David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double a breakfast right.
After six good morning to you, Welcome to Tuesday and five double a breakfast. The twentieth of May. This time yesterday was cooler than it is right now. It's five point one at the moment, so it's fifty percent warmer than it was yesterday. It still feels really cold five point one. Not ready for this May twenty just yet, but it feels like winter at least in the mornings. Is well and truly here we're going to be talking about volunteers this morning, National Volunteers Week. After six thirty we'll be chatting with some wonderful volunteers who give up their time for terrific causes here in South Australia. Jay Robins out in the road for us. Phil Curry is going to join us after seven thirties written a very interesting piece in the fin Review, having a look at what the future of the National's Liberal Party coalition is. We'll get into that after seven thirty. Today a jury trial. It's rates day today. Will we get a cut? Everyone seems to think we will, But we'll talk about that and what it says about the Future with doctor Susan Stein, the Credit Union SA Chair of Economics after eight o'clock today, lots to talk about. Love you to be part of it A double two three double O double or you can text us on zero before eight zero eight thirty ninety five. David Penmurthy, good morning.
To you, Good morning will, Good morning listeners. Now this isn't one of those I've been told by an expert, but my brother in law he said to me last night that he heard somewhere is it a ninety nine point ninety nine percent.
Likelihood of a rate? It's something like that. Yeah, so it is ninety nine point ninety five depends that's what's priced in. So that's over And who does works on this for a living says there's going to be a cut today. It'll probably be. Isn't that what.
Brisbane we're paying to beat Melbourne on Saturday? On Sunday, there's always a chance.
There's always a charts. Absolutely, there's always a charts.
Can you bet on whether interest rates are going to go up or down?
On sideways? I'm not sure if you can bet on the sports bet way you can bet on it. In terms of investing in bonds, and things like that. True, they're probably more lucrative, that's right. They're all sensitive to interestrate movements. So if you're pretty confident about the way it's going to go long term or medium term bonds, I think your option. There must be rules around RBA board members in the same way there's rules around you, hope. So texting mates before everything, well they wouldn't necessarily because they're still going to get it through the board. You have a pretty good idea, though, I reckon when you break for lunch day two of them meeting, well, you know they're all friends. She was about to go out quick look at the market.
We're certainly not suggesting that that does happen.
We only pointed out to demonstrate how absurd it would be.
This country really is just totally awash with gambling, isn't it.
Yes, yeah, I think the world leaders in gambling when you think about the.
Extent of which you know. I know the Minister said it was a beat up, and I must admit if if if I had done if we had done that interview with him on Friday prior to me filing my Sunday Coluin, that column might have been slightly less over the top, because I do get what he was saying. Well, the point of this is junk foods. That's what we're really trying to crack down on here. He didn't resolve the question though about what if a specific small good manufacturer comes along in season we want to build a big billboard on one of your buses.
That is still a lead of question.
No, he doesn't know. There will be plenty of people in his department and say, nay, that's a castinogen that's listed by the WHO. Anyway, We're not going to reprosecute that argument. But how much gambling advertising is there and everyone's terrified of tackling it. Clearly there was absolutely a poorly evidence given yesterday to a parliamentary inquiry in New South Wales into porn and its influence on young people that kids as young as too sorry, kids as young as grade one and two. So what's that six seven, eight years old are finding all sorts of full funline and one of the main ways they're finding it is through links on gambling websites.
Is that right? Yeah?
Yeah, all these pop ups and you get taken off here. Yeah, some squalid corner of the internet looking at people getting up to all sorts of stuff.
The the the availability of the internet. It's it's tough. It's tough to think about how you how you crack down on that, because there's no question of six or seven year old. If you're six or seven, your entire existence is idea pops into my head, or question that I don't know the answer to, I'll pop it into the box that has all the answers. Yeah, totally. When you and I were kids, it was you could ask your mum and dad, or if it was a bit sensitive, you might ask your friends. Yeah, and if they didn't know, you just didn't know. Yeah, totally.
But that's if you think about human curiosity being what it is. Yeah, as you and at a time when you're developing, it is the most unfettered place in the world to find anything, isn't it.
Well it's a transaction with no cost. Yeah, it cost you nothing to go. Oh, I do it all the time with stupid stuff as an adult, Like I can't imagine as a kid some pretty basic fundamental and off and biological things that you might be wondering about. Yeah, yeah, totally totally. It's just it's a different world isn't it thirteen alfter six?
So you said what you just said, I want to go back and check one Internet history, which is yeah, okay, I'm doing that.
With confidence, doing that life on the air that yeah. I mean, you're right.
The amount of the amount of things that you randomly, like Gary lineker rat image. You wanted to see what it was that Glinka had posted that got himself into such strife. Barbecue at Glenelg. I was looking at their menu because I think about gown there Forginilator in the week Wayne Schwass reading up on main Swass where that was work related. That was yesterday morning. I want here select your flights here in New Zealand. Now I'm not flying anywhere. But after our interview with Tim Thin it got me thinking I knew and I were chatting, we'll off here about how you've but gone to the South.
Island and New Zealand. That's right.
So then I've done all these map searches on how far is it to drive from dunh Eden to christ Church. But it's just the human brain being just completely random, isn't it.
I just looked at my my groc on Twitter. The AI function there Grock. It's it's it's ex's AI tool for advanced searching basically really tells a pretty confronting story about me as a person. So the last search was about the hun's expansion and the migration of the Visigoths. Before that, it was nicknames for the Kelsey football club. Which football club Kelsey? It's a Polish football side, Kelsey. I had a query about the rise of the of the popularity of power tools because I was thinking about each generations, you know, lamenting the lost of lost art forms, and I was trying to get in case came up one day on radio. I was trying to think, well, when was when we're old craftsmen going these new power tools? You know, people are they have no idea how to do that? Exactly right.
Chinese's made rubbish.
There was Australia's F one Championship winners.
They were pretty sure.
Alan Jones and the most famous of them all, Jack Brabham. Jack Brabham, Yeah, there you go, and there's a whole bunch of fitness stuff. Yeah, it's funny when you look back on you your searches, but it's just I thought it was weird. I'm surprised there's name basketball. There no need to look it up, my friend, it's all up here. There's no AI requiring encyclopedia. You've got a big week this week, haven't you. Thursday Game one, Eastern Conference Finals. Yes, he's in the diary.
Paces versus the New York Knicks.
That's correct, Jemy.
Are there a grudge team?
Are they the grudge team? This is the showdown? Oh really? As far as Paces and Knicks fans are concerned, what time should I expect your mind to start wandering? I started nine thirty, I'll beyond. I'm on for the three hours You've got me completely after that, no promises. Sixteen after six. News headlines coming up next.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings sixty Line five double a breakfast dined.
Minutes after six. It's somebody. The news headlines on this Tuesday morning just turned from this round of Matt Pantellis actually just to kick off the morning. It's very sad news. A man has died in a car crash at a Chunga yesterday afternoon. Police were called to Kavanagh Road just before five point thirty to find a car had crashed into a tree. The sixty eight year old man from Lower Mitcham died at the scene. The man's death is the thirty second life lost on on sa Rhads this year. It's a bit of rotten Lake, but it's a better run. Terrible man was quickly arrested with assistance of the public after actually assaulting a man at Torrens Park yesterday. Police were called to the Mitcham shopping center on Belair Road, Torrens Park at about four fifteen pm. They had reports a man was behaving aggressively. He punched someone else. The fifty two year old victim did not require medical treatment. Witnesses provided a detail description and location of the suspect. He fled on board a bus. Police then track that bus and arrested the suspect in Bedford Park. The thirty seven year old man was charged with assult and disorderly behavior bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court in July. Terrible Story and You survey has found thirteen percent of Australians don't know what state the Great Barrier reef is in. How many thirteen percent no way? Participants of the University of South Australia questionnaire commonly identified broad groups of animal species in the Roof band limited knowledge at a more niche level. Researchers say more knowledge is via conservation efforts. Is that niche?
Is it knowing which state the Great Bearrier? It's a weird use of the term niche. I reckon it must be people from overseas. I reckon, no long standing Ossie resident. So what we the people would keep saying? What in New South Wales?
Presumably? Maybe dear pretty weird. Have you been in the Great Barrier? I have a love It's one of my favorite things to do. The Great Barrier, if is one of the great experiences you can have in your life.
I reckon, you know, I'd never been into snorkling me either, And I was like early, yeah, okay, went out of the boat. We got there and I got under and I just want to stay here forever. Yes, it's unbelievable.
It's really like or inspiring. Yeah, you feel like you're on an alien planet all of a sudden. Yeah, Oh it's incredible. And I didn't find it frightening at all. I don't know what, No, nah it feel it feels very warm. Yeah, those tropical waters there, no matter how cold it is outside. You get in the water. Oh, this is it taking a bar? Yeah, it is the best. It's just the best. The Productivity Commission says performing the corporate tax system could improve business investment. The Commission believes the thirty percent company tech should be lowered to help boost productivity. The Australian economy remains inefficient in certain areas, with some businesses failing to drive improvements for almost a decade. Our lack of productivity growth in this country is a crisis. But it's it's so it was obtuse that it's it's not doesn't become an election issue because productivity means a lot to the people that care about it and absolutely nothing to people that's getting on with their lives.
Well, the problem is okay, So if you pick up this Productivity Commission example, let's cut company tax not popular investment. So if that becomes a Liberal party position, I mean labor were licking its lips. Yeah, this is a party that stood in front of every minimum wage increase ever.
And now they want to give a tax break to Harvey Norman, Coals and woolies. Yeah yeah, but imagine exepts. It lives the loss of that was their policy proactivity. Growth has been staggered in Australia for too long and bed to comparaple nations. It's it's not just embarrassing, it's dangerous because what it means productivity is behind a wage growth that allows us to catch up to the losses we've made because of inflation. It speaks to the health of the economy. Something needs to be done, But you're right, politically, it just seems to be impossible. Just eight percent of young women age between thirteen and eighteen say they want to pursue a career in engineering eight percent, and Engineer's Australia survey shows engineering ranks fourth among career interests of students, behind medicine, health sciences and business. Business and Economics Group executive Bernadette Foley says many young people are still relying on old stereotypes about the industry.
Not about hard hats.
