Dight after six.

Good morning to you and welcome to Monday on five double A break but it's the twenty third of June. Good morning to wake up and be an ac DC fan and ad later as it turns out, because it's the worst keep secret in town. But they are coming to the BP Supercars Grand Fine a little bit later this year. We're gonna be talking about them. In fact, they will be starring in a brand new segment in the first hour call the seven before seven. That's not too far away. We're off to the US very shortly for the latest on well, what is now a war that the US has entered between Iran and Israel, although the language out of the White House would suggest that they say they're not in the war, they're just participating in a very small component of it. I don't know how you can pick and choose, but we'll talk about that over the course of the morning, including with the Foreign Minister Penny Wong, who will join us on five double A Breakfast after seven thirty.

Today. We're also gonna be chatting with Am Moreen.

I'm looking forward to this Am Moran's fleg which is gonna make a council comeback at their time of most die need. They sent up the am the bat signal and Anne Moran has answered the call. Is it too late? Have they already been sidelined the state government in acting legislation. We've got the North Adelaide golf course. We're going to talk about all that a little bit later in the morning. David Penberthy, good morning to.

You, Good morning listeners, Good morning Will. Now you've got to get on the live stream folks and check Will out. He is neck to toe in paces gear. He's got the hoodie on the game seven. This is for those of you who, like me, don't really know anything about the NBA. I've been living vicariously through Will for the last six weeks as he's been riding the wave of emotions. Today is their equivalent of the Super Bowl, the AFL Grand Final, Game three, State of Origin, whatever your code is, the World Cup.

Indeed, it's like those things if they only happen five times every thirty years, because it very rarely comes down to one game.

So the Indian out of paces your team, they've only ever won one time.

Never won it in the NBA, never won it ever, never won it. Really, this has never meant to happen. Have they ever made the final? YEP once in two thousand?

Wow? And how they go out of the seven games that they played, lost four to two to Shaq and Kobe. So the peak of that the Lakers dynasty at the time my understanding, it's pretty rare to go to game seven. So it's three apiece Oakland Oklahoma three, Indiana three. So whoever wins.

This, you make it be nervous just talking about I don't know what about I dreamt all last night about basketball. I woke up twenty five times to check my phone. I've never cheered harder for a weekend just to end.

You know.

Usually you sit there and look at the time on a weekend, going, I can't believe it's on my Sunday, I was going.

How is it still only Saturday morning? Can we get through this? So the game was on Friday, wasn't it? Game six? Yes? Yeah? Okay? So today what starts at what nine thirty nine thirty? Today? Will be done by what half?

So long as you you have almost all of the fifteen percent of brain capacity I've got left for the program.

What's your strategy afterwards? Because we had the Best of essay on Saturday night and Friday night. Great night, so much fun. Got to talk to a lot of listeners, but you had people coming up to you asking if you're going to doing me. Circa twenty sixteen, when Sturt finally broke.

Their drought, a few people asked that wonder that first flay since I don't think Channel seven would appreciate that if I turned up Barve she get at six o'clock.

To night he goes full Mike Willacy good, big good evening.

To the.

Speaking of best of say, it was a great night on Friday night. It was probably the best ever a lot of listeners had been to. Many of them said to me it was the best one that they'd been to. There was some highlights.

There was one.

Particular low light though, featuring our very own Timmy G. We love Timmy G. And there was a great moment where the head of Ray White Business Star was got who were the major sponsor the whole event, got up to do a speech and in it he mentioned Headspace. He mentioned his charity Headspace that he was raising money for. He's doing the Push Up challenge and it had done I think on that day somewhere in the order of two hundred and sixty one push ups. Now, if you're watching on the Facebook and YouTube livestream, you'll see what happened. He challenged Timmy G to come up and do push ups with him for charity, fifty of them.

Fifty. Here are these two blokes, Timmy G and the head of Ray White Business. I was doing push ups on the.

Stage and they both really good. Because everything on this might be comic or they're gonna get the fifty, they got there fairly easily, so easily. In fact, Timmy G on the forty ninth push up, thought I'll do the clap you know when you push push.

Oh.

He did the clap and face planted into the stage. Now he got up and said, oh, boys, have broken my nose, and the whole crowd laughed, and he walked off. And as I went to get up on the stage, I think we were up there. Shortly after, someone came up and said, Timmy's had to go home. He's actually broken his nose. Now, I think, have we got the picture of his broken nose? Can we put that up on the on the live stream.

We just had the video. They just had the video we just saw the forty ninth push up. I think it's almost unwatchable, like is it slowed down a bit because he actually see him. The hands come up, his.

Nose is pointing in the wrong direction on his face as if they the night there was a it's scrambled because he wasn't going to be able to call the footy the next day. We're going to ask you this morning eight double two three double o double Oh you can textas on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five, when have you ever broken a bone?

How did it happen?

And surely it couldn't have been as embarrassing as what happened to timmy g on on Friday night?

Who got you know?

The old footy champ came out, the chest was puffed out, he was doing the push ups. There may have been the old glass or red I don't know. I wasn't sitting at his table, but it ended in tears. On the live stream.

He puts on a brave face, but my god, his nose was mush. I'll tell you what though, Tims years have been you know, a hard, hard man down at Port Adelaide. They paid off because he was back there for the call on Saturday didn't stop him from from coming in to cover the port V's Swans game. I was surprised that he was there, actually because Jim was at the game and with some portmites and he sent me a text of Timmy up on the big screen at the Adelaide Overginge. He made it because he has the interviews. What about Tim doing backing up a y?

What have you broken a bone? And wasn't embarrassing. We've got some Illuminate tickets to give away. Illuminate Adelaide back for twenty twenty five variety of shows, including Night Visions and city Lights. It kicks off in July, which is frighteningly only a week away. Celebrate art, light, music, food and technology. To Illuminate Adelaide Essays Premiere Winter Event July second to twentieth. Book now to Illuminate Adelaide dot com. Sally and Hillcrest, who I bumped it to on Friday night at Best of Essays, called in don't tell me you broke a bone?

Sally, I have what'd you do to yourself?

It was twenty nineteen. I was walking back into our bedroom and I caught my foot on a plastic shopping bag that had fallen off the bed. Oh no, And I looked down and my ankle was the wrong way.

Oh.

We should have rethought this talk. It's going to make people put them off their breakfast.

How long were you in the moonboot, Sally?

I actually had to have surgery on it because I managed to snap my leg bone as well as so. I snapped my leg bone, dislocated my ankle, and broke most of the bones in myf foot.

Oh christ.

So I had surgery and plated and everything, and I was on a walking frame for about three months.

Yeah.

I did a really really good job with it.

It seems that you didn't miss kriiky Sally. Do you still feel the effects of it today?

I do.

It's still got a little bit of swelling in it, and especially this sort of weather like winter, it aches and throbs something shocking and it's always a reminder that watch what you're doing. And like I said, it had just fallen off the bed. I didn't even think it was there. But it just shows how easy accidents can happen the wrong way.

Sally. Thank you.

You're in the running to win those illuminate tickets. Chris and Surrey Downs. What did you do to yourself?

Where I was apprentice plumber. We were up in the mid North and putting a septic tank in and one of the slabs I had hold of one end and the guy I had all the other and he didn't tell me. I was getting too slow close to the septic tank and the whole thing come down on me.

Oh no, and what did you what did you break specifically or did you break everything?

My right femur was shattered.

Oh.

They had to get a mister in to fix it and I was in hospital for May three months.

A whole septic tank landed on.

That's that's unfathom Imagine the pain at that. Yeah, maybe you wouldn't feel maybe going to shock. Let's go to see you Down's Catherine, Good morning.

What did you break?

I break my wrist and got dumped in the stairs at the beach and fifty year old shouldn't.

Would your hand? You sort of get caught under your body on the bottom of the ocean. Didn't.

Yeah, it got smashed into the sand. Nasty ended up.

They taxed me up.

I think they have a hospital that ended up having surgery up here. A couple of days later to put a plate in and like the previous caller, when it's winter, you know when it's going to rain.

Do they take the plate out, Catherine? Or is it any with you for life?

You can have it taken now I've chosen. Well, it's not cause it's just me. Any problem.

Do you keep going through the security?

No, don't do that.

That's good.

But you can definitely tell when when it's going to rain or when it's cold. It's like I know that I broke the bone.

There like a human barometer. It's got angle from Craig. What did you break?

Oh, good morning boys. Yeah, I'm a builder and about fifteen years ago I was on side early on a Saturday morning before my boys got there, from the roof working on It's only a garden shed, but it was two and a half meters high. I took a roof sheet off and had my foot on it. The sheets slipped out from under me and I've gone head first down like a dart to the ground. I woke up on sort of. It knocked me out when I hit the ground, But turns out I broke the left brist popped my right shoulder, broke my right humorous rips the shoulder out, the tending out from the shoulder. So I was in a cast, both arms in the cast for three months. So I had a very caring, passionate wife that helped me out for the three months because it was hell three months having two casts, one on each arm.

Oh, dear Craig. Not humorous at all, thank you, Craig. Not even remotely humorous.

We'll get to Dave and Jason in just a moment. We'll take a quick break and get back to some are of your stories. And apologies to guy who on the text line says, can you please move on to the next topic.

I feel sick.

David Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.

Twenty two after six. We'll take some more calls in just a moment. We're very keen to get to Israel, though, to chat with Jacqueline Robson, who's done a stellar job covering the crisis there four seven News and joins us on five to blaw breakfast Now, Jackie, good morning to you. Very intrigued to hear what the the feeling in Tel Aviv has been following the decision from the United States to get very much involved in this conflict by bombing the sites of those nuclear development program in Iran.

