Heit minutes after see it's good morning to you and welcome to Monday and five Double A Breakfast. It is the fifth of May. We've got a big morning ahead for you. Stacy Lee is going to be must listen to radio after seven thirty today. She and Simon Birmingham will take you through the fallout from a remarkable election result on Saturday night that we called here on five Double A. We'll be talking with them both over the course of the morning. We're after the US Rob Scott the Channel seven. He's going to get us across the details surrounding what was a potentially very very serious situation the Lady Gaga concert at in Rio de Janeiro. This is that crazy beach concert where they get million, literally millions of people. Two million people were there. Well, someone had targeted it with a bomb plot, and we're going to be talking about that. Just before seven o'clock today. We've got Showdown tickets to give away today. How's everyone feeling in Showdown week? I reckon that depends on where and to who you're asking the of the question. Love to have you on board right throughout the morning. Eight double two three, Double A Double A. You can jump on the text lines zero before eight zero eight thirty ninety five. David Penberth, good morning to you.

Good morning, Will, Good morning listeners. I don't know as a Crows fan. In a weird kind of way, Saturday's results make me slightly more nervous about the showdown because I'll tell you what. After the pants thing they got in Ballarat? Can we just ban these ballertte games? Why is it there and why is it always out Australian teams that have to go there? Seriously, doesn't matter if it's poor or the Crows. Imagine the outcry if Collingwater to Geelong or Carlton got told that they had to go up there even though it's only like two hours away. Nine hundred tickets was the way location for Port fans? Total disgrace.

I know we have I don't want to dob him in. In fact, I wait, I'll be vague because I don't ownify one of the only five hundred people, but one of our beloved port listeners drove over for that game.

Really yeah, long drive back after a ninety point loss? Is there other stuff to do in Ballarat? Ballarat is quite nice, isn't it. No Rember all recollection of Ballerat. I'm sure I've been there, would have been there on family driving holidays. Is as kids with the old RAA strip maps in the eighties. Here we are next stop u yin.

You're right that it looks to watch that game on the weekend. It does nothing for the promotion of the game.

It doesn't make you want to go to Ballert What doesn't make you want to go to the footy No, it makes you want to barrack first. Better off hosting it Dynamo Key. That's working exactly. Maybe not at the moment. It's a really good no exactly, but it's a really good advertisement for not following Bossie rules because it just looks like the worst game in the world. It does, and it just looks third rate. If they should they it's a really bad advertisement for Ballarat too. It's it's sort of like gather Round in reverse. Yeah, where you you chune in. There's a small crowd, A lot of them aren't having any fun at all. It looks like it's about minus three and there's nothing to do there. It should be called non gather round. I will never go to Ballarat. Round just feels like I just worry game. Well, the message to Port all week is guys, listen, are you serious? Wake? Are we going to bowl this rubbish up at a home showdown? I think it could actually be really full on game. Well, the others are the Bulldogs are really good. Now, no one should be ninety points better than you, but that they are a seriously high quality outfit in footy terms. Then what was your what's the point margin on the the coalitions loss in the election on the weekend? It feels worse than a ninety point loss. Well, it's it's the worst ever. I don't want to rub it in for Port fans, but this is the one hundred and nineteen point. This is the high point in the modern era. It's never been worse this in the South Australian context. And we're going to get into the detail later. Folks. If you live as almost all of you who listen to our show do you, well, that's not true. We've got a lot of regional listeners too, a lot of counter listeners, but overwhelmingly the population of South Australia is concentrated in the cities. We only have two rural electorates, Gray up North and Barker in the southeast. Both of them have been retained by the libs or bit with swings against them, particularly in Gray, particularly in Gray. But Anyono set that one son.

You remember that retiring long time incumbent labor Sometimes you get that Labour.

Could have on that seat if they got there back together. I reckon, well, they might be focusing on it next time, mightn't they. Well, it's probably the most marginal winnable seat left for them. So if you live in suburban Adelaide, that's anywhere anywhere from Elizabeth Salisbury Gall all the way down towards so Celx Beach. And if you live in the eastern side of town, if you'll on the western side of town. Of all the booths where every single person in suburban Adelaide voted, guess how many of them were won by Theberal Party. Zero point. No, there's one. What there's one, there's one booth booths, booths. I'm talking about booths, not electorates.

This is the individual booth soon one booth in Metropolitan.

I was looking at it yesterday. So when we talk about booths, we're talking about things like, you know, the local Masonic hall, the local primary school where the Democracy sausage on a scout old where you got all those excellent Democracy sausages. We're going to talk a bit about the Democracy sousage later. It was a real hit. Although a couple of people said a bit too spicy for my taste. Fair enough, you know, people can judge their sausages accordingly. But no, it was. It was a big hit. So all the booths in South Australia, I'll tell you the ones that that didn't vote liberal. You mentioned one, Burnside didn't vote liberal. Somerton Park didn't vote liberal. Glenelg North didn't vote liberal. St. Peter's didn't vote liberal. These are all Kensington Gardens didn't vote liberal.

The meeting house price in all these places would be over two million bucks.

Probably. Tranmere didn't vote liberal. Never Be didn't vote liberal. Sky didn't vote liberal. There wasn't a single booth in stir that voted liberal. There wasn't a single booth in Adelaide which voted Sorry, in Boothby which voted liberal, none of them. Not one. The only booth that voted liberal in suburban Adelaide Unley Park, and the margin was fifty point five one one. Now this is just crazy, and we're going to be getting into the wires and the west. We'd love to hear from you, folks. I mean, there are all sorts of things. We had DUTs here this time three days ago, sitting right next to us, beating his democracy sausage. Maybe it was a bad omen because he said it was cold and it didn't have any well, neither of his campaign. As it turns out, it's so what you like about our sausage. They had rubbish. They had a rubbish policy as their centerpiece, the completely ho hum fuel excise plan that was going to expire in a year anyway, how they ever thought that that was going to be the imagination capturing policy to get them over the line. The other thing, though, like, why the hell didn't they run a negative campaign. Why did they have their own negative campaign against Albo. It's not like Abbe hasn't given him any material to work with. He give had black and white pictures of Chris Bowen people sort of shaking their heads as they look at their power bills. But the images that they should have run, they should have reminded voters about the time they hated Albo the most, which was during the voice. The image I would run if I was doing the ads, it would have been pictures of Albou with Alan Joyce in front of that dot covered jet telling everyone to vote yes while everyone was at home going I can't afford the mortgage or electricity. It was the easiest attack ad in the world. Well this does this bloke even care about you?

I think we mentioned it previously in the context of the federal election, probably a year or more ago, about we've just done a series on how many cafes around Adelaide had closed, how many small businesses had closed? Because the advertiser kept running I vividly recollect during that conversation we went how many terrorways are you going to see in the election campaign?

Of business closure? I couldn't afford my power bills pushed to the wall.

Like there were so many instances in a short period. There's another one we might talk to we're trying to talk to today who fits that category.

There was no mention of them. Well they did do they did that ad. That was the one with the little receipt that came up. Can we afford another three? But that was insipid. They needed to really go for the jugular the way Iyby did with that. You know, the Darton Heads were just relentless. But I think whole lot more to it than that. We're going to be talking to some of the key players out of the course of the show, but love to hear from you folks. And yeah, and if you do live in Onley Park, give us a call. The Bastion of Hope for the Liberal Party in South Australia to one booth a after six News headlines.

Neck David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.

He's up and running in a very robust and fraankway I took. There's some victory laps that are being taken. There are some recriminations from listeners, got it all. There is one though, that stands above the others that I think that we should get to.

This is an offer, a genuine heartfelt offer of support. Now Terry. Terry writes, you know how you always start my text with our mate Terry from Henley Beach well as a mate, I just want to check in on you both. I can only imagine how challenging things must be after the Limbs lost Pembo. I truly hope you didn't lose your house. Will I hold you in high regard as a net economics guru. Your insights are invaluable. However, I found your offer to proceed with digging the first nuclear site without a delivered policy to be quite perplexing. Just know I'm here if you need to chatter, if there's anything I can do to help your mate, Terry, Thank you, Terry, congratulations. I think Terry, you should know you were barracking a lot harder than we were. Yeah, that's right, that's very funny. Boy. If you heard the election coverage Saturday night, that would have been evident.

That was That's excellent, Ary, you frontie man. Let's get into the news headlines. A driver has been fined nearly three thousand dollars ufter he was caught speeding yesterday. The seventeen year old driver from Monopara was traveling ninety eight k's in a fifty zone.

He was charged with.

Breaching his provisional license conditions, failing to display peeplates and issued with a six month loss of license.

Not a great start to his driving career.

Yeah there's another driver too who's also lost his license for six months. A twenty year old man from Riverley Park has incurred nine demerit points and a two thousand dollars fine after he was clocked at more one hundred and eighty k's in a one hundred and ten zone. He was pulled over at Bolivar on the North South Motorway late on Saturday night one hundred and eighteen, one hundred and ten and ninety eight.

And to fifty.

Most of the state's firebanned districts have total firebands in post.

Today.

Fourteen of fifteen zones are rated as moderate, high or extreme risk. With Adelade's warm weather continuing for another day ahead of a change tomorrow. It's warm this morning, really hot overnight. It didn't get below nineteen. It's probably just below there now first got up, when I first got up this morning, now it's nineteen point three degrees outside of the moment.

It's unbelievable.

The Mount Lofty Ranges is rated as being as a high risk of fire. Meanwhile, despite the dray weather, the summer fireband season is over for all regions except for one. The fireban will remain for the Mount Lofty Ranges until the fourteenth of May. Researchers are using artificial intelligence combined with genome sequencing technology to better diagnose genetic diseases. The process involves examining proteins found in the human body. A and U Associate Professor Dan Andrews says, the technology catalog's billions of genetic variations.

We can use this as a way to classify whether we think this is one way to cause that disease, or this is another way to cause that disease, and so on.

And I heard this in the news with Matt Pantellos at six o'clock this morning. Donald Trump says he's not considering a run for a third Term's glad he's ruled out what's constitutionally impossible.

But you know what he hasn't ruled out in that interview using military force to seize Greenland. Yeah, he said, well, that could be an option. Imagine that it's invading a country that got no history of military content, actual being managed by Denmark at the moment.