It's actually around solving some of those critical challenges.
Sometimes it is yes on the construction site, but a lot it's about looking at systems.
I'm surprised it's that high. Actually, if you look at the engineering department, well, certainly what I was going through it was sort.
Of but he's eight percent of all women. That's the that's the industry they want to go in. That's almost one in ten women wants to be an engineer, isn't it.
Yeah, that would seem relatively high, but at what it is. But yeah, what percentage of men want to be engineers? More?
Is it?
Much more than one in ten?
I would have never been counted in that statistic. I can tell you don't me either, no interest whatsoever. Dad got me a mccanoe set. I like playing with Lego.
Dad got me a mccanoe set for about my seventh birthday and they had they had to make a crane and there was this Pulley system and all these tiny little nuts and bolts and spanners and everything. And I said, oh, this sexually looks like, you know, real building, not just making a car out of plastic rectangles from Denmark.
This this is the real.
Are you good with your hands and stuff? It was the only mecanoe a toy I ever did, and I think from memory Dad finished it for me. That was the last one you ever got, I reckon, there's that you can trace Who had mcanoe? Come on, guys, which of you grew up playing with mccarnae, And do you agree with my assertion that my generation, and particularly this generation.
Of blokes, I feel like.
We're getting less handy, Oh, without a doubt, and mccarnae. The death of mccarnoe would have to be linked to the lack of practical handyman type skills that men now have.
The Mecano theory. Let's test at eight double two three double o double top of eighteen today cool again as we say this morning, it's I think it's still getting cool. Lert's down to five point zero now Tomorrow nineteen the morning will be slightly a woman maybe minimum of six overnight Thursday top of nineteen, Friday top of nineteen, Saturday twenty one up to four meals of rain. Then the real chants of proper rain comes Sunday twenty one, one to fifteen meals, Monday twenty and one to eight meals of rain. So if we get all of that over the course of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday, it's going to really feel like winter in Adelaide. Certainly is tom Ren's in the five double a breakfast studio, and he's brought to us by the great people at Augustine A Mitsubushi. They're having a stock clearance saloon at the moment, in fact, so to make room for Reno's. It's all got to go on now. Nails Worth in Morson Lakes Morning, Are you ready?
Morning?
Will morning?
David?
Given that and that it does look like it's going to be wet, is it time to ditch the four Tours? Rest text Walker on Sunday? Would you do it?
Well if it's going to be that wet? And I would yeah. Well, look he didn't look like he was really adding much on Saturday in Melbourne.
Did he get to come?
And he's had a great season, but I think give him a spell.
Yeah, that's done.
A knock on tech, No, just sit down for a week.
He's been good. He's been really good.
Freshen up though. You know, need you for bigger games in the year. If we can't beat West Coast without you, then we're not genuine anyway.
So you know, I know they always saying football complacency's death, but you can definitely afford to be complacent about playing West Coast game.
I think so, given they won last week as well, and look we've got the highlights on right now between the Crows Collingwood game, it was it was disappointing, wasn't. I mean one player I didn't think and I think Rowi's said the same with you in the court and you're probably the same.
Will.
I didn't I thought Jordan Dawson was a good player when he came to Adelaide. I didn't know how good he was going to be. I certainly didn't think he was going to get to this level. He's so good overhead. He's a great leader. I mean he was captain within two years or less than two years at the football club. He's been so impressive. He was on with Rowan Tim g last night sort of saying they need to look at themselves and you know, just it's frustrating, and I think you know, Pembo Will you spoke about it frustrating to again get so close, But you've just got to keep putting yourself in that position to be able to at least have a shot at beating aside like Colin Hoood, who'll probably going to play in the Grand Final. Let's ever listen, you just.
Got to keep rocking off. I see there won't be too many times where Ranks kicks two out in the fall and Dan Curtain is a beautiful kicking and this is a set shot in front. So there's times where you just don't take your opportunities and that's just how footy works sometimes. And obviously they were able to take some opportunities and keep some really big goals in crucial moments. And it's one that will learn from it and hopefully when those individuals are nice of the group getting those positions again, we can make most of those opportunities and capitalize.
And he was asked about the umpiring and he did concede. You know, yes it's a fact, but he said, you know, you essentially you can't blame it on that throw and all that kind of stuff, so you know, it didn't It was frustrating, but it didn't cost them the game. So yeah, they're there, the Crows, aren't they They are so close. It's just, you know, have they got that mental I don't know what your autitude.
I think you had the best comment on this yesterday. I don't know if you did it on air or affair, but when you made the point, Crows right now six and the later feels like they are the six best team in the competition.
Yeah, yeah, they lost a comin I wasn't on the air, that was out of the tea room.
Well sorry, but may have betrayed a confidence, but she thought it was I thought it was like.
I was telling you're going to go to the clinic.
It's right on. They lost to a better side on Saturday. And that's not to say that there are many of them, but there probably is about five of them at the moment.
I reckon after ten rounds. It's about when you start to get a good idea of where the competition's at. You need to wait for at least ten rounds to really know. And maybe we'll have a bit of a look later in the week and talk about who may come from outside the top eight to who might you know drop out from inside the eight. I don't think there's many at the moment, off the top of my head that could come in. Maybe Fremantle, maybe Carlton, But yeah, are there I still feel like they can challenge for top four. They've got to win a couple of those and look they got away.
Yeah, yeah, we've beat Brisbane at the Gabba something like that, something.
Like that, and that that's a huge belief thing. As well, isn't it, Because then they go there the next time and they go, we can do this. You know, we've done it, hit it two weeks ago or whatever.
You know.
So but I don't think anyone who South Australia believed in any serious sense that the Crows were going to the mcg and we're going to beat Collingwood.
And I doubt whether deep down the players thought they were either.
Yeah, and that's it, and it's still a big thing to be able.
To in their private moments.
Yeah, to get over it. And you know, we're just seeing a couple of the rank and misshots now and that curtain one that Dawson spoke about it, I mean, could have, would have, should have next time. They've just got to do it. So interesting watch. We'll keep a close eye.
Good ready, David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.
Twenty five minutes to seven, and then hours time we were off to Campbell were chatting with Phil Courry to set the scene for the federal political week ahead, and our jury trial will follow immediately thereafter. Simple to be part of the jury, simply call eight double two three double O doublow rendy a verdict and you could win a prize. We'll get to that after seven thirty this morning and then a little bit later in the morning. What is the RBA going to do today? Are you getting a rape cut? Everyone seems to think yes, But then what comes next? Are they going to be more for the rest of the year. What are the RBA going to be looking at? Doctor Susan Stones the best explorer of this thing in South Australia, and she'll join us from the Credit Union Chair of Economics in UNISA after eight thirty today. It is this week National Volunteers Week. We're shining a spotlight on volunteers in South Australia this week and tomorrow is where Orange Wednesday to thank SEES volunteers. Specifically, there are seventeen hundred SEES volunteers from sixty seven units across the state. Already this year they've responded to some two thousand, six hundred callouts. Anthony gunte Is from the Source se IS unit. He's the manager there. Anthony, good boarding to.
You, good morning.
How are we doing?
We're good things? Anthony Now Orange obviously the color of the SEES volunteers. How many volunteers are there at the State Emergency Service.
I mean statewide, you're looking at around seventeen hundred volunteers. We've obviously got sixty seven units running at the moment. Different yeah, different units, I guess have varying degrees of numbers of volunteers. At Salisbury where got about fifty six volunteers on our books at the moment.
Right, How do you become a volunteer? Anthony? What got you into it?
I was just looking for something to do, I guess, like originally my son was fairly young, and I was wanting to inspire him to do something a little different. So I got involved to try and mentor him, and I just I thoroughly enjoyed it, so he never got involved. But yeah, I've been loving it ever since. I've been doing it for about ten years now.
How big a commitment is it? Mate?
Like, is it something? Can you put an hourly sort of tally on it on average per month or something like that?
Well, you can give.
You can give as little or as much as you want. We have weekly training at our unit. We try and encourage our members to attend weekly training, preferably as a minimum which is seven pm till ten pm on a Wednesday night at Salisbury. Outside of that, you can do as much or as little as you're capable of.
It must be a good social thing too, like you'd end up making making lifelong friends through volunteering.
Yeah.
Some of the best friends I've got I've made through SEES. It's just it's a great atmosphere there. You're volunteering with a bunch of like minded people. You know, you're all passionate about the community and doing something to help people out. So it's yeah, it's really good feeling.
Yeah. Yeah. Anthony Gunder for the se S unit manager there at Salisborough, I've never been an SES person that's not passionate about what they do. Yeah. I guess by nature, if you're a volunteer, you have to be passionate about it. Like Tony Wheeler a next guest who volunteers at the gays Of Football Club, where it sounds like he's pretty passionate about the barbecue. Tony, good morning to.
You, Good morning boys there you going, Hey.
Good things, Tony. We're talking to barbecue royalty here, mate, because you're a bunner legend of the tongs.
Yeah, you're not wrong I was so surprised when I got nominated. And then Trevor Holst nominated me, and three weeks later he brings me back, he said, You've been picked this week one of five people. I've been picked in the Bunning's legend of the tongs. Oh well, you know, And then I didn't really realize until it was a straighter wide.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a national competition, hey, Tony.
So twenty five years ago, what happened at the Gays of Football Club? Did someone hand you? Someone not turn up? What happened?
No, it was a little bit before then. Eighty three I went there when I met my partner Jenny, she played netball. And then ninety three I was sitting there one day and the old mate, a fellow EG was cooking the barbecue and then he saw his sizzle and I went up to him and said, mate, would you like a hand? And he saw, oh yeah, thanks mate. And his name was Barry Cappy and Barry Cappy was absolute legend. It goes there he cooked the barbecue to Will in his eighties and you took it anyway. That's when we start our friendship boys, and then we started on from there well.
And So I'll presume Saturday is your big day. What time do you have big day? What time do you have to set up? What time do you start on a Saturday?
Well, I leave home at seven, you know, I don't get all the sausages and that during the on Friday and Sax. I'll get there at nine, I pick up the bread and then on the way and then I turned the barbie on, get her, get it warmed up, and then I chop up all the lettuce and tomatoes, et cetera. And then I'll start cooking around about ten, and it goes right through to about and caught to five.
