency. Clearly they had no idea that this was coming, but a year and a half in the planning. Quite an ingenious operation. And it just shows you that Ukraine, while it is getting pummeled the on the battlefield, it still has inventive ways of hitting back.
Yeah, what an extraordinary story. That was remarkable. Thank you, Rob. Rob Scott in LA for Channel seven. You'll be able to see the pictures and indeed all the analysis on seven News from six o'clock tonight. Have listened to Wayne Miller.
It's sort of feel that as a group, you know, we're all over the thest half and you know that was sort of a bit of a rabbel just hearing from them on ground.
Apparently that was a huge controversy and as the Crows apologize to the Swans for that, Seriously, what a joke. So we figured, if rabble is a no go the word, what's one word that we could use that doesn't offend Jack Rerewat's sensibilities but does adequately describe the Sydney Swans. Now. Bruce Abernathy, speaking of seven News, just wandered in a moment ago and he's had to me a whole bunch of Adelaide Wine Festival vouches. It's on this Sunday, the eighth of June, from not this Sunday, Yeah, this Sunday, the eighth of June, from eleven am until five pm. There was a whole stack of wineries there, there's there's food, live bands at the Central Market. This is a great event. This double pass gets you a free glass on entry and unlimited tastings. How good was that? We're going to give it to the first five people with another word for rabbel Joe, good morning. What's the word that should be used to describe Sidney?
Get a boys, Hope you had a good weekend. I'd say just Firstly, Jack Reebolt is actually the only person including Sydney that's actually insulted by that word. Not even anyone got any footyo. So the AFLs neo baby's got to get his new dummy back. But what watching the game, I'd say that the Sydney Swan's played a boulder dash style.
Struggle. Saying that midway through Sunday afternoon at the wine festival. Joe, thank you have you talking that?
Dave?
Good morning. What's the one word to describe the Swan's crap? Yeah? Crap you might as well have for all the for the kerfuffle. That's exactly about. Mark in West Broydon, Good morning.
John, Good morning to you. I thought the word would be disconnected.
Yeah, disconnected, disconnected Yeah.
I was going to say if I could have used the two word titles, I would have said that they were front runners because let's face it, after they they kicked that first goal, they thought they'd won a lot of.
Oh they they've played like it. Thank you, Mark Stacey, good.
Morning, Good morning. I'm playing that light Daggles, which is a group of deep, loud, noisy, flat fair wings and just carry on right shops.
Headless jokes, Yeah, absolutely, stays Mark Joe. You're all off to the Adelaide Wine Festival that's taking place at the Central Market this weekend. Big thanks to Abba. We're going to take a break five double A news is coming up. Wrap of the morning stories.
Next David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double A breakfast after seven.
Good mornings, if you joining us for the very first time. What's a pretty balming Monday morning in June. Still thirteen point seven degrees outside at the moment, spare of thought for the good burgers of canber It's minus one point two in the nation's capital of this morning, but here in Adelaide much more pleasant. Maybe some rain later in the week, but fingers crossed it gets to the right places. In fact, we're going to be talking with some of our farmers after seven thirty today on the drought and in budget week, what kinds of things the state government should be looking at to try and alleviate some of the stresses on the people in agriculture and how the Australia that contributes so much to the economy and at times sacrifice so much, are going through an unprecedented level of drought. We know, I say a price that maybe technically it did happen one hundred and twenty five years ago, but what they're going through at the moment is extraordinary. It needs to be treated as such. So we're going to chat with a couple after seven thirty this morning. The Chief Justice is going to come on after eight o'clock with a story that I think will particularly interest you, and a whole lot more as well on the program. Let's start the news wrap though with Hayden Nelson, who is in the city for seven years at a stabbing that took place. Hayden, good morning to your mate. What's happened? Yeah, morning, guys.
Well this has only happened at about five o'clock this morning here on Bafer's Way in the city at the Altitude Hotel and apartment block here where we understand it's been three people injured, all stabbed by the sounds of it, Three men taking a hospital, one of those in a critical but stable condition. So at this stage it's pretty extensive crime scene, spanning sort of in the a room or an apartment in one of the sort the higher levels of this apartment block, and then right down to the lobby and through the lift as well. So when police were called here, they really swarm this apartment block trying to understand exactly what had happened. There was a number of people that were speaking to inside the unit. At this stage you understand that just one person who may or may not still be in the unit that they are speaking to to try and lean some information as to exactly what's happened here. But a stabbing attacking the city. Three people injured at this stage and investigation underway.
So I'm just having trouble placing exactly where it is, mate, So what.
Does it have a name? In this place? Sorry?
Dave?
What was that? Where exactly is it? Is it an actual hotel? Is it a pub? Yeah?
So just behind Life Square. I don't know the sort of the name of the apartment, Bog. It's called Altitude. It's called the Ice Day Hotel, which is just a mixed of service departments and sort of you know, overnight stays and longer term stays as well.
It's a pretty knock about sort of a place, isn't it. Like it's not exactly the Stanford or the Software Tail.
Is it? Oh No?
But there's a there's a good Brazilian restaurant here actually, David, so you might I know you like your Brazilian food. It's not too far away at or right at the bottom of here in the lobby, so look, it can't.
Be too bad.
But obviously they've been guessed here. They've been staying the night. I don't know how many nights they've been staying here for. I don't think this is a rental. I think they were guests in the hotel side of things. And yeah, certainly it's all lockedown at the moment with police going in and out, and they've sort of set up a shift change office at the front here, so there's plenty of police. And if you do go past, you'd definitely see that there's a large police presidency here to try and with to take his who looking at what happened?
Yeah, and stuff, hay and thank you Hayden Nelson for seven years in the city covering that story. This morning. Over the weekend, the US President was in Pittsburgh, the home of still making in the United States, and he made an announcement with a regard to a tariff that affects Australia and is one of the tariffs that wasn't covered in the court case that you might remember we covered at the end of last week that was making the path to increasing, decreasing and applying tariff'small problematic for the US president. Things on steel and aluminium weren't covered by that, and he used that freedom over the weekend by announcing that he would raise the steel tariff on foreign imports from twenty five percent to fifty percent. That will take place on June the fourth. This is not one of those with a ninety day negotiation period. This is coming in effective immediately June the fourth. Inness Wilcox from the Australian Industry Group joins us on five Double Breakfast in It's good morning to you.
Morning, how are you?
We're good, thank you. And it's sort of weird with the time difference.
You wake up to a new policy surprise every other day, the way the US is being run at the moment. But from an Australian industry perspective, what sort of impact do you think this could have on business here in Australia.