Well, it's quite mixed. Clearly, people are very fearful of what's to come, with Iran threatening very strong retaliation. But I was at one of the impact sites from the Iranian missiles that came over early this morning in retaliation, speaking to some of the residents there who had lost completely everything inside their home, pecking through the rubble, putting what they could into suitcases, and essentially having nowhere to go. Even still having lost all of that, they say that this is for the greater good of the Middle East and the world, and they feel empowered and with hope that the US has joined in the fight against Iran's nuclear program. They have this exidential threat. They feel that Iran has been developing nuclear weapons and if there was a nuclear weapon to be built a bomb, that they would be the target of that very destructive piece of I guess weaponry.

So people are fearful of what.

Could be coming their way, but they're very much in support of what is happening on the ground, in support of Benjamin Etnia who's decision to carry out those initial strikes, and then feeling hopeful that the US has backed them in.

Thank you Jackie for that.

Jacqueline Robson for on seven News in Israel, you'll see a reporting from six o'clock tonight and some of the remarkable pictures coming out of that part of the world at the moment. It was an extraordinary intervention by the United States, one that we thought might be weeks away at best, given Donald Trump's public pronouncements with regard to the timeline. He said that you run in two weeks to come back to the table. But then that operation Midnight Hammer I think it was called, now with the B two bombers sent in one direction with their receivers on. So the whole world was watching these B two bombers flying to Guam and went, well, that's interesting. But at the same time there were another there were another two that were on a thirty six hour mission flying from Missouri in the middle of the United States to Iran.

I think in heightsight Trump's comments about we'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks were very clever and that they lulled Iran into a sense of security.

The whole operation was incredibly well executed, and we do you agree with you? It was a remarkable military operator.

America is now saying, as far as they're concerned, that's the end of it. Unless there's any retaliation. They're not going to go back in there again.

I mean the B two bombers and so they look like something out of a science fiction film. But the ordinance they were carrying, and as Irana said, well, they'd vacated, there was no one in these facilities at the moment.

They've said.

There was some military personnel that have been killed in the process, but by and large they've been evacuated. Ten thousand tons each of these bunker bos buster bombs. Way, these are the only planes capable of carrying them, carry a couple each. And we're going to learn more about it over the course of the day, but it is an extraordinary operation. The fallout and what it means for Australia very much in our focus when we chat with the Foreign Minister Penny Wong in just over an hour's time. All right, that's all with the reprieve you yet, Robin guy on the text line, who was sick of hearing about broken bones because they feel like they've done every one of them let's take some more. David Albanin's on the line, Dave, what have you done to yourself?

Yeah, good morning Matt and Dave.

He's got.

Careful, be careful.

It's actually not a broken bone scory first story. But I'm calling on the police commissioner to organize a cavalcade from High Mass Square to Wheelsplace around nine am so he can get through as quickly as possible through. Yes, thank you, commissioner, if you're listening, if we could get a police escort nine am, high Mark Square, that'd be great, that.

Would be safest. I think we're thank you. Good on your Dave. Dave's going to say break his out on Saturday. Yeah, let's said the better about that.

Well, unfortunately Tom RN's in the studio, so we're going to talk a little bit about that at the moment. Tom rean all thanks to the excellent glatter or garage doors adding strength, style and safety to your home light dot com dot are you Renny?

Good morning?

In morning? Were morning, David?

Yeah, broken wrist for me, I did it playing soccer. Trying to think what else I've broken? Broken finger, never recovered. It doesn't that it's a bit manky that's yeah, no good so keeping to a medium pacer and it that's a mister still filthy on him for missing it and it just squeezed the bottom of the finger and just.

Banged you know what.

You know, Readie was a quality keeper when he kept for all those years at a high level of cricket.

And he's only got one broken finger. That's a quality keeper right there.

I no, not not too many catchers, a lot just you know in a webbing or something. I don't know, but boy, it was a terrible game. Port were woffle on Saturday. Timmy and tread has called it pretty early. You could sort of tell five minutes in the intensity was off. The Swan's had a couple back Errol Golden namelye Callum Mills has had a few weeks now and they just looked a lot sharper, but Port were just nowhere.

It was a.

Really it was a tough game to watch for the Neutrools.

Yeah it was. It was a bad one, wasn't it. And a lot of them here nineteen points actually flattered Port. They should have lost ten goals kicking well mal Marty zero six with two out in the fall.

And they weren't. It wasn't like he was kicking him on the bat from the.

Bound thirty out, twenty out.

He got to the point in that game, and it rarely happens, but sometimes in forty at golf gets it a bit of basketball with free throws some to we just got going.

Jeez, I hope he doesn't have another shot. Yeah, this is getting hard to watch. It's pretty rare to hear aside that he's losing. Who's and they're they're they're the home team and they're putting up such a miserable performance. The one bit of fun that the port fans seemed to be having was was jeering Joela Mardi Joy lined up for goal exactly, you know nine, talking him even though were playing like a busted themselves exactly.

Now.

In terms of whom they might get back, Ollie Wines maybe fifty to fifty alleterally is slightly better than that. But Jason Horn France, as he saw, they look banged up. They you know, where they're best three or four aren't playing that well. That's a problem with them. What a clash this weekend going up to there. The other losers, Carlton, I mean, Michael Vassi, he's going to be lucky to see out the year at this rate. They were dreadful against North Melbourne and the fans have just had enough even.

That North decided not to play in the last quarter as well. Yeah, they stuffed it up completely, didn't you score?

Did they?

And so Carlton, you know for a side that I think some had them winning the flag at the start of the year. They look like that whoever loses this.

Can't make the finals.

I mean they're probably gone already, but it's it's season on the line stuff already at round sixteen. So Carlton, with the other big losers from the weekend winners. Ninja Lee is on track to win a third major of her career, the Women's PGA Championships being played at the moment, so she's just about got to win that. She's three shots up with a few holes to play. Whoever wins that match today game seven will is going to be a big winner. So we talk about that tomorrow. Carlos al Karaz.

And now it goes I might sit that second.

Now Carlos Alkerraz has won the Queen's Club Tournament. That's the typical build up to the Wimbledon, so he's won that on grass. Brock Feenie won three from three and Darwin for motorsports over the weekend, and you touched on him, Timm and Ginnifer. He's a loser for breaking his nose. But all have to put myself in there. I got to the go o and I went, I reckon, I need it tie and I've taken it off and I went, I've got time to get back to work. And I just wasn't thinking. I had two hours sleep from the night before.

We had to host the first half hour, so I've thrown will totally.

Well, we'll stop eating your chicken, Andre and get up and nose Reddie's not here because he's gone back to the stage.

What was going on? I'm sitting there making chit chat with the governor's excellent husband Rod. He's a big cricket fan. Yeah, he's a big sports fan all round. We're talking about about then I relegated this year. But no, it was quite funny watching this madness unfold. I read Hope and your your lovely wife. They were waving at me from the corner of the room. I thought, oh, it's nice. I've just got in and they went to say hi, and so went over and how you doing. They went, we need you up there in two minutes. Let's do this. Did you even have a script? Yeah, we found the bat.

It was funny because it was no printed script because Reddie had the script. So it was the back of a rundown somewhere that had most of.

The intro sort of stuff. It was just making it all up. It was a bit of it was We've got all the sponsors out.

Which is thanks for carrying me, Will. Will's the winner. I'm definitely the loser.

Not at all. Renny, You're always a winner. Thank you.

That was magnificent. We missed the weather. We will talk about it with the bureau very shortly because tomorrow is going to be seriously wet. All the details not too far away.

David Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast, twenty.

Two to seven.

I had a metric system malfunction a moment ago. Ten thousand pounds the bombs weighed on the B two bombers. Someone corrected and said, there's no way they weighed ten thousand tons, Well, ten thousand pounds. I just reread my notes. Thank you for that.

I think it was the plane. The plane would I had trouble getting off the ground. Yeah, that's right.

Big thanks to Daniel for texting in on zero before I eight zero, eight thirty ninety five.

Now, like as I said at the start of the show, I came in this morning of what Will and I arrived at the same time. In fact, I saw him getting out of the car looking like a bundle of nerves. He's got all the Indiana Paces gear on. Final game of the playoffs is on at nine thirty this morning, the Indiana Paces Wills team taking on the Oklahoma or whatever they're calleds. What we thought we might do here is create a bit of a sort of support group type environment for Will, because he's not the only guy who's going through the nervous build up right now. Simon is an essay based Paces fan. He's followed the mighty Indiana Paces for almost four decades, thirty six years of devotion to the Paces. And we've got him on the line. Now, Simon, meet Will. How you feel its Sibon.

H pretty nervous, they're pretty excited, pretty excited, So.

Simon and Indiana Paces. I must admit I'm not a basketball guy. They're one of the more obscure teams. Most people know the Bulls, the Lakers, the Celtics. How did you get into them? Back?

I would have been would have been about nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety. ABC used to show game a week on a Friday night at about eleven PM. And I had watched about two games and I saw Indiana play, and I don't know stilly or not, but chose that as my team.

And yeah, that's really.

Early adoption because Reggie Miller would have been in his second third year or something there.

He was barely about that.

That's right.

Wow, Oh so well, very quickly I got adopted the nickname Reggie, which is still stuck with me at nearly fifty.

You know, Simon, my whole high school basketball career, I wore number thirty one, So you and I, kid ever.

Wore number thirty one, used to shave my head to be like him.