And Denmark remember the EU, Yeah, yeah, and NATO and NATO, NATO, yeah, more and more and more permanently native will technically, then if US, if the US was to invade Greenland's declare war on itself. That's right, that would invoke Article four of NATO, they would have to go to war with themselves. Remarkable nine eight point three degrees outside at in the city at the moment. Today is a day where you're going to need to cover up. You cover up the barbecue and make sure you cover up yourself as well so you will last longer. And what is really hot weather twenty seven today on the fifth of May, nice and sunny. There will be some rain this week though, a mill of rain tomorrow Tuesday top of twenty three, up to three meals on Wednesday top of twenty one. Then it's dry, clear and getting sunny again by the weekend. So Thursday twenty one, Friday twenty three, Saturday twenty four and Sunday will be sunny and twenty five degrees tom rains of the five to blow Breakfast studio huge weekend of sport to have a look at colors, custom design, anyhouse, any style, glider or garage doors, gliderol dot com dot Are you morning to you Renny?

Morning boys? Yeah, I'll call the port game on the weekend, which was a bit of a disaster. We'll get to that in a moment. And then I hosted a function Saturday night. Listen to you boys in the way home from that and any notes? No, it it was good, sounded like you were in well, we had a merry time. I was at the Beast they Can Burgundy Club and they had a few wines there and it sounded like.

I thought were the boys there and I just didn't see them. No, But it was really good. I enjoyed it.

Well.

We were sponsored on the night by Powers Liquor that they got plenty of product recognition mentions on air.

It was, you know, unfiltered.

I loved it.

You boys did a really good job. It was fun doing it, fun doing it. It's a well done breakfast, a bit more of a button down proposition.

So I want to give you boys a winner for so world on Fellas and Lucy and Sammy, I think it must have been the.

Longest two and a half hours of your life. They're watching that port game. It was.

It was horrific that they're definitely our number one loser from the weekend. First ten minutes were good. After that it was a train wreck. They were They were so flat and listless, I think was the word that was used in the call A fair bit.

There was just no energy.

It was a really disappointing performance and that's putting it mildly. They were terrible, absolutely terrible. So I don't know what they do this week, whether it's something at selection, it's a mindset. I mean, they'd been so much better, hadn't they wins become good. But it was whether or not Ken Hinckley makes a statement at the selection table. But I mean, if if they don't change their attitude, they're going to get towered up by the Crows, who were a big winner. And will you call that one? They were really good. They had doubled the scoring shots as Carlton, the midfield seemed to have their pep back and the captain led from the front, didn't he. Jordan Dawson was sensational and I thought Isaac Rankin, you know, brilliant as well the other.

Two on the ground. He did so many things that you doesn't he will and I had We went out for drink after unnecessarily on Saturday night, went down to the x ME and had a couple of reds. But you made the point where we take Rankin for granted, don't.

We Well we were saying, we were saying in the call we sort of looked at the statute when he had how many has he had? And he kicked two goals too, and he said eleven score involvements and no one had. No one at any point in the call said, oh Rankin's having a great game, or we're just taking for granted.

This is what he does. He said a high bar.

Hasn't he completely and so we probably hold him to it, but he's so important when he's in that side, so that look, they'll deserve it. Start favorites, but we know showdowns, you know, can throw up anything. It's twenty eight apiece. Look in the midfield to Rochelle Is, I think underrated.

He looked like Nick Dekos on the weekend running around. That was a good move. I like that.

There was a lot of conjecture, like I was critical last week of dropping Sid Draper. Well, it allowed josh Rice Shelley to play in the midfield, so fair fair play that worked in there.

So yeah, and he looked kicked a couple of goals. He just looks lively, doesn't he Joshua Shelley, So we under the crows there to win his other big I think the biggest loser from the weekend for me from the AFL perspective was Fremantle.

They were dreadful.

That was an awful game on Friday night.

How why was that game ever on Friday night? In what world did the AFL ever think anyone in Australia gave you know what about since Kilda Frio it was it was just who's who's going? Oh yeah it's Friday, thank god? And the free agent kill games.

Well, I dare say Channel seven we're saying neither of those sides are playing Friday night.

And for the rest.

TV jail, Yeah, throwing the slammer the Crows look there for a while, yeah, ross line reverting to type too, wasn't it?

One man kill football crok?

And look they won the game so great result that it was a shocking spectacle. Other winners Adelaide United. They didn't play on the weekend, the men, but they win.

The season goes on because it's.

A bizarre situation. They had to buy. They had to have Sydney f C lose to stay in the top six and they got smashed five to one. So they're going to play in a knockout final this week and they've been they're back after the season that the coaches actually said I'm out, I'm done, and oh sorry, guys, going to come back one more game.

They've one of eleven, they've won, and they've.

Sat the coach and now they've got to come back and play fine against Western United.

I really like Carlvi. I hope they have a miracle Cinderella run.

I don't know the montage of all the swearing with er. He's just he leaves is a good way, oller boy, that's for sure. Other losers, you're not. The Thunderbirds lost, Adelaine United's unfortunately lost, and Oscar Piastri could be a winner. He's leading the Miami Grandrix. So I'll keep you updated throughout the morning.

Yes, looking forward to that. Good on your ready, go on your boys.

David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double a breakfast.

Twenty four minutes to seven.

There are still sixteen seats that are too close to call in the federal election. So that number eighty six eats that Labour currently hold the best return since Bob Hawk in the eighties, that will potentially will at win.

In fact, we'll get larger.

We'll have more detail on that over the course of the morning when new data comes in and we're going to get right into the fallout. Looking forward to Simon Birmingham coming on after seven o'clock today, this is a Burmo kind of day. Back when he was in the Senate, he would have been rolled out on every TV station, in every radio program today, just to throw the fire blanket on top of this.

Well, he's dispersed people there's nothing to see here, has nothing to see here. Well, there's plenty to see here. And now that he's away from the straight jacket of politics proper, he might be a little bit more EXPERI he's not someone who's praying to overstay, no, but I think it will be a bit more of a beady eyed reality check. He put an interesting post up on LinkedIn yesterday. I'm sure he'll refer to when we have him on the program after seven.

There's a phrase that gets around people know this has been behind the scenes stuff David in local television news right around the countryt the moment, I can say that quite comfortably. It certainly happens on the set that's seven here in Adelaide, and it generally refers to when I do something incredibly stupid or embarrassing on the camera, someone will inevitably say, well, that's going to end up on the Cheap Seats, and I think that is the true for newsrooms right around the country. The Cheap Seats is back for another season. Host Mel Breaks. While they started last week on ten and ten plus, joins us now on five Double a Breakfast, Mel, Good morning to you.

Ah, just remember we always watch it. We are like big brother. We will see everything. And we also have even like little spies. You know, We've got people in every little group that sometimes seem does a little this is and you think that your friend going, oh, I'm sure it win on the Cheap Seats, and then my DM's going, hey, look at what the citiot said.

I like that.

So the person who's saying to me that's gonna end up with the cheap seats is probably the person who's sending it to a rat.

I would say, you've got some rats a moothst every every.

Newsake, so like Media Watch, only with an audience.

Yeah, well, yes, a little of that.

I don't know.

Look, I'm not I'm not the cast versions on Media Watch. Now, I sound like a puls.

Actually, the guy who hosts looking better than you guy. He's really good. He's a really good blake. Hey a you mel I like this. I like this quite from you. Ahead of the return of the Cheap Seats. I haven't watched the news since we finished in November, so I can't wait to see what President Biden's up to in the White House. That's what I like about your show. You got you guys are on top of things.

Yeah, absolutely, But yeah, when we're off off air, we consume enough news that the average person would consume in their entire lifetime throughout the season of the Cheap Season, and so like we watch every news station, we're watching it at like two times three time speed. You know, if you thought Carl Stefanovick was a bit intense as usual, you know, and then just to see him at two times speed, it's just it's just a lot. So, you know, we are ingesting so much that when we're off air, we literally have to just turn the news off.

And just the world tioin.

Nothing's happening.

Do you think the world's becoming harder to satirize? Because sometimes it's like truth is even funnier than comedy. Sometimes, I mean, we're just talking before overnight, Donald Trump said he's not ruling out using military force to take control of Greenland. You know, there's a lot of things happening right now where you think, what do you even need to make a joke about that?

It's hard. We do have that sometimes when we're because Timini, when we write the show together on a Monday, we like picture show to like a picture clip to each other, and sometimes we go, is that too funny? Like it's like it's too funny that it doesn't even seem real. It seems like we've done something to it. And sometimes that can kill a clip because sometimes we're like edit and clips and things like that, and that's the joke, but we don't want a real clip people to think that we've done something to it, and so sometimes that will end up making it a clip hit the cutting room floor because the audience think, oh, they've done something there. We're like, no, no, no, that's exactly how we're out.

Yeah, So do you and Tim you is it just the two of you that do all the writing or have you got a team of people at help out?

So Tim and I will write this script for the show and find a bunch of clips. We also have a few researchers that submit some clips for us, and again yes, like our little moles that that we'll get a DM from someone who goes, oh my gosh, I was watching ABC this morning and you should look at this. So it's good, you know, we've got people everywhere.

Is the election period rich for content with regard to presenters, reporters and people making making a fall of themselves.

Absolutely, it's it's so rich. It's especially it's just a live coverage. I think that anything that needs like seven hours of live TV coverage is a blessing for us. And like we're just you know, having to be on TV for that long. We've to do one hour and a week and we're like exhausted by the end of it. So to have people that have to stand by a screen and the screen's not working and then they're out saying, you know, who's Kevin Onions on these sausages and being a serious political commentary, that's that's our bread and butter. Not to make a pime of there as well.

Well, I'm going to save you a lot. I't watch much television, but we always have your show and we love our family and awesome. I find it very very funny being in the news business ourselves, and the fact that you take things with a degree of levity and good natured cynicism is what makes it true. That and that in the chemistry that you and Tim have got, you guys work really well together. It's very very good viewing.

Oh it's all fake. We don't really get along at all, but camera turns on. We were able to sort of put on those cheesy friends and you know, late week we don't hate each other's guts.

Good on your mel Bracewell, the host of the Cheap Seats returning on Channel ten and ten plus as of last week. Thanks for that mail.

There's some funny election related to humor coming through on the text line at the moment. Rob Leeman is the master of this, this construction of gag, and he hasn't he hasn't failed on this occasion. He says, what's left for Dutch to do? Write a book of things maybe that he should have done or as yet to do. He could call it his ought to biography. Thank you, Rob and Terry sent through what was the funniest tweet after the Electional electured night that classy of Anthony Alben easy not to have enforced the fall on which I think you can do.