Well, David, you just touched on it yourself. It's just creating enormous uncertainty around how Australia deals with the United States, either directly or indirectly with trade through third countries. You know, you've seen the proposed tariff's put on countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and of course China and their big trading partners for Australia too. And Australian companies get a lot of goods or inputs for their products from those countries, manufacture them here and then export them to the United States. So costs are going up, uncertainty is going up, shipping is very difficult. And now you've had this latest move on steel, which after the Court of Trade of International Trade last week sort of gave to the US administration a bit of a knockback on its tariff plans. So he's playing very much to his domestic audience. Being in Pittsburgh to make this announcement tells you a lot around where the thinking of the administration is. It's at home.
Well, what do you think Australia's response should be. I mean, it feels starting to feel a bit galling that he sat down with China to sort of go okay, I can see you guys are a bit upset about Plan A, so we'll come up with a Plan B. So he's tried to smooth things over with China. Why should a country like US that's shown nothing but loyalty to the US be traded with such indifference.
Well, we got I put this through. We got it with a ten percent tariff, like a lot of other countries, and you know the UK for instance, their prime minister said this was the greatest victory of all that he could possibly have had, so to only get a ten percent tariff. We got one too, but still is important to us as an industry. We have Yala in South Australia obviously, which is getting a lot of government support at the moment, but it's important because it produces still for domestic consumption and for heavy industrial needs. And what the big concern we're going to have here from this is that we might be well be the subject of dumping from other countries of still into the Australian market, because if it can't get to America, it's got to go somewhere else, and Australia is a good at place as any. So the Prime Minister's meeting President Trump in about two weeks in Canada, and quite frankly, that'll be about the most important meeting he'll have as Prime Minister to try to get some stability back into the economic relationship between US and the United States, which is such a huge trading partner and investment partner for Australia. So what should we do get on the front foot, make the case we have critical minerals, a lot of those from South Australia. That's our ace in the hole here. We could help the United States with the use of critical minerals. You know, they're concerned very much about China's almost monopoly on some critical minerals. We're the ones who can help them out here. We've got to play that card.
Thank you, and it's will got thanks for Industry group. Let's talk about the local perspective. The Minister of a Trade and Investment in South Australia is Joe Socherlich. Minister. Good morning to.
You, morning guys. How are you going?
Does the change like this necessitate any I mean, I appreciate that the budget's coming out this week, it's probably already printed, the inks drying, But does it necessitate a state government response to our Does do our exporters need some support?
Yeah, look they do, they do, David, and I think you know The frame that I put on this is that it's it's consistently inconsistent, and as you said in your intro, it's almost every night we go to sleep and every morning, you know, we wake up with a new briefing which talks about new tariffs, and the volatility is really damaging at the moment. That's exactly why we announced on the weekend that is part of this year's state budget being handed down this week, that we're injecting five million dollars into specific tariff relief and programs which are directly aimed at front footing this both problem but also unique opportunity.
Tariffs are bad.
This is a devastatingly short sighted decision that continues to be made by President Trump. It's really damaging for the US economy. And that's what, if I have to be honest with you, give you gives me some degree of anxiety, is what this means to a potentially slowing US economy and what that means for overall demand for our products outside of just the tariff proposition, but with the five million dollars that we're injecting, what we're focused on is doing what we do best as a state, and whether it be from wine to advanced manufacturing to sports technology. We are in probably the best position that we ever have been as a state to be meeting these challenges head on.
Now.
Our exports in the last two years have been fifty percent bigger than any other part at any other time in our history. We've got to work harder, we've got to be more resilient. We've got to be really direct about this. But fundamentally, we've got to get out there on the front foot and use every opportunity that we can both across North America and Europe Asia. It's exactly why I've just returned from China, our biggest trading partner. It's exactly why on the weekend I'm traveling to Japan and Korea too, are really important strategic economic partners now region. We've got to leverage everything we can. We've got to put our best foot forward.
Well. Minister Trade and Investment, Joe Sokach there. The state budget comes out Thursday this week and we'll find out more then. Matt Abraham and I'll be there. Will he did get now was that breaking it early that he got an invite? In the end, he did get it.
It is breaking it where we do have another breaking at eight. Oh, okay, but that's breaking at seven eighteen that Matt Abraham has been invited to the state budget lockup.
I'm genuinely excited about it. It's just that's the way we roll. That's why we love him, Abraham. Political nerdlings. Have you ever, folks fallen victim to a porch pirate? Eight double two to three double o double Ow. We're not talking about the high seas here. They roamed the streets seeking to steal recently delivered packages from your porch. A porch pirate. I've never heard the term. No, this is rife. Now. There was another story last night, a three hundred and fifty dollar package which delivered at the doorstep of a Camden Park home and Tochi Juma had a one of these new fandangled bells where if someone's standing at front door, he gets a notification on his phone this movement. So he looked at his phone, Oh, my pass was being delivered. Great, better get home and get it. Well, within ten minutes he got another notification and he looked at the video and there was someone else there was that.
Shocked overwhemed. You know, I just feel a little bit on the sea. In the video, my husband was like, Shelton, what are you doing here? It'sief thief tief and he just grabbed the eight and signed and took off.
This is happening all the time at the moment because of how popular and widespread buying things online is. We know Australia Post the in West entire business model now is delivering parcels well.
The other thing too is that leave leave item in a safe place has probably become increasingly popular because the alternative is you've got to slep down to the local post office. You've got a queue, and often particularly a holiday time like Christmas time, they're so busy and there's so many parcels. Sometimes I've actually gone there. I went there before Christmas, to our local post office and they said, we're really sorry, we've got so many parcels there. They're not even in ourphabetical order. And you're trying to describe what it is and they say, actually the post he hasn't even dropped the back yet.
For those reasons, people go, yeah, we'll just leave it on the verandah. People are making a killing out of being the porch by it at the moment. If you've fallen victim, what did you lose? What happens after the point at which someone pinches your parcel? How did you find out it had gotten taken? We want to hear your story this morning eight double two three double O doublo, or if you're feeling more inclined, you can text it three to us on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. We're going to check traffic and come back with Stephen ryder Ra at the weekend in Sport. In just a moment, register for the Big Brunch because every byte counts. Go to the Big Brunch Drive dot com.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double a breakfast.
Twenty five minutes after seven. Some stories coming through a parcel theft, John says, or just even sometimes just recklessness with where parcels are left. John says, My daughter purchased a wine fridge and they just left it on the front lawn hopeless. Thanks. John Rider has got an idea. What reader does is she gets her parcels delivered at work. All does a click and collect. And Andrew two has now taken to getting parcels delivered to the workplace during business hours. It's an interesting one with people that are at nine to five. I guess if you're in a certain type of workplace, if you're work at it, is it a bit of a sort of.