This is such an obscure sort of passion to have. There's no sort of Indiana Pacers supporters group that meets, you know, once a month, ladies.

There Simon, there is, there is not.

I used to feel like I was the only one, So what's your strategy.

What's your strategy for today? Are you going to get through it?

Ah?

Well, I think I was more nervous actually than about stir beating Glenell yesterday.

That's gone through.

That was good.

So I think I've planned the day about just pacing around the lounge room behind the couch because I'm too nervous to sit down.

Have you ever been to Indianapolis, Simon.

I haven't. Unfortunately, I'm turning fifty in a couple of years. So that's the plan, is to get across to a game.

You've been to one Avenue? Will I took my poor wife there on Arnimoon. Well that's excellent.

I'm now divorced, but when I was, when we did get married, that was part of our plan was to go to Indiana. But yeah, the dollars kind of didn't work out.

Oh damn. But hopefully you get there. You hope that you get to get married again.

You know, it would be really excellent, Simon. Is when you get there for the fifty if you get to look up in the rafters and you see twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five NBA champions and I like that, well.

Good luck to you. Simon, good luck, good luck to the both of you. We might get you back on to morow for a couple of minutes if everything goes according to plan. Good on your mate, No worries, not a what about assignment? Sturt Fan paces fan, Oh, he's got our bases covered. Ben Jordan on the text line says, hey, Pember, just for the sports rap. Sturt's would at the bay yesterday makes it four hundred and thirteen days without losing a mine a round game?

Can I confess? Helen's just sent there a text? I might confess something that I don't think I've ever said on air before. My wife's even not aware of. Helen always calls my daughter Rosie by her first and middle name, Rosie May. Rosie May goodings. Helen says, I hope Rosie May is not in earshot of you if they're losing, losing or winning. Helen, she's been last game, she says to me, she said, Daddy, she got this from her mother, and she said, Daddy, it's just basketball. It's a phrase. She can say it two and a half Rosie May, I went, what are those initials?

R M?

Yep, that name is gets my tick of approval. My wife's not aware of that, so everybody tell her play.

The second half of Ben's message too. On the rain. The point four mil we had overnight means that we're finally ticked over one hundred mill for the year in the city. On average, we normally get there by April twenty six. Plenty more coming out tomorrow. Rain is a coming ten to twenty millis it? Are we coming to Mount Torrens? I reckon Louis's That's where Louise is this morning. Do you get to your bones? Do your broken bones Louise play out when it gets cold?

No, not so far, which is good. I've only just done it nine weeks ago.

Oh that's fresh. What do you do well?

Carrying too many things? And it was a bit silly. I had a cup of tea in one hand, water in the other, peanuts under my arm pit, and I went into my dark bedroom and tripped over a pillow which was on the ground, tripped, dropped things and banged the back of my hand onto the wooden cupboard and crack, crack, and a spiral fracture in my fifth metacarpal of my hand.

Oh no, they're really difficult bones. To hit because you just it's hard to avoid moving that area of your hand of your body, isn't it.

Absolutely?

So I let on overnight and this was the Thursday night of Easter weekend, and got my husband tapped him on the shoulder Friday morning and said, I think you might need to take you to the emergency. So off we went and yes, then next ray show that it was a crack and the doctor said it's known as the boxer's injury or the young man's injury because often young men sort of bang with their fists and that's what it often ends up like. And so yeah, so an operation in with a cast for a week, an operation, plain hand therapy. Yeah, so I'm money back doing normal things again. Now two weeks later.

I'll tell you what. We've had a lot of text from people Tripping over in the dark seems to be a very good way to break down pillows, tripping over clothes on the ground to bad advertisement for the old floor drobe this chat there, it certainly is, Luis. Thank you.

Of course we can award someone with the illuminate Adelaide tickets. In fact, shoul we do that. Now let's give away the Illuminated Adelaie tickets. Now, who do we like for the that told their stories of broken bones?

Look, I reckon, Let's give it to Louise all right, Louise fresh fresh from her fall with the box's hand. We'll give it fresh from falling over in the dark.

We're going to send her off to see Illuminate Adelaide, which, of course is a light show that takes place in the darkness, fine Irony night Visions. In fact, is the day of the show city Lights. It's Illuminated Adelaide Celebrate Art, Light, Music, Food and Tech. Illuminated Adelaide Essays Premiere Winter Event, July second of the twentieth book now at Illuminatedadelaide dot com. We went it from some ACDC fans this mornment. A brand new segment coming up very shortly called the seven Before Seven. We're going to put our expert panel to the work this morning to work out the best seven ac DC songs. You might have your very own ranking. What's number one? What's the best Akadakas song? Let us know find out where it features in the seven Before seven. Very very shortly, we'll check traffin come back with police and weather and tell you when that rain's going to hit.

In just a moment.

David Penn and Will Goodings five double a breakfast, eleven minutes to seven, let's end to the weather Bureau.

Jenny Horvadd on duty this morning. Jenny, I've got a real temptation to jump straight to tomorrow and talk about the rain that's on the way. But before we do that, if you wouldn't mind, can we reflect on yesterday because it got to a level twenty to over twenty two degrees that we rarely get to at this time of year, didn't it.

Yeah, look, we have managed to see that in the past, but it is a little bit of the struggle. We didn't see it last June, and sixteen is the average, so it's a good six degrees above average through there, but the highest that we've ever seen in June is twenty five point six, so it has fallen a little bit short. But yeah, unusually to see those June, especially late in June as well. And I had a little that as well about the winter saltiers, so a couple of days earlier there it was the warmest one we've had in about thirty years as well, so a little bit of a warm spell, but that is coming to an end. A little bit of warmth out there. At the moment, current temperature in the city is a twelve point five degrees. We had a minimum of twelve point three at about six forty, so pretty warm overnight with that northerly airstream. We are expecting those winds to pick up during the course of the day too and getting a bit gusty, especially across the hills through there. We are looking at top temperatures of nineteen degrees for the city and suburbs, eighteen along the coast, seventeen of four Mount Barker, so we had a bit of a change moved through yesterday. There was a few spots around a couple of millimeters up on the hills, not too much in the gauge in the city. Got a deep low pressure driving a few systems coming through. So the next run coming through later tonight, so a few millimeters to expect it to be developing as we head into the evening, an overnight period and then a second more substantial front coming through on Tuesday to really keep those showers going. Chance of a thunderstorm. Even with tonight system could see chance of a thunderstorm and again tomorrow that colder air mass, maybe even some small hawl as we head to the later part of Tuesday, there that maximum temperature right back down to fourteen degrees. We are looking at those showers continuing on Wednesday, but they will start to ease back to a dry end of the world week, but those cooler temperatures of fifteen sixteen degrees persisting, and we are expecting it's, like I said, some gusty wins today and eat tomorrow. With those systems, we are expecting some rainfall, probably some notable totals up on the hills over the next few days. So even in the city can be a little bit hit and miss with the showers, but we are expecting to see a little bit of rainfall over the next few days through there, and just keep an eye out on some of those tides and those elevated seas as well as we head into Tuesday as well. So a bit of an interesting system.

Coming up certainly is going to make a soccer training interesting tomorrow night. Primary Still good on your gym, Jenny, all that from the weather view. You've had a rough run recently thirty five whoa if you play in the rain, you train in the rain.

There all right, let's say to say boss, send you comfortable. Liam Bennett joins us. Liam, a stolen motorbike's been recovered.

Good morning lads.

Yeah.

Just before midnight, eaglel eight Eastern District Police spotted a stolen Yamaha motorbike parked at a fast food outlet on Grand Junction Road at Northfield and patrols approached and found the driver inside trying to satisfy his late night cravings, where he was arrested. Police will allege that the bike was stolen from outside a Hillcrest address on the fifteenth of June and thirty seven year old man from Clearview was charged with the legal use of a motor vehicle and riding unlicensed. He was bowed to appear in the Adelaide Matuscrits Core in August and the motorbike was collected by the owner from the scene.

Happy news for the owner. Liam. Also, am drink driver, not just a drink driver, but a speeding drink driver has been caught in Kampunda.

Yeah.

Correct.

Just after six pm last night, a Barossa patrol detected a station wagon traveling south on the Teely Highway traveling one hundred and fifty kilometers an hour in one hundred zone. Please stopped and spoke with the driver, who underwent a breast test, recording a blood alcohol reading of point one point five, more than twice the legal limit, and further checks revealed that the driver only held a probationary license and the view Nicole radio had also expired. The thirty four year old man from Glories was reported for exceeding the speed limit, drink driving and breaching his probationary license conditions. He was issued with a six month instant loss of license and his vehicle was impounded for twenty eight days.

Good stuff there seeing Constable Liam Bennett from Sapol.

Debuting a new segment this morning, the Seven Before Seven, inspired by the news this morning that will make all Akadaka fans hearts singing. They're back in say for the first time in ten years, playing at the bp Adelaid Grand Final Supercars race in November. It's largely been the worst kept secret in town, hasn't it. But they're playing on the Sunday night, following Lenny Kravitz on the Saturday night. Huge lineup for the Supercars again they'd managed to do it year after year, and so our seven after seven, seven before seven? Should I say committee have put together the top seven Akadaka songs? Adrian Character Lingism super fan Adrian, good morning? What should be number one?

Lord lad Jay Gower good, thanks you.

It's pretty difficult because there's so many good songs and you've got two ears, Bond Scott and Brian Johnson. Look, I think mine would be Bond Scott. Let there be Rock the original I know if you've seen the film clip so it's a classic. But I'm sure both you and Will they heard of God there their own favorites. But there's been a great segment this morning talking about Reggie Miller. I feel fully there.