After getting the little out for food when they're chasing four hundred and nineteen. I have resident stats man Ben Jordan says on records on the weekend. As of yesterday it was the second drier start on record, with only nineteen twenty three dryer, but today twenty twenty five takes the record being the driest year to May, the flow with just twenty percent of the average for the first four months and five days. Getting a lot of messages like this one. This is from Kath and Allen down at Gaula East. Dave and Will just wanted to say a big thank you for your efforts with the Democracy sausages. We really enjoyed them. The Gaula Gap SA Greyhounds fundraiser group were very appreciative and finally many thanks to the butcher who made them. A great effort from Kath and Allen. Mandra great pictures. What are the greyhounds featuring in the picture as well? Yeah? How good are those dogs? Love those great They're great dogs, aren't they. It's good that adoption program. Yeah, but very good feedback about the snack. Do you know what we start?

I got the first very probably about eight am on Saturday morning. There was clearly people scrambling, as you do, who went organized because not everyone's super organized, and went online to go where can I vote?

Where do I vote?

The AAC website does a lot of things. It has to be a lot of things to a lot of people, not necessarily always the most easily navigable website going around. A lot of people ended up using the where is the Democracy Sausage page that we put up on our social media as a bit of a well where can I go to vote?

At follows number.

It turned out being sort of a de facto where to go to vote guide for people in Adelaide. I've got so many people that sent me it going thank god, you guys put this up. I had no idea where I could go to vote.

Made of mine voted at Norwood Primary and sent me the photo of the wonderful homemade thank you sign that the volunteers put up there that if it was the kids or the parents who did it, but there was a big thing saying thanks five double A for the democracy sausages. But no, we don't have a total figure as to how much money was raised for all these different charitable and sporting and school groups. But it was a lot because it was sausages. All right, let's check traffic when we return.

We'll get into police and the weather bureaus take on how much rain we might get this week in what we now know is our dry start to.

A year ever remarkable.

All right, traffic experienced the smooth, rich flavor of macafe today, expertly crafted by a train barista, just the way you like it. Twelve minutes to seven. Let's talk about the weather. Mark Anilac on Judy at the Weather Bureau this morning. Mark, good morning to you.

Good morning, So warm.

Start this morning and then maybe some rain this week.

I'll be holding your breast for the rain.

There.

It looks pretty dry this week. Really, there is a slight risk maybe overnight well Tuesday and Wednesday, but shower activity we mostly confine to the southern coast and it will be sort of very light. I would think, just a couple of millimeters here and there. But as you say, a warm start to the day today. Currently sitting on nineteen degrees in the city and heading for a sunny top of twenty seven degrees. There is a fresh northerly wind today and that is producing and fire dangers the lowest southeast, but certainly high or elevated fire dangers through the Mount Lofty Ranges in particular. But yeah, warm day and pretty fresh northerly winds as well. Temperature will drop a little bit through Tomorrow and Wednesday, with the temperatures of twenty three tomorrow and twenty one on Wednesday, and that's basically just a wind change that may push a couple of light showers onto our coasts, but really it won't last long. We're back into dry conditions and temperatures starting to warm for the weekend Friday twenty three and Sunday twenty four. On Saturday twenty five.

On Sunday, it really is still very very warm, isn't it May? And we're going to there's going to be twenty five and sunny next weekend. Crazy.

Yeah, It's not unusual to have temperatures in the mid to high twenties in May, certainly in the couple of the first couple of weeks in May. But yeah, certainly up at the higher end of temperatures for this time of year.

Yeah, good on you. Mark Annaly, ma're from the weather all right, I's.

Sad to say, Paulson, you Constable Holy Frisbees on the line, Holly, there was a fatality roads.

On the weekend.

Just after five o'clock last night, police received a report of a serious crash involving a hold in sedan on a Chunger Road. Major crash investigators attended the scene to investigate the cause of the crash. The driver, a twenty two year old man from Ankle Park and passenger, a twenty one year old man from Prospect, suffered critical injuries and sadly died at the scene. Road closures were in place but have since reopened. The driver in passengers deaths are the twenty sixth and twenty seventh lives lost in South Australian roads so far this year.

Terribly shared news Holly. Also Sopoula investigating a suspicious house fire at Devren Park earlier today.

Yeah, that's correct. Just after three point thirty this morning, police and fire crews were called to Peachey Road after reports of the house fire. On arrival, they found the house fully ablaze. MFS quickly extinguished the fire, but not before significant damage to the house was caused. Occupants of the house who were home at the time were evacuated but didn't receive any injuries, and fire cause investigators are current only at the scene investigating. Peachey Road is currently closed for northbound traffic between Warmer Road and Swallow Cliffs Road and members of the public are advised to use Eastern Road or Heightsbury Road to avoid this incident.

Thank you for that holy scene. It comes to all Holly Frisbee from Sakepole. People might recall, they might be you must make a better close your eyes and picture it. You've seen probably enough images on news services recently of these massive concerts they have at Copa Kavana Beach in Rio de Juniro in Brazil, where literally they count the crowd number with millions.

Yep. The biggest crowd and Australian band has ever played to in history was Silverchair. They played rock in Rio in two thousand and one and I think from memory there were it's always about two million people who go.

Well, there was two million on the weekend. But one thing that was a feature this weekend that hasn't been previously was the threat of a terror plot. What sounds like a terror plot targeting people at this concert. Rob Scott's covering it for Channel seven in the US. Rob, what have we learned about what people were planning to do with this Lady Gaga concert in Brazil?

Yeah?

Sure, we just for we get to that Lady Gaga herself. Now, there were two and a half million people there according to her latest tweets, So that is the largest crowd ever in history for a female artist. Previous record was held by Madonna when she played Their last year at one point six million, So this is like almost a million more So a huge crowd, a free event on Coca Cobana Beach. Brazilian authorities say that they've thwarted a plan arresting two people part of an online hate group that were basically to lure teenagers into these networks promoting hate speech and encouraging violent behavior. They say that what this group was trying to do was encourage these young people, fans of Lady Gaga to go to that concert where you know, security is a night meeting. You can imagine it's an open air event. Two and a half million people there. How are you going to search everyone? You just can't. So they were encouraging them to take molotov cocktail's home made explosive device there and detonate them basically synchronized or coordinated blasts in that concert to cause maximum damage. And you can imagine if they'd been blast in a crowd that big, the crush that would have ensued, the panic, that would have made this absolutely horrendous. And apparently they were doing this or to gain some sort of notoriety on social media and particularly targeting the LGBQTI plus community, which we know that a lot of Lady Gaga's fans are. So police arresting these suspects in the hours leading up to this attack planned attack, thwarting what would have been an absolutely horrendous incident. But interestingly, Lady Gaga and her team say they knew nothing about this security threat until they woke up this morning and started reading these reports. They said that they had been in constant contact with the Brazilian authorities and they didn't tell them anything, and according to police, they kept it quiet because they thought they had it all in hand arresting these people or before the concert, and they didn't want to cause mass panic or the spread of misinformation, so they kept it pretty close to their chest, only revealing it after the concert had gone ahead, after they'd the rest of these people.

But you can.

Imagine if this hadn't gone the way that they'd hoped, we would be having a very different discussion today.

This organization, it sounds like the most bizarre grouping, Rob, what I read about them online. They're called the Little Monsters, aren't they.

Yeah, well, apparently this group has many splinters, so there's a larger collection of these hate groups online, and this one coalesced around Lady Gaga. We know that her fans are called little Monsters, so they were apparently trying to tap into that fans young people, you know, kind of calm them into believing, oh, we're also fans here. But you know, we need to target some of these people that don't well, that they hate, that they don't like. So, you know, a bizarre, twisted sort of modus operendi there, which could have had catastrophic results.

Absolutely, Rob Scott there for Channel seven in the US Bureau. Thanks for that report, mate, Two zero point five million people. To put that in its context, that's the equivalent of fifty capacity crowds at the Adelaide Oval fifty You think about how hard it is getting home from the footy when there's fifty three thousand people at the Adelaide Oval or forty forty five thousand people, So fifty if you got the Adelaide Oval and multiplied at fifty times, I mean the geography of that fifty Adelaide ovals. Would fifty Adelaide ovals fit in the CBD Probably not. No, I wouldn't have thought you mentioned if Adelaide was just all the amount of people inside or at that beach Cope Combana Beach. Well, it's ridiculous to think. It's if you held a concert in Adelaide.

They said, well who's going and you just said everyone in South Australia's going, plus a few mils about seven hundred thousand more people. Yeah, it's hard to They also like they had It wasn't as though you just roll up on the beach and you're there.

They had security checkpoints. So how many people work at this event?

But the whole reason they've started doing these actually was a bit like gather around. It was to reinvigorate local economy. And you can two and a half million people, you can imagine how much that means for accommodation and the local small business and whatnot. It'd be absolutely mammoth. It's just hard to wrap your head around that many people ever been in the same place at the same time.

Crazy stuff. Apologies to Jay and Croydon. He didn't like the Democracy sausage a lot of people.

You know, he didn't like what happened on election day.

That's the thing about election day. You know you're not always going to get the results you want. Sorry, Jay, we said it was spicy, wasn't meant to taste like one of those Bunnings car park jobs.

Well, when the premiere came on on Saturday night during the election coverage, having eaten the Dave and Will's Democracy sausage that morning, he did say it the most gormet democracy sauces he'd ever eaten in his life, and he's had a few here. But do you think he's just being diplomatic, No, I think he's been genuine.

Well, who knows. I mean, you know, if you can what is it? If you can fake sincerity, you've got it made. He might have just been saying that get a good run on the show. There's a good chat with the premier Saturday night if you missed the election coverage, you can watch it back on YouTube, can you. I'll get my people onto that. I think that should be just strange and what.

Hang on two to seven eight double two three double O double I was a Now you can jump on the text lines before zero eight thirteen ninety five. Coming up next will take you through all the fallout from election day on Saturday. What remains what the state of play here is in South Australia, because you could make the case strongly that South Australia is the most newsworthy state in the election for what it says about the future of the Liberal Party and what we now consider labor strongholds. We're going to get into all that. Simon Birmingham will help with our analysis as well.

That's coming up next.

Peen Berthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double A breakfast, seven after seven.

Good morning to you.

