No minutes after seeks. Good morning to you and welcome to Tuesday. On five double A Breakfast. It is the twenty ninth of April. Got a big morning ahead. We're gonna be chatting with Phil Curry in the Nation's capital, final week of the election campaign. Phil calls it better than anyone and does he see it? Where are we heading? What is going to happen when we hit the poles on Saturday. We'll find out with Phil Curry. We're a jury trial to conduct a little bit later in the morning. We're gonna be chatting with someone who has registered for the five double A Breakfast Democracy Sausage and we'll be running a barbecue on Saturday morning to raise much needed money for their community at our and na Joe Biggs expense given we put the sausages together. You can be like Jess Rodgers from the Gulworth Secondary School if you jump on the five to Blow website five toubla dot com dot au and register. We at twenty thousand of these to give away give away. I said, by the way give away, you then sell them and make money kaching commerce friends. We're gonna be chatting about that before seven o'clock this morning. So much in the news cycle too. David Pemberthy, good morning to you, Good.
Morning listeners, Good morning will. Will is of course right. The sausages are free, free sausages. So you know you might have already got some bog standard, less exciting and tasty snags and think, you know, maybe she just sort of pimp ower Barbie, use it up a bit, get something a bit a bit flash as well, and flash for free. You know, no, no money needs to change hands here, folks, and you know you better you'd better get in because we're going to be chatting later to as we'll said Jess from Goore Secondary School. It's such a great way for school, school communities, community groups to make money. And you know, for all the irritation of voting day, polling days, it's one part of it that I think is great.
You know.
It's the same way school footy, school sport becomes a vehicle for fundraising and so on. You know, everyone's standing there in the cold, not that it's going to be cold. You know it's going to be twenty seven and sunny on Sunday. You must have changed the forecast. That's what it was last right, a bit so Saturday, first weekend in May five.
Sunday twenty seven, by the way, we got Monday now twenty eight, Well that's beach week. We can't rule out a thirty degree day in the.
First in the first week of mine. If ben Jordan's up at about how many thirty degree days do you get in.
Ben Jorones sent me a very troubling crow statistic that we might reveal with Renny, Oh dear. That kept me up last night. This morning, Luca and I was extended messages first thing in the morning. What's around, what's just top of your head? What's happening this morning? Based on the reading we've been doing, the usually have a couple of things, two or three things, and hopefully and then over the course of the morning, the new cycle builds and we work out are the other things that are mattering today. Today's unbelievable. So beyond election, we had an announcement on the.
Conclave date in the Vatican.
We got a big vote tonight at the Charles Sturk Council on the West Lakes Fishing story. Big vote at the only council about the only oval fence. About a third of Europe was without power at various points overnight, and nobody knows why.
Sixty million people in Spain and Portugal.
Aaron Patterson is going to trial today the Mushroom Chef, a trial that I looked this morning to see who cares about this? I know it's big in Australia. The Washington Post wrote about it prominently like this is going to have global attention, this story. We've had a whole bunch of new inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We had that great story that came out yesterday that nine had with regard to these young fellas that have affected an extraordinary rescue off of West Beach, one of whom is going to be joining us on the show after seven o'clock today. There is a heap going on on this Tuesday morning. That West Beach rescue story is so good, and I'm going.
To say I drew a bead in my head between thinking about those horrible old buggers who bailed up and harassed those kids for fishing down at West Lakes and seeing the work that those fourteen year old, fifteen year old kids did it. We speaks, you know this, this idea that are the youther today, What good are they? You know, as as epitomized by the bullying and the and the foul mouth abuse that those older people direct the towards the kids for doing nothing so innocent as fishing. But I'll tell you what if you if you ever find yourself sort of shaking your head and tutting about the youth today, wait till you hear the story after eight of the West Beach rescue. Because those boys now, like the King g kids, they're just into it.
I was thinking reading that story, what's the average age of the first responders in water emergencies? I reckon they're often fifteen year old boys or fourteen year old girls, or they're like kids that have done surf life saving on weekends.
Great stamina, that's right, They go out there in all conditions.
Yeah, I mean sometimes it's the life savers then that come in, but so often it's kids that were swimming around the area.
When you think about the way we sort of relate to water, like you know, I mean, I'm quite happy to go out kayaking if it's if it's winter, I don't mind getting getting a bit a bit cool. But normally, you know, most people when you get to certain age think, oh, it's only twenty nine. I don't think I swim today. The water is a bit gold or no, it's a bit choppy. But you know, when you get these kids who start as nippers, ray and hale or shine, they're into it. It's an interesting question you pose about the kids of today. That's you know, we get into the world of the talk radiotrope year totally. But I get I wonder whether the reality today is the kids of today, to use that turn of phrase, that do bad things are as prominent or as bad as they've been because of how bale works, because of our.
Reluctance to incarcerate, let's be better than that, because of what we know about what incarceration does to people long term.
Well, yet in my parents, in our parents' generation, they end up in a boy's home. That's right.
Yet I wonder on the other side of the people that aren't, people that aren't out breaking into shops and homes at the night, They drink less than they have, they stay in school for longer than they ever have. Yeah, Like, I wonder if we've just got two extremes when it comes to you know, in the sweep of human history, how youth behave at the moment, the good are better than they've been, and maybe the bad or as bad as they've ever been.
Yeah, Yeah, it's funny, isn't it. Like you know, sometimes the fund self talking with milder Son Gym like, you're still pretty young, you're really going to do you keep doing your whole yuni degree all the way through? Or do you want to take a year off in between and just bug your eyes around for a while And goes, well, do you want to do that? Well, maybe you could like work, work more hours, maybe get a second job, save up some money, go traveling, and then resume your degree. And he's like, nah, that doesn't make any sense. Or rather just knuckle down a big part of its hecks. Well, yeah, you've got debts and obligation of it is hecks, which I reckon is one of the things that could actually be a nail in the coffin for poor old DUTs On saturd. You look at the percentage of young people who who are voting labor and I mean it's always always skewed towards them, but like it feels like none of them are voting liberal but none. It's just the Libs have become the boomer party according to the polls, like there's no one else voting for.
Him, which is where they failed to capture what Donald Trump's done in the United States, where young men.
Public drives, heaps of them, and heaps of Latinos and heaps of heaps of Black Americans who just when you're like, this guy is going to shake things up. And also the blue collar vote. I think that might do better with the blue collar vote. Interesting to see how it goes in you know, Spence and Kingston and places like that, out of North, out of South. But yeah, he hasn't got enough of a sort of new power base emerging elsewhere, like Trump has to get him over the line. I don't think No.
We'll find out, and we'll get more analysis from Phil Curry after seven thirty this morning.
Eill was going to be insufferable, isn't he?
Oh my god, leading up the Crow's cover game. We must have cut him short today. We don't have much time for Phil.
Normally, when you get I don't know, knowing Phil, he might still be ah, yeah, it was measures aberration. Do you think you will? I don't know. I reckon I having beaten Gelong, I think he might be gay. He doesn't want to believe because he's been too emotionally scarred.
We'll find out how Phil's going after ask him about the election. Yeah, so see what takes us. We're going to get to the news headlines.
Neck David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double a breakfast.
Twenty minutes after six, asking you shall receive from a residence stats men Ben Jordan, He says, gents, the record for temperature in early May the first five days May nineteen twenty one, which averaged thirty degrees. The fourth was thirty two point three in nineteen twenty one.
Ja, Ben, then I'll tell you what I mean. I don't speak on wolves behalf here because he's much more fastidious than I am. But I really like the fact that after ten years of working here, now for me, what passes for research is I just say into a live microphone, I wonder if Ben Jordan knows, and hey, you press though there it is on the text.
Line before before chat GPT and Glock, we have Ben Jordan, what is the capital of Honduras?
I just leave that one dangling there, Ben.
The conclave to what the new paper will begin on Wednesday, the seventh of May. It will take place in the Vatican Sistine Chapel. The Cardinals in Rome decided on the date yesterday at their fifth General Congregation.
So May seven.
Last time, the last two times, it's taken about forty eight hours. They vote once on the first day. Break Well, no, they had to talk to anyone until they work it.
Out doing jury duty.
Yeah, they're locked in. They can vote once on the first day and then four times.
Per day after that. Have any of the cardinals ever caused a mistrial? Someone did a bit of internet research. I'm one of the candidates.
Someone tweeted out Darna. Seriously, that's right, not.
This guy from the Philippines. You're kidding.
Fertility clinics are reporting a spike in the number of breaches relating to traceability and identification. The Fertility Society's Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee shows the number of identification and traceability breaches has more than doubled over the last financial year across Australia and New Zealand. NewsCorp says it was the most common type of breach and accounted for about one in five violations of the group's code, although there was no breakdown showing where the errors happened or even with which country. Interesting one for hackers or people trying to get hands on data, though some of the best seagull imitators in the world have gathered in Belgium. Is the story you've all been waiting for. Hang on, we got audio. This is going to be good. Around sixty participants from fourteen countries took part in the contest was divided into three categories, Junior, adults and colony.
Oh boy. Colony.
Performances were judged and how well they imitated the seagull sound and behavior. That give that man a chip. That was a ten year old boy from England who won the junior category. That was a good That was a good seed.
He's got a bit too squeaky, I thought the second half, but started tough judge. Well, what's colony though? Is that is that open to like what the former Belgian congo residents are allowed to people who lived under King Leopold's rule.
I think it means a group of people together like a chorus.
Okay, I don't know what am I saying. I've never been to a seagull imitating God. Betra wonder if there's a link between Belgium having the seagull sound competition and the fact that the Belgians invented the French fry Because the Belgians aren't masked chip makers. There's been a traveling seagulls from wayback. Yeah, you know the trick to you cook them twice chips. Yeah, start them low, and then when they're getting soft and they're basically done but they're not browned, put them in a sieve. Let them get cold again because it brings all the starchs to the surface of the chip. Then get the oil raging hot. When the chips are cold, put them back in the oil and they gosh. I can't take a crunch. But the more you talked about that, the more I felt like a seagull maybe to do the chip sound impersonation. That was a pretty good chip. I did a wattle bird the other week.
Remember, Yeah, that's why I think you're a little bit judging on the old seagull winner, because you think you could give it a crack.
Can you can identify some birds from their sounds? Can't you a magpie? Yeah? Okay? Any others?
Cook Barro, congratulations, but that's about that sees me out, thank you. Also, that's all the birds I know now.

They love that. They would, actually they would well, you know, with the garlic and the vino rosso red wine. Rosemary.