Will.

I'm a big team, a large one fan from the old day.

Still it all well, you got back to back in the nineties.

I know, and he used to shake and bake everyone. But the kids are trying to get my cards, like trying to pull them out, like what.

Are you doing.

Worth a fortune these days?

Adrian, I've got them all, Jordan, the whole lot, so I've got to keep him under lost.

They still feel like Houston, Yeah I still do.

But not like I used to kid they traded for Kevin Durant this morning.

If if you're wondering, yeah, big news for the Rockets.

Let's find out.

But yeah, LeTV rock could maybe shoot through.

With Brian Johnson.

Good stuff, Adred good on you mate, thank you. Well, let's do it. Shall wet the top seven before seven? Now, David, just you sit in judgment, okay, our ex taking, No, it doesn't speature. David ben Berthe has put this list together. We'll get his review when you wrap it all up. Coming in in seventh spot. Tie Voltage from nineteen seventy five, that's in seventh spot. Came in at number ten on the ARIA charts in sixth spot.

The going to Beds Goot Heavy So.

Far It's all bond One way to the top, also from nineteen seventy five, that peaked in the Area charts at to number nine.

Number five. We jumped forward five years jumps in the stage from nineteen eighty You shoot Me All Night long. I can't believe that came in fifth.

All right, here we go. What are the four songs that are better off? I'm not going to prejudice this. I wasn't involved. Let's go to number four. Also from nineteen eighty eight, you can get number seven in the ARIA chart. Nineteen eighty was a figure that album was a big one that's contributed in a big, big way to the top seven for four seven number three.

Yeah, get rack Hell's Bells. No, it's not no, it's nine and eighty as well thought Yeah, both thought it is Hell's Bells all right.

Second position in our inaugural top seven before seven. It's eight second from nineteen eighty eight peak at number five on the ARIA chart and the number one spot the top seven before seven. It's understruck from ninet eight ninety coming in in fourth position on the ARIA charts in its peak position that was our seven before seven. Let us know how we went eight double two three double o double Oh you can text us on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five.

I've got a couple of problems with this, Yep, highway to Hell? Where is highway to Hell? Where is not in the top seven According to the judge, it's one of the all time great rifts. Taking up with the judge, there was a really good article in a guitar player magazine saying that the thing about Angus's guitar sound was that it's you see all these people there their settings, like Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd, and you know they've got five hundred and three different pedals. What's it in? Inadaka? Their guitars are either on or off? What's it in?

Instead of then should be in the top seveneaker. I'd get rid of heat Seeker in second goes out.

And I think I think Highway, I think Highway to Hell. I think Hell's Bells is a bit of a dirt as well. I'd get rid of Hell's Bells and heat Seeker and put in Highway to Hell and TNT.

All right, let us know what you think, folks, eight double two three double a double zero before eight zero eight thirty ninety five.

Someone hears it, seriously, that's a crap Top seven eats seeker. My god, I too, I reckon let that the rock has to be in there too, love it. I think we'd have a lot of fun over the journey with the top seven before song we should be there as well. That's even in twenty twenty five. That might still be a little bit too risky that one.

All right, we'll take a break Coming up after the news at seven o'clock, we'll take you through the biggest stories around Adelaide, Australia and the world.

David Penberthie and Will Goodings five Double a Breakfast.

Seven minutes after seven. Good morning too. It was a controversial inaugural seven before seven today with ac DC announced as playing Sunday Night at the v Eight's not a lot of people agreeing with the judges assessment of the top seven ac DC songs. That's all right, keep your thoughts coming through here eight thirty ninety five.

A lot of feeling about it. David on with David actually says where's jail break?

It was Jabra must have been in eighth here coming up after seven thirty This Mornings Don't go anywhere. The Foreign Minister of Australia, Penny Wong, is going to join us on the show. Following what has been an extraordinary weekend in the world, frankly, with the US intervening in the conflict in the Middle East? What does it mean about future engagement with the US? What does it mean about Australia potentially being dragged into any conflict. We'll chat with the Foreign Minister after seven thirty today.

I want to ask the foreign given that the sort of default position of the federal government when it comes to any conflict seems to be we absolutely must de escalate as a matter of urgency. While we're spending alf a trillion dollars on nuclear powered submarines, then well.

That's right, submarines that are entangled in an alliance structure with the United States that I think, whether you agree with it or not, inevitably gets us involved in these sorts of conflicts in the future. Here is the US President, following the announcement somewhat surprisingly that the US had undertaken strikes in a run to NAT.

I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Arounds Key Nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Around the bully of the Middle East must now make peace.

The target.

We're three at nuclear development facilies in Iran, deep underneath the ground, the kind of places that can only be guilt to by specialist US equipment. His Defense Secretary pet Hegsath with some of the details of the tech.

Last night, on President Trump's orders, US Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran, Fordeaux Natans and Esfahan in.

Order to destroy or severely degrade.

Iran's nuclear program, and as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs will demonstrate, it was an incredible and overwhelming success. The order we received from our Commander in chief was focused, it was powerful, and it was clear we devastated the Iranian nuclear program. But it's worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people. For the entirety of his time in office, President Trump has consistently stated for over ten years that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon full stop. Thanks to President Trump's bold and visionary leadership and his commitment to peace through strength, Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated. Many presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran's nuclear program, and none could until President Trump.

It was called Operation Midnight Hammer, involved more than one hundred and twenty five aircraft, including the B to stealth bombers, of some flying as decoys, some being directly involved in dropping the bunker buster bombs. For Iran's part, the Foreign Minister has suggested that Washington crossed a very big red line, which I could say they crossed it themselves by developing a nuclear program.

You know, this is the thing. I actually think a lot of people, who even people are hostile to Trump, will look at this and go, actually, do we want to completely demented and reckless theocracy fund's terrorist organizations all over the Middle East having a nuclear capacity. I think most normal people say no, and like the thing is, you know the critics of Trump on the right who say, hey, listen, we don't want to get bogged down in another quagmine in the Middle East. We don't want another Iraq, we don't want another Afghanistan. Well, if history shows that this was a clinical in and out operation where no civilian lives were lost, even the Iranian Red Crescent, which is a line to the government, came out and said mercifully there were no martyrs in this operation, i e. Nobody died. Like if the Yanks have got in, got out, destroyed, or massively set back whatever nuclear intentions Iran had, I think most normal people will go, well, that's kind of good, isn't it.

The ramifications might not just be a sort of military If you imagine they might be economic. The Straits of Hormuz, the body of water that the Iran has control over. One fifth of the world's oil travels through there. Their parliament has voted now to close it. Now that's not just at the parliament's discretion. It's to the Defense Council that Iran to determined whether that's something they will actually have to take. But if they do, that's going to cause real issues. Petrol prices go up, inflation around the world. These obviously secondary issues to the loss of life. But it is a way in which Iran can exert some pressure. It doesn't necessarily need to be a military intervention. Here is the former Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison. I want to make this point. We've got our program this morning has been in touch with former Prime ministers like Scott Morrison, John Howard and others that were involved in similar decision making protocols when it came to dealing with the Middle East. Scott Morrison spoke on two GB a short time ago.

I think it's very important that Australia makes it very clear where we stand, I think on the Middle East issue more broadly, particularly going back to October seven. There's been an absolute fog of ambiguity when it comes to where the government stands on this issue.

So the Foreign Minster penny one will be joining us after seven point thirty this morning. Back here in South Australia. If not for this remarkable into intervention from the United States in that conflict in the Middle East, I suspect we would have been leading the news wrap this morning with a news a poll in Saturday's Advertiser that it made you do a double take, despite I think most people thinking the Maleanauskus government had a significant lead. We don't have a huge wealth of polls that get done on South Australian politics, so this one I think will be influential and have ramifications. A Yugov poll of about one thousand people, seventy two percent of people prefer Peter Malanowskis's premier, a fifty eight point lead over Vincent Tazia. That's remarkable, you know what I find it more remarkable Two party preferred sixty seven to thirty three, the Labor Party forty eight percent of first preferences in South Australia by way of this pole, the Liberal Party just twenty one percent.

So based on those figures at the election next March. If that were to be replicated on polling over, the Liberal Party would hold two seats Chafeye and Flinders two seats out of forty seven in the Lower House YEP, twenty fourth majority YEP, with Tim westone for leader. Tim. We're behind you, Tim or somebody else Satadleu's Marialta. They would lose Colton in Grange, they would lose only they would not hold a single suburban seat, which is pretty much the replication of the lie of the land federally. Now to put it in its historic context, you mentioned John Howe before one of the most famous front pages ever run in Australia, the Bulletin magazine in the mid eighties, when Bob Hawk was absolutely wiping the floor with John Howard. John Howard's approval raiding back then ahead of the nineteen eighty seven election was Hawk was on sixty nine percent. Hawk was sixty nine percent, Howard was on eighteen percent. The Bulletin magazine the front page said, with the picture of John Howard, mister eighteen percent, why does this man bother well? Vincent Tarzi has gone four points worse than John Howard ever did seventy two fourteen. So the question for mister Tasi is, as mister fourteen percent, why does this man bother and what's he going to do about it? Have a listened to Ashton heard and Vincent Tazia talking about the polls when asked over the weekend. Absolutely not.

Look, Vincent has my full support.

He's got the full support of our entire team.

What we're focused on doing is to make sure that we don't have a dictator like a government and premier.

In football, you always backed the coach until the moment you don't back the coach.

Now, no one's going to knock him off because nobody wants it.