Welcome to the program for the first time on this Monday morning, the fifth of May. We've got a whole slew of election fallout to pick through for you in just a moment. We're going to do so with the aid of Simon Birmingham is going to join us on the program. Fascinated to to see what the former moderate leader of the Liberals here in South Australia makes the for number one on the Senate ticket Trade Minister, Trade Minister, senior in the Government, senior in the Senate, Leader in the Senate, Leader in the Senate. Looking forward to his analysis that's coming up very very shortly. Also, Stacy Lee has flipped some details. She's bawled down the loss of three points. We'll get her thoughts on that after seven thirty today. First though, let's start the news wrap with Hayden Nelson from seven News here in Adelaide. Who's at Daverren Park this morning? Hayden, there's been a house fire.

Yeah, morning guys. We're here on PG Road, Davern Park, where just about four o'clock this morning firefighters arrived here to see these huge flames erupting from this home into the sky. They look like a bonfire here there are easily about ten meters into the sky. There were fears for about three or four neighboring properties and at the time firefighters said this was a third alarm fire. This has quite a large fire and they'd feared that it had gone into three or four backyards because of the sheer's size of what they saw when they arrived here. This is a hoarder's house by all reports, so the backyard is filled with jumps. They say they faced a really heavy fuel load as they were tackling the flames. A gum tree has come down, some power lines have come down, the roof has collapsed, the shed is gone. There are some solar panels that the damage too. But incredibly luckily, at the time a resident was awake. This was four o'clock in the morning, so he did spot the fire. He did alert his wife and daughter, two people who were staying there. They managed to make it out of the house and their neighbors as well started hearing the sirens getting out with their pets as well. So luckily that no one's been in.

Five fighters have got into this.

House which has been destroyed. There are three cats inside there. They've managed to rescue two. There are few years for a third there at the moment.

Poor thing.

Yeah, aid and thank you for that. Hayden Nelson for seven News. So what we know Monday morning from the election result on Saturday, with counting ongoing, there are sixteen seats that are currently undecided in the one hundred and fifty one seat Lower House. Federally, seventy six is what you require a form majority. I mention all that because I think we've lost sight of the fact this time a week ago, everyone suggested majority government was a long shot. There was a sense that the Labour Party in Anthony Albaniezi might be returned. But the idea you get to seventy six and be out to governing your own right without the assistance of an independent or the Greens or whoever we thought was a long shot.

Well talking out of school. But when we had Peter Dutton here on Friday, when he tasted the Democracy sausage during the ad break afterwards, he looked quite becalmed, and he said to us, I think some of the posters are going to have a pretty rough day on Monday. Well, if they are, it's because they massively undercooked the result, not because there was some surprise Liberal victory. There was no surge anywhere. Well there was a surge. There was a surge away from them. He was right, just not in the way he thought he was going to be right. Right now, remembering that number seventy six is what was required to form majority government if they stopped the county now and said we're not going to bother with the last sixteen seats. Labour's already on eighty five. It's a punishing majority, the Coalition on thirty nine. The Greens wouldn't have any at the moment, or beat Adam Bant might retain a seat in Melbourne, but they're a minor story, but a storing. Nonetheless, the Greens facing Lower House wipeout ten independence that's the way to look right now. But as I say, sixteen seats undecided, Labour leads nine of the sixteen remaining, so that had given them ninety four seats. Now you have to go back to Bob Hawk in the eighties for the last time they got to eighty six. So we're nineteen eighty seven election and that was the election when Sir Joe decided that he was going to run. Remember all the Joe for PM sticking over p you got in the Sunday Mail and poor old how was stuck here John Elliott shooting his mouth off in Melbourne about what a disastrous leader he was. It was a total shambles.

South Australia is his biggest stories anywhere. The swing to Labour here in SA was bigger than any other state. There is now no such thing as a Liberal metropolitan seat in South Australia. There are two Liberal seats inessa They are Barker and Gray.

There's almost no such thing as a Liberal booth in suburban Adelaide. The only Liberal booth remaining is only Park. Every other booth, every other booth Saint Peter's Sumrton Park, Kensington Gardens, Burnside, Burnside voted for the Australian Labour Party.

So the recriminations have come and the analysis now is where to for the Liberal National Coalition. He's former leader and Prime Minister Tony Aba.

If the Coalition can create a clear contest and a strong contrast over the next term, we can certainly be competitive and give Australia the best possible government.

Keith willeheand the outgoing member for made the point that we just made with regard to the battle that the Liberal Party now faces in metropolitan areas.

It was clear that our party has an issue in urban Australia, which is where most people live. Most people live in cities, so we need to turn our mind to that. Like we have never done before. We need to really dig deep and think about who we are and who we fight for and who makes up Australia, and that there are professional people, professional women, younger people who were worried that they'll ever owned their own home again. We also have multicultural Australians and people who don't have a memory of the Howard Costello era, and so we need to acknowledge the cities that we live in like the cities that we used to live in or think that we live in.

Simon Birmingham was for a long time South Australia's most senior liberally recently departed politics, but joins us on five to blaw Breakfast this morning to give us a bit of an insight his thinking about where to next for his former party. Simon Birmingham, good morning to you and great to chat.

Hello guys, it's good to be back.

So get you in off the back of such a bleak build up there, Burmo. But it's hard to think of a time in the modern era when the Libs have been at such a low air, isn't it.

Well, there is no such time, but is comparable in terms of the number of seats and the share of the vote. It's the lowest vote ever in the party's history and that should be something that sends a real alarm signal loud. And if there's one message for my former colleagues that I give them as they look for how they ensure Australia has a viable choice and a viable alternative party in government in the future. It's not just to look at what went wrong in this campaign. Sure, there's plenty that went wrong in this campaign in terms of parts of the policies, parts of the ad campaign, clearly the polling and the research. Lots of things to be assessed there. But there are also bigger structural issues at play. You don't end up on your worst vote ever off the back of what was previously a worst vote out without their beings some bigger, more structural and endemic issues that require a comprehensive look at how the party defines its liberal ideology, how it actually operates and engages with the community in an era where people aren't motivated to join mass membership organizations anymore. Therefore, how it selects its candidates to ensure they're in touch with the community, as well as that work around policy and communications in a very different modern era of undertaking those sorts of coals.

The thing I find weirdest about the result or the campaign, not so much the result, but the way it all just fell apart for the Libs? Is it? Economic management has always been the Liberal parties? One would and you guys were running against the government that was hugely vulnerable on economic issues, be it power bills, be it inflation. Even though inflation has come down, interest rates, there were so many entry points for a sort of Howard Costello type attack on Labour's economic manager. Has the party become too obsessed in your view, with culturewards stuff? You know, the sort of stuff a lot of people. You know, we get angry text from people about welcome to country or trans stuff. But those things, as fired up as they might make some people, it doesn't. The result shows that obsessing about that sort of thing is not the basis for government, is it.

Well, you shouldn't listen to the loudest people. You should listen to the majority of people about what their concerns are. And indeed, so most people, it's bread and butter concerns. Indeed, it is how to buy the bread and butter at the supermarket when inflation is high, and when they're feeling those cost of living pressures, it's how their kids or grandkids all themselves are actually going to afford a house and get into that. So those bigger issues that are core to everybody, whatever your gender, whatever your racial background, whatever your sexuality. Now those core issues which are common in terms of the treads that people have as concerns in their life, they're the ones that obviously are a where you can and should be able to unite a party. And yes, where the success of the Liberal Party in the past certainly lay. And that's part of what needs to be looked at as to how you make sure that people think you are focused, indeed fixated on the things that matter most to them, not on anything that's off on the periphery.

Predictably, in the aftermath, I've already heard from members of the right of the party. I think the party was indistinguishable from Labor and swung too far to the left. People and the moderates and the party are suggesting that they suffered from the Trump factor, that they went too far to the right. Does the party need to sort of have an ideological reset with regard to where it pitched itself and did you see them go one way too far one way or the other during this campaign.

Well, well, I.

Think a couple of things there. Personally, we partly disaddress that a long debate about two left to right rather than a real focus on what matters to the majority, it would be counterproductive. You've got to get back to those what really matters to majority type questions. But I think there is a case for the party to make sure that what a liberal party stands for in the modern age is crystal clear to all. Now, the successful formula that how it had, and indeed Menzies had it was one of ensuring it could incompass a spectrum of liberal ideology and conservative ideology. Australian voters aren't ideologues, though, so it's for the party to make sure that internally it is clear about how it manages that spectrum, because the diversity of views in a political party can be a good thing as long as the outcome is one of unity, and as long as the outcome is one that actually reflects the breadth of opinion in the community as well. And that's where the party's really got to make sure it does a run off in a direction where it is seen as being trumpy and too far to the right or the like that instead is centered solely squarely on those issues that aren't judging people, aren't applying attitudes that people find only relevant to small numbers, but is instead back to the core economic threads and national security threads that are really the bulk of Australians lining up at polling boots on Saturday cared about and clearly don't see the party doing enough of.

But just finally, one of the bleakest returns for the Liberal Party these days is women under the age of sixty. The party has been abandoned, particularly by middle class women. You look at all the till seats which overwhelmingly have held on They were all once held by moderate Liberals, now very entrenched in the hands of those middle class women in affluent parts of Australia. Your LinkedIn post yesterday, where you've made some thoughts about the result. One thing you've advocated is, even though at jars with the sort of meritocracy arguments that underpin liberal philosophy, you've said, maybe the party needs to look at quotas so that it can actually address the gender gap and start looking a little bit more modern and relevant than those many thousands, hundreds of thousands of women have dropped you like a hot potato.

You didn't have to be a political scientist standing on a polling booth to work out the Liberal parties problem in not getting enough votes is led by women. It's also led by professionals and others that clearly we have lost over a period of time. And that's what I say. These are biggert structural issues and quotas is one thing. It's not going to be a silver bullet that solves any issues. But if you think about how a leader, a new leader, whoever that may be, can go out there and be on the offensive, not defensive when it as to whether the party is inclusive and representative of women in modern Australia. Well, having a policy in place, having a rule in the party where that leader can say, you know what, I've made the changes that guarantee half of my team and candidate will be women because I want to lead a party that reflects the composition of modern Australia and that puts that leader in a much stronger position and a guarantees you're fixing what is clearly a challenging issue for the party because nothing else to date has successfully turned to dial on getting that representation mixed right.

Been great to catch up. It's been a while. We appreciate you making the time to come on as a bit of a blast from the past for Alistairs. We always enjoyed our chats with you back when you were running the country. Simon Birmingham, former Liverpool Centator for South Australia. With the election wash up, who knows, maybe the Libs will have a woman leader in a week's time. Susan Lazy in.