Look can you imagine us will if I just said, look at seven thirty, don't mind me. Instead of chatting about what we're going to be doing for the next half hour, I've got to go downstairs and pick up some meal peas.
I'm surprised that has that happened already. I just got to pop over the Clarity records. I won't be long, Ben Jordan. A few people have said this, and Ben Jordan, our resident stats man, has made the point to Australian Australian Post parcel lockers are the way to go. You can access them up to forty eight hours once it's been delivered twenty four hours a day. There are no lines and it's secure. Thank you for that, Ben, and to the other people that texting about the parcel lockers as well. Let's talk sport. Lift your game with a cat from United fork lifts under thirty k this end of financial year at United Stephen right on five double a breakfast. We like it ROWI on because he's a professional itever uses cuss words like rabble, RAWI, good morning to you.
Yeah, Sidney, we're a rabble. We'll get to that. What are complete flogging fellas of Sydney in every aspect of the game?
Will you?
And I called it, they won it, they used it, and they got it back off. And fourteen different goalkickers, seventy inside fifties, that's a massive number, smashed them on turnover. We thought will only two players probably lost their position robed to Grundy and Text. The rest were just superb. That should give the group a lot of confidence, I reckon, and as you said, even the fact that Sidney were a rabbel and I think it's going to send not shock waves, but it will send vibrations through the AFOL world. Just maybe, just maybe the Alais Crows are contenders.
Well Friday, I'll tell you what. If they beat Brisbane this Friday, that'll be massive. But what about what about rewold though, RAWI go on, have a crack, have a crack fire up.
Well, here's the thing. At a lot of X players and on one of them, we forget what it was like to play. We forget the emotions of it. Wayne Miller, for those that don't know, said this after the game in a radio interview. You could sort of feel as a group they were sort of a bit of a rebel. Hearing them on the ground. Now it's immediately after a game, the emotions are high, you've just sung the song. Someone puts cans on your head. You call it as it is. It was brutally honest. So what I love it. I think it's great. Why the club had to apologize.
Can we play the audio for people that haven't heard it? Because he said Sydney were a rebel. Happened? Listen what he's saying. He's talking about them talking to each other on the ground.
It sort of feel that as a group, you know, we're all over him in the first half, and you know they were sort of a bit of a rebel. Just hearing from them on ground.
Right, is he saying they're disorganized.
And they were? Yeah, yeah they were. Now, now I know the old school, don't give your opposition anym be humble in victory, you know, never criticize another club. Why our club thought they had to apologize? I think Tim Silvers wrote or text or rang Tom Tom Harley, Look, God, where our game? It's just it's just I shake my head every morning on a Monday, thinking now, what's going to be the story today.
Thinking isdoy, so what he's allowed to have all his hot takes and all of his buff and bluster, and you know, all these guys are out there trying to undo each other in the opinion stakes. Now the players says something and it's no, you pull your head in the club needs to apologize. I mean, is there a danger rowy that clubs will and players in particular events to.
Get you know what, I'm just not going to talk to anybody anymore.
Where just it's embarrassing where the AFL is going, and the media and people like me, buffets of the cheap seats, got a lot to answer for. I don't go down that path, you know that. But God almighty, what it'd be impossible to be a player now. They can't win either way they look at it.
It's what fan wants to hear a player after that game go oh well, full credit to Sydney. I mean they're a great team there. He pushed us right through to the final siren, like just scripted, uninteresting vanilla crap.
Yep, Yeah, totally, that's what's going to happen.
The thing is Sydney or Sydney Crow supporters, Crows players, the Adelaide Football Club itself knows exactly what he's going on at Sydney because Sydney are the Crows in twenty eighteen. Sarah total head case the way we were a total head case.
And you know what that's really unlike Nick Ree what I was surprised with that. I don't know. It must be how he's or Jack sorry, but the way he's been produced. But if you pop your head up, someone in the media is going to shoot it down from scoop you do to Cane to now him yet don't like it.
I don't know.
The other thing that we're quite telling was immediately David King sitting next to him, looking him like mate, what they are you talking about?
Yeah?
Well done? What well?
Hot takes And we're going to this one.
That's it Brisbane home Friday. That'll be the hottest ticket in town. Hawthorne in Tazzy my Quady is still alive and Will knows what that is. Dear to dream Crow supporters, because there'll be more than a lid explode in this state. If they can get those two done, we'll talk about that. Poured it back from the buy out, there refreshed. They've got six players to return from injury. Have GWS in Canberra. What could possibly go wrong? That's my first question to Timmy. After four, see you.
Men, We're going to take a break. Five to blaw. News is coming up. It's State budget week. What's in it for our farmers? What do they want to be in it? You find out next.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double a breakfast.
Twenty minutes to eight. The sun is up. Nice picture to you moment the Facebook and YouTube live stream the iPhone on a stick, just enough cloud cover to produce a nice sort of a backdrop for it. Got some terrific photos through earlier of the Aurora Estrallas. If you've got some that you we either capture down in the southeast or on the fluri of there's one that we've just put up on the bookies just put up on the live stream. Looks spectacular. The reds look alien if you saw it. It's some red and yellow and that magnificent picture at the moment, and I'll stop describing because it drops, people aren't watching, send them through to us. We'd love to be able to post them on our live stream zero to four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. Plenty of texts about parcel theft as well, and measures to mitigate that. We'll get to some more of those, but we wanted to dedicate this half hour to an issue that is a huge one for South Australia and one that probably doesn't get the focus it deserves. The drought we've talked about as a statistical anomaly, a lack of water that we haven't seen. Well, we're at the point now, we're at the since records have been kept stage of this disaster. You might remember the millennium drought water restrictions. Remember that disaster, Well, this is worse now, not longer, but worse, more intense. The problem for South Australia to more local lied. So in a week where we're counting down to the budget on Thursday, we thought we'd get our get some farmers on to get their perspective on what they'd like to see what actually assistance would cut through. The Government can't make it rain, but they can make it less stressful. Farmer Tom is a farmer from Spaulding, which is just outside Claire, and he contacted us because he wanted to come on and have his say, and that's what we're here for. Tom. Good morning to you.
Good morning David Will.
How are you? Yeah, we're good, Thanks Tom. So, how what's the lie of the land at the moment in Spaulting?