No, no, But this is I think that's crazy now in light of this poll because if you're being cute and saying I'm keeping a power to dry because I don't want to suffer a loss at election, I think there's a bigger thing at play now than you know your legacy as a potential liberal leader. It's your place in politics. So if Ashton Hern's going, I'm going to wait till after the next election. Wa Ashton might be working for a pr company after the next election. Based on these numbers, there will be plenty of people in that part. I know how this works. I've seen it happen up close. There will be people. There'll be the nervous nellies who will have seen that poll and their number will have grown over the weekend. That'll be saying someone needs to do something. Well, none of us are going to be in a job, but to find something. What is it this close to the election sticking someone new? Aren't you just going to have much worse?

Could it get? Can it be worse? What do we get at one seat? Seriously, this is put in another leader? They put in a puppet. It doesn't totally disagree. If they put in another leader, that will be four leaders. Who is they're at four? The voters will care because the voters will voters. There aren't any left. What are we talking about? You destroy all your future leaders by changing There might not be any future.

Part elementarians based on these numbers. Who cares about leaders?

I think I think you. I think you're panicking.

Will if you don't panic, panic the player has crushed into the mountain.

Why earth with Ashton Hearn?

Who's because she might not be in politics in twelve months time if she doesn't.

She'll hold her seat. She will definitely hold her seat. All right, hell of a gamble would as the bruss of valid Let me put.

It this way, let me put it. This has been my pitch if I was one of the nervous Nellies to Ashton Hearn. Do you think you're more likely or less likely to hold your own seat if you're the leader?

Well as leader you're more likely too. Although as Steve Marshall David Spears didn't see it, sure them a lot of good Yeah, sure, this isn't unmanaging. This is this is a disaster of historic proportions right now? Well, no, it's a it's a poll that suggests that there might be a disaster of historic backape. That's fair, that's a good lie. It hasn't happened yet. No, this is the the problem. They've got worse. And look it was demonstrated on our show on Friday. And look we got no personal truck whatsoever, no personal problem with Nicola Santa Fanti, But that interview it was a debarcle and it was the reason we fight up. It wasn't about the names issue, It wasn't about getting the names wrong. It's just the total lack of preparation on their side and the total lack of tactical nous, like how is it that on that issue, on that very issue with Vincent Tazia has had a rare win where a year ago he's come out having a crack at the labor government saying, why is it that people have to take their lives in their hands every time they catch a train? Now suddenly these halfway libs, because Connie Bernaris of all people's been you know, watting in their ear about civil liberties, suddenly they've disallowed a bit of legislation that their leader was arguing for just twelve months.

And he nailed it. He nailed the timing, he nailed the reaction to that story.

So then you come on the show you're so and this is where I don't give a damnage. Somebody comes on here and causes Bert and Ernie. The point is to come on the show where you're so ill prepared that you don't even know who you're talking to twice and then you totally contradict your leader's position with all of this gibberish that is completely out of line with mainstream sentiment. That's the problem I've got like they don't know what they stand for on so many front yes completely, you know, like and their propensity for internal fights about everything from abortion to trans stuff to the voice. You know, they just can't work out who they are, So work out who you are. Have maybe you know, three clear policies that you bang on about ad infinitum, and you can make yourself look vaguely credible. But at the moment, you know, I mean, TAZI commands no respect, They've got no policy cut through, and fifty percent of the time when they come on radio without us even trying, they make geese of themselves. Greg on the text line that includes here and that doesn't equally shows woeful interviews we had in the lead up to the Whyallas Still Works bailout where it was like, well, I'd be looking GfG in the eye, and what's that being? What's your position? Are You're going to shut the hydrogen plant?

Watch this space. Greg's doesn't need to take a value. Greg, You're right, my team's playing in the NBA Finals in two hours time. My blood pressures at one hundred and ninety. And yes, I'm emotional. Brenton is emotional too, because Brenton is an ac DC diehard and as this morning morning had the best news confirmed that they are playing Sunday night at the Grand Final for the Supercars this year.

Breton, good morning to you mate. You must be absolutely pumped.

Ah without a doubt to finally get confirmation that it's more than just the rumor.

So how many times have you seen Akadaka over the years, Brenton.

Four times, twice at the Entertainment Center and twice at Adelaide Oval.

Oh mate, we've got pictures of you up on the live stream. Your house looks like a shrine to ac DC.

Yes, yes, definitely.

So we've had people asking how they get tickets. Well, it's the same as when Chisel played at the VH. You just got to get a ticket, Just get a general admission ticket to get along.

Yes, it's a bit of a nightmare going online these days. You know, things crash and you're going to start and scratch again on that. I had a lot of help last time. I'm going to need a lot of help family members.

So Brenton, with your surname young, Brenton Young, was that your was that your given name at birth or did you change it by did you change your name to line up with the band.

No no, no no, that was definitely my name and unfortunately not related. I mean I haven't officially checked it, but I very much doubt it.

It's an exciting time for all the Akadaka fans. So is, Yeah, we we'll hopefully see you there. I've never seen them, never seen Akadaka. So you were at there ten years ago I sat outside the Hell's Bells concert. I could see you going. This time, I'd love to go. I think pretty much everyone will be trying to be a fun way to spend the day, wouldn't it. Well, they're getting on a bit. Who knows how many more tours they're going to do after this.

We will be chatting with Mark Warren from the Motorsport Board after eight o'clock this morning about the coup and what it means for at tenants, at the game, at the game, at the race as well, because there will be a lot of people that will go for the music, Some people will go for the race and stay for the music and so forth.

It's a very cleverly put together event.

David Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double A Breakfast.

Step, Tim jinniber On five Double a breakfast.

Well to take you back to Best of Say on Friday night. We started with a show with it, but if you missed our recounting of what took place, the highlight or low light was Timmy G's brave effort to raise money for Headspace with the Push Up Challenge, thanks to the great people at ray White Business Sales, who were the chief sponsors of Best of Say.

Timmy G got.

Up on stage and said, oh, do the push Up Challenge to raise some money. Fifty of them and I was watching him because we were right at the front, Dave. Timmy's form was immaculate. He was going well. The problem was that about Push Up forty eight. Timmy thought I am going well and he went to throw in a little clap as you do a little bit of Rocky, except a bit like Rocky. He ended up with a broken nose because his face smashed into the stage. He got up, smile on face. Everyone went, oh, Timmy's cracked a joke. He said, he broke his nose. Not the case, Tim Jennifer, as we've got on the five double a Facebook and YouTube live stream, your Schnol's was mush.

Good morning to you.

Firstly, will there's no way, I said, yeah, I'll do those. I was bullied into it.

He's your form, look, except right until the moment it didn't though.

Ah, look he's a great bloke. Brett Buckley, the poor bugger. He felt terrible afterwards. He said, geez made, I thought I killed you. I said no, I said, I think it's probably not some censor to me, like carved out a bit. But look, it wouldn't stop bleeding. And I'm I've nunfortunately got some history with it. I broke it three times in my footy career, and I remember the first time a guy jumped in the air and his hip bone and just clocked me right on the nose and it was quite a significant sort of break and bled and you know, you shove the gores up and you go back on. And after the game, I thought, gee, this is horrible. I don't know how I'm going to handle this. John Calee came up, sat next to me and told me the story about how when he started playing, he played with Foss Williams, and he said, Foss had two of the blackest eyes you've ever seen. Have broken those sideways and he went in for the next ball as hard as he's seen anybody go in for it. And he said, so you think about that if you think you're not going to play next week, and I played.

Did you have to go to hospital to get it checked out Friday night? Or did you having done it before, did you think I'll probably just cracked it. I'll see how I'm going tomorrow. Yeah.

No drums that I said to a couple of people who are a bit concerned. I said, now I've been through this a few times. This one was nowhere near as bad as the ones I did in the games because that broken nose I got. You know, lightning doesn't strike twice. The following week, I tackled a guy and he threw his head back and smashed me right in the nose.

Again. Just after you've done it once or twice, it can sort of.

Pop out correct, correct, And that was my luck. But look, in the end, you just sit up with three pillows, you shover, heap of goes up your nose, and you just wait for it to stop bleeding.

So Mario and the text science, this is the stage. Okay.

If I had to hit my chin that we would have been in trouble.

I guess I mean it was incredibly self sacrificial of you to do this. Tim so has to have to avoid Monday morning talking about the Port game.

Yeah, well I did try and do that desperately, but gee, they can They're so schizophrenic my footy club. It was the week before and we spoke to Connor Rosie post game the way we moved the footy against Melbourne and the clinical preciseness of it. You know, it was awesome and I was saying that that's highlight, real stuff for the year. The following week we couldn't put a handball or two kicks together.

It was just horrible.

In Sydney, desperately tried to keep us in the game. By Amadi had six seven shots on goal. You know, won out in the full six points. They tried desperately to keep us in the game, but you know, if they had a kick straight it could have been a really nasty loss and not the nine to eight points that it was. But the old we're falling into with nine games to go, we're falling into the mathematical chance of making finals. Yeah, not a good place to.

Be this weekend.

Look forward to you and Rowie tonight, who I can't believe if anyone was going to get injured on the night, it wasn't Stephen Rowe.

Who just remarkable Rowe and timmyj tonight. Well, this afternoon, I should say we're going to take a break.

David Penberthie and Will Goodings.

Five Double a Break twenty one minutes to wait.