The mix, Susan Lane the mix. There's been five names the Age reporting this morning. There are three that are actively doing the numbers at the moment. Angus Taylor, the hopeless the treasurers cannot be Angus Taylor, deputy to Susan Lay and Dan teen Andrew Hasty has been kind of a trendy pick and I mentioned him on the night as the guy I thought would be a good pick. It doesn't sound like he's he's keeping his power to dry at the moment anyway, So Dan Tee and Susan Lay or Angus Taylor, you're right. Augus Hayley, surely take it.

Bul Taylor. I mean, do you sort any liberal at the moment about why things went so wrong. One of the first things they say is we didn't do any economic work, didn't we didn't lay a glove on. Well, he was the guy in charge of that.

Yeah, twenty two minutes after seven, all will be revealed a bit. We haven't haven't said a party room meeting yet. A few people have texted in one hundred and fifty seats in the Lower House. Now they write there was a redistribution. Still seventy six obviously gets your majority, but one hundred and fifty, which, as someone said, it's peculiar. We get fewer seats with a grub population. But that's sort of the vagaries of how the whole thing happens. But thank you to the people that have texted in. On zero four zero eight thirty ninety five. Let's check trafviick and come back with more, including Rowie's take on the weekend of Sport in just a moment, experienced the smooth, rich flavor of mcafe today, expertly crafted by a trade barista, just the way you like it.

David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a Breakfast.

Twenty six minutes after seven before we get to Stephen Robet a breaking sport news around the world. If you don't want to listen to, if you don't want to know what happens in the Grand Prix, hit the dial right now, because Oscar Piastre has one yet again the Miami Grand Prix.

He has won another race.

He is putting together a commanding charge to be the driver's champion at the end of the year. Oscar Piastre in a one two with I believe it was a one two with his teammate Lando Norris. Yes, it was the to McLaren's one two. Great result for Oscar, great result for the Crows. On the weekend, rowe be up at about.

I reckon Steve right on five double A breakfast.

Things must be awfully kinds of sports shows tonight, RAWI when you go in Showdown week you're up and about Timmy g flat as your pushbridgeket Good morning do you?

Oh?

Pema will start with that. That is an enormous win, isn't it that you just gave us? Then that kid is a star. Sucked in Max. You got someone that can bloody whizz around you. That is great hate Labor winning wasn't the only land slide win, was it? Port getting thumped by ninety points in Ballarat wasn't good. It's on the back of that ninety one point flogging by the Maggie's on round one. They started well was the only positive. Lost another last quarter, this time by five goals. You're right, they've got work to do before Showdown fifty seven. It's their home game and their fans will want a response. And Jimmy wasn't happy. I think he went nonverbal again.

Oh no, not not the silent treatment.

It's not good when Jimmy go nonverbal. So Sro knows no accelerant tonight.

Hey.

The Crows, on the other hand, Superb, you caught it with me will set up by the skipper Jordan Dawson. His first quarter was just elite raking have look at his number numbers. Outstanding Warrell, superb, Roley O'Brien our boy destroyed the conning his best rout craft in his career. I'm going to say, look forward to speaking to him on Thursday. They all played well. Flag went up when they do, they're a bloody good team. The Crows made can't look second rate. Their key is to do it consistently, quarter by quarter and game by game.

So they had a.

Great game vers GWS terrible versus Freemantle, fantastic versus Carlton? What are we going to get? Satday nine?

Don't you think it was funny last week? Roll you were? You were guilty of this too? Not guilty? You are you anything to be a shamed of? But don't you reckon every Crows fan before Saturday went well? I got a bad feeling about this one, yes, or I did.

I did because my confidence was shot. I've scunned my knees. I've lifted the lid, I've put it back on, I've put it on simmer, I've turned it to ten.

Here.

There is no guess, no electricity, nothing. I got into that game thinking, wow, one or two ways smoke them? Will we get smoked?

And how good was it?

Oh?

And that's the confidence that US fans don't have quite yet. Now it'll grow as the year goes on. Their best is good enough. There is no question about that. Their Their best is good enough. So I hope Timmy has recovered. If he hasn't, I'm going to be super super professional. I'm going to put any accelerant on his flames. So I'm going to make any bold statements. I'm not going to lift lids.

I'm going to be measured.

Oh mate, I cannot wait.

For four or five see. Oh gee.

There are good days to come to work and there are bad days to come work, and poor old Timmage has got a bad day to come to work. That said, there's no better shot at redemption than the showdown. No, and all bets are off. Reform counts for nothing. Right On seven thirty five Double A Used time, Stacy Lee joins us in the studio neck.

David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double A Breakfast.

Twenty two minutes to wait.

Looking forward to this because our ex guest has been predicting the kind of debarker we saw on the weekend for quite a while.

On five Double A Breakfast, this is Stacey Lee.

Good morning to hear Stacy.

Good morning guys.

How are you?

We're were well? I loved coming on your show Friday afternoon?

Fun, wasn't it?

Now? Just to look on the text line, Ian cook the recipe He cooked the Democracy sausage Yoki a la sacica, The Italian style sausage Yoki creamy creamy sausage and spinach and pea pasta source and it looks fantastic.

Well done, Ian.

That was good.

How did you enjoy yours?

Well?

I was really stressed out doing that. And I think one thing we learned from that segment is that Chris Jarmer's position is safe. And remember it.

Do you remember a couple of months ago I did. I had to do the cooking and I couldn't get the fry panwith Chris. We miss you.

Yeah, come back, Chris. Absolutely Liberal Party.

Oh, it doesn't seem like it.

It does not seem like the debarcle.

Not only have they lost this election, and you know, there's all the stats. The worst result the party has ever had its history is the biggest swing to labor, the biggest swing to a first time sitting. All of that, you'll hear all about it, and you have heard all about that. But this basically clears the way for another term of federal labor as well. And I've boiled it down to three things. Lucky, my lucky husband. On the weekend we were on our baby moon in the Barossa Valley and we were both sitting there in the hotel after a nice long lunch at Saint Hugo, and we put a movie on. I said, oh, put we can put a movie on before the before the proper count starts. And then I'm I'm watching coverage on my phone and he was watching the footy on his phone and okay, can I just put it on the TV?

Yeah, go for it.

Anyway, started watching started watching the election coverage, and I thought, I'm looking at my watch, thinking, hold on, David Will aren't even on air yet, and it's.

We came in. That was done. We came in at nine o'clock, nine o'clock. We knew by quarter to eight that that was goingsy his own seat.

It's I don't know how the Liberal Party are waking up this morning. It's a terrible result. And I've boiled it down to three things. One culture wars and division. Two they ignored women and young people, and three they totally ignored. The twenty twenty two review of the Liberal Party's federal election loss. Number one, culture wars and division. I mean, is anybody voting on which flag the prospective prime minister is going to stand in front of? They spent so much time talking about welcome to Countries, and that had a bit of support in the community from a very loud minority of people. However, it doesn't equate to votes in a cost of living crisis when the economy is going terribly, when people are being taxed too much and their wages aren't keeping up. I think culture wars are one of those We took all the time about those nice to have issues, you know, when we talk about renewable energy and it's nice to be able to talk about climate change when the economy is in a good position. Right now, the economy is not in a great position, and it's not a nice to have fight in the lead up to an election.

I don't know, I said a little bit differently. I reckon a hell of a lot of our listeners have had enough of welcome to country and I think that the debate last week after ANZAC Day and the fact that Penny Wong revived it, under different circumstances, they could have been vote winners for Dutton. The problem that they had was that it almost sounded like that was the only sort of weapon in their arsenal, because there was no big economic message, which should be the bedrock of the Liberal Party. They didn't have anything solid other than this frivolous cheap petrol for a year thing, so then they it made them sound desperate, though they kept trying to whip up that other stuff.

Well, I don't know if there are many people out there who are under the age of forty five who want to talk about culture wars. And this is where my second point comes in. They ignored young people and women. Young people were now the biggest voting cohort in this election. When it comes to gen Z and millennials, I don't know anyone my age who wants to talk about welcome to countries or flags. They want to talk about housing. They do want to talk about tax reform. How about someone being brave enough to address bracket creep, to address that properly so wages can actually keep up with inflation.

To sit in there. The two big killers too with the young vote for the Libs were the hex reduction instead Albo promise made massively popular because there has those bills now, I just off the charts and free take it like that matter the young people thinking about getting a job, getting a trade or getting a UNI job, both of those things are just massive, it's life altering.

Well, their attempt to sort of get into that space was with migration to save housing, but that was pretty lookewarm and tepp at Their policy was margin, which goes to I think everything they ultimately promised was sort of a marginally different to what the government was ultimately doing.

There was they didn't stake there.

They didn't hit their stake in the ground on absolutely anything, just quickly on the on the economic manager's part. And I said this on Saturday night during our coverage, this felt like a campaign entirely rested on the laurels that the Coalition are better managers and our reputation will carry us through. And Keith Wallahan made a great point that we played at seven o five. There's a generation of voters who weren't alive or were too young to remember or care about John Howard, right.

So you can't.

I think they thought, well, it's a cost of living crisis. Everyone always votes Coalition when they when they want, you know, budget repair.

Well they don't now don't.

Now, well, they certainly don't do it in the absence of any policy that suggests, well, this is how we see it, this is how we see racket creep. This is how we see the deficit. Reputation alone isn't carrying you anymore. You've got to do significantly more than what we saw in the last in this campaign, yep.

And to address that cohort, they've lost professional women because yes, we've spoken about work from home. We don't need to go over work from home. But there were also policies that they had which were going to disadvantage many professional working women. They were going to remove the right to disconnect, who in twenty twenty five is saying, actually, I'd like to be connected to work every evening and every morning, thank you, and on the weekends.

You can have it both ways. I mean, you can't say I want to work from home whenever I'm I'm going to do the hours that suit me, and then if your boss accidentally sends you an email at five past five, go off to the Fair Work Commission saying you've never been under so much stress.

I think you're taking it to the extreme.

They've come.

I mean, no one's saying I want to work from home whenever I want. People are saying I've got this agreement with my workplace to work from home on x y z and I would just like that to be honored. And do you really do you know any professional working women who wouldn't reply to a five zho five email? No exact but I meant the extra the law.

But the law has been changed so that people can actually take action against their boss. That's what the lord says, Well, why would it be there if that's not the protection that they're because they're avoiding.