So let us Tomatow said, this is a pretty face sort of you know, fish and chips shop standard steaks, were talking about cheese.
Yeah, yeah, we we have sausages, we have bacon and eggs. We have Hamburger playing Hamburger with a lot and the steaks and a lot consists of the stakes consist of lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, eggs, steak, the sauce.
How many stags do you go through on a day there down there?
There could be one hundred and fifty two hundred, depends on the day. On the on the crowds and that you know, But how.
Much one of those steaks?
And would you set your back to nine dollars?
Have you ever thought.
About working for the stadium management authority? My mouse watering?
But right now, hey, total, how many saturdays have you missed over twenty five years?
Only a few I had I remember once there were not ten this the second half of the season where I had a kidney transplant.
Web yeah, yeah, but I.
Yeah, I'm there most of the time.
You're at the club. It's people like you that keep local sporting clubs going. You're a superstar worth your weight in gold. That's what Volunteers Week's all about. National volunteer It's National Volunteers Week tomorrow of course about the Sees And you can get down to the under the Canopy and gall the place in the city and they've got a whole interactive display on there, the sees. But and we know the wonderful work they do. But it's also local sporting clubs and organizations like the Gays of Football Club that you get a tony and once you get a Tony on board, life gets a bit easier. Great to chat with them. Fantastic, all right.
It makes you, makes you it's a bit hard on our job. I doubt that you know our bosses or the listeners would like it if suddenly we just said we're not doing the show because we've got to go and chain sawt of tree branch or something like that. But you've only got one other job, Well, you can do it in the middle of the day.
Why No. My wife does a lot of work at her hockey club and has been on the board and done things like that, and people like Tony. The roster's not deep on people that want to give up every weekend doing something, or give up two trainings. And there's usually any club a couple of people do who plug a lot of holes, and one of them drops out for whatever reason they move, or they get old, or they get sick or whatever. You suddenly realize how precarious the entire thing is. Yeah, yeah, So I just think people are that are just superstars. Yeah, completely.
Getting a few texts about from from Blake to who had a childhood affection for mcanoe, including a good mate Rob and Andrews says, I had mccanno.
Gave me two cents. It used to be his dad's.
That's how old it was, and a few about snorkeling as well. On the Great Barrier Reef, Judy says David Will snorkling's no comparison to scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef. I've dived the Barrier Reef for twenty five to thirty years and the best diving is off the continental shelf, in international waters and the ribbon reefs on a live aboard. That's where you'll be absolutely blown away. Snortling close into the coast is nothing compared to the outer reef. I love your show, Thank you, GINI, We love our listeners. We would love to thank you for that text.
All right, they're gonna check traffic and we'll come back with Police Weather and Jade Robren in just a moment, Andrews' real estate experts in commercial and Residential property Management, Lynn Andrews dot Com, todare you.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five, Double a Breakfast.
Thirty to seven, Police Weather and Jade Robron coming up in just a moment. Having seen page ten of the Ties. This morning, Jinglee has announced the name of her new political party. She's the only member of it. She of course former Liberal MLC member of the Allegilative Council, the Upper House here in South Australia. Her new political party will be called Jingle Better Community. Okay, Jingle Better Community got me thinking and we've got two hundred dollar Harvey Norman about you to give away as we this week celebrate Australian Made Week at Harvey Norman. If you were the only member of your own political party, what would it be called? What would your political party be called? You're the only member, so Jingle came up with Jingle Better Community. What have you got listeners? Eight double two to three double o double oh is the number you can win yourself that two hundred dollars Harvey Norman. Voucher receive ten percent bonus gift cards and s the Australian Made furniture and more Harvey Norman. Proud supporters of Australian Made. It is Australian Made Week at Harvey Norman. Come up with your own single member party name. I'm having to think here, all right, you think about it and ruminating. In the meantime, we're going to talk about the weather with Jenny Horvett at weather bureaut Morning.
Dear Jenny, Good morning guys.
Another cool one this morning.
Yeah, that's right. That minimum temperature three point seven in the city about quarter past four, currently five point three on the West Teriff Night appear of observation Site's a little bit warmer this morning than it was yesterday at this time, but nevertheless still a bit of a chilly start out there to the day. The tradeoff will be for another sunny day out there. We are aiming for top temperature of eighteen degrees in the city, nineteen for Elizabeth, eighteen for Glennel, maybe a little bit cooler in nor Longest seventeen degrees. Likewise to Mount Barker, aiming at four seventeen degrees for today. Now the Chile start tomorrow. That high pressure system still maintaining that ridge over the state. So on Wednesday, minimums again below six degrees, nineteen degrees through. They're a little bit of cloud moving through. There's a little bit of a weakening front slash trough moving across those slight chances see a shower around on Wednesday, but really it would only be a spot or two. We're not expecting any significant totals in the gauge as that system moves through tomorrow, returning to dry conditions on Thursday, that minimum around eight getting up to around nineteen degrees. Similar pattern there on the Friday eight to nineteen, and then on Saturday we will see those winds shifting northerly, maybe that temperature back up into the twenties there around twenty one degree. Looks like there's a bit of a week change moving through, so maybe some late shower activity followed by another system either Sunday or Monday. That one's maybe looking a little bit more vigorous. But we'll watch this space to see how that evolves, whether we pick up a bit more rainfall. And it does look like our winds will be picking up in the westerly late into the weekend or early next week.

Drink drivers. It's got a little bit of mischief at Hampstead Gardens.
Yeah, they certainly did. Please were called to Fleet Street at Hampstead Gardens just after eight o'clock last night after reports the car had hit two cars in two separate crashes in Fleet Street and Ways Road. Fortunately there were no reported injuries. The driver of forty three year old men from Hamstead Gardens was taken to hospital for a blood test and he's been reported for drink driving and driving without due care and he'll be summons to appear in court at a later date.
And Holly, this one's intriguing. Two men have been arrested after being discovered on a roof in solisby Downs.
What were they doing up there?

Instead of the Trumpet of Patriots, I want to be known as the trombone of apathy.

I would have definitely given a second preference, maybe your first preference to the trombone of app Oh yeah, they feature high. They just don't care. That is sensational. All thanks to Harvey Norman. Celebrate Australian Made Week at Harvey Norman. Receive a ten percent bonus gift cards on selected Australian made furniture and more.

Texts, yes one here did a lot of political parties. Micking Townsville says he'd like to bring back the old Democrats logo keep the bastards honest. Billy says, I'm sick of hearing from the minor left, so I will be the Major Rights party. One here Stuart party name Ministry of Stupid, Kubra's in spite, I think Bobo's get up yesterday, Josh in Meadow's the No be Attacks party. That'd be good, and one here to capture the youth. Thought I would go with Matt's Swifty Party. Couldn't lose Ian not the only one the pub Test Party. How can you hear that doesn't pass the pub Test?
Would be fun being in the pub Test Party. So what was your day at work? Well? I took a fistful of legislation down to the local and a few points just ran it by everyone. Just set up at the Goodie Parks Sports Bar all day with the Cabinet document. That is democracy manifest. As we say on this program. Two minutes to seven five Double A News is coming up, Our wrap of the morning, Speak Stories.
Next David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double A Breakfast.
Seven after seven. Good morning to you and welcome to Tuesday if you're joining us at the very first time, the twentieth of May. The temperature has continued to drop now four point four degrees outside. I said it was significantly warmer than yesterday. I'll beat feeling very cold at six o'clock, but it's getting much closer to that three point one we got to yesterday.
I'll tell you what, I think we should all be cheering on this cold weather because you know what we need. We need the sea temperature to drop. Yeah, get it to this damn Algi. The account today, the front page of the time breaks your heart. All these leafy sea dragons, sharks, these poor and apparently what happens is overnight all the oxygen gets sucked out of the water by the algae and that everything living under the algae suffocates, which is why you've got a lot of these. They have a bottom teeth.
To their skin, their hemorrhage. Look at the photo of those. I think it was a really clever turn of phrase in the Tisers reporting from one of the experts who put it in a very context that actually means something to South Australians. They said, this is like a bush fire under the sea. And there's a bushfire, we know what happens to the wildlife. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're acutely aware of what happens to it, and we mobilize all the various animal rescue types and so forth. We understand it's an emergency, very immediate sense. This one kind has been dragged along like it's just a bit of a curio when it's a genuine emergency.
Yeah, and and bear with me here. You know, you know what it looks like the chief cause of this is the planet being warmer. Now that's not to say the Okay, what we do is we cut off our nose despite our face in Australia and go well, as this small economy compared to India and China, we start doing all of these punitive things to destroy.
Our own lives.
But it looks like the cumulative effect of humanity, which is the Indias, which is the China's, which is all of the pollution and everything else that's been pumping in the atmosphere, it looks like that might actually be the key driver of this. And maybe Sir David Attenbras and everyone else in the world of science has actually because it's overwhelmingly all of the evidence is the planet is getting hotter.
Maybe this is what a hotter planet looks like. Allow me to restate my incredibly unpopular opinion about all this kind of stuff. The US doesn't care about net zero anymore now it did someone who doesn't. The China has been gaming the system for forever because they churn out aircraft carries every fifteen minutes. Yet at the same time they're considered a developing country for the purpose of working out how much they admit India is only going to get bigger. And guess what, it's no crime that the people in India want nice middle class comforts. Okay, well, every other developed country in the world did. We've all gone through that phase. So I think it would be more constructive avoy as a nation of twenty five million people started looking at investing in dealing with the consequence of a warming world as opposed to simply pretending we can somehow do something about it. Yeah, that's right. We spend billions of dollars pretending we can fix it. We can't. So let's spend the billions and ods working out what do we do when our goo blooms pop up off our coast? What can we do to disperse them, How can we help out sea life? What can be done? It's all about preventing this from happening. It's happening, and we're as far as we're wasting money and costing people all this money on energy bills and so forth, when the inevitability about this is beyond our control. Yeah, and no one agrees with that position because it's an affront to the people who are heavily invested in the renewable world, who want us to be at at the forefront of staving off warming. And the people who don't think any of this is real don't invest any money in any of this stuff either. Yeah, that's right, So it'll never get any massive support. But it would seem to me be much better use of our limited resources.