We started the program this morning by crossing to Jacqueline Robson from seven News in Tel Aviv, getting the feeling on the ground following the US dramatic intervention into the conflict in the Middle East on Saturday morning. In subsequently our newswrap, you heard from Pete Hegsitt to the Defense Secretary and US President Donald Trump, former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and now to get a contemporary sense of what the Australian government is making of the conflict and any potential Australian involvement. The Foreign Minister Penny Wong joins us on five double a Breakfast. Minister, good morning to you, Good morning, Will, morning, Pembo.

It's good to be with you.

Thanks so much for joining us, Penny, So minister, as our country, what is Australia's view of what America did, do we support what the US did with this targeted strike against Iran?

Well, Pembo, the world's long agreed Iran can't be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, so yes, we support action to prevent that. And that's what this is. And let's remember what has been the subject of strikes. These are specific sites central to RAN's nuclear program, and we know that the head of the UN Nuclear watchdog has said that Iran is accumulating highly enriched uranium at almost military level, enough for the manufacturing of several nuclear weapons.

Have we had any sort of briefing now that it's happened from the US or you expecting one about I mean, clearly, I've now publicly released the details of what they have done. But is it something now where you'll sit down with your US counterparts and be sort of walked through the intent? But more importantly, I guess where to from here? What the next steps will be?

Well, look, first, the US has made clear that this was a unilactual US action. The second point, though, the one U raise, which is what next, is really the focus of the Australian government and most of the world, because what happens now matters greatly We're obviously at a very precarious and dangerous moment. We don't want to see escalation on a full scale war and that's why Australia, alongside with Promincy, Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom and European leaders, have called for a dialogue, diplomacy and de escalation. We don't want to see a full scale conflict in the Middle East with all of that means for the people of the region and for global instability.

What's the status of the Australian citizens who were over there still? I know? Is it correct that yesterday in terms of Australian citizens who are in Israel, the DEFAT has had to suspend the attempts to get them out because there's fears that DEFAT officials could end up in the line of fire with the Iranian missile attacks.

Look, we were not able because of the strips to continue with the land border crossings out of Israel, which is what we had been seeking to do, and we have done some, not as many as I would like, but obviously the situation is very fluid. Look, we've got about thirteen hundred Australians and their families registered with US who want to depart Israel. We have about twenty nine hundred Australians and their families registered wanting to depart Iran. Obviously, in relation to Irama, situation is very difficult. The airspace is closed. We no longer have Australian officials in country. We made a difficult decision to close our embassy and ask them to leave because of the risk, including the risks particularly to diplomats that we know does exist historically in Iran in times of ir unrest. We have deployed people to the Azerbaijani border so that if Australians do get to that border, there are officials there to assist them. In relation to Israel, there are reports that the airspace may open for a window today. We are seeking to try and if possible, utilize that. We have contact to people on the ground, but obviously the situation changes very quickly and the risk is high, so we have to take that one step at a time.

So just further to that question on aviation foreign and this might be a peculiar one and maybe not best directed to you, but I note that some of the international airlines, pretty shareway Singapore airlines have canceled or adjusted flights to the Gulf region. Does quantus rely on advice from your department or does it make decisions on its own about whether it's flying to that part of the world.

Well, first, you know, we obviously I have asked my department to consider whether or not we need to update or there's any changes required to travel advice, So we will look very closely at that. In relation to airlines, obviously they make decisions based on their assessment, including what government is saying. We would just encourage travelers to make sure that they lias with their airlines about any closures. There's obviously airspace closures in that region, so you can understand why some carriers have made that decision for a range of reasons.

And Minister just finally, how close is Astray? How close is the Prime Minister to getting the vaunted sit down with Donald Trump? That seems to be a bit of a work in progress still.

Obviously the Prime Minister was looking forward to building on his three very constructive phone calls to the President with a meeting at the g seven. Obviously, the President had to depart early because of events in the Middle East and we were amongst another number of countries whose bilateral meeting was canceled. We're look primeters looking forward to the meeting being rearranged and we would look forward to that occurring.

Penny Wong, the FORIG Minister, thanks very much for joining us this morning.

Great to speak with you.

By it's fifteen minutes to way. In just over an hour's time, we'll be catching up with the former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who has been forthright in his comments supporting the US action and indeed what Israel has done in starting this conflict to disable the raining in nuclear program. So we'll be chatting with the former Prime Minister Tony Abbot up to eight thirty this morning.

The US has said that what it did over the last forty eight hours was not about regime change. When it comes to regime change, however, there's strong support on the text line for Will Woodings call for Vincentazia to be home. Where that segue was going ahead of the South Australian Liberal Party. Will's advocated a scorched earth policy, which is we're all stuffed, so we might as well do something completely crazy and install health for f Leeter for this term of offers in all seriousness, though most people on the text line are saying that, yeah, the Lips should just blow the joint up start afresh, because they're clearly heading for a hiding.

Simply on the strength of that pole, I think you are forced to consider things that otherwise would seem totally crazy.

Given that you are steering into the abyss well. Most people on the text line reckon, you're right and I'm wrong. I was saying that they should stick with Tasia and it's concentrate on some simpler messaging and all try to get their acts together and act like a more professional outfit. Most people are saying, no, it's beyond that, and the Will Gooding solution is the right one. Really interesting texts here from someone that is in the know, saying the phone has been ringing hot in the Liberal Party this morning. The problem though, is who replaces him. Option one would have been John Gardner, the member for murrialta former education minister, but he's retiring. Option two is Ashton Hern, the shadow health spokeswoman, but she seems reluctant to go now. Looks like she's waiting until after the election, although that may be too late. And Option three is Ben Hood he could be announced as leader and contents to contest the seed of McKillop or Mount Gambia. But right now neither Ashton, Ben or John are interested or available. So who is it? Will Tim Winstone? Well? Based on the numbers, Tim safe.

So do you know he'll be back after the next election projection David Penberthy and Will Goodings Breakfast eight minutes to wait. We mentioned all that's going on in the world and the ramifications it might have for Australia in a foreign policy sense. There's a very a basic, everyday component of this that might have an immediate impact. Oil prices are up three percent at the opening of the market, which, as we know, there are line effects for everything, so we'll keep an eye on that.

One. New say Health data reveals that more than twenty three thousand people twenty three thousand are waiting for elective surgery in South Australia and even more shockingly, five six hundred of those are over due. Were we going to talk now to Jenny Bell, whose friend Sue has been waiting since twenty twenty two to see a shoulder specialist. She's in terrible pain. The physical pain is also understandably causing her mental anguish. Jenny, good morning, your friend Sue. How's she going? This is just unacceptable that people have to wait this long.

Look just daily deterioration. Mate, She's not doing well at all, and that's why we decided that we would talk loudly about it, which we've been trying to do for years now. And I think, you know, fifty years of looking after other people and then you can't get help when you need it. It's really beyond the Paalfe think.

It's just awful. Do you get any updates over the course of the process. Does she get updates about when it might happen or how close it's getting.

No.

She had a specialist that she was referred to and seemed to never get an appointment for, and then when finally she did get contact, they said, oh, no, he doesn't do shoulders. This is after a two year wait. Then yeah, And so the person that she'd been referred to didn't do shoulders. So now she's waiting to see someone else, and who knows how long that could be, you know, So she's almost on the point of seeing someone to find out that he doesn't do what she needs. And now they're putting her in someone else and saying it could be five months down the track before she sees krikee.

Yeah, we don't need the exact days, Jenny, but can you give us a rough idea as to how old Sue is?

Sue is she was seventy eight in March. I'm sorry, seventy nine in March.

Riache. That's just unacceptable. Yeah, it is what it is, Grace, thank you. Jenny. The leader of the opposition, Vincentazia, has called in on this issue. Leada, what's your take on this?

Good morning, David, good morning, and good morning to Jenny. Yeah, we were out yesterday with Jenny and Sue. It's just not good enough. It really isn't good enough. But you know, to have twenty three thousand people that are waiting for surgery and then a shocking fifty six hundred of those that are overdue, I mean, you would never meet a nicer person than Sue. She's been a nurse for over fifty years. She's been looking after people her whole life, basically, and don't forget, they didn't have a lot of these lifting machines back in the day which she started out, and so you know, she's been lifting awkward angles, et cetera, and her shoulder is just absolutely cooked and it's affecting not only her physical health but also her mental health. But that was really disappointing to see that after several years she just can't get the help that she needs. So, you know, there's a lot to talk about the ramping crisis, but my theory is this is almost like a silent ramping crisis. There are thousands of people just waiting like Sue to be treated, and we want to see more attention focus put on this. I mean, she basically drove an hour to stand up to shine a light on this to do so. She shouldn't have to take that.

It's like an elective surgery crisis. How do you speed it up? Though?

Well, look, when we were at lasting government, we had a program in place to sort of partner with the private sector. We put on tens of millions of dollars to effectively help clear the backlog, and I think we're very open to something like that happening again. We know that there's good hospitals around the place, there are surgeons that are willing to help just to get this backlog down. We've done that before. We're willing to do it again. We will be putting out our own policy in the lead up to the election. But what's happening at the moment, I mean what you said from Sue. Sue is the human face of this silent ramping crisis. And you know Jenny, you know, she's the best friend that one could ever have, and you know she said it all just before I came on. So we're willing to back it in if the government comes up with a good idea here, but we just need to more focus and attention and clear through this backlog.

Is your leadership dead in the ward I've been Sentazia, No, not at all.

I actually have been asked these questions a couple of days now and now, look I've got a very solid united discipline team behind me. We know what is what is expected. I mean they do say that, you know, being leader of the opposition is the worst job in politics. It's a tough job. But look, I'm really focused on what is important and what is ahead. And you know, whilst there are some ratings out on the weekend, it captures a moment in time. What I'm focused on is the right priorities for South Australians and this state needs a strong opposition and that's what I've got the calling for and that's what I'm.