The nine pm phone call.

The thing is the point you make those stace is a valid one. The Libs said just enough and did just enough of all these sorts of things, and the work from home black backflip is the classic example to scare the living you know what out of working women in Australia to the point where they just didn't trust that in at all. Yep.

And the other one for young people was housing, you said, tafe and hex housing. The Liberals policy on housing was we'll give you money from your super So we're making young people choose between a stable retirement or stable housing and no generation before them has had to do that. Talk to any twenty year old, they laugh when you talk about getting a house. Are you saving for a house? I'm trying good luck not for another time three exactly. And then my third point where I think it all went wrong was not listening to the twenty twenty two review of the Liberal Party's loss. I read all sixty pages of that on Saturday night, and all forty five recommendations. And can I just say this sounds like.

Quite the date nights? Yeah, really you got the election.

And I'm sitting there laughing my head off and my husband's saying, oh what now, what now? And I said, look at this recommendation four, but seriously, Recommendation four empowering and encouraging women to join and stay in the party. There were four recommendations about encouraging women to stay in the Liberal Party. There were also multiple recommendations about encouraging cold communities and multicultural communit it is so called is culturally and linguistically diverse. There were a number of recommendations encouraging more diversity in the Liberal Party, multicultural community engagement, engaging better with these communities. Did they do this No, absolutely the opposite. Let's talk about anti immigration policies for five weeks. Let's talk about anti China policies. You mentioned Keith Wallahan earlier, a really great rising star of the Liberal Party. He speaks Mandarin, he was in the Defense Force for a number of years. He cannot be the only person who wants to engage with the Chinese community in Australia who's a member of the Liberal Party. But they ignored all of this, and then the other recommendations were, yeah, communicating with people, reconnecting with professionals. I just don't know how they did that. I cannot see many policies that reconnected with professionals.

Park they won that boat fifty, which brings me to what impact this could have for the State Liberals in next year's election.

And my advice for the State Liberals would be, if you are not getting policies out now this week, it's May. We have ten months until the next state election. If you are not focusing on serious policies and starting to announce them now, that it's going to be the Wa Liberal Party all over again. Because when you look at the booths and how it vote, how they voted, you're talking seats like marialta Heysen. Only even the only Park was the only booth reverted Liberal, but still only would be.

So handing out there. I reckon he got them over the line.

And if if James Stevens lost, stir Jack Baddy is at risk of losing Brag as well.

They spent a lot of time internally on the state limbs talking about winning back some of the those independent regional seats or at least bringing them back into the fold or campaigning in there, and this sort of unstated but quite obvious two terms strategy about winning back some heartland and then trying to win government later. I think it's time to scrap that. This has to be a metropolitan focused campaign now. Entirely, every absolute square iota of energy needs to be spent on coming up with some sort of cogent message for people in metropolitan adelaide and professionals, something they can sink their teeth into, because otherwise it's going to be entire it'll be electoral wipeout.

I've read some quotes in the TiSER today from Alex Antiks saying the party needs to move more Trumpian And if you are suggesting the Liberal Party will win more votes moving more to the right, then you are the problem with the Liberal Party. The seats they lost they did not lose to one nation and trumpets of Patriot who got no seats. The seats they lost they lost to labor or the Teals gained more votes. And the Teals are they say, most of them liberal minded women who care about.

Thee a generation go though they are all duly bishop.

They were liberal menace.

I was just to give people some context around that as well. There isn't this great untapped wealth of hard right voters out there, at least they didn't exist in this election. So one nation increased their vote to share one point three percent trumpet to Patriots lost two point three percent on the on the previous returns thanks for the text, clerk, and Labor gained two point two so so more they bled more people to labor than they did one nation.

There just doesn't exist this huge pool of untapped Well, the fact that the Green vote went down and that the Greens have lost seats as well, possibly tantalizingly even including Ann and Ban will be a shame. We had Malley on the show Saturday night when we did the election special, and he basically said, look, this shows the political center is back exactly, and you know you historically in this country elections have been won by Senate left slash center right parties. You know that if you if you're a souper left wing government like Whitlam was, you get turfed. The funny thing is this government on a lot of measures and the Voice was hugely unpopular with well every single electorate. And see how Australia voted against it, against a working class seats like Spence voted against it. I know that most of our listeners thought it was a terrible idea. So this government has actually been quite left wing on a lot of things. The fact that a conservative opposition could not lay a glove and actually went massively backwards against a genuinely left wing government is extraordinary.

It is extraordinary. Less than a year after the Voice vote?

Is it less than a year?

Yeah? Yeah, twenty twenty three. It was a year and a half ago.

It is extraordinary. And yeah, like I said, the people suggesting that the party needs to move more to the right, the people on the right are already voting on the right. They're already voting one nation, trumpets of patriot and those preferences are going to flow to the Liberal Party or voting for the Liberal Party. You don't need to win them, you have them. There's nowhere else for them to go.

Yeah, they need they need to They don't need to be one all the other. They need to coexist and it's going to be the subject of our breaking it up today. Was someone who was there at a time when for the Liberals coexistence was the key to continued success.

Greater in Alisa Stacey ruined date night.

Another date night? What do you do with this Saturday? There's no election anywhere.

Exactly, no reviews to a hot seat. I think, although this might be unfair after a federal election result like that, I think Vincent Tazia has to be in the hot seat today getting They need to have a meeting of the state Liberal team. They need to come up with proper policies because no one wants an Australia, a federal or a state parliament where there is no proper functioning opposition. We need that for good.

Do you think just there's a final meta point on that, there's a good opportunity for Vincent Tarzi because too often you will have federal Liberal figures in South Australia tut tutting the state party going are those morons the state more? They went good enough to make federal politics and look at them stuff it up right.

Well, guess what yeh, guess what got a mirror? Guys?

Yeah, okay, so vins Darzi might be able to This gives you on you to say we're just gonna do it my way now because no one else has ways worked, so big leadership test for him, an opportunity I think where before maybe the shackles were on, So hopefully it'll freem up a little bit. All right, let's check traffic experience the smooth, rich flavor of mcafe today.

Julie calls on part of Feedback Friday on Friday morning and she detailed her nightmare weekend and it involved a port loss and an alb and easy win and we just want to do a welfare check on Julie. Julian blake View, we love you. You're a big part of the program. Great on Feedback Friday. You were superb on Friday, Julie, one of the winners. You're okay, Julie, call us to tell us you're okay.

And we may have something to cheer you up. Yes, Julie. We were saying on Saturday night during our Elections special that of all the people we had spoken to during the campaign, the person we are most concerned about was Julie and blake View. It's a very funny conversation on Friday. She kept trying to check yourself guard. Oh justly, I really don't know. I'm not going to say it again. There's one man ive, here's a bad day tomorrow. Well, none of that happened, and obviously the footage didn't go your way either, July, so we hope you're all right. She might still be hiding under the dinner. But if you have emerged from under the diner, Julie, give us a call. Eate two double three, double o, double o. Bet. Good morning, your mining, how are you? Yeah?

Well, well, hey, congratulations to you. We're give you tickets to Tasting Astralia. Simple as that back. Do you typically go in and check it out?

Yes?

So well I went out on Friday and did a making booking with my girlfriend on Friday, which was awesome.

So thank you.

Good on your bet. You'll have a great time. It's a wonderful event.

It certainly is you. Going to do a couple of texts before we go to the break one here from Glory in all Dinger Beach. How about some discussion on how, where and when the multiple labor promises will be delivered in the cost of them to assaw, Yeah, we're going to find that out in the in the.

No short time. Con has sent us a picture, this picture that Donald Trump has tweeted from his own account of Trump dressed as the Pope.

And Ai Trump Pope. But it wasn't just Trump the posted it. The White House official account retweeted as well.

Con says, can this trump mora sing any? I think a lot of Catholics, regardless of you know, what you think of Trump, A lot of people would just be looking at this going surely that's particularly a week after the poor bloke's funeral.

It is quite quite defensive to a lot of Catholic He's not Catholic.

No, No, I.

Wonder how we bow arms. If a leader around the world did it about some other religion, well, what would happen?

Then?

Heaven forbid. The conclave actually starts this week. It starts in a couple of days time. They'll begin the process and we'll watch the chimney out as long as it needs to. Yeah, has taken two years. The longest devil was two is they need a two thirds majority, which means on that count, I think Albo would have been the Pope based on the results on.

The on the weekends.

Two thirds majority will get you, will get you the job. But it's all happening behind closed doors, and it begins earnest on the seventh of May in Vatican City. Five doble a news time breaking eight in just a Moment.

David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double a breakfast seven.

Minutes after right now.

At various points over the weekend, iron it turns out a lot of people in Adelaide's minds turned to the well being of Julie from blake View, one of our excellent loyal listeners, who, during an inspired turn on feedback Friday Friday morning, detailed what would be her nightmare weekend, and it largely came to fruition Port Adelaide, I mean worse in every way that Julie could have imagined. Yeah, Port loves by ninety points. Peter Dutton doesn't just lose the election, but loses his seat in an absolute landslide. Elsbeth Hussey from seven just text me before going Poor Old Julie and the Crows one three for three. That's right, Julie has had the nightmare weekend, but you're still here, Julie.

Good morning to you.

Good morning boys.

You do have to have salt into the wound.

Yes, you're lucky. I'm still here. Those that bridge and the trucks out in the road. We're looking pretty good there.

The sun came up this morning. Hey, Julie, what did you turn off first? The footy or the election coverage?

Well, actually the footy because I knew, I actually, I actually knew what was going to happen. I think I said to you guys on Friday that down in the uninspiring that hole in Ballarat, which the place that you guys have to play later in the year with five hundred spectators, and you have never won there.

At least we have won.

There before I knew, well, I can tell in the first five minutes, so it took me a quarter to realize that Port Adelaide Earth were going pretty crap. And then I was watching the Port Medpie's game on Port Eagles. They didn't play too badly but still lost, so I thought, well, that's another one down, so that's not looking too good. And then I thought, well, I do have some hopes bepose are playing it and Carlton might have one of their we're good games, and I started with that. Then that was looking pretty grim, so I gave up on that, and by about I reckon half past seven and eight o'clock on Saturday, night I knew I was doing.

Well. Can I ask you, Julie, are you what's what? What's your are you? Are you a seafood person? Are you a wine drinker? Because we want to cheer you up, and I've spoken to Sam at Powell's Liquor.

I don't.