Do you want to know what's involved in the seagull imitating competition. We've got some more information. Lucy's done some hunting. What to do on stage? Asks a question in the FAQ section. Screech and behave as a seagull. Do it well because you only have one chance. The Championship twenty twenty five hopes to receive participants from all of Europe. You can participate and that's got the categories. Now we've learned a bit more information about the categories the colony teams of.

Tomorrow will be twenty degrees in partly cloudy, dry, Thursday, similar Friday, warming up twenty two and sunny before a beautiful weekend and a warm start the next week twenty five on Saturday, twenty seventh Sunday and twenty eight on Monday. Let's talk sport because Tom Ren's in the five double a breakfast a studio to make room for Reno's Augustine Mitsubushia having a stock clearance start. It's on now Nailsworth and Morson Lakes. Morning, Ready, Morning, Will morning, David. I heard you're talking a little bit earlier about the Crows and Carlton. We're getting ready for that game. So the Crows are desperately going to be trying to overturn a one match suspension tonight for a hit involving Andrew bray Shaw.
But Carton've got some issues as well. Adam Cherra has got a one match band where yet to learn whether or not they're going to challenge that for striking Jack Bows and Jack Sylvanne suffered a broken hand on the weekend and Zack Williams, who's had some issues with his calf in the past, has hurt that calf again. So they might be out with a few players. But that said, they're going to be a tough proposition come Saturday night. I would have well Saturday afternoon. It's that twilight game, which seems to be fairly popular this season, particularly at Adelaide Oval. So big game for the Crows, really big game. I'm looking forward to it.
Do you hold that much hope about the Mitch Hinge challenge? Not really?
It feels like hope, doesn't it. It does to me, I then I probably wouldn't use that turn of phrase.
And speaking of hitting, keep an eye on this young man. He's made one hundred off thirty five balls overnight. His name is the barv Suravanshi. He's done it off thirty five balls. This is how he brought up his century.
Got toller him a hundred. I just toty five balls. It's the fourteen hour, old boy, fourteen, we'll set the PA city of Light.
What so plays for the Rajasthan Royals. He's fourteen and he's made one hundred in the IPL. It's not a bad effort. He's fourteen. This is staggering, isn't it. Yeah, so the bar Saravanshi. I remember seeing Sachin Tendulkar burst onto the scene as a sixteen year old. I reckon it was and he played for India and you went, wow, this kid's going to be special. But fourteen, Oh.
No, I don't have to face this bloke for the next twenty years.
Yeah that's right, just some absolute prodigy. If India, if say you had a fifth eleven playing against Australia's fifth eleven, they would dominate.
India could fill their depths. Is ridiculous.
Ten teams that are all very strong. But yeah, amazing. So that is a name to keep an eye out for the future.
Good stuff.
Thanks boys, All right, we're going to take a break. Five double news coming up back.

It's that easy. It is that easy. What about context? He says, hooray, no more TV and radio political adverts. From twelve oh one am Thursday, will that include dopey electronic texts?
I think it. You think it does, doesn't that's a good question. I'm not sure if they're covered. You'd think they would be in the spirit of the law.
So what about this. I've got a text out of the blue light from an old maid of mine, Jonathan Hereen, who I went to Mariam Primary School with. Hadn't heard from him for years, he says. Get a Dave from Jonathan Hereen, living in China for the past twelve years. I hope you're going well here. There's an election coming up this weekend. Please I won't need. Please that I won't need to vote. But I've got a question for you. Who is the trumpet of the Patriots? I thought they were a jazz band. However, listen to this. I got text messages from them in the last few days in China. Now I've been here for twelve years. All I have is this Aussie phone number. I've got no other apps. I've got no gas bill, no power bills, no Medicare card, no bank accounts in Australia, nothing, So it must be voter phone giving out the numbers. Anyway. I know you're on five double A these days, and I thought you might find this funny. And if you're ever looking for a free country to get away from the BS, get over here. See you get on your John question. Didn't get any text.

Anyone getting on to c ZZ top tonight they're going to be playing as part of their Australasian tour starting at seven pm.

First timers that will be entering include Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker and Bad Company. It will also include some well known names from the Order of Pop because of course the Rock and Roll of Fame now is not strictly rock and roll. So Sydney Laupers making of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a totally valid entry to Sidney genius.
Yeah I reckon time after Yeah, that's ther last ever too, and she's not doing any right any think Time after time is like just a dictionary definition melancholy song, timeless class. It makes it makes you feel sad at the moment you hear it.
Yeah, this group too, the White Stripes entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
But that's such a good band. Two piece, yeah, guitar and drum and they get that sound. Seven Nation Army that song and everyone knows that from You can't go to any sporting event anywhere in the world without hearing Seven Nations at some point.

That's the Musical Influence Award. Also will be going to Salt and Pepper that the two that will.
Be going open at the seven eleven Sally and Hillcrest has called in because I think Sally has been trumpeted.
Sally, good morning, Good morning.
How are you are you.
Recovering from a good trumpeting? Sally?
I actually personally haven't received the message. However, that work. We use an online messaging up to some messages to our customers. We've got them there.
Oh really, yeah, so they're coming through on that on that mobile number, yep.
And that hasn't been signed up to any lists at any time because it's just run through a computer up.
Crazy. Yeah.
We had someone or someone yesterday text as that said their modem. You know, that's never in a phone has been has been Yeah, it's never been used as an actual phone line, but it's been receiving some texts.
Greg's text didn't thank you for that, Sally. Greg says, my wife and I are both with Telstra and no messages received by us.
The rains with Telstra, and she's received seven TEXTSRT the Rain's taken over the record as the most trumpeted person in Adelaide.
But Matt, on the other hand, says, morning guys on with vodaphone and I didn't get a text, so your theory is right, Well it's not. It's not the providers. And Matt says, however, I did get one from Mark Butler. Crazy the Rob Leiman also sorry Rob Rob, I mean not Robla. I don't know he Rob says. I see Chris Bowlders advising Spain on their electricity grid.
It sounds like slowly whilst we've been talking this morning. So Spain bought Juggle and parts of France didn't have power all suddenly turned off. Spain declared a state of emergency.
The scariest bit I reckon, what about the train from Barcelona and Madrid? What happened with the train? People were just on the train, and I think it's one of those very fast trains. I think the train trip's got four hours, but it takes six hours to drive, So it's you know, the train in Spain. He's moving fastly along the plane. I's doing one hundred odd kilometers an hour and suddenly you just whole thing stops. That would be terror in an instant, you know what.
The other thing that's scary about this orbit not in the immediate sort of existential sense that being on that train would have been No one knows why this is a classic computer says, no moment, this is not a cable's been cut. We've had power outages because towers blew over in out back South Australia, or there's been too much demand. This sounds like there's not so much demand. This is just everything went off and everyone's wondering why, Well.
It's not hot there at the moment. No, it's not hot or colds in the middle of spring.
It sounds like it's a it's probably a computer glitch on. There's something more sinister's going on, but even that, no one knows.
At this point in time. Old Diego and it he's having a tough morning.
Yet sixteen minutes to seven eight double two three double o double was our Abkin textas on the text lines here before zero eight thirteen ninety five, Diego, there's a lot of people that are currently feeling We're not a lot. Shall we say that there's some some of our listeners are feeling left out. They haven't been trumpeted.
Joe says, there's a word for that in Japanese.
Not being trumpet the feeling of not being trumpeted, Yeah, I don't know what it is. Let's chick traffic covert experience the difference today at the brand new Javisturt of Brighton Road at Summit and Park.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to line five, double a breakfast thirteen.
To seven, Just to tie off them loose ends there. Harry Fong is the man's name who sends you the text from Trumpet.
To the bait Roo. It's Harry Fong. Harry.
He's the lead Senate candidate for Queensland for Trumpet of the Patriots. So if you're vote above.
The line in Queensland, he's the man that gets how are you doing interviews?
I wonder Harry's a I was reading from their press release. Harry's a highly respected barrister with extensive experience in criminal law, civil litigation, dispute resolution, commercial negotiations. He brings a formidable legal and business background of the campaign and he can text like a demon.
The last Pip puts warnings shown.
Let's head to the weather bureau. Hannah marshes on the line, what.
Do you Hannah?
Good morning David and Will it.
Feels like not to get ahead of ourselves, but we're getting back into some warmer weather potentially in the latter part of this week.
Yeah, in the latter parts, but at the moment with a minimum of nine point nine, it's a bit hard to think about that.
Yeah.
But and also for today, expecting some showers around. So since nine am yesterday we've seen fools of generally less than a millimeter about the Mountain Lofty Rangers. We do have an upper level system that's going to enhance that shower activity, and the wind's just becoming a bit more southwesterly, meaning yeah, that we will see a shower to through the metropolitan area today. There is also the chance of seeing a thunderstorm as we head towards the afternoon and evening period, but they will be mainly about the ranges if we do see one form. In terms of maximum temperature, we're heading for a maximum of twenty one degrees in the city at Elizabeth, glenelg and nor Longer and eighteen for Mount Barker today. Then as we head into tomorrow, we do have a high pressure system that moves in pretty quickly clearing out the shower activities. So we're left with a partly cloudy twenty degree day on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The features probably those cold minimums again, but we are looking at sunny days. But as you mentioned, as we start heading towards the weekend, we see the temperatures get back up towards twenty seven for Sunday and twenty eight for Monday.
Amazing stuff, Hannah, Thanks for that, Hannah Marsh there from the Bureau of Meteorology. Well, it's said in say Pauls and he comes to all. Rebeca Stokes joins us. Rebecca.
We've had a couple of break ins night. Let's start with this one. Two people caught at a house that's under construction at Clemsig.
Yes, this happened last night. The owners of this newly built home on Hutton Street at Clemsig were related to two people inside the property about twelve thirty am. Patrolls quickly responded and located two people still inside the home. A twenty eight year old Clemsig man and a twenty five year old Saulisbury heightswoman were arrested and charges being unlawfully on premises and they were a bow to appear in court in June, but thanks to the quick response by police. There was nothing stolen and no damage to the home which is nearing completion, So a good result.
There, Rebecca. Also, a guy's been caught breaking into a restaurant in the CBD.
Yeah.
Just after ten thirty pm last night, please received a report of a man smashing the window to a restaurant on Pulteney Street in the city. Police were quickly on scene again and located a man inside the premises where he was arrested. And we also suspect that he's responsible for a string of similar restaurant break ins in the city in recent days on Union Street, Twin Street, Rundle Street and East Terrace. The nineteen year old Adelaide man has been charged with serious criminal trespass and unlost the possession, and he's expected to face further charges relating to these other break ins if we can tie him to them. He's been a few his police balein who appear in court today.