Though, Yeah, it certainly isn't good. I guess probably since July last year we've been tracking on lowest rainfall ever recorded, so there hasn't just been in the last few months. I guess it stopped raining really for us in July twenty twenty three, so we had enough subsort of moisture to get us through the twenty three harvest. But yeah, since then, there's been very little. So it's as bad as anyone alive I've ever seen it quite in terms of.
In terms of the assistance that that you and the and the other members of the community on the land there have been getting from from the government. What what what what more needs to be done?
Do you think, Tom, Well, a lot of.
Assistance that they've provided. You need to qualify for the farm household Allowance scheme, and honestly that doesn't really, no one qualifies for that around here. That's only sort of the small the smallest farms that probably aren't big enough to be viable anyway for hobby farmers. And I guess with the price increases in our land we've had the last ten years, similar the house prices, the farm household allowance schemes, it's just out of touch, it's outdated. So yeah, we're really receiving nothing.
I guess.
We spoke this morning at the tom about the the s L levy going up. We mentioned it right at the start of the morning, that the that that that will be increasing. And now whilst the e s ELM is a four point two percent increase about six dollars seventy for the average median city property, it's a lot higher than that out in the land, isn't it.
It's it's a real kick in the guts, that's right, just looking at what we paid last year was three thousand dollars in ASL. So it's just another price increase on top of no income. Yeah, I guess myself. I'm a volunteers for CFS and SES. I have been for twenty five years on the land here with my brother he's the same, and we're just getting yeah, taxed more for something we volunteer to provide to our community. So it's yeah, it makes it pretty difficult.
I actually think that's a really good point in time, because I think there'd be heaps of people in the city who, you know, complain about paying the emergency services levy, But because they're not on the land, and because they're working city jobs and living in the suburbs, they're much less likely to have that volunteering tradition that is much stronger in bush communities. So as you say, you pay three your taxes for a service that you already voluntarily provide.
That's right. Like I'm a volunteer, not because I enjoy it or I want to do it, but it's something that I need to do, I suppose, because if I don't do it, who else will. And in our sporting units, like in the ses, we're all farmers in the CFS with seventy percent farmers, and it always happens at our busy times. We've just got to drop the tools and head off it. Yeah, a cost to our business just to provide that service and to keep paying more and more for what we do. With why do I do it?
Yeah, understandably good on your Tom Farmer's on there from Sporting, The Shadow Minister for Primer Industries, Nicolab Senda Fante, has called in, what's your take on it?
Shadow Minister?
Good morning David and will look. I think you know, as we've heard from a number of farmers for a long period of time, the state goverments to Leaf package has just absolutely completely missed the mark. You know, we've got narrow eligibility criteria, we've got excessive red tape and it really doesn't deliver the one thing that farmers are calling out for, and that is access to cash flow for the purchasing of feed, for purchasing of seed water and fertilizer. And you know to now have the ASL levy increase on top is really just another slap in the face for our farmers, many of whom are actually the CFS volunteers and so you know, we're the opposition have been calling on the government to provide much needed cash flow in the way of no and low concessional loans. You know, the Queensland government do this through their Q writer program and also the New South Wales government provide these loans through Rural Assistance Authority. So other state governments are doing it. We just need the political will here in South Australia and we need the minister and the premier to step up.
So would the opposition suspend thesl for country people at the moment, for people who are actually farmers.
Look, you know we are a party of lower taxes, so you know we are currently going through our policy at the moment and we are looking at all of the taxes here in the States because.
I don't understand rude, you guys need to start making some decisions about what you stand for though, like the clock sticking the elections in March, Like there would be a good policy. Would it not come out and say a tarsier government will remove the year cell from country people.
Look, and you know, David, we are well and truly aware that. I mean, look, we already have announced a number of policies. I mean, we've announced that we will increase the eligibility for the sorry increase the in terms of payroll tax, will be increasing the pay threshold from one point five million to two point one million. We've also said that we will reduce a cost of living by abolishing labour three point five percent above CPI, water bill price heat, higher price hikes sor so you know, we've and we've all we've also announced that we will provide stande to release release for first home buyers, including ten thousand dollars for eligible first home buyers. So we have released policy, and we've certainly released policy that looks at reducing taxes already. But look, you know, and we'll certainly be looking at this one as well.
So the Shadow Minister for Primer Industries and Nicolas center Fante there the Treasurer has sent us. The Treasurer has sent us a quote with regard to the story. He said, for farmers who are doing it tough, if they're eligible for the federal government income supports, then they won't have to pay the Emergency services levy. And there's also rebates available for car registration. So one of our farmers listening can talk about how much success they've had getting federal government income support, because that would seem to be the thing that qualifies you to dodge the ARSL payment. But if you get let's find out how good that you need to be eligible for that federal assis right, So if you're not. You don't get the USL. So the other thing he said is the sl levy for the Median regional residential property is ninety nine dollars, an increase of three dollars twenty five this year. Tim Wehtstone send me some figures from his area, Chaffey, which is sort of the river land, he says, in the middle of it. Some farms will be hit with increases as high as sixty one dollars forty five and west ten times what was announced this morning. So we will we will await more feedback from our farmers who are listening eight double two to three double double O a text on zero four eight zero eight thirty ninety five. We'd love to hear from you. We're going to talk about a different threat to farming after the break one though, that on which there is some good news. The virus that decimated South the Strada's tomato industry. All the restrictions with regard to that have been relaxed. So what does it mean Where does it leave the industry? We'll find out. On the other why do they have to go through it all? Well, that's perhaps question number one. We'll get to that in just a moment, register for the Big Brunch, because everybody can once go to the Big Brunch. Drive dot com David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five, double a breakfast, seventy minutes to a few texts coming through in the text line, and we get these texts a lot. Gee.
The liberal policies really just roll off the tip of the tongue, don't They talk about not knowing what the hell you're doing? Just you know, you made a great comment the other day the libs. If this was a footy game, the state opposition acts like it's, you know, ten minutes to go and they're protecting a four goal lead, so they don't need to take any Let's just not make a mistake. The reality is they are about sixteen goals behind.
They should be kicking torps every time they get the footballs, right.
Yeah, just a bit of ticky touch with there again, shuffle around, see what happens anyway?
All right?
Uh?
I smokee a Tony Saker on a Friday, and he made the tomato guy the tomato guy, and he made the point to me that the restrictions of benes they don't they don't exist on South Australia is tomato in a street after the virus that was going through and caused everything to be shut down. This is kind of remarkable development in what was going to be the virus that ends the industry in South Australia. Peter Petsios is a tomato grower, joined us now in five double A Breakfast.
Morning you, Peter, morning, David, David Will.
Yeah, we're good. Thanks, Peter SOT.