I don't believe it or not. I don't drink. Okay, mind you mind you having said that, But I don't drink, and neither does my husband. We used to, but no, we don't drink.

Now do you like seafood? Are you a seafood I love?

Like I said, I can't swim, but I certainly love seafood.

But yes, I.

Think me I've said saying two out of three ain't bad. Well I didn't even get one, so I don't think I would have even bought a lottery ticket on the weekend.

Well we I can. I can ping market sam tas a text and I reckon we can rustle up a one hundred dollars Samtas seafood tray for you, just to cheer you up a bit after your ordeal over the weekend. Julie been such a good sport. There's such generous people at samtas I'm sure Mark will have no dramas, will get you the four for sixty dollars deal, and you can throw in some King George Whiting or a kilo of prawn's whatever you want on top of that, Julie.

But thank you guys. That's that's really really good on you. But you don't have to do.

That, you know, Jilly, you're a good sport.

I still wonder how the hell about olbow one because not one person that I've spoken to said they were going to vote for him, and I still don't know how he did it.

So a lot of our listeners are saying that too, Julie. But you know, at least you'll be able to have a nice seafood barbecue and put it all behind me. Love.

Our listeners come on and put themselves out there just what I'm cheering for. This is what I love exactly, and then they front up when it doesn't happen, or it does whatever, wind lose or draw, and Dulie's like that. So yeah, coming away.

People are still free to speak their minds. You don't have to like it. You're allowed to say whatever you like for a free country and for that purpose.

Eight double two three double O double oh for all your victory, all lost needs.

Give us a call. Let's start for Breaking eight. Well, with a ferocious debate underway about what direction the Liberal Party should head in after Saturday Night's devastation, our next guest can share some very important insights because she had a front row seat for what was inarguably the most successful and stable period of Liberal Party rule since Robert Menzi's. Trishworth was the member for Adelaide from nineteen ninety three to two thousand and four. She got in at the so called unlosable election when Houston got knocked off by Paul Keating, but then in ninety six she was there for the Howard landslides. She was there for the ninety eight GST election where, despite promising a big new tax and with Kim Beasley looking resurgent, John Howard pulled off a political miracle by winning that election. Then in two thousand and one he did it again. Trishworth, who became a parliamentary secretary. She was a member of the front bench for a while under John Howard, joins us today for Breaking at eight. Trish, good morning, lovely to be talking to you. I always enjoyed our chats when I was there for the TiSER back in what for the Libs was a bit of a golden era there in Canberra.

It generally was good to be talking to you too.

Yeah, well that was the epitome of the broad Church, wasn't it trish? Because you were there with people like Alexander Downer who was a conservative, Nick Minchin who was a conservative. But somehow you wore massage to get along. We did.

We weren't well together and very likable, good people all working for the great courts of doing our best for the Australian public. I mean, that's what it's all about, governing, and you meant to be doing your best running the country rather than squabbling about anything else.

You're still involved with the party. Now have you seen that sort of ability to agree to disagree? Has that? Has that disappeared or is it endangered at the South Australian level at the moment.

The reality check is that once upon a time there were conservatives and moderates working together, and now you've got conservatives and moderates being sidelined by a more extreme right wing some even would describe more a Trumpian approach and I don't think that helped us at all in the election, because you know, Mensis himself said we'll march down the middle of the road. I'm forming a Liberal Party, not a conservative party, in no way reaction much down the middle of the road. And I think if everyone's thought about that carefully, because the public picks up on things, and you've got to be careful of your brand. You've got to be seen to be working for them, not concerned about, you know, factionalism or anything else.

Trish.

We interviewed Simon Birmingham about an hour ago and he made one very small point that I think is probably a big, big component of this for the Liberal Party as an organization, where he said, just people these days are increasingly unlikely to join member organizations. It's hard to get people to do that these days, and so that makes it difficult for the party broadly to keep in touch with people because it's just you're not getting the broad sweep of people that you might have gotten.

Previously that applied.

Does there need to be some deeper structural review of how candidates are selected in light of that, how policies are constructed in light of that, or indeed how you go about attracting those sorts of people in.

The first place.

Well, I think they're very, very important points that he's made. There. There are efforts being made, and I think I can even say this right now with some success because there'll be a state election next year and despite everything else that's going on, the members of the Liberal Party have managed to pre select six really good candidates in seats that we've got to win. And you know there leaders in their community. They are well educated, they switched on, they're young. There's women amongst them, with Rosalie Rattan in Anley, and let's see, there's brad Or up there in the hills in Cavel. You know, a local hero up there, Julian Amato and Adelaide, Jane Fleming and Gibson and a Finizio and Dunston Scott Kennedy in Morialta. So I feel uplifted by this because one should never give up hope. There are swings and roundabouts and we can get some good young people into parliament. Well, that's good for the state, good good for all of us. It's a booster older members of the party to see younger ones coming on whom they can and trust. And hand over the reins too. I think, you know, I'm quite optimistic when I see things like that happening, Trish.

I spoke yesterday to the Conservative Senator Alexantik, who had this to say, presumably the left wing of the party will find you in inventive ways to postulate that we must lean further to the left to succeed. I've seen that rerun once or twice before. What do you think of his role in the result? Do you think he played a role in the result? Locally we saw last year the big fight over the number one Senate spot where he ran that campaign against Dan Rusten and knocked her off for the number one Senate spot. Do you think that he is a help or a hindrance to the Liberal Party in South Australia.

Without doubt he's a hindrance because he affects the brand there. He was being interviewed on the weekend saying make the Liberal Party great again. This is at a time when the Labor Party cleverly tried to link Peter Dutton with Donald Trump, who's on the nose everywhere around the world. It would seem with his antics and what he's been up to and hard right thinking he can do whatever he likes. Dressed up as the pope for one photo was no doubt an ai image, but you know, nasty and to be aligned with him as it infects the personality the perform well not the performance, but it helps identify a bad brand for the Liberal Party. And we're not going to win votes by going further to the right. I mean I just mentioned Robert Mensi said when he founded the party. And if you talk to labor people like I do from time to time, you know they'll say you can't win the election if you go too far to the left or too farther the right. And I think that's the magic formula. And the weekend showed that certainly here in South Australia anyway, that we just we don't hold a metropolitan seat now and once upon a time we did and so when that happens something seriously wrong. I think there's got to be a very indepth review. Senator Leah Blythe has come out quick smart with her own assessment. I think that's unwise for a state president to do that. There's got to be because there'll be some people just not wanting to be seen to be part of the blame for what's gone wrong. So let's get in early and paint a picture. But there's got to be a serious review from very independent sources, I think, and help get us back on the straight and narrow. But there are those who just know what needs to be done anyway, and it's there's swings a roundabouts. I'm sure we will recover, but we're going to need some jolly good candidates who will be able to live up to what's required to the government properly.

Absolutely. Trishworth, a former federal member for the seat of Adelaide in the Howard years, Thanks so much for joining us today for breaking it eight.

Thanks Dave, it was good to chat you two.

She's a lovely Trish. She's a really really good member for Adelaide and when Phil and I were working together in camera it's unrecognizable now. Chris Gallis was the Member for hein Marsha in the first term of the Howard government. Susan Jeans held Kingston for the Liberals, Andrews Houthcott was entrenched as the member for Boothby Christopher Pine was turning Stirt into his own personal fiefdom. Trish Draper held make him like how the world has changed. It's changed remarkably. It's just interesting.

One of our listeners, and I know this just the manner in which they often text in, just texted saying I consider myself probably send her right, But I do agree with Trishworth, and I think what's what the text is saying is I'm probably more to the right of the Liberal Party.

But I think what trich Worth is saying is spot on. I think that's a good text.

Someone else he has asked, and a few people at this point what becomes of Nicole Flint Now, yeah, well there's been conjecture that she may run in McKillop down in the Beast.

Her mum and dadd are down that way in Kingston. Sorry, she didn't leave anything in the tank, did James Stevens was half asleep. I reckon didn't stir. But Nicole Flinn ran again, had a red hot go and you know, just was not to be all right.

Twenty four minutes after eight. We're going to take a break and come back with more, very very shortly.

David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a Breakfast.

Twenty seven minutes after eak plenty of texts still coming in zero four eight zero eight thirty ninety five and you can call us two on eight double two to three double. A remarkable cold case got solved in the United States. You likely hear more about this over the course of the day. Broke in the early hours of this morning.

A woman by the name of Audrey Backerberg, who went missing in July nineteen sixty two, has been found sixty two July nineteen sixty two. A missing person's report was issued for us. She was a mum, so she's with the young four years old.

Well, no, she went missing sixteen. Of course she wasn't born there here, No, she wasn't born. She was twenty years of age. She's in her eighty what police, Our police do this all the time as well. In fact, as I say, police always so there's no such thing as a cold case. We just we don't close these cases. So they went back and they started looking back through old missing persons cases, tasking detectives with them in the sauk or SAYUK County Sheriff's office, and one of the detectives started working through the case. One of the things that helped him out incredibly was one of these ancestry dot com searches that have been done by her sister, and he was able to piece together the fact that she simply she ran away. She was in what sounds like it was an abusive relationship and she'd run away and left and done it. So in a way, she went and caught a bus, collected a cash from her last Wow pay slip at at the place that she worked, and disappeared into a neighboring state in the United States. And he spoke with her on the phone sixty three years after she went missing and said, listen, we have her interests of privacy. She didn't want to be the real detail to be shared. I can just share what we know as a result of the investigation.

What an amazing story.

But it's a remarkable story that I suspect you can hear more about over the course of the day today.

But if you did that, if you disappeared like that, you could not contact anyone that you knew.

Yeah, to do so successfully for that period of time.

Wow, Apparently after September eleventh, there are a few people who vanished. Really. Yeah, there's a story of read years ago about it, and I think it was in the Atlantic. A couple of people who are in bad marriages or just wanted to get out, who were in the vicinity that day, just thought this is my chance.

Did you think logistically how hard that is to pull off? Yeah, like to drop everything in the moment and say I'm just going to disappear. But clearly people have done it. All right, Let's have a.

Look at a few towns in Mexico. Yeah, that's you could do it. Let's check. I've never thought about it. No, No, I'm just distress. Were going to You've got that go bag in the back of your ye go, I got the right sort of car for trying to cross the x bor. You've about sixty people in the back of my highlight. All right, we'll have a look at for your watch. On the other side of five double A US normally they'red in the other direct Also, Vincent Tazia is going to join us.