Yeah, great result because I'm sure that caused a lot of headaches for all those city restauranteurs or under enough pressure at the moment with the economy. So good on you're forgetting him. Seeing you comes to all Recca stakes there from stay Poul.
This was a nice exchange on the campaign trail. Yesterday, Tim Lester for seven years, was trying to record his live cross and the worst thing happens when you're a reporter on your own and you're trying to do your live well not a live cross. You're trying to record your piece to camera. Someone walks in the background or jumps around, and you know it's always some yahoo and this, I mean, this wasn't technically real.
Scenes today that Prime Minister Albernizi has stepped up the pace of his campaign with just five days left to Oh look who's here people?
You meet?
Nice to how a mate? I'm well and you good god, you're enjoying the campaign. I am, but you just completely wrecked the stand up there. I'm trying to help add some color and movement. Well, thank you, that was very decent of you. We'll see if we can incorporate take care. So there you go. Sometimes these things happened. That feels like the other morning when he wandered in just said out any guard all the color was draining out of my face to him, well, I thought you might have been playing some other audio of a chance encounter of.
The that he got from a random passer by in a car, a very earthy, pithy and dinky die Aussie endorsement that there is absolutely no way we could describe it on here. Those of you who've seen it and get it and found it funny, we'll be laughing like drains. But for everybody else who understandably would bulk at the profanity, because it doesn't get any more profane than that.
It's it's as profane as words. There is any what a times, what a country to live in where that can actually be a compliment.
That's what I was gonna say. Is as profane as language gets in English. Yet here, in an English speaking language, also a term of endearment that's right, bizarrely, must make foreigners sometimes hell has Where am I? What type of country? What type of English are the speaking here? I'll tell you one thing we do that's a little bit different than the rest of the world too. When it comes to voting. It's all about the democracy sausage, and we've developed our own here in five to Blae Breakfast. With the help of you, our listeners, and the great people at Najobi Beef have made this a high quality product that is going to be dominating barbecues on the big day. You can still sign up and register five to blaw dot com dot au.
It's as simple as that.
Get them on your barbecue wherever you might be doing, wherever it might well be, and whatever you're raising, funds for kids, sport, a new garden for a kind of the number of reasons, and that we've got people registering of many invaried and there all totally valid.
We don't care what exactly right we do, no due diligence on that front whatsoever.
Jess Rogers is one of those excellent people who signed up to get a whack of democracy sausages coming her way at the Gulwer Secondary School, where if you vote you may well be enjoying a democracy sausage before or after. Jess, good morning to.
You, Hey guys, how are you going?
Good things? Jess. I got to say the idea of it's going to be a beautiful sunny day this Saturday, the idea of being down at Goolwa with the sea breeze in the background, the smell of a sausage. It doesn't get any better than that, does it.
It really doesn't, And especially when it's on a slice of heritage pies and pastries bread which they have also kindly donated to us. Oh wow, best bakery and goolwer. So really within the Jobie sausages, the heritage bakery bread. I mean, if you cannot get any better.
How good is that? So what's the sort of what's the game of your fundraiser? Jess? Have you got anything specific in mind?
We do.
So I'm representing the governing council at the Gola Secondary College. We're a relatively new school. This is our fourth year and there's the education there. Sorry there's SA government supplied a lot of money to upgrade the facility, but there's still a lot of things that we'd like to do at the school. So one being we've got a really great space that we would like to develop into an environmental education space. So we'd like to create some teaching spaces in there, so it's like an interactive walking trail, some shelters so the students can take their laptops out there and observe the environment and do their work in an environment that's not actually just a class room.
What a great idea.
Yeah, it's a beautiful space and at the moment, it's really not been utilized, so we'd really like to upgrade the facilities around there.
So gool was secondary college correctly if I'm wrong, but because the big new one at all, Dinger, this sort of opened up around the same time as that. Didn't it was a promise to put a brand new school down there because it's been so much population growth.
Was it not?
Yeah, correct, I'm pretty sure Aldinger opened a couple of years before. Yeah, this is this is school was fourth year as a as a high school and yeah, the first time that Goolwa has had a public high school. So it's pretty exciting and it's an incredible school, it really is.
So it's a good a good call for other groups like yours. And you found it really easy to register and all that, didn't you easy?
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, super easy. And I told the rest of our governing council that I was like, hey, guys, so I've got sausages sorted, and they were like, oh cool, Like assuming I was just getting some cheap, you know, sausages from the Supermark And I was like, no, guys, these are like super good quality in the Jobe Beef like we because you know, he's down on the Flurio. We all know the the job be. They were like, what do we get those? Just like you man, don't worry, I'll look after you.
Oh, well played, Jacks. Magnificent work, good Jess Rodgers. There at the Guler Secondary School where look, if you get along.
Down there and do an absent T vote, yeah.
Will, I think a lot of people will head to videoing absent d votes where the Najobi five to Blay breakfast Democracy sausage is. Jess, that was the magnificent work. But if she said, actually no, the whole thing was an absolute nightmare. I regret at every step.
Of the way. It's spent eight hours on your damn website.
So it's all easy to use, easy again, and a lot of people have been signing up. And here's the thing, folks, I'm going to read out a few still plenty five to bla.
Dot com dot you is the way to go. Trevor.
At the Stradbroke Primary School in Ross Trevor, they're going to have the five to Blae breakfast Democracy sausage. Anita will be cooking the Barbiecok the Ranella South School. You can get our David and Will Democracy sausages there Louise at the Balaclava High School. And I like this one friend of the show, Jared, our resident pilot who text us all the time. He will be on the tools at the Port No Longer Surf Club on Saturday morning cooking up the five double a breakfast sausage. Excellent, do you think, he announces in the pilot voice. And we're expecting the sausage to be cooked.
These sausages coming in to land on the bread. If you can just stand there in the uproad position while we apply the young in giving you the option of source.
See, the only way you're going to find out is if you go to the Port No Longer Surf Club and cast your ballot on lunch of cast your ballot on Saturday morning.
Such good places are they Port no Longer Ballaclava? You know we support for choice. Yep. This is the thing, folks.
As I say, five double dot com dot a you we've got twenty thousand of them, so get in before they all disappear. You do still have time. If maybe you're like Jess and you've been tasked with getting the sausages simple, five double dot com do you do it today? Should we do a couple of text paps before we go to the news.
Yes, Joe in Henley says, I think we're going to need to ask good people who run the Democracy Sausage website direct to add a Najobi sausage filter, because I'd travel for one good idea, Joe. It's a great idea. Joe and seventy people talking about the political spam Cyril and Rose Parks. This morning goes on with votifone. I'm frankly a little bit upset. I've been trumpet at either. I'm starting to think they've forgot about me useless politicians. Boops. And I've just accidentally shut the window down so I can't read any text.
That's all right, because it's time to go to the news. So we're going to wrap in the morning stories coming up next.
Miss this up. We'll get one of the wiz kids in to do it.
After seven thirty, Phil Curial Joyye, we'll talk footy and politics with Phil, and we're god be chatting with one of the heroes of the West Beach rescue that was affected by a group of kids who managed to save a young person and a grandmother from a potentially life threatening situation. Incredible story that nine had last night. We'll have one of those kids coming up after seven o'clock.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast, but it's after seven.
Good morning too if youre joining us for the very first time. It's cool outside, but the sun is up and there's not too much cloud in the sky. Maybe a bit of a sign of things to come. That a part of the week and into early next week twenty seven Sunday, twenty eight Monday, and for election Day, A nice and warm twenty five degrees.
First taste of winter today, though it feels like winter outside. Not so much now, but early crime it was.
In single digit I think it was this first single figure morning with it at nine for a little while. It was nine week when we started the program.
That was cold.
I like this on the tech signe at Quintin, and this is by no way of overstatement, says the biggest regret of my life is voting early and missing out on the democracy sausage. Matt Pantellos raised a good point. He says, I hope no one at the sausages will ask the polling booth, question of have you eaten a sausage anywhere else today?
Well, yeah, that would be the there is no that'd be the way to spring people, wouldn't it.
What do they say about the democracy? Sausage eat early often? Yeah, that's right.
He said that was that Nixon vote early, vote often? No, I don't know. I'm not sure, not sure. I'll tell you what voting early I actually thinks as a country we are going to need to have a conversation at some point. We don't have voting day. We don't have election day anymore. We have the election season, we have the election period. The pre pole booth down in Booth beyond Goodwood Road, opposite the old tom the Cheaper Grace is there? That excellent euros and charcoal chicken place opposite barbecue bill anyway, nothing the earth food. I'm trying to talk about the election. But that place is doing a roaring trade. I mean the polling booth, not the chicken shop. The one all Dinger shops all last week absolutely crawling with people. I reckon it's hand, and I think that every time the tracks there there would have been between fifty and one hundred people, although a lot of them were probably trying to stick how to vote cards under people's noses, but it was it was chockers how many people are actually going voted on Saturday compared to previous elections. Half it was it was just.
Oh, I had this darta written down when we spoke about it, it was it was about half last time. It'll be more than half this time. You're right, though, and I'm not sure what are the downsides if we don't all vote on the day. Clearly individuals there are downsides. Maybe there aren't significant downside.
It makes the campaign less relevant, yes, because there could be some massive clanger today. You know, say Albo forgets the inflation rate or something like that, or comes out and says he's decided that eggs a dollar a carton. Who knows something or the good actually be something much more significant than goes to policy that they forget or stuff up. But you know, more than half the country are going to have voted anyway.
The phrase vote early, vote often has been variously attributed to three different Chicago natives in the US our capone Richard Daley, who was the mayor from nineteen fifty five to seventy six, and William Hale Thompson, the mayor from nineteen fifteen to twenty three, and then third one to thirty five, all three notorious for their corruption and manipulation of the democratic process.
Vote Early tolays out a good lineing corruption in Chicago, and.
They certainly have colorful history. All right, let's jump into what's happening here. Let's start with the federal election. Then the Prime Minister today we're talking about continuation of his housing policy, States being offered two billion dollars to help Labor achieve its housing target of one.
Point two million new homes. He'll be in.
Queensland to talk about that, because of course this is one of those curious Australian Federation stories where the federal government spends a lot of time talking about housing, but it's up to the States to ultimately deliver the housing. So two billion dollars in concessional loans to help fast track supply, that's what the Prime Minister is out doing today.
Interesting.
Peter Dutton continued what was a rich vein for him in the Channel seven debate on Sunday Night yesterday, talking about the appropriateness and relevance of Welcome to Countries in fact, that's not the right phrasing. He was talking about the frequency of welcome to countries here he is yesterday.