We've spoken to you before, we had you on a few months back about you know, when you guys were told that you had to cease.
Operations, So what's the what's the goal?
Now?
Have they have they actually sort of you know, loosened it up a bit.
Yeah, they have a little bit. They've done a backflip on their initial you know finding sort of thing. And you know, we said this from day one that it was never going to be a realistic goal and they've you know, they've not taken their advice or anything like that. So we've had to work very hard for the last nine months to give them the identfic evidence that it was an impossible thing to overcome.
So can you guys now operate again as you were?
Well, you know, we it's come at a little bit late for us.
At the moment.
We've lost all our clients and you know, we're a lot in debt at the moments, were insolvency at the moment, and it's you know, we need a bit of a boost to get back to work somehow. So all our staff have been laid off and you know this place is a bit of a ghost down at the moment.
Wow, So what about your staff, because how many people did you have working for you?
We had about thirty people, about fifteen full timers and about fifteen casuals. So they've had to go off and see what else is they can find another job or something like that. But we're keeping in contact with those guys and if we ever do get back to work, you know, we'll see if we can get them back.
Well, it feels like, I don't know, what do you want to be done, Peter, because I mean you were shut down basically because of pers and now the sunlight, so it's not this thing's not as big a deal as we thought was in the first place.
They overreacted. We said that from day one. You know, we've been arguing with them now, you know, for a long time, and we've given them a lot of scientific evidence that it was an impossible thing to overcome. Let's make something clear here that the seed that we buy is all important. And now when you go to the supermarket and you see all this fruit and vegi and everything, all that seed comes from overseas. So Nick Seakam and the minister were very quick to agree to shut the stake down and stop the virus from spreading. But they didn't really look at the you know, they didn't take a moment to look at the scientific evidence that we all buy the seed from the same source. You know, seed comes in packages, you know, ten kilos or even more, and they get distributed throughout the whole country. Now, when New South Wales Victoria bullied us into going into into a lockdown sort of mode, they didn't fight for us. I sold us down the river, and you know, they didn't argue the point that you know that the other states would potentially have the virus as well sort of and they have and they have. So what they did, you know, we stopped working, you know, and stopped producing seedlings for our local and interstate clients. And some of the interstate nurseries had taken over the work and importing seedlings into South Australia. And you know, one of our clients was under a restriction and the New South Wales Nursery delivered some plants into that client's place in Victoria and about two days later they found the virus coming out.
A new well.
So immediately they did a backflip and they start to realize that they were wrong. Well, and they didn't take that advice.
Yeah, they stayed all along. Peter.
We're up against the eight o'clock news, mate, but we'll continue pushing on this. We know that the Penny Pratt, the Liberal mpiece, she has a lot of great work on this. Also the Primary Industry's Minister, Class Griven has called in. Rather than putting her on now, maybe she can have a chat to you direct, Peter and we'll get this resolved.
But thanks for joining us this morning.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast eight.
Minutes after eat breaking eight coming up in just a moment, the Chief Justice is going to join us very shortly. Chris Krakas talking about the inquiry that he's called for in who the use of artificial intelligence and the legal system are looking forward to that. We're going to talk with the RAA about their budget bid to try and get more money invested in making South Australian roads safer. We'll do that after eight point thirty as well this morning. And also is it going to be even harder than a park at the Royal Show? It certainly sounds like a ten percent of the parks are going to disappear because of the new agreement between the Council and the Royal Agricultural Society. So we're going to be talking about that with Will Rayner from the Royal Show after eight thirty this morning.
So the Prime Industry's Minister, she's got a nose how to joint that she didn't could come on now? Does she want to come on so that she can correct any imputations arising from the interview we just did with Peter Petsios, the tomato grower, because her feelings are hurt that the government's been criticized publicly. Or did she want to come on because she actually wants to talk to him to resolve his genuine concerns about the fact that he's got.
To stand down thirty staff. So this is where these.
I tell you what, sometimes people in politics they get the reputations they deserve. So her media person has rung up had a bit of a bit of a bit of a moan.
Was it a stroppy moan? Johno? Just a moan?
Just we'll just call it a moan about the fact that she didn't come on as we said, don't talk to us, talk to Peter.
What's we thought the phone call was going to be for calling in. You must want Peter's numbers? Did the press that asked for Peter's nudn't want? We can give the minister Peter's number. That would seem to be the easiest way to fix this. See neither side of.
Politics had a good thirty minutes on the five double A Breakfast show this morning.
Frank said on the TEXTI guys, you put the liberal MP on to make a full of herself, but you won't put the labor minister on to do the same. They still managed to do it somehow. That's unbelievable, yea and breaking out. Let's get into it.
So, speaking of people on the land, we understand that the Prime Minister Anthony ALBERNIASI, in what will be his first visit to South Australia since his stumping election win, getting on for a month ago. Now he's actually going to be here this morning with the premiere and hopefully, hopefully we say this.
Is good news for.
Farmers because they're holding a joint press conference in the tiny town of.
Fisher. Now Fisher is a dot on the map. I've never heard of it.
Until we got this intel about the press conference later this morning. It's just near Wosley's up there, only about an hour's drive north of Adelaide.
Ashmore Ram's broad Acre Paddocks is the business at which they're going to be hosting the press conference.
So you would think in light of the continuing attention on the drought, and the fact too that the state government, despite some efforts to address the issue, is still under political pressure to do more. We spoke to farmer John and Spaulding earlier and he made a very good cases to the challenges the people on the land are still facing. So within a couple of hours time we will know more about what the federal lanned state government's position is visa the struggling farmers amidst this shocking drought.
There's hopefully some good news there that sounds like there's definitely gonna be good news.
There's a massive stink brewing yet again within the South Australian Liberal Party as well. We were going to do that as breaking at eight, but the talent as you call it, pulled out at the last minute. The left and right of the of the party have gone to war over the fact that on the weekend Liberal State Council, which is now controlled by the Conservatives, Alexantik and so forth, le Oblithe, the new senator Liberal State Council, has moved a motion saying we formally reject net zero. Now this is at a time where federally, the new leader Susan Lee's trying to say, look, everything's up for a few let's just you know, not get bogged down in culture wars and ideological fights. So yeah, the left and the right a terrans others throats out about that, but unfortunately none of them, despite earlier indications, are prepared to come on to throw any Haymakers publicly.
Thirteen after eight double two three double double is the name you can text us on the text line two is there at four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. We'll get some more of your feedback in just a moment. But first though, we're going to check traffic register for the Big Brunch because every bike counts. Go to the Big Brunch Drive dot com.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.