Here to do. Do you think you'll be challenged.

No, not at all. College we asked yesterday, that's been ruled out. So we're getting on with the job and making sure that we present alternative vision and policies to the people in our state. I think we had a really good week last week where we put forward, for example, our policy around allowing gps to open after hours and on weekends, and also in relation to stamp duty for existing home buyers and getting rid of stamp duty for existing home buyers on first homes. And you know, I think we will continue to do that sort of thing. So we're focused on what's ahead. And these polls they capture a moment in time. They also captured was probably what was the lowest EBB during the federal scene in terms of the worst federal election result ever. And then obviously some issues with the federal coalition that we will publicized. So I'm focused on what's important and looking forward to getting on.

With the job. Do I just think stuff this for a joke? I mean, you know you're a smart blake, your young father. You've got a legal background. You could easily get a job in the private sector. When you look at a gap like seventy two fourteen third Premier dooever, you think, why am I banging out against a brick wall?

Got another baby coming in three weeks too. So I love a good challenge. I love a good challenge someone.

So I did a job.

I've got a great team behind me, and you know, we're just looking forward to, you know, to getting on with the job of holding the gum into account and putting forward that alternative vision. And look, pressure is a privileged It's a tough job, but I'm.

Not for the fight.

Vincent Tazi, thank you very much for that.

David Penberthie and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.

Hey, but it's after right breaking aid coming up in just the moment, we'll be chatting with Mark Warren from the Motorsport Board about they're feeling chuffed securing ac DC for the Sunday night.

How fast are the tickets going to go?

Ah, well they go. I've got it written down here. They do go on sale Thursday Thursday this week on Ticketmaster. So put that in if you're an Akadaka fan and you need to get along, put that in your diary. Twenty six So this about well Thursday.

I reckon they'll be sold out with him half an hour. I reckon you might be right. We'll be chatting with him.

Also Tony Abbott on the conflict in the Middle East and Australia's response to it after eight thirty. Also want to hear from some listeners this half hour who have been caught out when they've bought something online and find found out that it's dodgy, not fit for purpose, wasn't quite what you were expecting. Yeah, or another eight double two three double o double. We'll give you a five double a breakfast keep cup for everyone who calls in with a story of something they've bought online that didn't turn out to be what they imagined. I bring it up because we're eight days away from new laws coming in in South Australia to protect people buying.

Cars Lemon laws.

Yeah, the Lemon laws. Dodgy vehicle sellers will be caught that have you know, wound back odometers and done things like that will face a significant maximum perody of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a first or second offense, and up to two years imprisonment for a third or subsequence subsequent offense, which I kind of find funny because do you get do you get a two or three year ban for the third time you've done? In our six forty police report, if you yeah, I caught drink driving exactly, you should?

You should don't.

Yeah, it seems like he doesn't see that sort of happened. But the worst thing you can do is wind back the ordometer on a car, not drive it recklessly. Anyway, that's a different point. This is a good idea. When have you been caught out buying something online that wasn't quite what you expected. Could be a car, could be clothing. We'd love to hear him. We've got five double a breakfast makes to give away, and we'll do that in just a moment.

Well, this time last week, you wake up to the story about a suspicious house fire in Nova Gardens. It was reported at the time that the occupant was not home and there were no reports of injuries, where we can reveal today that those reports were only half right. The occupant of one side of the Masonet might not have been home, but the poor bloke who lives on the other side of the Masonet was very much at home. His name is Daniel, he's seventy three, he's blind, he is cared for by his guide dog. He is also an amputee. Now, poor Daniel was asleep in his bed when all hell broke lose. And this is in a notorious and rundown pile of housing trust homes at the back of the Glenelle golf course there in Beneathen Avenue in Nova Gardens. And we want to shed some light on this this morning because last week you heard the horror stories out of Gilberton about the unruliness that is happening on a daily basis there. Well, it sounds to me and I had a long chat to Daniel last night that what is happening in Nova Gardens, where Daniel has lived for twenty five years. For the past few years it has been running unchecked and it is totally unacceptable that Laura abiding people like Daniell have to put up with this. Daniel, good morning, thanks for your time, mate, and good to chat to you again. So take us back to last Sunday night. You're in bed. What happens next?

I was in Good morning, Davi, and then good morning Will. I was in bed just probably after eleven. The noises of bad tenants we were around, which are always around. I smelled smoke. My dog I have a guide dog and a retired guide dog. He went started to go bonkers. Then I realized there was a fire and the smoke was infiltrating my home. A neighbor was yelling out, so I knew it was my next On my other side, I live in a semi detached unit. It is attached to my unit. I had to put my prosthetic leg on. Smoke was starting to overpower me. I had to find my way to out of my bedroom. Then I realized what door do I go out of? Then I panicked. I was in sheer terror of burning to death. And that's no exaggeration, guys. I have never been in seventy three years terrified like I was.

Now, Daniel. The thing I found bizarre, too, is that so that the adjoining property the one that was and it sounds like it was a fire bombing that it was so the bloke who lives there normally he isn't there because he's in jail.

So you've got to believe that's right.

So you've got this vacant house attached to yours, which is the target of criminal activity. My understanding too, is that there's other people in your Housing Trust complex who are also, by the sounds of it, living on the wrong side of the law. Your house has now been completely covered in what looks like the sort of temporary fencing you'd see put up around like the v eights or something. That's correct, criky, totally unacceptable that you have to put up with this, and.

David's there's been no communication. It's been a week now sincely Forest first highlight it on his program last Thursday. I have had one two or three minute common asation late on last Friday afternoon apologizing saying that they didn't know there was a fire. I don't know what capacity that person was with the government or Housing Trust, but nobody has reached out to me.

How can they not know that there was a fire. I mean, Sapole put out a media release about it on Monday. It's crazy, it was covered on the news.

Hey, Daniel, how long was it? How long has the place been vacant? While the bloke has reportedly been in the clink.

I believe a couple of months, a couple.

Of months is there Isn't there a crisis of emergency accommodation.

I mean.

There's a crisis of management of their assets. And I'm just talking about my complex here. I am so grateful to have a really nice housing trust duringit which it used to be. But I feel as though I'm living in a war zone. I as I said, it's the fear and the terror. I live with my disabilities really well, but I can't live like this well.

D One thing you said to you mate when we spoke yesterday, because I was saying, what's the solution? Is the solution moving? But you were telling me, and as someone with sight, I didn't never dawn on me that this will be the case. But because you've lived there for twenty five years, you know the area, you know, you know every crack in the footpath, don't you can you can manage to walk down to the to the tram line, you know, to get to the local shops.

Absolutely, the dog learns that I learned RSB. I've had. I've had six dogs since I've lived here. We've got RSB guy dogs at the moment. We've got Seeing Eye dogs Australia. They fly in from me the state to make sure that we can live independently and our environment. As you say, David, I know every crack in the footpath. I can walk anywhere around this neighborhood and I don't want to leave it.

But you shouldn't have to like this.

If I've got to live like this in terror of burning to death, and that's no exaggeration, then I don't want to. I don't want to do it. And it's the appalling management of the complex, and that's what it is. It is appalling. It is disgraceful.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have to leave. But the people who treat these houses that the taxpayers and the government mean kind enough to provide exactly exactly, that's the problem. Hey Daniel, thanks for sharing your story. We've got Stephen Patterson, who is your local member on the line as well. Stephen, you were out at Daniel's house on Saturday and you texted those photos of it through to me. It's totally unacceptable that a law abiding blake like Daniel has to put up with this, isn't it?

It absolutely is. It's disgraceful and Daniel's not aligned as other law abiding people that live in those in this unit complex and there's just a trial of destruction going on there. So that the house that's burned there up next to Daniels, that's the entrance to it and way into the complex if you keep walking up their complex. There's a unit on the left that got burnt out in September. There's a unit on the right that got burnt out in February. There's still rubbish and detritus and burnt out bits just on the footpath there. There's been no care, no response from the Housing Trust to fix this up. I've written to the Housing Minister about this unit complex and how as there's Daniel and other respectable tenants who've lived there for years, they're in fear they've been let down. I've written to the Police Minister and asked for them to be what they're doing for an attention needs to be put on this. What needs to happen straight away is the government needs to set up active security patrols in this unit complex to go around actually have surveillance going on, because we don't want to wait to find out who the perpetrators are because it's the only unit still standing because all the others have been burnt down. And even better would be the beat to have a manager that lives on site, yeah, that can deal with the complex, but also can deal with some of the needs of people in there and keep an eye on things, because just the cost of rebuilding just one unit would be more than pain for these measures, and Daniel deserves more. He's lived there for twenty five years and as you said, he knows the way that the shops. I was talking at the IDA on the weekends with the owner there and they know Daniel as well. He's much love in the area and it's not acceptable that the solution is he has to.

Know, certainly is not. Stephen Patterson and Daniel from Nava Gardens, thanks for joining us for breaking it out. It's just awful that story. That's just a shocker.

If you've got a similar experience or you can, you want to talk to us a bit about your experience in the housing trust and what you're having to deal with. Daniel describes it as a war zone one. If anyone else is having to live through that, hopefully not, but if it's you, call us eight double two three double O. Our phone line is always let's sad to devin Park. Hayden Nelson for Sunrise and seven years is covering a serious assault for us this morning. Hayden, what's happened morning, David and Will.