Would you consider it Anzac Day don ceremonies is an event significant enough to warrant a welcome to country?
No, it would be my answer to that. It's ultimately a decision for the individual organizers of the events, and they can make a decision based on their membership and what their board wants to do. I mean, that's the decision for them, and I'd respect that. But as listening to a lot of veterans in this space, and Anzac Day is about our veterans. It's about one hundred and three thousand Australians who have died in service of our country, I think if you're listening to their sentiment and we're respectful of that sentiment on ANZAC Day, I think their majority of you would be my read of our vets would be that they don't want it on that day. But as I say, it's an individual decision for the RSLs.
I think you can understand veterans in the circumstances which petered Up was talking about, going, well you a minute, it was sort of our day for the sacrifices that we've made, and you know the fact that you know, sort of risk our lives or lay down our lives to keep the country free.
But I think I think he makes a totally relevant point about frequency and what it does to a sense of ceremony and importance, because if flipp it around to something that's less controversial in flat, flip it around completely to something that we all agree is important and solemn, Anzac Day, the last post commagion. If someone said this is so important, we all agree we should always.
Be reflecting on Anzac Day. We should play the last post before every work meeting, how quickly before people start rolling their eyes at the last post. Now that's I'm using the thing that people are least critical with. So what's happening with the Welcome to country? For anyone who.
Believes it's a worthy and relevant thing, I think you're eroding its importance by having it done every time someone opens a biscuit tin in the workplace, which is what it feels like at the moment.
Well, there's one person who actually said exactly the same thing. Peter Dutton said about this. He was one of the co architects of the Ularu statement and the chief advocate for a Yes vote, and it was Noel Pierson. He said during the campaign towards the end of the Yes vote campaign ahead of the twenty twenty three referendum question that he thought it was overdone as well. But I don't know. I mean, I think there's two points. There's a difference between a welkoman a country and an acknowledgment of country. You know, you can you can say we are on the land of the other people, we respect their countries, what the full but the workman the country is like I actually think that it's probably become a bit of a cash cow for some people, you know, and in the same way that you know, having your reconciliation plan ratified as a as a business has become a bit of a bit of a money pit to paying outside people for stuff that's being done out of the goodness of their heart. And suddenly it's like, oh, you know, is this what pay the rent? Means that we have to keep digging deep for stuff like that. There's a bit of that to it all. But I don't know, I mean, is it going to swing the election.
No, I probably won't. But to me, it feels This feels like the word I keep thinking about the worm, the dial they had on seven the other night, and the one area whenever Peter Dutton spoke about this, it went really high. And what we know after the debate is it was a room full of people who thought Arbou did a better job. And it feels like the equivalent of after the US election, Democrats were polled about a whole host of issues, and you know what, most Democrats thought trans women shouldn't be playing and women's sport correct, and you know, they thought maybe we should crack down on illegal immigration. Like there's a whole host of things that when being totally anonymous, Yeah, they were far broader than they've often couched has And this feels like that kind of issue.
There are things you might say at the couch on home, at home with your immediate family, as opposed to in a mixed setting at work.
That's what that felt like to me, that dial moment on Sunday night. Big there's a whole heap of things that are happening in today. When I quickly run through what's happening today. Tuesday, twenty ninth of April in South Australia, in Adelaide. Nick McBride is possibly probably going to turn up to Parliament today. Of course, he's been charged with assaulting a person known to him, the independent MP, and with Parliament returning, there's a bit of speculation was he going.
To be there?
Should he be there? Well, the Leader of Government Business, Tom Koitz and Tonis thinks he should be.
His responsibilities are to attend Parliament and vote on important matters. He's got a job to do, he gets paid for him. He needs to come to Parliament.
So will he speak? Will he be interviewed? I can tell you there'll be a phalanx of journalists there that we'll be wanted to get a sense of what his intentions are. We'll find out that a little bit later today.
It's actually a bit of a rerun of the same debate that happened when David Spears stopped going to Parliament because he was sorting himself out. Very different though. What this bloke's been accused of is much.
Graver, much graver local government. This is a rich source of information tonight that we're going to learn about, probably tomorrow morning, the future of fishing at Westlakes. We're not in the lake generally, but in that Inland Lake on Delphin Island is on the agenda for the council meeting tonight. Under the current by laws, fishing at the artificial lakes allowed as long as anglers are six meters from private property. This, of course blot with a whole bunch of kids clashed with local residents and the videos went viral, and then fishing the local wreck fishes all went there and in a show of solidarity with the kids, went and fished there. Elected members are tonight going to vote on where the council should receive a further report to start the process of expanding the by law to ban fishing at the lake. Since twenty twenty three, seventeen people have made forty five different complaints about what's going on there, so that's on the agenda tonight.
Also hang on twenty seven people have made for forty five complins seventeen people, oh, seventeen okay, so it's three complaints per person, plates per person over the course of seventeen people. And how many people are there in the entire council area, I wonder will be the big tens of thousands. It's the same as the only Oval fence.
Well, I was going to say, that's also on the agenda tonight, which.
Is coming up. But you know how many people as a percentage of the community of the council area of Only you know how many people actually bothered to do the survey. It was about two percent. So what that shows is ninety eight percent of people living the Only AREAES couldn't give a toss.
It's totally indifferent to the concept of the fifth Cares. Cares costs thirty thousand dollars a year to erect since nineteen ninety eight. Sue doing the Step Footy Club says it's basically cost a million bucks and just temporary fencing and it looks.
Like rubbish on game day when I was there Sunday.
The friends of Only Oval, though, say Julie Mitchell said, a fence, however it's designed, is a barrier with no guarantee that community access can be preserved.
Julie, it's got a thing called an entrance. In fact, my understanding is it's got two entrances. So if you've at your what I don't know what age miss Mitchill is, but if she's mastered the art of walking through a door, She'll go all right with the new fence too.
The other big news this sport. Have just got an update out of Spain. This power outage in Europe, Spain, Portugal, parts of France too went off dramatically, without warning and seemingly without an incident, a precursor incident like a tower blowing over, a giant storm, a fire, or indeed just over use of the grid. It just went out. It's slowly coming back on. They're still trying to work out what the cause is. Have listened to the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who has just conducted a press conference.
We still don't have conclusive information about the reasons for this outage, so I ask the public, as we have done in past crazies, to seek information through official channels. It's best not to speculate. We'll find out the causes. We're not ruling out any hypothes is, but now we must focus on what's most important, restoring power to our homes. For the state, security forces and Core have increased their presence and surveillance on streets and communication routes, but for the moment, no impact on civil protection has been observed. I repeat, there are no security problems.
So we'll continue to follow that story over the course of the day. Let's take a break, we'll check traffic. Thanks to Lynn Andrew's real estate experts in commercial and residential property management, Lynn Andrews dot com dot Au.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five Double A Breakfast.
Twenty three minutes after seven. I think I said the meeting for the Westlake Stephen Island was being decided tonight. It was last night, in fact, so we're going to learn more about that over the course of the morning. Something we learned about last night on nine News. This is a remarkable story, and in fact, we started the morning talking about how often it seems to be young people that come to the rescue when people find themselves in distress in the ocean. A group of lads saved the lives of a grandmother and her grandson at West Beach. Happened back in March. They were out surfing after school when they saw a woman waving to them. And what I want to do is hand the story over to Louis Kempster, who joins us now on five Double A Breakfast. One of the rescue is Louis. Good morning, to you.
Good morning.
How are you going?
Yeah, good mate, Just so take over. You've seen a woman waving into stress. What happened next?
Yeah, So basically, I was just catching my last wave in surfing for the night, and we were with I was with my friend who I knew, and then there was two other boys who had only just met on the day. And I saw these two other surfers in the water helping out a boy on the rocks and they were struggling quite a lot because there was you know, a rip and a it was choppies, big waves. So I sprinted over the other side of the rocks and pulled the boy up the safety.
The footage, we've got the footage plague now louis on our on our live stream, so our listeners can can watch along at home or on the on their laptops. But you're right about how choppy it was. And then yeah, the woman saving the woman actually looked like the hardest part because it looked like you'd got her at one point, but then.
She stood off one hundred percent. Yeah, so she she it was the boy's grandmother. She had gone in fully clothed, just thinking that she'd be able to you know, walk in the water a bit, save him and pull him out. But once we had it in our own hands, she we lost sight of her. Like she literally drifted out at least fifty meters and it wasn't until we pulled the boy off onto the rocks that we saw her so far out. And then yeah, we had to sort of run down the rocks to where she was. We started yelling out to where her a main calm line in her back so that she could, you know, breathe properly considering how big, how big the waves were. Yeah, and yeah. Then once she got to the back of the rocks, I yelled out saying, there's some submerged rocks beneath you. If you can try and hold on, you get it a bit scratched up, but I think if you can hold onto those, then we'll be able to pulast the surfboard out to you and pull you in.
Wow, am, how old are you mate?
I'm sixteen?
And how long have you been out on the water? Were you like, were you a nipper? Have you been in the water all your life?
Well?
Not necessarily, I've never really done surf life saving, And to be honest, it was only my first, like I think it was my third time surfing at that spot.
Pretty bad.
Yeah, yeah, so I'm not I'm pretty new to the you know, to surfing, but it was good to be able to be there and experience that as well, so that now I know the dangers of the waters over there.
And you've you and your mates. You've never spoken to the grandma and the boys since, have you? You don't know anything about it?
We haven't. No, not necessarily. We hope to you know, have it renewn and see them again, but ever since, we haven't really heard anything from them. But you know, it's all right. At least they're you know, just happy that they came out of it safe.
Yeah, totally. Were they were they ausies or were they were? They? Could they speak English? What was the go there?
Because well, yeah, they could speak English.
The boy.
The boy struggled a little bit. I think he was autistic, So yeah, that was there. It was a little bit hard to communicate with him, but we may get him to safety. Yeah, and yeah, the grandmother had a bit of an accent, but she was speaking fine English. So that was all right then.
Because I saw a nine last night, there was a bit of a communication issue around it. But yeah, I was so lucky that you were there.
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it was very lucky and good to have a bit of a crew like three others.
Funnily enough, sorry you going.
Yeah, I just say funnily enough. I didn't know, you know, two of the others that were there, but it's we're kind of just after this obviously became friends.
Yeah, yeah, hey what did ask you about?
What?
What did what did your mum and dad say?
Oh, you know, they were they were very proud but and just said, you know, you've got to be careful going back there now, like you know, you know the dangers now. And yeah, they were happy with me though, and yeah it was good to see.