Seventy minutes after right. I find this story interesting because of both what it means in the micro but the macro as well. It's we're contemplating in just about all walks of life at the moment, how artificial intelligence is going to change the way we do things. We know schools are struggling to assess these days in the traditional way because of the proliferation of artificial intelligence. Speaking of schools, there's stories at the moment we're we're talking about to what extent should teachers be allowed to use AI to do things like marking and writing of reports. Well, this is a question. It's being asked in the South Australian courts as well. The Chief Justice, Chris Krakus has launched a survey to the legal profession to get a sense of how this is being used and what the opportunities are for lawyers, but also the risks. The Chief Justice joins US now Chris Karrakers, good morning to you.
Yeah, good morning, Will David.
Thanks for joining us.
Chief Justice Judge Will saying, Well and I were talking about this on air one of our rambling chats about the implications of AI a while ago, and from memory, we were saying we felt like solicitors work, you know, corrahaling information scanning the body of judgments that have emerged in a particular area of the law. It seemed incredibly vulnerable to AI in our reading of it.
AI is very applicable to those things. We can talk about vulnerabilities later. But AI is the word smith. It puts words together in sensible, connected ways. So but you and more discussing is absolutely right. It's terrific for summarizing materials. It can do so almost instantly. It's effectively it's a wordsmith in terms of the law and cases. It can search databases extract relevant material from it. So there are enormous opportunities for efficiencies. But most importantly, from my perspectives, for access to justice. The biggest problem that we face in the courts and society faces with the administration of the law is that it's becoming expensive and inaccessible. To ordinary working people for their consumer complaints, their contractual complaints, and that's the challenge we've got to meet. AI offers an opportunity.
Does that opportunity arise though from driving down costs by having fewer lawyers?
It may, but I've always said that because we're in an increasingly complex society with a huge amount of regulation, lawyers will still be needed in all aspects of that. They will be assisted by AI. They'll work in multidisciplinary teams, but an understanding of effectively the laws which are behind all of that regulation requires a lawyer's input. I think they will do higher value work, David, I don't think there will be a huge decrease in.
Numbers, Chief Justice. Is there any rules of regulations around the use of AI today in the law?
That's the point of the survey. Some jurisdictions around the country have introduced rules and restrict on it. We, as as the courts in South Australia, are looking at it, but we decided very deliberately to consult widely first, which is why we're surveying the profession that went out on Friday. We've already had one hundred forty four responses to the question in the particular questions on the survey, four people have nominated for qualitative interviews that we're also going to conduct. We want to get it right. We don't want to stop lawyers using a tool which can make them more efficient hopefully and this will be important pass on the benefits to consumers. But at the same time we want to guard against manage sensibly the risks.
Do you think that there are any areas of the law that should be off limits?
Chief Justice?
I mean, without wanting to see some of the people I studied with put out of a job, could you replace magistrates with AI? I mean, if you think lower level offenses like dui or something like that, you could easily sort of have a system whereby all of the precedents there and the person's prize, it's almost like a mathematical formula where you could just punch it into a program and say, Okay, you're going to jail for a month.
Yeah, and I don't think you need AI for that. I've often thought, if you look at the penalties are fairly standardized, and I think that's what you're referring to. I think for certain standardized offenses, you could basically say if you want to accept this penalty, you can pretty well automatically get it. If you want to contest that, if there's something special about your case, you can go into a stream where you hear a magistrate. But to go back to your question, is there anything that's often? Can I just go to the civil dispute area. Singapore is actually working on AI models to help either decide mediate or arbitrate more claims much more efficiently under judicial supervision, of course, but they are developing the models themselves for that. Look, there are things that AI will never do. I don't want to sound like I'm just protecting my tribe judges, but the limit I think, at least for now, with AI, is that it can't imagine a better world. It can't innovate have a better world. And ultimately, the law has to be flexible and apply to changing society, and so you need a human understanding of where that's going. And if you're going to need judges for that reason, you'll also need lawyers for that reason to make submissions about how the law should develop. So again, I think there will and should always be a huge human involvement. That we can improve accessibility, and we can really improve accuracy as well. Much is made of the hallucinations mistakes which AI makes, but equally AI, as doctors are finding in the medical profession, can pick up mistakes and prevent them.
Yeah, great chat, Chief Justice Chris Caracus, thank you for joining us.
Interesting to hear industry to proactively talk about the engagement of AI in a way in which it's not about whoa whoa whoa. This is AI taking over? Is all the jobs gone? I mean, this is an industry that clearly recognizes reading between the lines of what the Chief Justice is saying there. It's too slow, it's too expensive, it's too unwieldy.
You can cut out a lot of that slogwork that end up being built at whatever it is a minute, it could actually democratize.
And cases waiting years to be seen and so forth.
Then other thing we're talking about the other day, and this isn't a sort of an attempt to make flying high gags, but the fact that we have auto pilots should be the most reassuring.
Sort of starting point for any discussion around You're already living with a computer. Your life is in its head.
And have been for years. Yeah, a lot of people listening to the show. Have gone from one side of the planet to the other thanks to a computer.
Yeah, at thirty thousand and you feel there's no where you feel more vulnerable than the air. Yeah, speaking of things happening up in the sky, Ashley with her family drove down to Victor to take some photographs of the Aurora Australis and got some absolute rippers. We're going to put them on the Facebook and YouTube live stream now. But actually joins us on five double A Breakfast, Ashley, good morning to you.
Good morning fellas.
Are we good? Thank you? Ashley? So whereabouts were you when you took these shots?
So we drove down an hour and twenty minutes from blair Affle down to Victor Harbor last night, just down to the.
Bridge and the pictures are stunning. Had you ever photographed it before?
No?
Never, So that was my first time.
So definitely a bucket list done.
Yeah.
Are you are you? Are you a proper photographer actually, because these don't look like you know when I whip out the iPhone to take a snap of something and this looks like high quality stuff.
So I am actually a photographer. But these were taken on my Samsung Galaxy S twenty five ulture on astro mode. Yes, so if you actually learn the techniques, you'll be able to use your phones pretty well.
Wow.
Yeah, so it was pretty amazing to see and we all got to witness it with the naked eye as well, which was pretty cool.
Were there lots of people around? Ashley? Did you know?
We were literally the only ones there? There was another photographer about half an hour after us walking down, but apart from that, it was very very quiet.
So the pictures we look at, we're looking at there's incredible reds and pinks and yellows. How much of that was visible to the naked eye.
The greens weren't visible, but a lot of the pinks were, so we definitely could see all the pinks.
Yeah.
I've got a two year old, sorry, a three year old, a six year old, and an eight year old and we've all seen it with.