But I'm sure, And there are texts from people already saying, oh, you know, rubbish, this sort of stuff's happened before. To those people say okay, when like, what do you know that we don't know? What do you know that science doesn't know? And can anyone explain to me other than the one thing that most sciences have been banging on about for decades now? Can anyone explain to me how it is that the ocean is suddenly two point five centigrade hotter than it normally is.
Good algae temperature. As it turns out, it's the pictures are shocking. The description was great. It's a good piece in the TiSER. Let's talk about some of the other news that is getting around this morning and something that will develop across the day, money markets surprising. In a ninety five percent chance the Reserve Bank cut cuts rates by twenty five basis points, it will mean it we'll go from four point one percent the cash rate to three point eighty five. The tisers crunching of the numbers suggests a six hundred and sixty thousand dollars mortgage would reduced by about one hundred dollars a month. In isolation is nice, but it doesn't sound like a lot. But when you consider that and potentially two or three other cuts and what we've already had, it's suddenly a really substantial bit of mortgage relief for people that have been suffering for a long time here in South Australia, intriguingly, and Susan Stone will talk more about this after eight o'clock when we chat with her from UNISA. If we do get the three or four cuts this year, so this one today will take us to three point eight five percent the cash rate, we'll probably get somewhere close to three point five percent, which is notable because the RBA considers three to three point five the neutral cash rate, which is to say, if if we're lower than that, we're trying to stimulate the economy, if it's higher than that, we're trying to get a little on inflation. It's kind of what they say is the normal setting, and we're kind of there if we get two or three more before the end of the year. So that's interesting to watch to see. Normal sounds good, Normal sounds excellent, certainly based on where we have been. Awful story. If you're reading the front page this morning and see the big picture of the fish, there's some revelations regarding a real tragedy that played out on land here in South Australia. A Calum of Thorn, a twenty two year old, faced the Magistrates court yesterday via video link from Mount Gambia. He's charged over the three car crash which killed a fifteen year old and her five year old brother. You might recall this crash happened in October three car collision on the Ritick Highway five k south of Nangwarry near Mount Gambia. Intriguingly, police are still searching for a phone missing from the scene of the crash. They alleged belongs to mister Thorn. Wonder why this is a direct quote from the court. There's assertions that the accused was using a mobile at the time of the accents. That's the allegation that's been made in court. They'll challenge it, imagine, although no plea has been entered into the two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and four counts of causing harm by dangerous driving. A further quote from the prosecutor, the phone went missing from the crash site. A ping was then located at the accused parents house, then the phone went dead. Police searched the property and couldn't locate the phone. It still hasn't been found. And what this guy's just not cooperating at all. Obviously things sounds that way. That said, no plea has been entered in at this point in time, But this would be deeply sus the most if ultimately this was stood up, this would be by far I think the most tragic incident involving the use of a phone behind the wheel, wouldn't it. I don't know. As two kids killed, there's been so many, there's been lots, and there's probably been cases where they've been unable to substantiate that that was the reason.
That's probably a fair point too. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, you may well be right.
How avoidable is that? Sorry stuff? The reason I say that maybe and maybe this has been too hopeful. Maybe this will be the case. Everyone says, you don't want to end up like the person involved in a crash that killed two kids.
I think the thing it's far too optimistic. Two days ago, I'm waiting for the lights to change on Greenhill Road and there's a woman next to me and the old Ford lasers just sitting there. You just a moron, But it's just like, how does it not get through people's heads with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people doing it right now, to be somebody, hello, I know you're in your car, you're doing it now.
There's someone listening to the radio, sitting at the lights doing it well. Perhaps the most to your point, perhaps the negative side of this is we've got those cameras up there now that tell us there's even the financial incentive isn't strong enough to compel people to do the right thing, because people have been done time and time again.
It's just it's a total addiction. It is a total addiction. Well, the only way to avoid it is have your phone on silent, face down in the car. Lie to that myself, not because I'm constantly going, oh I better, you know, put up another TikTok or check my insta. Haven't got either of those things. But if you have your phone even where you can look at it, and you see the phone light up, human instinct is you look at you look at it. Your eyes are immediately.
Drawn to it. So but I don't know.
People just seem to get in the car where their phone. They want it to be available, so they have it on their lap, they have it in their hand, you know, Like how hard is it not to not to? And there's not a lot of people were talking about long haul truck drivers. We're talking about someone you know on Green who wrote he might be making the arduous trip from Parkside into the city, which.
Talks about six minudictive behavior. It is, it's compulsive addictive behavior. He's a palate lenser. In the news headlines this morning, PD Rusty p D Rusty one of the great police dogs we've met. The dog Squad they do a wonderful job. They love their dogs and some of those dogs, in fact, all those dogs are superstars. Rusty Happy Trails is off into retirement. P D. Rusty was deployed. Here are the stats. If you get the Rusty sort of you know, football card is what's on the back. Rusty was deployed five hundred and sixty eight times over a five year career. Apprehended one hundred and seventy five offenders. That's remarkable. That's a huge number. Recovered property worth seventeen thousand dollars. And most famously, we spoke about this at length on the program. You may recall that I'll tell you what. I'll read this police report. See if it rings a bell, because Rusty was the star of this story. Just before two am Thursday, fourth of Aargas Police were alerted to two men acting suspiciously in Arnold Close. The men were seeing trying door handles of cars and also a home in the street. Patrols attended the area located two of the men. One of the suspects immediately sped off on a mini dirt bike and was lost sight of PD rusting his hand and were conducting foot patrols in Knoblet Street when he saw a man walking the dirt bike through a gardener of a unit block. They confronted the man, who produced a screwdriver and threatened police. The suspect then allegedly attacked the officer, stabbing him in the hand and making several attempts to stab the police dog Rusty saved the police officer's life that day. We spoke about it at length at the time. This guy went nuts with a screwdriver and attacked him anyway, PD Rusty Happy trials.
What's the dog doing retirement?
Whatever the hell it wants on the SMOs tummy rubs? I what if they wanted the had having battle that training built into them. Whether do they just go back to being a normal dog or does someone light race memory where you know they're in the dog equivalent of at a retirement home and then they go, hang on, what's what's that bloke up to in the tea room? Then poor old Clem ninety six gets tacked by downsation because P. T Rusty thirty is stealing someos off the biscuit? Can you turn off those instincts? That's right?
Don't they have a trigger word?
Yeah, I think so. They're incredibly well intelligent animals. But I do wonder what does retirement look like for Rousty. Well, we'll find out. Happy trials p D Rusty. Let's check traffic. We'll come back and talk some sport in just a moment. Get to zoom of your mountain of texts as well. Visit Javistort its new home on Brighton Road and someone in part for savings across the Toyota certified pre owned range.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast twenty.
Three minutes after seven, we're going to checking with Jade Robron very very shortly. Then after seven thirty Phil Curry's going to join us in the nation's capital and if you would like to be part of our trial by jury that's going to happen at about quarter to eight. Stay listening too. If you missed out on a two hundred dollar Harvey Norman about you a little bit earlier, they're celebrating Australia made all this week at Harvey Norm're got another turn It doll about You to give away. After eight o'clock today, we'll check in with Jade very very shortly, maybe just a couple of texts.
In the meantime, quite a lot of support for what you said earlier will about climate change. Andrew says, my thoughts exactly well, why should we struggle in trying to fix the world with a zero missions target with such a small and negligible percentage of the problem? Zero emissions will only work when the world's largest emitters have zero emissions targets. And Peel in Henley Beek says, the people texting while driving are probably the same people that speed go through red lights and don't have a license. See Actually, sorry, Peel, I reckon, I don't think they are. I see so many well turned out, normal looking people, a lot of them women. I even go so far as so I reckon. I think using your mobile in the car it might be the only category of crime where women are equally represented and possibly over represented, because I see stacks of them doing so. I don't think. I don't, but I think I do not think that the mobile phone misdemeanor is linked to other ones. I think people people who would never think of breaking the law in any other sense do it.
It's not a broken windows scenario.
No, I reckon it's not your driving world, disqualified driving, unregistered, driving under the influence of meth or booze scenario. It's just people doing it.
Eleanor's called into the program. Morning you, Eleanor.
Good morning. I'm on the Southern Expressway coming in and there's a forecast smash. Please are on scene, but I've queued up from no longer.
So Eleanor, thank you for calling us and lending our listeners knowing people that might use that way that we're getting text about it to be prepared. Nathan, that doesn't sound good at all. Sorry, anyone with more information. We always appreciate your Intel. Don't do that damn thing you fix your computer. Were going to chat with Ja Jade Robin out in the road for us, Good boy, do you Jade?
Yeah, Good morning Jans. It's another chilly start to the morning, so rug up, folks. A few places eight wide overnight were freezing sous zero point seven in Parafield, minus one in Cadena, and I hope you've got your fires burning this morning. In Cuna Warra they drop to minus four point seven. So that happened just before five am, which is the coldest temp on record, minus two point one in Loxton at seven am, and a warm two point one in Claire and in the city. Right now in Adelaide it is four point four degrees and if you're on KI at the moment, it's thirteen point seven at Cape Willoughby. So slip slops, slap their folks. It's a warm one for today. In the city. We can expect a maximum temp of around eighteen degrees with mainly sunny conditions. But the Bureau of Meteorology they have issued several weather warnings affecting various parts of the state, so sheep graziers in the Upper Southeast and Lower Southeast forecast districts should be careful as cold temps today they do pose a risk to livestock. So frost warnings are also in place in the North Riverland, Murraylands, and Upper Southeast and Lower Southeast districts, with temps predicted to drop as low as minus three degrees. But as the week progresses the temps will get slightly warmer. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we're looking for nineteen degrees, but those cold mornings are still around. I'm off to find a warm cup of tea.
Yeah, that sounds like good strategy, strategy. We've been working together too long. Twenty seven after seven you did a double take.
Look that will shook me, Like, get your own damn woods.
Phil Curry coming up. It just divide and stick around.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast, twenty.
Four minutes to way, Phil Curry in the nation's capital, very very shortly. A trial by jury as well, not too far away. It's probably a good moment in the year to weigh our feelings on extreme weather, cold mornings, hot days. We're gonna put them to the jury trial test before eight o'clock this morning. Let's head to Let's head to Camber right now, because Phil Curry, he's on the line, the political leader of the Australian Financial Review. Feel good morning to you.