Mate, total legend. And you you've got the Australian mastery of understatement down pat as well. You know, if we're Americans, you'd be you'd be coming on it. You're pumping up your own ties about what a hero you were. Yeah, yeah, excellent, good on you, No, thank you, no worries. Good on Louister Gempster. Amongst a tree of guys that was interested. They didn't know each other. They've just been outsurfing. I hope his mom and dad were listening. How staked would you be as a parent? Yeah, it's such a very going, very proud of you. Let's not go surfing near the rocks during a rip again, that's right. I think it's good. And you know, kids need to do more of that sort of stuff. If they're capable, well, this is it. You get him out there, get them off the bloody iPads.
Good if they're good at swimming. Yeah, that's a great idea. There's feed a. It's not just a generalized bit of advice. Hey, everyone go swimming in rips near rocks. It's good for you.
You know, nothing we say on the program should be you know. It's like, what's the disclaimer at the end of those financial advertisements not to be taken as a financial advice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, future returns may not exactly. Yeah, all that.
There's been a three car accident a Marin Road next to Hamilton College. For citybound emergency responders at the scene. It's backed up to Sturt Road, we understand, so be wary of that one if you're in your travels and if you're stuck in Unfortunately that's the situation feat three car accident Marin Road next to Hamilton College.
A bit of sage advice here from Andrew for the pearl clutches of Onley Park. Living close to glenelg overlooks full ex fensed. However, the gate is open and the ground is accessible except for game day. So what you do is you just walk through the gate. That's right.
Glenelg Over is the living example of what it'll be like there. Five to B News is on the way. Phil Curry coming up in just.
About, David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.
It's twenty one minutes to eight. I do this with, you know, without much joy, to be honest, the real misgivings about the game this weekend. But it might be the kind of thing gets Phil Curry up and about on a Tuesday morning, a bit of a recent optimism.
All of a sudden.
Film lives.
And you can win here in Adelaide. Do you guys know the way to Adelaide?
Year we've lost Sylvani so I'm not sure. I don't know who's going to it's just fogging you back.
We don't know you're not yet.
He's not back. We might have a chance but without silver money, very difficult. But the flame of optimism burns fellas.
I'll tell you what, mate, you're probably working. You're probably glad it's not a September election because you wouldn't want to get in the way a Grand final day.
Well, this could be a Grand Final, but I think the game starts at four my time, and I'm going to start watching an election at six, So not good.
You want to drag it is.
Nothing that politics are ruining footy.
Do you have to do live filing these days? Phil? On Saturday night?
The Oh yeah, it will all be in there. You typing on our blog site and updating, updating our blog site in our website like everyone else. But I think most of them have been watching on TV. But yeah, it's what times a game? Yeah, we're going to miss that probably the last quarter, certainly, well Will or not.
Will's calling the game here for five double A in the gang, but then he's staying here in the studio and I'm coming shift, I'm coming in. We're doing we're doing a two hour radio special from nine to eleven.
Okay, we might not have a result by then, but we'll see how we go. It's looking pretty tight.
Yeah, is it tightening up at all? Do you think for the.
Liber It looks like it's so hard to tell, Dave. I mean, it's such a weird election whereas you know, definitely the momentum is, you know, it's advantage labor, and I think on the night I'll either be a labor minority or majority. But there's still these sort of weird things happening in the outer suburbs, especially around Melbourne and some parts in New South Wales, where the Liberal vote is still quite strong, and there's and that's on the back of a lot of One Nation preferences which they're doing really well out there, a lot of these sort of working class seats where there's high crime rates across, the cost of living is terrible, you know, lots of immigration problems. You know, One Nation's up there in double figures and a lot of their preferences are going to the Coalition. So this is why you see Peter Dutton spending a lot of time in these outer suburban seats around far Flong. These are old labor heartland areas as well, and so we're going to have these anomalies if you're like popping up all over the place, and I think that'll limit you know, will probably limit the size of any anything on the night. But it's it's really hard to pick, to be honest, but you'd say advantage labor.
Yeah, can I just start this is probably getting out of our films given everything you've just said, Phil, But what could internally Peter Dutton claim is the success if anything, if they lose the election, what stands up as a decent result.
For the Libs?
Do you?
I think, well, they're starting on about specially account. It will, but we start with a figure of the little carlitions on fifty seven seats. That's and seventy six is the magic number. So they are a long y age into the long way off. I'm about to get to a majority, but I think mid sixties and above would be a respectful result. I think they've got to get the sixty five, sixty seven, sixty eight. I think anything less than that there'll probably be trouble on the other side of the election inside the party room. The only thing sort of I look like their campaign has not been very good and there's going to be You could almost start riding the post mortem now in terms of not having policies really properly ready to go, you know, not being prepared to respond to the attack ads. Labour's attack ads have been just devastating on Dunton personally, and they just haven't sort of had anything to fight back. There's a lot of complaints already about you know, not being going to anticipate a few obvious things. So they're all coming out in the wash. On the other side, I'm sure if they don't win, why didn't.
The limbs do an attack out against Alba and Chris Bowing over energy prices and stuff like that.
These are the questions. I mean, someone said to me last week. The ads have been so successful they sort of knocked done and down to sort of unpopularity levels of Alberanesi and turn the election into one hundred and fifty by elections. You know, it's really about in many cases the popularity is the local candidate rather candidate rather than the leader, you know. And yeah, I don't know they're sort of scratching their heads on that, but I you know, I was in you going to a marginal seat, and they just just like carpet bombing Albansi, sorry, carpet bombing Dutton and the three ads in a row doing ad breaks, whether you're streaming or Foe to Wear or online or whatever, and they weren't firing back and they've been successful.
Well. The other thing too is the huge amount of help that labor always gets from the unions. But I thought the timing of the actu ads, which are all about bagging Dutton during the Channel seven debate on Sunday night, the first ad after every break, so the first ad coming straight out of the debate while Michael Lusher and everyone was going through that big post two hour posts more than that they did before they revealed the audience's result. Every single one of those ads was an actu ad bagging Dton.
Yeah right, that's that's that's that's what you do, right, They do it because it works. Yeah, we were getting trumpet of the patriot ads here.
Really, have you had a text? Phil?
I haven't. I must be the only bloke in Australia hasn't, driving everyone. I bought something on team the other week and I'm getting lots of other strange texts, but a fishing gear, oh and a bit of golf gear. But I bought a range find. It cost me sixty bucks.
Seriously, hundreds, are they Yeah, by six hundred, so it's still working.
Anyway, I'm getting a lot of suspicious texts and emails from Clyde. Nothing from Clyde. But he's a menace, isn't he?
Is he? Ever? Well, mate, we're going to try to hit you up for a five minute chat on Saturday night. You might be too busy feeday, ring.
Up, I'll be here.
Yeah, that'll be good.
Yeah, good.
Leave it to l after seven thirty and then we'll have an idea how things are shaping up. But it's yeah, it's got to be an interesting night.
Without at risk of being reductive, Phil, we'll get a tip from you before you go there, since this last time, we'll chat with you on breakfast. Who wins the election? Who wins pork crows, Carlton.
Labor, Carlton waiver, Calton Labor minority Carlton majority. There you go.
The political editor of the Australian Float Actual Review, Phil Curry. You know what we might do after the break Let's try and test the predictive power of the jury, shall we. Let's ask our listeners as of right now for the jury this morning, who wins the election? Not who you want to win the election. Who do you think is going to win the election? Based on who you've spoken to, where you are, what you're doing. Let's see what the how well the jury goes compared with Australia on Saturday night and will compare the results eight double two to three double o double. Oh, get calling now and the good news is someone on the jury will win a one hundred dollars Samtas seafood voucher. So you get calling now and you got a pretty good chance of walking away with the whole whack of fish. Who wins the federal election. Jurors will come back with your decision in just a moment. Come and experience the difference today at the brand new Jarvis toy to Brighton Road, Summitton Park.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.
In the criminal justice system, all defend in so innocent until proven guilty, either by confession, plea bargain or trial by jury. This is one of those trials.
Yeah, we're doing something a little bit different with the jury this morning. It is the week of the federal election. More than half of Australia will have by the time we get the polling day on Saturday. So they're asking you, our esteemed jurors, who is going to win the election? Not who do you want to win the election, but based on everything you've seen and heard, people you've spoken with, your neck of the woods, what you're seeing in the coverage, who do you think will win the election. We'll see how good the jury is of predicting the outcome of a future event as opposed to adjudicating on the eels or wherew'falls were the things that have happened previously. Let's go to during number one. During number one, good morning, who wins the election?
Good morning, I think it will be Labor with an extra one or two seats majority. And the tip from me is that I think after the four dollars does an eggs slip, that mister Dutton may will be in real difficulty in his own seat.
During number one, Thank you, Jerny, I have one point margin, put tipping a bit into that campaign.
During number two, Good morning, Good morning gents, I'm tipping liberals with a minority. When you have a look at a lot of the media outlets were doing their online polling, you see big numbers in favor of the liberals over labor towards who's going to win.
So that's that's my pick.
Okay, thank you, juring number two, DoD you're a number three.
Good morning, the morning boys.
Well there's going to be two winners, actually, one of the mockery sausages and labor.
I like what you did there during number three. Excellent democracy size, it's still available. Five to blay dot com dot are you during number four?
Good morning, Yeah, good morning boys, two minutes again. Yeah, politics will be the winner. That's that's number one for all your nerves out there. But I reckon this could go like three or four or five days. I reckon labor going very very hard to try and form a minority government.
Thank you during number four. Do your number five, Good morning.
Good morning lads.
I think it'll be a labor minority.
But ultimately, looking at our national I think the country is going to lose overall.
Thank you during number five, and as standard and pause said something similar, didn't they about elingin spending in our triple A credit rating? During the number six?
Good morning, good morning.
I think it's red with a tincher green.
Thank you during number six, So I think we were pretty close to a consensus there, didn't we five to one, five to one, there'll be a labor victory, and the majority of those said it'll be minority, didn't they.
Yep, And these same sentiments are coming through on the text line. A lot of people are saying, even though they don't necessarily like the idea, that they think that labor is going to get back. A few here, like Peter from RsTen I believe in minority coalition win. Labour's handling of the cost of living crisis has been pathetic. A couple of others saying that Peter Dutton's trying to latch onto the welcome to country stuff to do a Trump in the final days. One here from donner Can plaining about the amount of actu ads that we're on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, and Ezekiel speaking for a lot of people, Zeke says, we're all going to be losers because we don't have anyone with a vision and foresight to engage in reform and nation building that will overcome our current crisis. We need to pick a winner from the juris now.