Our naked eye.
Wow. How awesome. The kids must have had a great time.
Yeah, they absolutely loved it.
That's good. Was it late at night?
No, so we got there about seven o'clock. Can state it about an hour, so it wasn't too long.
It's a good thing for them to have up their sleeve for show and tell. That's for sure.
That's it.
So they're about to head off the school now and brag about it.
Excellent, well done, Ashley. Thank you for bringing us the photos. Our listeners are really enjoying them as well.
Stre Thank you so so much for this opportunity. Appreciate it.
Good to chat with you. Thank you. Actually we'll put those up on our social media as well as you can see Actuley's remarkable work. Expertise of a photographer with a phone, and it tells you how much the incredible the technology is.
There was some for photographic exhibition recently or awards that were for best photos taken on phones.
It's funny, isn't it.
You think about it now, who is the biggest manufacturer of cameras on Earth?
Apple? Apple? Yeah, crazy, isn't It's ridiculous. It's twenty eight minutes after eat five to blo news is coming up. We're talking about road safety in the state budget after eight thirty and also are you going to be able to park anywhere for the Royal Show? Jeez, I was going even last year it was tough. Ten percent fewer parks is going to make it trickier especially on one of day.
See people of the cardboard signs in the backstreets of Goodwood and waver are going.
To start jacket inflation. It's about to hit. I think if you want to park at the backstreet market you might be able to charge one thousand dollars on your front lawn. Five double A US talking about.
That next David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double A Breakfast.
Twenty one minutes to nine. We're going to be talking road safety very shortly with the RAA ahead of the South Australian Budget. We've spoken to the farmers this morning. Everyone's have been put in their bids well before now, but it's been interesting getting some background into the sort of things we're going to be talking about at the year back end of this week when the South Australian Budget does come out. There's another negotiation that's been going on behind the scenes between the Adelaide City Council and the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of say four use of the parklands for car parking for the Royal Show beyond twenty twenty six. So what we're talking about is not going to affect this year on next year this is twenty twenty seven onwards. They wanted a thirty year deed, their city council preferred fifty years. Sounds like the Royal Show people are happy with that. But the big thing that will immediately I think affect people when they turn up to go to the show, especially on busy days, is a clause in the draft deed, according to the advertisers reporting, requiring a minimum ten percent reduction in parking over the course of those fifteen years. So the population's growing pretty significantly over that time as well, which equates to three hundred and fifteen fewer car parking spaces. Will Rayner from The Royal Show joins us, now, Will, good morning to you morning.
How are you?
We're good mode, so we'll on's the thinking behind this is there some sort of concern on the council's part that cars do permanent damage to the grass or something. Because I live nearby, it seems to bounce back pretty quickly in my view, Yeah.
We would agree, and that probably questions for the city council, But we have had a great relationship with them for one hundred years now. Actually, because it's one hundred years at Waigi this year, so we're really thankful and working with them well to get this extension to the lease. As you said, fifteen years looks like the way it will go, but it is a reduction of three hundred odd parts over fifteen years, so it won't happen year one. And we're really lucky that we've got a tram station there, we've got a train station there, and over the longer term, we'll be looking for people to find other ways to get to the show. But the questions are why they're like the reduction I suppose of for the city council.
Is there less space available because there's been the expansion of netball courts and things like that over the last few decades.
Oh, I wouldn't have thought. So I think there's more space there. And to your earlier comments, we think it's there is no damage and there's already provisions within the lease that if it's wet and those sorts of things that would lead to damage, if they can close the car park. So we would actually like to say that there could be more there, but we're very thankful for the least that we do get.
Yeah, given the timelines we're talking about here, fifteen years and the Raw Show success is it's only going to get bigger. Adelaide's only going to be home to more and more people. Are you looking outside the parklands for potential long term parking solutions for the Raw Show?
Yeah, we'll find a park anywhere. Are those people that live in Wayville? I think with the cardboard out of front, some kids getting some great pocket money. It's a great problem to have. It means it's a really successful and popular show. So we'll always be looking for places to park. And you know, while we talk about public transport, we're essentially a show for country people, so there's lots of people that come down that don't have access to public transport either, so we need to make sure there's availability for people to.
Get there whichever way they like.
So we would like to have more parking everywhere as a general rule, but we often need to work really accouncil on the parking that we get, and we're really grateful for it.
Does the show worry will that if people struggle to find parking spaces though, that they're less likely to buy stuff at the show, because you know, you see people pretty loaded up, you know, not just with showbags. But you know, you might have bought yourself one of those sham weals in the Jubilee pavilion, or I often buy gardening equipment. There's that fantastic gardening standing in the Gida pavilion that sells all of those Japanese hose, really good secateurs.
And all those big sculptures as well. Some people might take the car because they're going to load up on stuff like that.
It's yeah, look what we understand and fully appreciate cost of living pressures. I suppose it's what you're coming through and making sure people get great value at the show. And that's why there's more than one hundred and three things to do once you get at the show. We haven't announcesid ticket price this year, but we can they will be very very flat, and I can say that children's prices won't be increasing at all.
Don't mention the war, mate.
The shows are not for profit. We're a charity in our own right, so we understand all those things. So we want to get as many people there as we can.
This is just part of that bit.
Yeah, totally, we love the show. We're like cars as well. The council doesn't like cars. It's good to separate us and the city council. Exactly. More cars, good on you. Well, we'll write the chief of the good news there is that it's not three hundred in the first year, it's not three hundred over a period of fifteen years, and hopefully can't hurt the world. Though more people should be in cars. This is beautiful thing about being an ade lade, isn't it. It's been wide streets filled. That's what he was thinking of, so many cars. Car guy. Yeah, love loves to hold in kernel light. Yeah, absolutely. Now, there was an incident that happened in the city earlier today. We got this police report at about six forty this morning from Sapold.
Yeah, about five all this morning, man, she says, as a call to a hotel on Morpha Street in Adelaide after reports of an assault. Upon arrival, they found three men within the complex with stab wounds and all three three men have been taken to hospital. Two of them are in a stable condition. The third man is critical but stable. Investigations are ongoing. It is believed that all men arenhown to each other and this was not a random incident. That anyone with information is asked to contact crime.