Morning.
Hello boys, Yeah, we good, thanks Phil. How's it all going there in Canberra? Is it chili over there yet?
Yeah?
The cold snap that you on Saturday came here on Sunday.
Sorry, there was two degrees in Peterborough yesterday.
Oh there you go.
What about that stumping ground? Yeah, bamie.
So how about at the moment, Phil overnight he had to catch up with.
The Pope sat down ahead a well, he went over there for the inauguration mass. As we know, he was invited. I think, you know, he would have liked to have gone to the funeral, but he was invited to that too, But that was about a week before the election, so he jumped at this chance. And I think I think he got the Pope to bless his mother's rosary beat rosary beat, rosary beats. Yeah, that was the That was the thing. I think he's going to be a little bit careful. I mean, you can understand, you know, these things you know are very special, you know, but but you are there sort of representing Australia's five million Catholics, not yourself sort of thing. I think sometimes you've got to be carried away with the personal side of it all. But you know, he is there's Prime Minister, not as Anthony alban as he private citizen. But he has, you know, said a few times his moment to be very proud of him being there all those sorts of things. As you know, he was raised a Catholic and he's sort of not rediscovered but reinmbrabraced his faith in the last few years when things got a bit tough. During the last term of government. He started going to church again. So you know, as I say, ain't no atheists in foxholes. So the Good Lord is the probably only person who doesn't talk back at you. So we'll give you our time on Twitter, so you know, whatever you do. But so yeah, it's you know, it's a big moment for him personally, but also good to represent the country. These things soil.
Do you think a coalition split is genuinely on the cards or is this part of the rough and tumble of negotiation between the Libs and the Nationals.
Look, you know we've have been down this road before, Will but it's probably as serious as they've ever been because of the existential crisis facing the Liberal Party. So you've got two things have happened. The Liberal Party has been wiped out of the cities and suburbs, and the Nationals have held all their seats and so the the the Nationals want more power and you can't you can't blame we're doing the right things, so we want more influence and we're not going to give up stuff. And the Initials, say the national So the Liberal tables because of you you know, bowing to your demands on climate and these sorts of things that were being wiped out. So there's there's a view on both sides that it might be just a good idea to go their separate ways for a while, I think, especially for the Liberal Party, because there's no way they can reconnect with all the sorts of voters they need to reconnect when you've still got Matt Canavan and the likes, you know, pulling the policy strings for the coalition, so you know they can't form government, even neither party would be able to have a form government on its own. But there's a sort of view around that maybe they go their own for a while and then sort of reconvene after closer to the next election when they've had a chance to do things. But there's a real negotiation at the moment between Susan Leader leader and David Little Proud, the Nationals leader. They do this thing called the Coalition Agreement, which happens after every election, where it's a secret deal. They never actually publish it, but it's the sort of things they agree to on carving up the shadow ministries and these sorts of things, and the Nationals this time are insisting on keeping these policies that the Liberals took the last election, you know, the forced vestiture of Supermarket's nuclear power and a couple other things which aren't the Liberals don't really want to have anything to do with anymore. So Lee is saying, look, you don't get You don't tell us what policies to adopt. We adopt our policies, you adopt yours, and then as a coalition we come up we shared policies. And so this is the sort of sticking point you feel like, and I'm sure probably will get resolved. But because if they do split up, then the Liberals will be the opposition and the Nationals won't be and they won't get the salaries of Sale's shadow ministers and stuff like it. So you know they self interest will sort of come into it. But it's pretty it's pretty fraught. Yeah.
So when Albo comes back to Australia field, what's what's in his introt, He's got the new cabinet set up, What's what's the sort of first priority for him?
Do you think, Look, he doesn't want to do a lot. I know that sounds weird, but I did speak to him a few weeks ago to start after the election, and he's been saying this publicly as well, but he just wants to slow the whole joint down. Get politics off the front page. Is the term, get sport back on the front page. So yeah, I think he's of the view that people have had enough for politics for a while. You know, election campaign has been going for a long time, you know, since late last year. But they've got a lot they haven't got a lot of new stuff to do. They didn't actually promise a lot at the election. They're not bringing parliament back till the end of July, and there's only a couple of pieces of legislation. One is the waving of debt for tertiary students, the sixteen billion dollar debt waiver, and the other ones is very controversial tax on superinnuation that they couldn't get through last turn, but they will get through this term because they've now got the control of the Senate. But apart from that, they don't have any legislation. You know, they've just got to sort of manage the energy transition, try and fix the economy. You know, it's I mean, that's the biggest problem is the budget and just sort of manage things I think for a while, which people probably won't mind. But you know, we should get an interest rate cut today, so that will this afternoon, so that will lock in low inflation and those sorts of things. So it's yeah, not a lot, to be honest. We'll wait and see that. We're going to think of something to do.
I think having politics off the front page and off the airwaves for a while is something that most people will applaud. You're gonna have a quiet period.
Two.
Okay, you tell Michael Stashbury I said that. Good on your mate, the political leader of the fin Review.
Thanks. Mate. All right, we're going to check trapping. Come back with a jury trial in just a moment where you can win yourself a one hundred dollars Semitas Seafood voucher. Just somebody who appears on the jury will randomly be awarded with one hundred dollars worth of Samtas seafood goes a hell of a long while. One hundred bucks Samtaz will get your freezer sort of for some time if you choose to go down that path.
I've got everything I needed at sam test the other day for fifty five dollars from making a payola, absolutely fantast.
Double that you do it twice. If you just appear on the jury, simply call eight double two three double o double. Oh, anyone could be part of the jury this morning. This is a really simple one. Let's check traffic first though. Who's at Javistou at a new home on Brighton Road in Summon and park for savings across the Toyota certified pre owned range.
David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast third eight.
To eight Southern Expressway is a disaster. We continue to get text from people saying it's no good. We'd love some specifics though, if you're stuck in it or you've been past it. So the last report we got was a twenty minute delay just by the someone. As you get all sense of these things based on the volume of correspondence we're getting, I've got a feeling it's worse than that. If anyone's a to call in, we'd love to hear from you, just for an updomes free of course, hands free, of course. Oh you've you know, lots of people carpol with a passenger of the car. You know, eight double two to three double o double oh is the number. Get calling and let us know what's happening out there. We know there was a crash, we know there are big delays, But twenty minutes I'll discover this funny feeling. It's going to come out and be a little bit worse than that. All right, let's have a jury trial.
The criminal justice system all defendant, so innocent until proven guilty, either by confession, plea bargain, or trial by jury. This is one of those trials.
Really simple one today because it feels like we're starting to get the weather extreme as we move into window. We had what three point one degrees in the morning yesterday, got down to about four degrees this morning. The question is this, what would you rather for the one hundreds of Samtais seafood voucher a four degree morning or a forty degree day? Well, good question, four degree morning or forty degree day. If you had to pick one, what would you what would you pick? Eight double two to three double o double oh. One hundred ll of sam test Sefood' actually go to someone who appears on the jury. It might be a little unfair given we've just had the two the cold morning. People might think I don't want any of this, but forty degree days are pretty punishing as well. Let's let's see what our durors think. Eight double two to three double o double, One hundred dollars worth of sam test seafood is on the line. During number one, what say you?
Yeah, I say forty degree day.
Yeah, forty degree day, thank you. It certainly feels preferable this morning. During number two, good.
Morning, Well, I'm in the Adelaide Hills, so the four degrees is more like zero point four and forty degrees of viris. So forty degrees.
Up two the barbecue over personal safety, why not? During number three, good.
Morning, Oh, good morning.
Well, the cold where the actually kills me, So it's got to be forty degrees all right?
During number three, thank you? During number four, good.
Morning, you can all want this warm up in the morning.
Four degrees every day?
Yeah, I'm with you. J Yeah. At first blush, you think, oh, brother, be warm. But there's only so many clothes you can you can't. Well, you can always put on more.
Clothes unless you're homeless, of course. Well, I think thinking about our good friends at Catherine House and the Hut Street Center. But times like this, when they declare code blues, you think of the homeless. But to during number four's point everybody else, I think it's you can easily come up with a strategy to beat the cold. You can't beat a forty degree day. You can't get around it.
What do you think? During number five?
I love the cold.
The cold is the better and I was born in Wogga.
So you know a bit about it. It gets cold there.
Yeah, yeah, so I love it.
You clearly were born in Wogga because you didn't call it Wogga Wogger. During number four, Yeah.
Wolga based hospital, Wogga Wogga's dou New South Wales.
And Spike Million asked the great question, why do they call woggle woggle woggle but they don't call woy woy woy?
Do you a number six?
Good morning, Good morning advice?
How I I love your show. I'm I'm known as the Southern Flasher, and I prefer forty forty degree days because right now, comparison to four degrees when I do my work, I've just got to describe myself. It's just not on.
I prefer the heat.
There's might be a first that ever gets to knock on the door by sapole. Do you number seventh? Good morning better than the pure.
Good morning boys bella climber's on, thermals are on footy socks are on, scars on two pairs of gloves born in breaking, spent time, Mallae springs, miville juror give me forty degrees any day.
Yeah, so forty degrees is one forty degrees one by a narrow margin. Who gets during number seven? You can have one hundred dollars semi seafood about you too, I reckon we yes, okay, sorry, I just did it just as simple as that excellent one hundred dollars worth of semtis severd coming your way during number seven, thanks to all our seven durors. I just want to do it quickly because.
You're number six was all about Sorry.
Let's not reflect on that. I wanted to move on quickly because Abbey Smith's called in from ten years first, Abby, good morning to you. You've just driven through the Southern Expressway.
Good morning. Yes, it took me forty five minutes to get from the on ramp at Older longer to marriage to get off at Marion Road. It's taken me forty five minutes and usually that's my commute into ten from my house at Seaford. So yeah, it's a bit of a mass go up South Road or long style highway if you can.
Crikey, hebby. I'm just looking at a traffic map. So there's a red line that extends from more for Vale all the way past Shidow Park. It's a long stretch.
Yeah, it was a three car crash that they were all pulled off to the side police. There was a paddy wagon for the wright as well, and another police car as I drove past was just pulling in, and a traffic guy as well. So hopefully it's cleaned up soon. But it's just an as this happens multiple times a week.