During a number four one hundred dollars Semtis seafood voucher is coming your way.
Excellente get you a lot of fish.
We'll see how the we'll see how the jury stacks up when we get the results Saturday night. Of course, we are doing our election show live as we always do, nine to eleven after the Crows Carton game on Saturday, you can tune into five double A and hear our coverage. Matt Pantell, let's loo kick it off, and then we'll come in a little bit later in the evening and then hopefully by then we'll lab something approaching a result.
Hey, big thanks to Reno in Tyrensville. I hope you're listening. Mate, Reno and names to me. Dropped off a box of chestnuts for me and I've cooked them up. I'll tell you what they were still in the smell amazing, the husks, not the skin, the actual spiky outer shell like sea urchins. You need to wear thick asbestos. Yeah. They're good, terrific, designed by nature not to be opened. Yeah, I know, incredible, isn't it.
It's coming up to six minutes to eight doable. Two to three double is the number. If you'd like to join in the conversation of the program. You can text us too on zero four eight zero eight thirty ninety five. I've been mentioning all the things that are going on today, and we're going to learn more about today local government stories, state politics. Nick McBride in Parliament. One of the things that we mentioned right at the start of the program that is going to be getting global attention will be the trial of Aaron Patterson. It's a triple murder trial. You might recall the name. Miss Pattison served a beef Wellington dish with mushrooms at her home in Victoria in twenty twenty three, remarkables that long ago now it was two years ago, which allegedly result in the deaths of three relatives and the hospitalization of another. So the Supreme Court of Victoria is sitting in more Well for the trial, expected to run five or six weeks. Now, of course, that depended on the fact that she ultimately pleads not guilty, as has been her public statement to this point in time. We'll find out. I wonder if it changes a little bit later this morning, so she will be in court this morning. This has been an extraordinary trop. We've spoke earlier about the Washington Post has written about it, huge amount of international attention, a lot of local attention, this podcast that have sprung up about it. One of the issues in terms of the logistics has been this more well, not a big place in Victoria, but there's a huge number of people that are trying to turn up to get to the trial. They're expecting big attendances every day. Not a big place, but lots of people have come into town for it. It's going to be an absolute circus and it all start a little bit later this morning.
Hey, this could have been a breaking at eight, but we've got another breaking at eight lined up. But this is an excellent and long over due result. Greg Jenkins, the son of Anna Jenkins. The Jenkins family have scored a massive win in the Penang High Court yesterday. You remember Anna Jenkins is the Adelaide grandma who in a presumed robbery gone wrong and was murdered in Penang back in twenty seventeen. Well after years of banging his head against a brick wall, Greg's had a major win. The judges ruled that there was no proper police investigation into Anna's death. The judge also ruled that the previous coroner made a premeditated decision that lacked any basis of evidence. Also, crucially, she could not rule out a homicide well, and the judges now requested for the Penang Attorney General and the DPP order a reopening of the case from the time that Mum's remains were first found at the burjeyre construction site to determine the origin of the crime scene and answer all the how, why, where and whens as to when mum was brutally killed. And hopefully this will also lead to a huge result. It's great, so everything he wanted, well Trot. We'll get Greg on the show tomorrow if he's back from and he's been up there more than forty times under his own steam. He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting for justice for his late mother. But this is a really great outcome for the Jenkins family. We've had a lot to do with them on the show over the last five years. And Greg, if you're listening, more power to your arm. A lot of people probably would have said, you know, give up, mate, it's all too hard, you're never going to get justice. Well, that's a huge result.
Clearly, the upper echelons of the judicial system in Malaysia are untainted by whatever caused.
Previous entities to have little interest in exploring this. The police there could not have done it. Worse, police didn't care and it was all about avoiding embarrassment at this brand new, multi million dollar property development, all these lavish condos where this poor Adelaide mother's body happened to you found you know, they're about to sell all these properties in a country where you know, I mean, I'm sure plenty of Anglo Saxon people would have a similar view. Would you might bulk at the idea of buying some flash apartment if you found out that someone had been brutally murdered there? And I think that the way the police handled the case, it was nothing short of an insult to the Jenkins family. But a big breakthrough. And yeah, we'll get Greg on for a chat during this week.
That's a terrific result. Five double A news is coming up. Breaking at eight is not too far away. Remember Fivedbla dot com dot au is the place to go if you want to get yourself a whole whack of democracy sausages. Thanks to a JBBEF we've got twenty thousand of these that have been made, so many people are registering in the last twenty four hours. I think people running those community barbecues have turned their attention to it. A lot of schools, which is terrific, that are using the funds to develop things at the school or experiences for kids and whatever it might well be. You register at the website, we give you the sausages, you sell them for whatever you want and raise money for whatever cause you like.
It's as simple as that. It's all upside, it's all profit exactly right. And there's still sausages available. So head quickly to five double a dot com dot au the wind page and sign up for the David and Will Democracy.
Sausage David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double A breakfast.
Hey minutes after breaking eight is coming up in just a moment. Love you to be part of the show of the course of the next forty five minutes or so. Eight double two to three double O double is and number. You can also jump on the text lines be four eight zero eight of thirteen ninety five, the news headline out of the weather, beyond it being cool. Everyone is up this morning. We'll have noted The fact that it was cool today is that over the weekend, be looking beyond the election, it is going to be seriously warm. You cover the barbecue to protect them from the sun. The same goes for you. Be son smart and cover up. You're probably going to need it this weekend. So yes, today, we hope we're going to we get the fourmulas of rain that is forecast that would be terrific, be dry and mild for the rest of the week Saturday though twenty five, Sunday, twenty seven, Monday twenty eight degrees crazy. That is remarkable for the early part of May. Orbit, as our residence stats man Ben Jordan told us nineteen to twenty one, holds the record. It was over thirty that first week of May the average temperature, and thirty two point three one of the was the top for it. So we've been here before and rangees it's been one hundred years. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, let's hope some of that rain comes today. Let's go breaking it out.
Well.
The Charles Stir Council is considering introducing a fishing ban at Freshwater Lake on Delphin Island. Now this is obviously the place where that bunch of older people, some of them completely lost their rag and were swearing and shoving the young kids who were fishing there early this month. It's become a flashpoint for some of the locals who believe that native grasses are being trampled and that there's noise and littering emanating as a result of the behavior of these pesky young kids. Well, they appear to have got a sympathetic ear among some of the councilors to find out exactly where it's all at. We're joined now by the Chief Executive Officer of the Charles Stir Council, Paul Sutton. Mister Sutton, Good morning. So did it actually go to a vote last night? Is there is there majority support on the council for a ban on fishing at Delphin Island.
Morning, David morning, will Yes, it did go to a vote. Essentially, we presented a report last night which offered two options, and one was that we pursue a complete ban on fishing at the lake, and the other was the principal recommendation was that we rather than do that, we leave the by laws as they are and focused on an education program of the young fishes to make sure they understand the obligations when they're fishing in an area that is inhabited not only by fish but also turtles and ducks and other wildlife as well.
So which of the two approaches is going to be taken.
So the existing by law will continue, And that basically says that, yes, fishing is able to occur in that lake. The only condition is that the fishers need to stay about six meters away from the surrounding property boundaries just so they create a bit of an interpace zone between properties and the fishing activities, so fishing will continue in fresh water lights.
Well, that sounds like a good result because from my reading of it yesterday it looked like there were some councilors but it sounds like a minority who were advocating for a total band, so clearly that grouping didn't hold sway.
Yeah, that's correct, David. Essentially we had presentations from Ash, a desiree from rex Fish SA, and another fisher who's a local resident, Tyson Hawsway. They really put the case that fishing cannicare really quite responsibly in an area such as this, and it was a good debate. Most of the councils spoke to the topic, and in the end it was an overwhelming decision to.
Do as I've described, Yeah, because from what I was reading yesterday, the Reckfish has made a good point that there are actually some people who deliberately chose to live on Delphin Island so that they or their kids or families together could go and wet a line there. So as long as it's been done in a way that where there's none of the sort of trampling of plants or other species like turtles, and someone are being caught in it, then you know, let it rip.
I reckon, Yeah, that's very much the case. And one of their councilors actually brought along to the meeting some of the original diary notes from the developer of Delphin Island back from the ninety seventies, and from that she read some excerpts that really described the intended use back from the very origins of the development of the lakes, which taught to a place that would be inclusive for everyone, that would involve recreational activity, including systems. So I think that was really comforting to many elect members that had always been the intent.
You might not want to comment on this pol but it looks to me like this is one of those examples of the sensible staff at the council sort of doing all of the good prep work to steer a common sense outcome regardless of what some of the other councilors might be advocating.
I wouldn't go that side, David. What I would say is that our council is a rational and really thoughtful group of people and very very rarely do we make a decision that is unbalanced or swayed in a silly way. This is a council that is really mindful to weigh up all angles of things and it makes good decisions.
Yeah. No, well, this is a good decision and we're glad that you were able to come on to reveal it this morning, fresh off the back of the meeting last night. Paul Sutton, the CEO of the Charles Council, thanks so much for joining us this morning for breaking at eight pleasure.
Thank you.
Good, there you go. It's good. Sanity has prevailed. Sanity has prevailed, just on the only council. Council voted nine to three last night to go to community consultation again on design options for the fence at the Oval still more stages to get to the final vote as to whether to install it, but it looks like they are moving slowly towards continuing to look.
At the last the opportunity if there was an appetite to just say no, we're stopping it. Yeah, and they've not done that, but the councils.
The council was pushing ahead with it despite the fact that the forgotten people have only parts seemed to be up in arms about it.
I've gone down a rabbit hole that I've spent too much time looking at because we had a text from someone a short time ago, tiny from Montague Farm, who wants to know if you're going to how many informal votes we're going to get across the nation, because he says, I think there are a lot of people that don't care what happens on Saturday and a very disillusion with the whole event. So last how many informal votes during were cast at the twenty twenty two federal election.
Isn't it normally about three percent? It's more than that normally, So it was eight hundred and two thousand informal votes were cast at the last federal election, which is five point one nine percent if informal votes, So this is donkey votes wrong. They're doing enough well.
Informal is just everything from people who didn't follow the instructions. You know, maybe they ticked instead of writing numbers, or they wrote donkey on it, or it's everything that doesn't count. If they were a party, they would have polled. They would have the fourth highest primary vote in Australia, just ahead of one nation in United Australia. So they had seven hundred and twenty seven thousand votes and six hundred thousand votes respectively. Then vote total was eight hundred and two thousand. In terms of the informal vote percentage, which state do you think had the highest or territory and which had the lowest?