Now we spoke with Hayden Nelson, who's at the scene reporting for Sunrise and seven News. He's given us some more information on this. So seven people in total involved in the affray. None of them are cooperating with police at the moment. You heard Sapol there say three taken to hospital. A sixteen year old males stabbed in the back. He's in a serious but stable condition. A thirty one year old male and twenty seven year old mail with lacerations to multiple parts of their body. As we just heard, everyone was known to each other. At least one of them is from Adelaide. I believe that the others are as well. Four might have arrived before five am. There's no suggestion of gang involvement yet. But those are the broad sort of details that we're talking about that we've learned over the last two and a half hours on a story that's going to be a big one. I think over the course of the day, as say Paul reveals some more information about that one that took place in the city in the wee hours, it does sound pretty schass the whole thing, don't it. It does. Fourteen to nine, we're going to take a break. We'll check traffic and come back with the RAA on what they'd like to see in the state budget a little bit later this week with regard to our Roads and Road Safety register for the Big Brunch, because every bike counts. Go to the Big Brunch Drive dot Com.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double a breakfast, seven's.
To nine feel watch in a moment. We're to talk roads with Charles Mountain from the RAA as well why they want billions of dollars b billions invested in road maintenance in South Australia. But further to Breaking eight this morning, there has been what appears to be a closing of the ranks with the South Australian Liberal Party. We had had planned to chat with Michelle Lensing with regard to the State Council policy positions that have been adopted regarding net zero and she couldn't do it. Okay, that happens in radio. It was right on the death that was like ninety seconds before she was meant to come on. Well simultaneously, well my simultaneous half an hour later. I think ABC we're going to do something similar. Yeah, yeah, And there of your guests pulled out as well, which would suggest the email's gone around. It's just two things. It suggests they've decided that maybe talking this out publicly is not a good idea. But if you wanted to put the positive spin on it, everyone's pulled out as listening to whatever the directive is, so at very least in a strategic sense, they're singing from the same in sheet and it looks like a rare moment of success.
Vincent Tazi on the exercising of his authority where he's actually managed to get the party people to keep their mouth shut on an issue that had the potential to embarrass the party. The thing is, it's still a story anyway. I mean, I'm just calling it up now that there was a David PERSSONI who's a respected former minister in the Marshall government. He did a great job as the Trades Minister. He sent a statement around last night to liberal figures being highly critical of the fact that this net zero motion was put over the weekend. He said on what planet to people within the administrative wing of the party think that it's even five percent clay to declare elements have said failed policies to be okay, I have formed the view that there are elements in our party who are so ideological that they refuse to see that their rigid adherence to their views at all costs is part of the problem. And talks about how this bunch of what he calls virtue signaling motions. So it's there's strong statements already on the record, and clearly Vincentazi did not want some public slanging match to rupt, either on thirty ninety five Adelaide's five double A or on the National broadcaster.
The RAA wants one billion dollars worth of road maintenance in the state budget over the next four years, to be invested to in part work through what they say is a two billion dollar road maintenance backlog two thousand, five hundred k's of the road network the RASA needs urgent repair. Charles Mountain is the RAA Senior manager for Road Safety and joins us down five double A. Brick was Charles, good morning to you. Good morning, So you want a billion? How much do you reckon you're going to get?
Well?
I guess that remains to be seen. But at the end of the day, look, you know we've been asking for an increase in annual budget spending allocation for road maintenance for a long time, and we've got to the point now where we're saying it really does need a significant investment over and above what traditionally we've asked for.
So hencef one.
Billion dollars over the four year period of the government we think is reasonable given the state of task ahead. You know, every time we go out and talk to people in the regional areas when we do our risky Road survey, everything relates back to the condition of the road network, which highlights that the maintenance task is not being addressed at the rate that it needs to be. So at the end of the day, it means it's small problems turning to bigger problems turning to large, really large problems across the network. So hopefully we will be successful in seeing a rapid or a significant uplift in the amount of money that's allocated for road maintenance in this budget. You know, the other thing we're asking for is also a commitment for the Athlate Road freight bypass. There was federal money allocated at the federal budget in the election. The state government needs to come on board with it. We share the state government's view that federally the funding should be eighty twenty, not fifty fifty as was originally announced in the federal election, so we've written to the federal minister on that particular point.
So I think it is really.
Important that maintenance across the road network is critical and obvious the investment in the road freight bypass to to get that project underway as well.
Do you worry Charles the treasure has made no secret of the fact that there's a finite amount of money, and he's effectively said publicly that between the Women's and Children's Hospital and the upgrade of South Road, there's no money beyond that for major projects. Do you think we're in a position where we're focusing on fixing a long stretch of suburban road to save people time, but we're not focused enough on fixing rural roads to save people's lives.
Well, this is the difference between So one is a significant capital investment, but the other one is maintaining the infrastructure that we already have and that it was always an ongoing challenge, but it doesn't take away from the importance of doing it. That's why we've asked for the billion dollars over the four year period, so recognizing there maybe years when more money can be allocated to road maintenance compared to others, but at the end of the day, an investment of that magnitude is necessary to really get on top of the road maintenance backlog, and that's really where we want to see. Obviously, we welcome the capital investment that's happening on the freight bi of the North South Corridor. That is essential and has been talked about for decades. So this will be a critical improvement for Adelaide as well as will the freight bypass. But maintenance continues and does have to be appropriately funded, and we think obviously going into the budget this is the time for the go on to seriously consider lifting that.
Now, what's top of the pops, Charles, If you could get one fixed, what would it be?
Ah, Well, look, I think realistically the maintenance would be the main one continually. Victor Harbor Road is one, but there's a whole range around there that need maintenance. And you know, the government is aware of what needs to be done. It's not like they don't. Is simply a case of resourcing and timing and the maintenance is also challenging because it has to be accommodated within weather conditions as well. So there's a finite period each year when maintenance can be undertaken. So it is really important to ensure that it can be resourced so as and when the opportunity presents itself that critical work can be undertaken.
Yeah, good point, well, Charles, Thank you. Charles Mountain, the RAA Senior manager for road Safety. I think everyone would like to see Victaba Road made safer well, I think in the Southeastern Freeway. Yeah, and even thinking about some of the back roads in the hills, like that Paris Creek Road between Meadows and Strats. That's a that's a death trap that road. All right, we're going to leave you with a few watch this morning. It's better to be a member with RAA Roads Service. The cheapest is hundred dollar fifty again the United Wingfield Grand Junction Row dollar forty nine point nine. Price is pretty good actually this morning. The VP Exconvenience Daverren Park is a dollar fifty five point five. The United Melrose Park on South Road there at dollar fifty two point nine. The mobile at Shadow Park really good dollar fifty one point five and diesel. You can get diesel for under a dollar sixty the Shell Largs Bay on Jetty Road there dollar fifty nine point nine and the Solo Paraka Bridge Road dollar sixty one point five. That is all from us on this Monday morning. Stick around for Graham Goodings. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from