It's just an absolute must drive your nuts abby. Did you get a sense was it Did it look like as defender bender or were the cars badly beaten up?
The person at the back at the front was all smashed in, so the first two looked alright, but the person at the back, that'll be a right off, I would say.
No, what is a normal commute from Seaford in peak hour? Have you what half an hour?
Yeah?
Usually it takes me about thirty five to forty minutes to get from my face at Seaford to Greenhill Road where Channel ten is.
Yeah.
So yeah, for it to take forty five minutes to just get to marry.
In is a bit of a pain.
Hey, you enjoyed the switch and rad out of TV? Have is it traded you?
Well?
Yeah, we're doing well, all.
Good, good stuff. Good. We appreciate your call again. Thank you Abby Smith from ten years first once with us here and over of course. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Chris the Builder just throated bloody silks. I don't know which which version he says. People are looking about forty degrees or forty degrees, probably as the building, probably both, Yeah, probably rain, hail or shine. They're out there building, aren't they normally the Yes, there's a whole.
Good point here. Who cares if it's four degrees or forty degrees? Every day when the sun shines, it's a lovely day. And don't forget there are wars going on in other parts of the war. We are very lucky, indeed we are.
That's true. Yeah, it's not like our jury is about we know which state should we give up to the invading You know imperialist nation.
Which part of Australia should we succeed to flator me poop?
Yeah, exactly right. Hey, it's going to the Chelse Flower Show on your bucket list? I bet it would be for a host of our listeners. I'm just thinking of you as a gardener type or is it not your thing? No, I'm not a message flower guy. If you're going to go to a garden, no, No, I want to go to like a big, big sculpted garden like you know some of the gardens in Spain or Italy, but not the actual cut flower type. It's a bit too Yeah, okay, fair enough. Well King Charles's two there's six hundred exhibitions on. He went in just beforehand. One of the rarest flowers at the show is the blue orchid that's from here in Australia. Not familiar with the blue orchid. It's a new experience for the show. According to Australian botanist Kingsley Dixon, this.
Is the very first time these Australian bush orcherds have ever been seen in the public. We see them in every bushland stroll in Australia and we have the bluest of workers, and that's what we've got here on the display. So for the UK public and for the global visitors, this is a real treat.
Judging is harsh. Apparently you have a single misplaced pedal or a leaf and that can be the difference between winning and losing. It seemed to be a lucky element, wouldn't it. It could drop it, yeah, although some people wait, you know it was like what's it called Crufts the dog show? Yes, you know people who growth like you see at the at the Royal Show here in Adelaide when they have the succulens, some of them you just look at them, going, how did that get so utterly symmetrical? But you're right, some of it is just.
Nature, but also people prune them and shape them like I suppose Bon's eyes the ultimate form of that, isn't it.
You know we've bonze eyes we've killed over the years. If there was like a Bonze I rs pc A, I'd be in jail. I've tried so hard to make Bonzie a thing.
It's what do you think you've done wrong?
Over water and just haven't cared for them downy in Enfield.
Oh, young guys, they're just wandering up about the new twenty five and an our rule in front of an raa man. On a number of occasions, I drive to Merlbourne heats the Times and you're coming over a ridge and you see a car broken down, because that's not going to show you the it once to breakdown, and all of a sudden everyone puts their anchors on. You're going to have so many accidents, it's going to be unbelievable, and some are going to be faith or a semi trailer doing one hundred klumeters an hour to stop the twenty five within one hundred meters is just not going to happen. I just think what a crazy rule. Whoever brought it up needs to obviously doesn't drive on major freeways very often and basically bring it down to a safe speed, but not twenty five plumbas an hour. That's just not on.
Do you use the roads to come to your roads a lot, Danny. Are you out on the roads for part of your job?
No, not part of my job. But I go to Melbourne a lot because I'm married to Melbourne. So every time we could get out and about we go over it probably ten to fifteen times a year. So I've been doing that for thirty years and I've seen some crazy things out in the meat big road. A lot of people that drive in the city don't understand. I understand in the sixty kilometer hour zone on Port Rush Road, not it not an issue. But when you're on country road and you're coming around the bend and you're car pulled over with a light flashing, you put your anchors on, you lost your brakes, toga to go straight for a tree or head and hit the five cars in front, and you could even loose control, take out the van with the mechanic with a guy passed in the car. Crazy job out in the country. Yes, I understand in the city, but on a major road lot that they got no idea what they're talking about.
Danny, thank you. I think this is the this is the crux of the issue, because the guys pulling out that are doing the roadwork on the side of the road all say them the scenario you describe as the one they sees the most dangerous for their will being too. At the moment, it's one hundred and ten in the country and you're on you know, a duel lane, carriageway or something and you're trying to fix someone's car off to the side. But I get what. I get what Danny's saying to go. From then one hundred and ten to twenty five, I haven't done them drive to Melbourne for a while. Twenty seventeen, in fact, was the last time I did it. Probably the last time you did it too, will maybe the last time I'll have No, I did it. I did it. I did it during COVID, I remember infamously because no, no, no, we were over there on holidays and then my wife got COVID while she was pregnant, and just to do it, we were on a nighttime border run. We were yeah, we were on No it wasn't wasn't because of any closing borders. We had to do a dash back to Adelaide because you kind of wanted to be closed to you know, doctors and you support and everything. But we were down near is it Mornington Peninsula the other side? You yeah, we're on the Mornington Peninsula. And then she's like, I want to go home, and we.
Were I remember that.
I remember that. Yeah, So we just charged home, but to Daddy's p I can't remember seeing that many RAA vehicles or whatever whatever it's called in Victoria on the side of country roads. I don't know. I think the main thing is I don't think the scenario is not an unimaginable one. But I don't think the takeout should be well, the laws ridiculous and just ignore it. I think we should do everything we can because those guys out there working for the ra A, well, literally, let's just tie your bodies on the line. Oh completely, But maybe let's hope the people enforcing exercise and discretion when it comes to the scenario specifically, like the one Danny is talking about. Five double a news is coming up. Breaking eight is not too far away. Plenty to come on five double a.
Break David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double a breakfast.
But it's after eight, breaking eight coming up in just a moment, after eight thirty. We're going to endeavored a bit of a whip around to some of our coastal areas to get a check in on the algill bloom and how it's affecting things. There were cand trying to speak to some people in the research industry, some people in local government, the state government, and others, just to get a sense of how it's going. Is it getting any better? Is it getting any worse? What are you being told with regard to what it'll take for it to move? Honestly, Susan Close in the paper this morning, again the environment is just saying we're just in a good storm. Yeah, there's a.
Text along those lines earlier too. So I suppose given that it's the size of Kangaro Island, there's no way of artificially going in there chuning the thing up. Is there with the world's largest smeg stick.
Wand or something. Everyone can take your blender down to the beach. I think it's gonna It's not going to get it done, Unfortunately, no, But we talked about that also. Susan Stone from UNISA, she's the Credit Union Economics chair. Then we love talking to her on RBA days to explain what might happen today. We think we know it will happen today a twenty five basis point cut, But then what does that mean about the rest of the year, and what's her reading of all the tea leaves. I want to throw this out there though quickly before we get to breaking it. Op and I reckon we'll get zero people. But if where there's one out there who's in this category, I know it's going to be a great story. Have you ever been fired from the same job twice? Dodge job fed? Jubig we are is the the drummer of the Who. Zach Starkey has now been fired from the band for a second time. It's something out of spinal tap, it really is. At least he didn't spontaneously combust. So Zach Starky was the drum of the band in nineteen ninety six, and a month ago he was fired, and then he was rehired. Well, yesterday he was fired again. Pete Townsend put out a Instagram post yesterday saying that Zach Starkey was no longer part of the band. He said, after many years of great work on drums from Zach, the time has come for a change, a poignant time. Zach has a lot of new projects in hand and I wish him the best.
Well.
Zach Starky said, Yeah, I've got some projects, but none of them involved me leaving the Who. I've been sacked, he says, not true. I love the Who. I would never have quit and let down so many amazing people who stood up for me through all this madness.
Starky is he related to Ringa because Ringo's real name is Starky. I'm not sure if he is might be your son.
In April, Zach Starky had been fired over a disagreement about his performance at They're Royal Abbot Hall gig, and then bizarrely, Pete Townsend went on his Instagram again and said three days later that Zach Starkey was back. He said, there've been some communication issues personal, private and all sites that needed to be dealt with, and those have been aired happily. I'm not sure had the communication issue well, it comes around how badly you played at the Royal Albert Hall. But anyway, I wouldn't have thought that the Who would be such sticklers for utterly professional workplace practices, given that their first drummer was Keith Moon. I mean, I don't know what Zach's been up to. Have you ever been sacked from the same job to life? I can't believe any of all arts to this in the affirmative, but as I said, I reckon, there might be if you can, I'm sure it's a great story. If you can, there'd be people who had buy ups with their boss and said, stuff this, I'm out of here. And it all came to a head and then they worked it all out and patched it up and went back. Well, it's that great Larry David's story that ended up being the premise for a Seinfield episode where he was working at Saturday Night Live at the time and one of his skits had been rejected one of his comedy schedus or he felt a few of them in a road, so he cracked it and told him all the where to go and get stuffed and they can stick the job where the sun don't shine. And he woke up the next morning was chatting with his neighbor, who was the real life Cramer really, and he said, I've made this horrible mistake. I had the career opportunity of a lifetime. And the Kramer said to him, how about you just turn up on Monday like nothing happened. That won't work, And he said, why don't you just try it? So he went in Monday, how you guys there, you know, all right, let's get down to business. And he continued on like like nothing have happened, no need to rescind the retirement.
Nick and Croydon Park, says John Cosmeena, who used to catch Adelaide United. He was sacked twice in the same job.
That's a good one. Yeah, all right, we'd love to keep him coming in. I hang, fact, Barry's on the line, Barry so Zach Starky is he related to Ringo Zack Starkey?
Is Ringo Starr's son?
Right?
Okay?
And when he was a kid he was taught to play drums by Keith Moon, the original drummer of Booh.
He didn't teach you how to drink, don't know, I mean could have better pedigree then Keith Muderringo. Now he's been sacked twice.