I reckon Queensland would have had the highest.
Queensland had the lowest. Outside of the Act seriously, of informal votes was the highest four point one seven percent. New South Wales at six point two to two percent was far and away the highest, So five point one nine percent it was, And I like the AC does this swing as though they are a party. It was a point zero point three to five swing against the informal vote at the last election. So we actually got better over the course of history. It's really fascinating. There's obviously issues around the time. So back in the nineteen twenties it was it peaked at about five percent of the informal vote, but generally was under three. By the time you got to the post war period, it was under two percent of the vote was informal so in the late forties and early fifties before jumping up to being just under three and it stayed that way largely until the eighties. Then nineteen eighty three ish, it looks like just going to get a graph, it jumped over six percent, was the highest informal vote we'd ever had in Australian history when Hawky got in.
That's right. Then it dropped back down in the late the late eighties early nineties to under three percent, and then it's sort of settled in between.
Mid fours and six today. So we've dropped the last two elections, it's been less fewer informal votes than they have been in the past.
It feels like it will go up this time. Yeah, it's been interesting thing to based on the commentary guess about and the public feedback of people just going I wonder what the impact a trumpet of the Patriots Party is on that, because a lot of people that may might park a vote there where historically they may have just written donkey on the thing. Yeah, but interesting, Thank you for that, tonybbit hole. Don't write rude words on it because someone has to read it. There's an aec scrutiny you're reading it. Maybe just write a nice message to them, dear scrutin near you're doing a great joading informal. I hope you're having a nice day. I don't really like any of the candidates all their policies. That'd be lovely.
Now we're just getting some more information about that crash on Marion Road outside Hamilton's Secondary College. Apparently this one's causing massive delays for citybound traffic over fifteen minutes and cars are back to Sturt Road. So if you're in it, it's cold comfort, but that's the source of it. If you can avoid it, that would be a good way to spend your time.
Good text from Scott here in Mobray. You see his morning boys in the Santa Poto through too. As someone who loves carp fishing in all sorts of places that you wouldn't think the fish. Here's a shot of one I caught in the Torrens yesterday. To the people who want to ban fishing, think of it this way. If the kids are fishing, they're not out there stealing cars, we're getting into trouble. Good point.
Fishing, great thing you can do as a young person independently as well.
I fished all the.
Time as a kid. I was absolutely obsounded with it. Down to Westlakes, Yeah, out of the lake did it all the time?
Did you only ever get carp?
No, not car that's the the inland lake is the one that's fresh water, right. The rest of the in the estuary. Yeah, with the rest of the lake is from the Port River, So you're getting like.
Bream, brim, mullet head. Yeah. Did I never caught any. I never caught any flathead, but I wouldn't. I'm hopeless fishing. Yeah. I was obsessed with that as a kid.
I absolutely love fishing books and tackle box and all your different rigs and whatnot and knots, and you love were you were a bait or a lure guy. I will bait generally. I didn't have much success with the lure in the lake. Tried a bit, but I didn't have the patience for it.
What about crabs? Do you go down down to Grange Jetty and try to get crabbed?
I haven't, but I often walk along with the jetty and sleeple having great success with the crabs. Gone raking for crabs lower Light Port party have not done the raking. It's good fun. Yeah, okay, I'll add that.
To the list.
Let's check traffic. Come and experience the difference today at the Brown New Jarvis toy to Brighton Road at Summiton Park.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double A bre access that's.
What you three minutes after eight. It takes some calls eight doable two three double O doubles the numb. If you'd like to jump into the conversation, you can textus as well on zero four eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. There's been a big response to breaking it out with regard to that decision not to band fishing at the inland lake at West Lakes. We get this more of those shortly first, but.
The line but it goes wait until I see where you're going. Yeah, good, it's just coming and listening to radios. What happening with politics? I mean, I don't know, and I love you probably do the trumpet of patriot or advertary on lepide and center, which is great one of their messages, you know, I think a pretty good for the way. I think that would you guys know who they give their preferences too.
That's good, But I don't know either one. It might change depending on the electrics. I know that there are some candidates in some seats that are preferencing Greens. Others are saying they're not preferencing them at all. It varies from seat to seat, depending on, you know, whatever the tactical sort of outcome they're they're trying to get is. But I'm not even sure I think they Their stated position has been that they preference against the major parties. But this is where they ultimately they actually got a lot of flat a week ago because in the till seats they're preferencing the teals ahead of this is where well that's why they so they had this great idea, well where where the protest vote, so your your preferences will go to the major parties last. But then that does invite the criticism that if you're running on a platform of net zero is a hoax, climate change is a heap of whoy and we're all too woke, And then you end up preferencing Monty Grian and all the other teals. He's sort of missing the policy point a bit, given that they're probably the most to use that.
I was crazy anyway, Thanks guys, I guess I'm no better. Thanks for your feedback on that.
Get on your way. Thank you for that, mate.
Yeah, I mean, ultimately, the problem with the preferencing major parties you have to do it at some point, and in the vast majority of cases it's going to work their way to one of them.
Yeah. Yeah, that's just that's how it ends up going. That's how the system works.
Yeah, exactly. It's a good question, tho. I'm going to look up some of the local hat of vote cards and see and get some examples. Here in South Australia, here was that Wayne Phillis.
Wayne Phillis, Yeah, not Phillips Phyllis. You couldn't hear because of the sound. Yeah, it was at a little bit tough on the old speaker phone. Yeah, she would have some more texts ER four zero eight thirty ninety five. Yes, one here is saying that in Stir they're preferencing the tills, who in turn are preferencing the greens. Enough on that we've got a mountain of feedback about the Charles Sturt situation. One here from rossall like this, Hey, guys, will I was a late ranger for many years and I witnessed you fishing out the front of your house. Hopefully I wasn't getting reported, and I know what about that. Hopefully there's a statue Limitations Lake Patrol they used to be called. They had a little boats. They'd go around and make sure people went up to no good. Oh really yeah.
It was like a like a Westlake's police force effectively, and people that you couldn't have, you know, motors, outboard motors for.
Example, in crafting the lake. And they would get around and make sure people were observing all the local laws and wearing life jackets and all that sort of stuff. It was the nineties about that kind of stuff. But then I got told off once kayaking on my own down at Port River for not wearing a life jacket. I had it on, but it wasn't done up, and this guy stopped me. And I was literally in a foot of water in the mangraves and he was sitting them. Give you a warning for I could get out and walk from here. He said, that is not the point this country. How are you governed? Are We's ridiculous Australia. But he's always having to go Well, you know, you might say you're in a met a little bit. What if the wind picked up and suddenly you blew out the sea?
Well, can't be too careful. Personal responsibilities, I know, sort of a concept. Twenty seven after five Double A News is coming.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five Double A breakfasts.
Twenty two minutes the nine. A lot of texts coming through on the text lines before zero eight thirty ninety five. We've got a good question from Wayne Phillis who called it in a moment ago regarding Trumpet the Patriots, who he said he locks the sound of some of their policies, had a query about their preferencing. I've got a better answer, haven't we. We were correct in saying before the break that there were preferencing against the major parties but the way in which that works seek by seat is they preference the incumbent last. So in Sturt, the Liberals James Stevens would be preferenced last. Labour's candidate second last. In Booth B Louise Miller Fross, Louise Miller Frost, the labor candidate would be last. Nicole Flint, the Liberal candidate.
Inie second last will last. Yeah, so and so on.
It's the major parties the last two positions, the incumbent in that seat in the last place.
How good mate, Terry and Henley Beach says Albo was viciously slammed by the media for weeks when he forgot the cash rate at the last election, but barely anyone brackets. You've mentioned it, but not with the same gusto as you did with Albo, and the press have gone after Peter Dutton having no idea on the price of a dozen eggs. I reckon the eggs clanger is pretty well known. I'd also say, respectfully, Terry, I reckon forgetting the official cash rate for what people pay for their mortgages. Slightly graver than being a bit out when it comes to the price of a dozen eggs.
Well, it's one number that's set by a central bank that determines Yeah, essentially everything with regard to you know, people's own line is.
The cost of living like it's but you know, fair point, Terry. Well, but it was a clanger, no doubt, it's a clanger. It's one of those things that it's just memorable. People's go looks to daisy. You don't want too many ups to daisies, do you, No, you don't want to probably had too many as well. Yeah, Now this is an interesting story. You might remember a few weeks ago, I think it was, we spoke with our next guest, Mark Aldridge, who is running as a candidate with the trumpet of the Patriots, who have been receiving a lot of coverage over the last couple of days in light of mister Fong's nationwide texting habit, where it sounds like millions of Australians have received these unsolicited, unsolicited texts, some of them several times. We've got Mark on the line, now, Mark, good morning.
Has been morning guys?
Has there been some sort of drama with your your candidacy? Mate?
Oh, it's been a drama from day one for me. I mean, you know, I'm kind of always politically been grassroots upwards and the party's been run top down, and I think there's been a lot of issues across the board. You know, you've spoken about preferences, You've spoken about the whole SMS scandal as I would call it, And each time we discussed these things with a higher art here or attempt to it's kind of like people don't matter or minor things don't matter. And politically, I've always believed it's you know, that every every vote matters, having been in the bottom end of politics for a while, so I had initial issues with the preference preferences put out by the party and then and I made it quite clear that I was unhappy about that. Then then of course they changed tacked and said that they were hacked and that the preferences are now going to be with the major's last which is you know, it's an old technique that's failed in the past. I have no idea why they've adopted that, but it still means that I'm supporting in a lot of seats, my party's supporting, you know, the left of politics rather than the conservative side of politics, which is what I was led to believe would be doing. And then of course, you know when you look at this, this intrusion on people's phones, I mean, we're not It's not like it's never been done before, but it's no opt out option. And when I put that to the party last night and said, this is just not working. I'm getting too much backlash. Can change it. And they said, well, it's this probably disgruntled labor and liberal supporters, and I said, no, it's not. It's my own friends and family that are contacting me. I think it's the dismissive attitude of not mattering in the grand screen of their campaign. But it matters a lot to me.
So, Mark, you're you're so, you're listed as the trumpet of Patriots candidate for making Are you still going ahead with your candidacy given these grievances that you've got with the way the party is operating.
Well, don't think I've got much much option. I'm on the ballot paper. People have voted already for me that I know. It's going to be a hard ass to win a seat, you know, a safe labor seat, where as it's been known for some years, a couple of decades now, but I think the biggest issue was the preference deals that you Palmer's put out early in the piece as a resulted in Labor and Liberal putting each other over me. So it would mean I need to get a pretty fair whack of the primary vote, which I don't think is possible, but I'll give it a good try. I can't really do much about being on the ballot paper, to be honest, But are.