David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine, five double A Breakfast.

Ninety minutes to nine. There's been an incident on the anzac Hi oh Way and Keswick, affecting citybound traffic. A two car crash, huge glaze all down the highway. Some of our listeners are saying they've been stuck in it for thirty minutes, so best find another way through that area if you can. We have showdown tickets to give away this half house. So if you're stuck in it, you've got someone else in the car, get them to ring in because you might end up benefiting from winning Showdown tickets before nine o'clock this morning.

That's not too tickets in town. Exactly right.

Vincitazi is going to join us in a moment. But the most awful, the saddest, and most tragic story in South of the Straight at the moment is the death of two really young men in a road accident that took place on a Chunga road over the weekend, a twenty two year old and a twenty one year old. Mitch Saraovski has been covering the story for seven years and joins us now.

Mitch, good morning to you, Oh, good morning. This is this is just devastating though horrible, horrible story, Mitch, just heartbreaking. Two families, these two young blokes, krikey, the whole lives ahead of them. What do we know? Have they've been at a footy game? What was the story.

I'm not quite sure yet where they've been, but it was just after five pm yesterday when are Holdings is at sedan slammed into a tree on a Chunger road where I am. That's near Handorf. The driver a twenty two year old man, he's from angle Park and the passenger twenty one year old man from Prospects suffered horrific injuries and sadly guided the scene.

Now.

The road was immediately blocked off as major crash investigators. They examined the scene trying to work out how this tragedy happened. The scene has since been cleared and roads have since reopened it. As you said, of two families have been torn apart. This is devastating.

Yeah, no, it's every parent's worst nightmare and their deaths take the broholder twenty six and twenty seven, which is just unacceptably high. Thanks for that much, terribly sad news, Mitch Zerowski for seven News. You hear more about that across the day.

Still lots of texts coming in on the text lines here before zero eight thirteen ninety five. Few on leadership speculation the Libs Barry said, and he said, I didn't think my text on Josh Fridenberg was worth reading. Barry a lot of texts coming in my friend reading, but we just got back to it and he raises the question, how long do you think a seat before a seats presented to Josh Fridenberg. He's the only one who could bring the Libs back, says Barry. In or couple that with another text here that says Roger says, I'll surprise Pembo that you were not complimentary about Angus Taylor. I was surprised when I recently heard his CV. Maybe he will have a chance to shine.

Well, he needs his chance to shine because he hasn't shown yet. And the only reason we've been ruded about him is because members of the Liberal Parliamentary team will be worried about him prior to the election, saying where are the damn policies?

He suffers from that assistant coach issue, doesn't he. If you've got a footy team who sacks their coach because they've been they've won two games on the year, and you say, hey, good news, we found the new coach. It was the other guy in the coach's pots.

Yeah, he was agreed with everything and the other guy did it's hard to get excited.

Fans would find that hard to get excited about that, and I think that's what a liberals are feeling.

You know. The best way the Libs could change the narrative and also wrong for alban easy tactically, is to appoint Susan Lae lay lay Lee lay season Lee. We we have to get a the bottom of that field. We're going to work out out of pronounce her name, but make Susan the less because it would change the dynamic for Albo. It would actually make the Libs look more modern having a woman leading them. And frankly, none of the male candidates being put forward are even remotely inspiring. Why not We will.

Find out at some point over the course of the next few days. Stacy Lee joined us Lee about an hour ago, and we know Stacey Lee soon pronounced. She made the point that this result on the weekend is a real warning shot for the state Liberals who are now less than twelve months out from the state election here in South Australia. Their leader Visit Tazia joins us now in five to Blair Breakfast.

Vincent, good morning to.

You, morning, David morning.

Will are you guys sleep walking towards the ABYSS.

No, definitely not.

What gives you faith?

I look, I think first thing you've got to accept is the result on the weekend was a clear message, and we've got to accept that result with grace and humility. And I know that well many people did vote for us, because I've had people disappointed talk to me even this morning on the way into Parliament. Many did not, and we need to heed that message and loud and clear. So I think it's time for honesty to be seen to be learning a lesson. I think we've got to meet people where they are and at the moment, everything's on the table. I know that we've also been doing a lot of work behind the scenes making sure that we are ready for the election and developing policy. It was a very disappointing result of the weekend for the FEDS, but it's something we've got to learn from and learn from very fast.

But what is the policy you are developing? With respect, mister Tarsi, I can't think of any attention grabbing policies that you've got out there yet. I don't think any of our voters could name a single liberal policy.

Well, last week in Parliament. We learned that the Labor Party here in South Australia, for example, took our policy which was around apprentices and traineeships to bring them from four years to three years to try and get people up to speed and train so that they can work on our submarines and our building sites and our homes. Recently we had a debate about the EFPA legislation where we actually wanted to, for example, open up more land where it's appropriate to do so and it doesn't necessarily infringe on good agricultural land because we know that we're in the middle of a housing crisis at the moment, so we have put out many already, but absolutely take your feedback on and of course energy, we were very much looking at that very closely. I think it's safe to say that a nuclear has been rejected. That was something that we were obviously waiting to see the outcome of the federal election on it. It's very pretty clear that the Australian people have spoken on that. But we're focused on making sure that whatever the imminent energy solution is, that it focuses on getting our cost of living down because I know people are hurting out there and It's also I think important to remember that in terms of candidates, I mean Nicole Flint, you never meet a heart more hard working candidate than Nicole basically put her life on hole for a year worked as a volunteer. I think it's important to be united and to rally the troops and understand that a lot of people are hurting today. There's officers that are being packed up, There's people have lost their jobs, and as a party, we need to heal. We need to heal fast and we'll get on with a job and make sure that we put our best foot forward to come to March twenty twenty sixth.

You mentioned Nicole Flint, would you welcome her to the South Australian Liberal team.

Nicole and James both very talented people to matter for Nicole are checking with her yesterday. She's obviously getting over what has happened. She's very disappointed, understandably, but you know, she's got a talented career in front of her, whether that is for her in politics or the private sector or back in the media. I mean, she's a talented woman and she's got plenty of options available to her.

Mister Tarsi, your party is a factional basket case. Weeks after you become the leader. You were blindsided when ben Hood decided to go to war without even telling you in advance over abortion laws. We interviewed Trishworth after eight o'clock, the former member for Adelaide, part of the hugely successful Howard. She described Alex Antick as a hindrance to the Liberal Party in South Australia. Do you agree with her assessment.

I think the party does best when we rather than talking about ourselves, we go out and meet people where they are and we focus on the solutions that matter most to people of South Australian and Australia. So look, I'm not really going to be drawn in terms of the factional politics. We've got people in various corners of the party. I think we do our best work when the progressive elements and the conservative elements come together. I mean, been a devastating election loss that has to be reviewed very fast, but I think we're at our best when we come together.

But you say you want the party to come together. As you're saying that, there's text flying around. You've got Leah blythe who's put her a version of events out for all the Liberal Party members to see in only one of the moderates leuctal reality. He's just put out a lengthy statement totally contradicting everything she said, basically blaming Alexantik and the pre selection row over the Senate where Anne Ruskin was shafted. You know, you can say one thing, but the party's not listening to are they.

I think people are hurting at the moment, and I can understand why they are hurting. And as I said, a lot of people they've invested many, many years in this party and we want to see the party do well. Political parties exist to win elections, and we know that we've let people down at the moment. We have to learn from that fast and galvanize and make sure that we've focus on what matters most.

You guys are going to kick Lloise and Mount Torren's good morning, good morning.

I think it's forty five.

That was excruciating. I'll tell you all right. That was actually that was actually almost a completely apt re enactment of the goals slash behind because one way one way, one way the other way, one went through the middle. Which one was it?

That game with the ball Crows win by three points to be fair, Josh Cannon Jenkins Cannon into.

The post film and the color finding seed it. I think the worst thing for Port fans was he almost sort of gloated about it. Afterwards. He had a bit of a Diego Maradonna. I'm going to hold a hand up for the cameras so they get fatal. That's right. The England in Guadalajara.

It was a three point margin in two Showdown forty five. So Showdown fifty seven coming up this weekend, after the weekending along.

After the weekend port fans had. It was a bit cruel picking that one today because you know, we should have gone with the monfrees goal. Instead we got that game. Yes it was. It was a port home show now, yeah at Footy Park. I was there. Yeah, I was there. Oh yeah, I must admit I even though I hated the result, I actually loved that game because it felt like it made you feel like this is why sport really matters, Like, you know, physicitting there feeling physically sick as a Crow's supporter being out numbered nine to ten to one by port supporters. The atmosphere, you know, the old concrete brutaliss bunker that it was. It was heaving that day in the park. Amazing was There's nothing like it the other States, I mean, Sydney, g WS. Is that the game that stops the City of Sydney. No last night the Queensland Derby. Whoop, we do we have got the This is like a rio plate Boker Junior's type rivalry here, isn't it as well?

And it's been given Saturday night so and it deserves and it absolutely deserves it. Let's look at the fuel situation before we go this morning. It's better to be a member with raa road service. I reckon, we're going to start seeing fuel under a dollar fifty in Australia.

There you go.

There.

The Saudis have just announced that they're going to they control the price of fuel essentially all the big oil producing countries by saying this is how much we're going to produce at the moment. They don't maximize it, they don't soull they manipulate the market. They have just announced they're going to increase the amount of oil they create, even at a time when petrol prices are deflated. I think they're going to go down further. Anyway, there's a bit of background. Here's where they are right now on this morning. The United Melrose Park South Roads at a dollar fifty five point five, The United Ottaway Grand Junction Roy dollar fifty three point nine, the shell Oh Tier glen Elk Brighton Road dollar fifty seven point nine and the BP ex Convenience Sows we ride that's at a dollar fifty seven point nine as well Diesel mid to high dollar sixties. The Solo Windsor Gardens Northeast Road dollar sixty five point five. In the mobile at Shadow Park on Commercial Road is at a dollar sixty nine point five.

Big Happy Sinco to Mayo to all of our Mexican listeners as well, the biggest national holiday today commemorating the French invasion of the city of Pueblo in eighteen sixty three. We're a bunch of local Mexican off judy young military conscripts went stuff this for a joke and attacked the French as they were trying to create a royal family in Mexico. That's why Sinco to Mayo is not a big thing in Australia, massive in the United States. So if you're up for some guacamal, today's the day to eat it.

Well at a time. Graham Goodings is coming up next. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from six o'clock.