Thanks to everybody who texted in saying that he is in fact Ringo Star's son as well. We think, after the dramas that they've had at the hands of the courts on account of the election results where the entire central Ward turn out at the last City Council election was declared null and void on account of the crooked practices involving overseas students, that the council will be doing everything within its power to make it easy for reputable rate payers, particularly businesses to get out and vote. Well, we're hearing that the opposite is the case. And this is not suggesting any sort of sinister or nefarious conduct on the part of the Council. Rather, the sort of plotting bureaucratic process by which businesses are being told to enroll to vote is proving so onerous that some of them, after weeks of trying, are still unable to do so. One of them is today's guest, Colin Shearing. You'd know Colin from his workers to see of the Independent Retailers Association and also as the part time see of the Victor Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Colin, good morning, and thanks so much for joining us. It sounds like you've been banging out against a brick wall on this front. Yes, yes, look.
This is yes, Minister two point zero. I mean so Humphrey Applebee would be proud of this, which is bereft, totally bereast of logic, any logic whatsoever. So I've been trying to register my company on the voter's roll, which closes, by the way, on the thirtieth of May, and in that process I've been told that because I'm on a first floor of a building here in Adelaide that I am in a shared workplace, and I'm thinking, well, what on earth has that got to do with the price of eggs, Because at the end of the day, I pay my taxes, I have my own ABN.
You know, I'm a.
Legitimate company and at the end of the day I share. Yes, I share a floor. But they're basically saying we need to have walls, you need to be able to lock your office and everything else. And I'm thinking, where is this garbage coming from and who are making these rules? And it's very subjective. My concern here, David, is that you have a lot of shared workplaces here in Adelaide, and you know how many businesses are going to be impeded by not having a say in the city of Adelaide by election or in any election down the track when they put these rules in place, which is just ridiculous. It's ludicrous.
I'm thinking a lot of people I know who work in shared offer spaces. Some people rent just almost like a desk area in shared workplaces in some of the lane ways around town, who work in creative industries and different things like that. Yeah, the problem sort of been that you haven't been able to say that you know, I am Colin Sheering of one two one King William Street or whatever, and that as a result of that that I have said, well, we don't actually think you necessarily exist.
Well, we don't know. I mean the thing the point is we don't know that. I mean, this whole process about even getting acknowledgments about Look, we're looking through the process will let you know. You know, it'll take some time. That took a couple of weeks to even get back to me after me following that through. It should be their their their job of doing the right thing and actually standing by their businesses. And we're talking about again, you know the total value of rates that are collected within the city of Adelaid, particularly in the central ward. You know that eighty percent of them come from businesses. And yet you have and yet you have overseas students that can come in be here for a month automatically on the voter's roll, and then they can leave it. They can leave a month later. And that what does that say? So are we discriminated against?
Yeah, good questions. We'll raise that with the council and see if we can get some sort of explanation because my understanding is that they haven't actually had time to change the laws preventing overseas students from from voting anyway. There's been no resolution on that front, so the thing that got him into strife in the first place could conceivably still happen again. Colin Shearing from the Independent Retailers Association and the Victor Harbor Chamber of Commerce, thanks for joining us this morning.
Weird, isn't it. It's just absolutely ludicrous situation. Well about having a dog in the fight the local businesses. Yeah, well I know when we had the Lord Mayor on about it, she was very careded about what a debarkle the whole thing had been last time. So for the life of me, I can't work out why these students were allowed to even vote. Yeah, it makes no sense. We've got no long term commit into the country. They're not going to take a long term view on the fear study living in the count The council itself doesn't really have that much bearing on you. No, I wouldn't have thought eight and after eight. Something that has said bearing on people with mortgages has been the cash rate and where the expectation is we're going to get a cut today, But what are we going to learn about what happens for the rest of the year. Is there more relief on the way? Is there a chance that the Reserve Bank could double up this time around today and do a fifty basis point cut. Some banks have predicted that, Well, we're going to find it out with Susan Stone from UNISA in just a moment. Let's check traffic first, though, visit Jarvistut's new home on Brighton Road and someoned park for savings across the toyotas certified pre owned range.
David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.
Twenty two minutes after right. Most economists predicting we're going to get a rate cut today the crash rate, currently at four point one percent, to twenty five basis points would get us down to three point eight five. The Advertiser, crunching the numbers in the paper this morning, six hundred and sixty thousand dollars mortgage would reduce payments by one hundred dollars a month, which, in isolation you go, okay, it's not bad. Twenty five bucks a week. It's more than the tax cuts that you know, we're a source of much discussion during an election, but then when you start coupling it with the rate cut we've had and the potential of two or maybe even three more, we're talking a significant sum of money being putting back in the pockets of Australian mortgage holders. But what happens today? What comes next? For that, we enlist the help of the terrific Dr Susan Stone, who is the Essay Economics Chair thanks to Credit Union at UNISA. Doctor Stone, good morning to you.
Good morning, So let's.
Try and answer some of that. Then, do you agree rate cut today? And what are you looking for with regard to what the RBA says about where we might be headed for the rest of this year.
Yeah, I mean, as you said, it's fairly at least according to the market, it's almost a done deal. Ninety percent of market analysts and economists have predicted a rate cut today. I think we'll probably get a rate cut summer coin for FERO point five, I think point two five is probably more likely. But it is the big question about what comes next. If we look at what the RBA said after the February rate cut, they felt that a more neutral stance would be about three and a half percent, So that implies one more rate cut coming. If you know, if the economy, unless something really dramatically changes, I would think that would probably where we would be by the end of the year.
So do you think for the foreseeable future then, doctor Stein, it's going to be this or lower, and that there's not going to be any sort of upward pressure for some time.
Well, that's a good point, because I think that's why they'll proceed cautiously because of the potential for upward pressure. We don't see the big worry, as you remember, was first there there was a worry that the services inflations wasn't coming down fast enough. Now that's been coming down, you know, not not tremendously, but it's coming down at a good clip, So that's kind of been put on the back burner. There continues to be pressure from the housing market. We expect that pressure to actually kind of increase, so there will be increasing prices on housing, and also what's going on overseas will eventually translate itself into potentially higher prices. Now how high those prices go will depend on the outcome of a lot of these tariff negotiations and where we end up in that space. You know, if that doesn't have a big impact on the import prices coming into Australia, then there won't be as much pressure there and we can and we can proceed, you know, without worrying about that too much. But because there's these uncertainties going forward, I don't see the RBA rushing uh to get into a very low interest rate environment.
Again, what about the unemployment right? It seems to be a curiosity. He is full point one percent, which is lower than historically. What you know, the banks imagine that the non accelerating inflectioning right of unemployment, which would bill a van five percent, which is just a fancy wife say, when unemployment's really low, that is a potential driver of inflation. So how is that going to factor into the decision today?
Yeah, that's a good point too. The unemployment rate, it's interesting because it didn't change, but that's because more people were working, but more people were participating. You have to keep in mind that the unemployment rate are it's made up of the number of people who aren't working versus the number of people who are working or looking for work. So if both of the number on the top and the number on the bottom changed by about the same amount. That means the ratio doesn't change. So even though there were more people working, there are more people looking for work. So it's a it's a kind of steady state picture from the unemployment rate perspective, and so there's not once again, it's kind of like a neutral policy. We would see the RBA going into because it's not expanding, but it's not contracting. It's just kind of holding at a certain rate.
After the years that we've had, I think everyone will be looking forward to this, everyone with a house and the mortgage. That is, Doctor Susan Stein, your analysis is always crystal clear. We appreciate your involvement with our program. Doctor Stone is the SA Economics Chair at UNISI, Credit Union SI Economics Chair at UNISI. Thanks for your Tom Dougla.
Steine, No, thank you for having me. Always a pleasure.
Twenty seven minutes after right, we're going to talk algall bloom after eight thirty. Stay with us. In fact, if you've had any observations of your own, you may be listening from a coastal community where you've seen the effects up close, and you've got a perspective on this. We'd love to hear from you too. This is we were to do a bit of a check in on this story. The front page is confronting and the advertiser today where I think it's appropriately described by an expert as being like a bush fire under the water.
We've been contacted to just a relation of breaking an eight by a landlord, a city landlord who says that the council's social media and they've provided an example of it. Says, this is on Facebook, register as a property occupier to vote, telling all city businesses get involved. But he's spoken to the council on behalf of his tenants because he has tenants in the same boat as Colin who are leasing space in the building that he owns. And the council said, oh, you know that not allowed to vote? Why not? Obously students can, but someone who who subleases a space in a building can't. It just makes zero and that's.
Peculiar suit They've they've got to fix. They've got more stake in what the future of the city is than someone who's.
Just passing for they're a city based business.
Very bizarre.
Five double A news is coming up more shortly David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double a Breakfast twenty two.
But it's the nine. This is intriguing text from Dion on the text lines here before zero eight thirteen ninety five, he says there's an issue with the Ada Harbor train line. Again, he says, it's the train I'm on. It's stopped at Port Adelaide. Told delays due to issues closer to the Adelaide station. Funny that since the start the state government took over running the train network, in my experience, it's been less reliable. Point failures at Adelaide yard. We've been told. Now we went to the Essay Metro website and they said that there are no delays with the trains. Well, Dion says, they're packed in them like sardines and the trainings on and it's not going anywhere. So we will try to get at the bottom of that. For you and anyone else is on board, give us a call if you want to talk about it. Good. What have we been told and what have you found out in the meantime, something we wanted to do since we talked about it at length at seven o'clock this morning, is just do a bit of a whip around from people that have been witnesses to what the ouggall bloom is causing on our beaches. I mean, this is an environmental disaster the likes of which we haven't seen for a while. Again, I'll repeat that excellent turn of phrase used by a marine biologist and the ties of this morning that this is the equivalent of a bushfire under the sea. Sea life is being killed. We see the bits that obviously wash up, but it is unlike anything we've seen before, and every expert we've spoken to has said that. So we want to do a bit of a rip around to communities. Kangar Island is a really important one here. Michael Pinilli, the mayor there, is going to join us in just a moment. But on ab out listeners, Adam sent us through a couple in the last week some really concerning pictures of sea life washing up at Port Vincent. Now you call Lark's baheime typically Adam, good morning to you. But what did you see Port Vincent?