You saying that you regret it now? Do you feel like the party sort of the way it Jack did is not what you expected from them.
It's not what I was promised. So you know, I'm a man of integrity. If you make a promise to me, I expect that to be upheld. And that's not happened right across the board with the party. And I'm not attacking the party canvas by any means. There's some very good candidts running for the party that are putting their hard work in and I appreciate that. And the policies are dreadful, maybe not very not a lot of depth to them. But when you made promises and you join a party like this and put your name on the line, if they're going to be kept being broken. I just decided it was the best thing to do is resign now rather than later.
I think it would be you have resigned from the party, have you? Yes? I have here? Yeah, right, even though you go Obviously it's too like to change the fact that your name's on the ballot.
So is your sense mark, is your concerns about how it's run and the lack of consultation in terms of what you're seeing on the.
Ground you're reported that back. Is that widespread that level of, you know, being disgruntled.
I'm not sure everybody is. We've had a couple of people leave the party already. A lot of people know me. So some of the canvas from Wa and one of the Senate canvas from Wa run me told me what they're disgruntled about. I thought it was inappropriately handled personally. It's kind of a top down setup. So there's been cases where can in the country town has been approached by the media and to do an interview and the hierarchy have said, no, don't do that, and send us questions will answer them for you. And I kind of think that's disrupted to the democratic process in my point of view. If that's how the party's run. That's how it's running. But when I was the national director or of Australian Federation Party in the twenty twenty two election, and so the constitution, as best I know, flowed onto some of the Patriots and that always always had a sort of democratic process, internal process for the selection of canvas.
How does it work, Mark, when you sign on with trumpet a Patriots? Was this some sort of like retreat. Did you all get flown up to Clive's resort with all the giant dinosaurs and everything else. Did you have a big session where you got to meet him or is it much more sort of remote? And you know, you just sort of threw your hat in the ring from here.
And well, well, I had a personal relationship with Clyde prior doing preferences with him over the years, and he's always been very approachable on the phone, one of the few people in politics that if I read him, will pick up the phone and talk to me anything. So I had that sort of respect for him from that. In this situation, as this has sort of flowed on, I just refused. I haven't picked up the phone to Clyde because I I've really not had anything really good to say, because with the preference deals, and I was pretty offended by what they'd done, particularly where they had preference save Greens or a till Canada above others initially, and then the the preference steals kept going and then other other issues have arisen where there's this this top down approach to dismiss you know, a candadi's views or the public's views on something like the SMS campaign. And you know, I don't think we're going to be affording politics to be dismissive. I think we feel that way about you know, the major parties sometimes about being dismissive of what we think. So I wasn't expecting this from a minor party. Minor parties are generally run sort of on a grassroots level, so the canvas upwards, and this appears to be the opposite in terms of you know, Clive running the show, Clive choosing the candad. That's that kind of thing.
Before we let you go, just two questions when you're out campaigning. What's the number one reason people say they want to vote for Trumpet of the Patriots? Has it been a policy position? Is it a protest? And Second Party got about six hundred thousand votes at the last federal election. Do you think they'll do better or worse than that this time?
Well, that's a tough question. I'm not seeing a lot of support on the ground when we're preferent. I mean, people know me, so I'm probably getting a different opinion of this. Because I go to a Bowlding beef, everyone comes up and goes, Mark, how are you. I don't know some of the other cadets would have that sort of previously met support. The policies themselves aren't dreadful, but they just didn't continue to expand. So you know, the ads that we saw at the very beginning are exactly the same. Now there's been no expansion or reflection on how they're being met by the by I think I'm not sure who's running the show, but that seems to be more of my issue. So I think someone else is supposed they supposed expert in the party, and I maybe just disagree with what they're doing.
Mark Aldridge, who was the was and is, according to the ballot paper, the candidate for making for the Trumpet of Patriots, but sounds like that association has formally ended.
If Mark wins will be an independent member, not a trumpet of patriots member given them well no longer. Remember of the.
Party is a minority government. You might get super fast training.
Make it. Thank you the seed of making my big hose that fixed Olympics out of Brisbanes. Edit's ron Keivin Blake is called into the program.
Morning Kim, good morning mate, how are you good? So, just for those that don't know me, I'm the independent candidate for Spence, So welcome to the fray mark because funnily enough, I actually told him when he went to top what is he doing? But we're talking about these donkey votes and obviously trumpet Patriots etc. As an independent, it's so much harder to get that reach. A lot of people take us like disregardless that that makes sense. Sorry, I'm getting a bit croaky. So what I want to explain is the preference or the how to vote card. The how to vote card is not a guideline. It is just how the party wants to put people on the ballot paper. So what I've done is I've put out a vote one for me. So what they wont for Kim Hansen as opposed to telling people how they should vote. So that's that's all it is. How to vote card is not a guideline. It's just an idea of how you can vote or how you might vote. So I know a lot of people are getting the preferences.
No it's not so it is your first time running, Kim.
I run for Baker funnily enough with the Australian Federation Party, and even there we didn't have too much to say as to how to vote card was going to look. But as an independent, if I wanted to put out a how to vote card, I could decide. But looking at the candidates for Spence, it was really hard for me to even consider how to, like you know, advise how my constituents should vote because the candidates are what's the word for it, in my opinion, not of the highest caliber.
So just having been out there pressing the flesh and talking to voters, Kim, who do you think is going to win on Saturday?
I hate to say it, but this is a safe labor seat. And seeing the amount of people that just walk past you or don't talk to you and they go straight to the blue and the red tendency is a lot of migrants unfortunately going towards Redd. It seems, and then you've got some other people who go straight to Blue and they just take that how to vote card and then they just copy it down.
Spence had the highest no vote in Australia at the referendum in twenty twenty three. Do you think that is still going to be a factor out there?
Sadly, I don't think people remember how much Blue and Red have a tendency to waste. So the idea of a minority government independence have so much pool and can certainly affect change, but a lot of independence out there don't have good policies. Me, on the other hand, I do have good policies. So if anyone wants to have a look who's from Spence, go to Kim Hanson dot com dot au.
All right, good stuff, thank you, that was good turn an independence and got to talk about too.
From Satin Elbow. We heard from Sarah Hanson, you've heard from as Bob Cattle would say, let it, let a thousands boom and also waste another minute talking about it.
We've done the thing. We've done the thing a bit like all me.
Can we play that? Yeah, we'll have that.
We've done the thing a bit like all media has that we often complained out in South Australias. We've talked ninety percent of the time about Sturt and Boothba. Yeah, Spencer Macon full of voters. People two both safe labor seats Kim and Mark identified. But there are live issues there in those seats that people want to be heard about. So good to talk, good to spread the love around a little bit. Absolutely, All right, let's check traffic and we'll come back with some detail on the democracy sausage in just a moment. Come and experience the difference today at the brand new Jarvis toy to Brighton Road, Somerton Park.
David Penberthy and Wild Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast six minutes.
To nine Canadian elections going on the moment. Polls have closed in the eastern part of the country. This is the election that was swung significantly by Donald Trump's suggestion that Candadi should become a fifty first state and then the trade war broke out. It was seating for it was an overwhelming Conservative victory just four months ago, and that has all changed. And now the liberal part there, which is the left landing party in Canada, it looks like a bit returned. Some of their seat names are great. They've got a seat of Labrador Labrador. We should have more seats named after dogs. Kelpie Labrador. I'm a member for Terror over Tearan over the Peninsulas is the name of one seat. These are the early returns. Avalon is another. Anyway, that's all happening in the background. That'll be that'll be an intriguing story. Over the course of the day back here at Australia focused on Australian Democracy. We spoke with Jess Rogers a little bit earlier in the program from Galwa Primary School, who had organized the sausages well there to raise money and had gone through the as it turns out, very very simple process of going to five double a dot com dot au and registering to get a whole whack of these magnificent and the JB Beef Democracy Sausages have a listen.
A good a good call for other groups like yours to get in. And you found it really easy to register and all that, didn't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, super easy.
Thank god that Jess.
I told her rest of our Governing Council that I was like, hey, guys, so I've got sausages sorted and they were like, oh cool, assuming I was just getting some cheap sausages from the Supermark and I was like, no, guys, these are like super good quality in the Jobe Beef because down on the Flurio we all know the the jobb They were like, what do we get those sausages?
Like?
You man, don't worry, I'll.
Look after your Oh, well played, Jacks, magnificent work. So do what Jess did and register for five double breakfast Democracy sausage, not just one, but many. Like Jared, our resident pilots done. He's working the barbecue at the Port No Longer Surf Club, Louise hosting one the Balaclava High School, Anita cooking at the barbecue at the Rannella South School, and Trevor at Stradbroke Primary School in Rostrevor. There's still plenty of these nijobi' made twenty thousand for us. We give them to you. You sell them to raise money for whatever community initia. If you're raising money for on election day, so still plenty to give away free snags.
You can make as much money as you need for whatever community event or in Jess's case, it was a school thing they're looking at building a sort of outdoor education area there at the brand spanking. A lot of them are schools, which is great. School Yeah, it's great. It's a really good opportunity to generate some money for your school community or your sports club whatever it is.
Exactly right, Democracy Sauge is still plenty to give away. So five Dobla dot com dot are you head of the wind page and then you'll click on the little time as the Democracy Sausage fuel watch. Let's lef a look at that this morning. It's been intriguing. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get raa road service.
Fuels cheap.
The United Pennington torrens Row dollar fifty point five. No one's broken through the psychological dollar fifty barrier yet, but it feels like it's coming. The United at the airport is at a dollar fifty one point five. The coltexs clamsig on Og Road dollar fifty two point nine, and the ampole at North Brighton on Brighton Road to dollar fifty six point nine, which you know among in that company feels expensive, but that's cheap. Diesel's jumped up intriguingly. The ampole at Polatas Drive dollars seventy five point nine and the Shell larks Bay Jeddi Row dollars seventy three point nine are probably.
The picks if you need to fill up diesel buys. Diesel was a lot lower for a while.
It was.
It's hard to follow the differences between diesel and Yeah, I think that relationship is not clear. No, but internationally if petrol's you know, as I said yesterday, trade wars are good for petrol prices. We have some tickets to give away Blowing in the Wind, the concert celebrating Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash at the Traveling Will Breeze. It's all taking place at Her Majesty's Theater. Book at ticketech or you can simply be the first caller through right now if you want to get along. On the twenty third of May eight double two to three, double O, double five is the number that is all from us. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday and we'll be back tomorrow morning from six o'clock.