Yeah, Dave, well, yeah, Luke used to live in Largs Bay. But I got to mister fairbit, I've never seen when I walk my dog along the back beach every morning. There so many dead fish. I noticed one, then two, than three, and then as I moved the seaweed away finding them everywhere.
What sort of fish? What variety of fish were there?
Adam?
You know the skate that usually hangs around when when you're raking for credit. Yep, yep, quite a few of them, probably more so catfish, which I've never even caught a catfish on a line out there, so I don't even know where the catfish is coming from. They are all probably five or six of them dead, and then two dog sharks.
It sounds like from what you're describing, it sounds like they're all bottom dwelling fish too.
Yeah.
I suppoke to my old man about it, and he reckons it's like the gills, you know how the normal fish just has that single gill, but then both sort of fish have like multiple gills.
Yeah.
Yeah, things like the alga blunt and the.
Gills just sucking it all in.
Yeah.
It's horrible, horrible, horrible thing to see.
Worth reporting because I mean we obviously you know here in metropolitan Adelaide, it's places like Port Vincent, and I think people are seeing this most dramatically and Kangaro Island. There was a really disturbing quote paper this morning from Roanna Holbelt, who's the owner and operator of Kango Island based research and touring company rad KI said, this is a quote she'd spoken with thirty or forty people who had picked up dozens of leafy sea dragons. You know, the unique, unique to this part of the world, the leafy sea dragon. She said before the bloom outbreak, she'd only ever found one dead leafy sea dragon on the beach. This is someone who does this for a living. Michael Pengilli, the Mayor of Kango Islands, on the line mayor, good morning.
To you, Good morning boys, and good morning to your listeners.
Mean every time I've gone to Ki, you get there, it doesn't matter if you're on the south side of the north side. You have the sense that this is the ultimate unspoiled oceanic sort of wilderness. It must be heartbreaking seeing those some of the images of all the dead fish on island, beach and other parts of the island. How bad has it been for the local community.
Oh, it's devastating. It's devastating for the sea life. It's devastating for the community, people who down there walking on the beaches. Visitors have been pretty appalled their numbers have dropped off now there's it's just a real kick in the guts for South Australia and particularly for the North coast of Kangle Island. The south coast is not as badly affected. The West end has some effect out there as well, but the North coast is really the area that's been hit very hard and continuing to be hit hard.
I guess too obviously the geography of it being much more enclosed on the south side and still know you sort of rest bite on the horizon.
No, what we need is the West Leies to kick in winter West Leies. That just hasn't happened yet. So if you look at Investigate Australia, it's really a big lake outflows one endclass the west end of the island, the other one through backstairs passage. The Gulfs are there as well, particularly the Gulf's and events, so there's just not the wind to break things up. The phones out there. The water's discolored in parts. If I stand on the hill at our place, look out and see it doesn't look any different whatsoever to what you see every day, but in close it's absolutely frightening and horrendous. And the analogy with the bushfires is one I've used myself. It was five years ago. There's you two both recall quite clearly the island was black, well half the island was black. We're still recovering from that. And this is my concern is how long it will take to recover, for stocks to get back to normal. I can't see it recovering in any short time. Has just been the amount of devastation on the beaches is just its terrible.
Do older locals on the island, Michael, have recollection of an event like.
This, No, I've never seen anything like it in my life. We've had things go wrong from time to time, of course, but nothing like this. This is just a monster, an absolute monster, and it's yeah, it's I haven't spoken to anyone who has said the professional fishermen, the hookies have pretty much given up going fishing because there's just nothing out there. But in the same vogue, we were told I did a minister or hook up with Susan close last week and they said there that person said that the catchers were whiting in Kalamari outside the Alga bloom area actually increased. So whether the fish have gone into clear water so they can breed, that's what they can't do. But this moon that stops some breathing in esocence. It's just pretty horrendous.
Yeah, yeah, thanks for your time, Mey and Michael Pingelli there from the King of Island Council.
Well, it's head to the Prime Industries Minister Claire Scriven now a minister, good morning to you. Good read comments from Susan Close this morning. She said what we need is a weather a bit. We need a storm or something to move on this bloom. The rain and wind we're going to get this weekend, is that going to be of a the scale required to potentially move this thing on or not?
Look at this page, it's really hard to know. We know we need the westerly winds as was mentioned by Michael Pingilly there. We need not to be having calm seas we need the opposite of that, and so it's a little unclear at this stage whether the weekend will be sufficient. We certainly hope that it will, but as with so many things when we're talking about the marine environment, the natural environment, we can't be sure, it's not something that we can control, but certainly having increased rain, having winds from the west, those are the things that will make the difference.
Has it been possible to quantify, a minister, the extent of the damage that's.
Been done.
In terms of marine life.
Human they have a loss of life and so forth.
Yeah, look, no, not so far. Obviously people are seeing a lot of the dead marine life fish being washed up and so on, and that's really concerning for people, it's distressing for peace. But in terms of quantifying it's very difficult because for some extent, when we're talking about, for example, the impact on commercial fisheries, it's the end of the season for a number of species, but.
Not for all.
And obviously yes, at the risk ofstrating the obvious, you know, fish move around the ocean and so being able to identify exactly what the impact will be because of a fishkill event in a particular area is quite difficult.
Have your scientists been out a point to some sort of historical a precedent for this of something we can take lessons from. Has it happened anywhere else? Has it happened in South Australia before?
Yeah, that's a really interesting question. The last time we had an alga bloom of the significant size in South Australia was I think for memory of that twenty fourteen around Coffin Bay, so that's quite some time ago. Alga blooms do happen els where around the world. Usually they dissipate, often within a few weeks because of weather. The relatively unusual whether that we're having here is the reason why it hasn't dissipated here and is continuing to grow. But they do, they do end up being moved on or disappearing because of weather events, and that's what we would look forward to here, I guess. On the other side, there's a lot of questions around, for example, the behavior of marine animals and whether that's being affected by the bloom, and because it is a relatively unusual event, we don't have specific and conclusive information about that. But this event that we're experiencing at the moment will mean that there is more information that can be drawn on for future research and insight.
Is the consensus Minister that the principal source of the bloom is water temperature.
Yes, so there's a water heat waves, essentially a marine heat wave and the temperatures that we've been around about two and a half degrees higher than usual. Now, that probably doesn't sound like a lot because this is a marine environment. According to my advice, one could use an analogy. It's only an analogy, but it would be as though here on land we are experiencing fifty five degrees. So it's that kind of difference between what we will be expecting, and so that temperature is causing a lot of issues, and the alga bloom is one of the major ones.
What are the state government hearing from the major industries that are impacted by this? Have we got a sense about whether does this become catastrophic if it's here in a month, if it's two months, or you're already at a point where, like Michael Pingilli said, some of these fishing operations are in diastraits as a result of this.
So a lot really very very concerned, and it does depend where the algal bloom moves and when. Obviously, if we do get those veins and those westerly winds and it dissipates, that's the best outcome for or concerned. But the various fishing sectors are very conscious of the potential impact, and what is happening is people are moving. Of course, they're fishing activities to areas where the algal bloom is not. And as I think one of ever earlier callers mentioned, that does mean that for a couple of species, they're actually having very very good takes. And they're still subject of course to quote auto maximum limits and that kind of thing, so it's not a matter of overfishing, but it means that in some of those areas where perhaps there is the clear water, they're getting a better take in a less period of time, whereas other areas perhaps the fish are not going to be there. And again, as coming about to your earlier question about being able to quantify the impact, it's too early to be able to do that at this stage.
So this might sound like a bit of a nutty professor sort of a question, But has anyone have you got a couple of people in the department who are looking at strategies to intervene in future algal bloom outbreaks and somehow break them up, or is it one of those things where it's too big a task to fight nature and we're just going to wait for the weather to sort it out.
Well, at this stage there's as far as I'm aware, there is no proposal that has is well considered I guess by scientists to be able to break up the blue There's no known way of doing that now. Of course, as people are experiencing this more and we're able to learn from it, perhaps there will be something that comes to light as a possible solution. But at this stage, from the evidence that we've seen, not just here in Australia but around the world, there's nothing that can be done other than waiting for the weather to change.
Claise Gooven, the Minister for Primary Industry, thanks very much for joining us for that chat.
Let's take a call. Kevin's on the line morning Kevin.
Oh, good morning Jens.
How are you good?
Thanks Kevin.
A little liver Port, Broughton and we've got the exact same weather conditions on Spencer Golf virtually no wind, still waters, warm waters and no algile bloom. I am just wondering whether there is something in the water because of a larger better poten area, such as detergents and other chemicals, which is feeding this alga. Not the water should be tested in both gulfs and stiff. There's a difference.
Yeah, thank you, Kevin. Thanks Kevin. They seem the site has seem pretty sure as a result of the Yeah, the temperature here and.
It does seem to be the contensus. And we still get texts about Chinese surveillance ships and the detail plant. But I don't think anyone's placing any truck in either of those theories, particularly the Chinese surveillance vessel. You know, it just sounds like weather. Yeah, it does, it does. All right, let's check traffic. We're going to come back to wrap in just a moment.

Belatedly, John in Normanville text in saying, like others, I'm increasingly concerned about this plague. I saw to and from Port Lincoln on a return trip last week. After a stop at Wedge Island, I noticed no sightings of the usual seabirds, and after the all thorpes at the tip of York Peninsula, we saw no dolphins from there, and we're in a cove marina, which gives me great concerns. Thank you for that, John, that's the flow on effects. What are they who knows and knowing given outs of how long this is going to be here?
No, what was it? It's another year? Yeah, I mean it seems unlikely, but everything about this has been unlikely to this point.
Well, you know, I actually thought the most disturbing comment in that whole chat. People who know Michael Pengilly, Michael's not what you call bleeding heart lefty by any stress.
He's no environmentalist.
No, well, I think he's an environment lover, but he's he loves it. I don't think he's going to He wasn't on the left of the Liberal Party. Michael put it that way. He's not a supporter of extinction rebellion, no, he said, And Michael knows every old person on Kingra Island. No one can remember this happening.
Yeah, if Michael says this is a disaster, I'm inclined to think it is. No one's overstating how serious this is.
Yeah, that was his exact word.