This happened about four point thirty this morning where a twenty eight year old man has walked down a footpaths on the corner of Belford Avenue and Volingbroke Avenue. He's gone into a home covered in blood and he's asked the residents to call an ambulance and to call police. What has happened in the lead up to that. Detectives and officers here are now trying to piece together where he has come from. They still don't know exactly where this stabbing attack has occurred. He has been taking a hospital in a critical condition. But all these streets around this area of Devon Park have been shut down because police are now trying to retrace this man's deps to find out where he's come from and to also search for this attacker. They're about twenty or so forensic cones that have been placed on the pavement here, which basically show a trail of blood at least one hundred meters long, so some very disturbing, very terrifying scenes here about four point thirty this morning. Police now trying to search for an attacker and also trying to find out exactly and establish exactly where and what has occurred in the lead.

Up to this unbelievable Good on your Hayden, Hayden Nelson there for seven years, Adelaide at Devon Park.

It's nineteen minutes after rad In a moment we're going to talk about the incredible coup achieved by the BP Grand Final that's going to be taking place a little bit later this year. The rebranding going pretty well to begin with, shall we say, Lenny gravit Saturday night and announced officially this when we thought it was coming Akadaka for the Sunday Night. Mark Warren from the Motorsport Board. On the other side of this break David.

Penberthy and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast twenty three minutes after right laws coming in cracking down on the sale of dodgy cars coming in eight days time.

First of July.

We're asking you about dodgy things you've bought online before. Andrew and Power Hills how did you get stung?

Well, you wouldn't be building any Rostell homes of this tool kit that I bought off Alley express By. I did think it was a little bit too good to be through my cords. Drill started to smoke a bits I bought. I first saw it three.

Skins, the drill, the saw and everything like that, I thought, And it was.

Only like twelve bucks.

I won't give it a go, and got all.

The traffic tracking notifications, about fifteen of them. It's left here, it's got there, it's got to Melbourne, it's coming to Hadladet the post, it's been delivered. I thought I was out, so I rushed back.

I better get back and get it. And I couldn't see anything on the doorstep, and I saw an envelope sticking out front of the door mat. So I pulled that out, opened it up and it was a photo copy.

Of the drill pack color.

Mind you, it's.

Not just like a what a photo copy? Well, at least you've got a rip like of what you wanted ry exactly.

Oh that's right, I'm saying. No, I'm trying to what would they do it? And they go, well, if you get a thousand people to give you twelve bucks, seage. It's all right, not a bad days work. But I thought no, so I complained and they said I'll send it back, So I made them pay for me to send it back to them, so I put one back to me.

Yeah, we'll play to Andrew on your mate. That's a great story.

If you've bought, we're going to get in Andrew a five double breakfast Marg as well, Andrew, that's a terrific story.

We're going to see h mccalli photo copy of a five double brick. Well, you just have to wait to find out.

Well, I reckon Mark Warren on the motors Botboard one right at the top of their wish list when it came to this, filling the Sunday night slot at the BP A grand final mate a little bit later this year, Akadaka on the Sunday Night Mark, we're on. The chief executive of the Motorsport Board joins us right now, Mark, good morning to you, coagrats on the big coup.

Oh, thank you, and good morning to you too.

Well. Mark, this is this is about as good as it gets. I mean, if you sort of dovetailing the cultures of being a redhead and this type of music, you couldn't really have done any better, could you.

I reckon that there's gonna be a lot of people out there with a bit of nostalgia too, where I don't think there's anyone that doesn't know an ac DC riff and you've been playing them in the background through the morning, and I've got to say that just brings back memories for me too. Domination having having motorsport the bp Adela Grad final during the day and all the other off track action combined with them having ACDC to headline the Sunday night concert just an unbelievable package and you can get there for ninety nine dollars. It's just unbelievable day.

Well, I wanted to ask you that. So if people by like just to stand a general admission type ticket to the rate they get to go to the concert as well, don't they?

Absolutely? So, We've tickets will be on tal at ten am on Thursday and that's that's all the GA tickets right to the Sunday. So there are some premium viewing areas as well, So consistent with the national tour that ac DC are doing that there's you know, if you won't be right up the front and is on. There's some premium tickets that anyone who's got an event day ticket ninety nine dollars for the day. We'll also get to the ACDC consert as well.

Fantastic and we've got the big Akadaca banner being unveiled now on the on the live stream in Victoria Square. We don't get any noise complaints from the Adelaide City Council about these.

What funny you say that last year when we had the Sunday concert it was actually the first time ever that we had a complaint from the residence saying, oh can you turn up the music? We can't hear cold Chisel. I reckon that There'll be a few people in adelais they will just love hearing those rifts ringing out.

Yeah, it's very exciting. Coup good on your mark, Mark Warren, the chief execu of the Essay Motor Sport Board and under the excellent sponsorship of BP and going gangbusters of the VS again.

It most certainly is an approp nothing and Moran's coming up in the next half hour on the program.

David Penberthy and Will Gooding's five Double a Breakfast twenty two minutes to night, which want to make a point of saying something and saying it directly to not just a wider listener base, but the people that have texted in.

We've been horrified by the list of the text we've been getting in this morning, following Breaking eight, in which we spoke with Daniel, a blind man who managed to escape a fire bombing of the housing Trust unit directly adjacent him because of his seeing eye dog basically.

Had to strap his false leg on first before we could get out of the house. How appalling that Laura abiding people like him living with disability have to put up with this crap as well.

The worst part about his story now is clear, it's not a story that is unique. There are stories of people putting up with career criminals, drug addicts, people with severe mental health issues that they're just sort of told, well, that's just your lot.

It shouldn't be anyone's lot. A couple of points that should be made. I'm just going to read a snippet out of this text. My brother lives in a good housing Trust place with a similar neighbor, always drug fueled in and out of prison. Two points to be made here and they gat a personal responsibility and the fact that as taxpayers we are treated like a bunch of hapless SAPs with a never ending pool of money. At some point, on the basis of your behavior, you should surrender the right to permanently access taxpayer funded accommodation for the remainder of your miserable life if your life is subsidized by the proceeds of crime. Now we know two things. We know that in the case of Nova Gardens, that there are houses there that currently operate as drug houses, that people who live there are on meth, and that their darrow mates come around take meth all day. While you've got age pensioners and people like Daniel who's blind and has one leg. People have abided by the law their entire lives. So if you can establish that a housing trust house has been turned into a drug house, kick him out. Second point, and this goes to the text, how can you have a neighbor who's always in and out of prison? If you go to prison, you should also lose your housing trust house. Like this case in Nova Gardens. This guy's been kissed on the bum by a rainbow, so he's a druggy, he's in jail. And what are we as a society saying, well, we'll just wait for mister drug addled halfwit to break the law, go to gaaler and then come out and then move back into his house. I mean, for crying out loud, forget about AIRB and B. That looks to me like a pretty solvable part of the housing crisis, does it not. And if they go, oh, oh, hang on, I've lost my home, maybe you should have thought of that when you're in the last eighteen months running a drug operation out of your housing trust. Break is it is?

It is extraordinary looking at these long stories coming through on the text line this morning of our listeners who are living in housing trust. Hell, we're going to do more on this tomorrow and we're going to keep doing it because there's clearly a big story here in South Australa at the moment, and good law abiding people are being put up to live in conditions that sound like something out of the third world.

We'll get to that.

Former Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbot joins us on five touble a breakfast. Now though because of the extraordinary intervention by the United States into the conflict between Israel and Iran, in their view, now crippling the Iranian desire to get a nuclear weapons capability. Tony Abbott, good morning too you. We're welcome to five double a breakfast.

David, and will thank you for having me.

Great to chat to here again after a few years, mister Abbit. Lovely to hear your voice now. We had Penny Wong on the show a bit over an hour ago, mister Abbot, and the week and the message from the federal government seemed to be, let's all calm down, we have to de escalate today though the message was different today. The message was we support the American strikes against Iran. Position too. Should have been the position all along, shouldn't it.

Of course it should have been. America has made the world significantly safer by doing what it can to destroy completely the Iranian nuclear weapons program, and of course we should have supported it from the get go, just as we should have supported from the get go the earlier Israeli action, because a nuclear armed Iran would be an absolute menace, not just to Israel, not just to America, but to the entire world. Given the apocalyptic Islamists in charge there who quite literally wan do establish a global caliphate, and that would be monstrous, monstrous for all of us. Look, I suppose some tepperd limp lame support for the Americans, better late than ever. But given the potential for the Iranians now to cause trouble in the Persian Gulf and particularly the Straits of horn Moves, I hope our government is talking to the Americans about possibly helping them to keep the Straits of horn Moves open, perhaps by offering to send a frigate or a destroyer, because if the Iranians do now try to close the straits of all Moves, so that obviously would have very significant ramifications for world trade.

Mister Avit, You've been at times a critic of Donald Trump's foreign policy, specifically in relation to Ukraine. You've run a very strong line against Putin. It was one of the hallmarks of your Prime ministership on this question, though, where some conservatives in the US were warning the present against getting bogged down in some kind of protracted conflict, or indeed inflaming a protracted conflict in the Middle East, as per Iraq or Afghanistan. Do you think that tactically this looks like it might have actually succeeded as being the sort of short, sharp shock that Trump said it was going to be all along.

Well, I certainly think that this is a necessary, a bold and necessary move which is aimed specifically at destroying forever around nuclear weapons program as opposed to regime change. I do think that until there is regime change in Iran, Iran will be a potential danger, but hopefully it's a somewhat less actual danger as a result of this move. But look, wounded animal is a dangerous animal, and let's see what happens. I can absolutely understand the Americans, the American people's reluctance to get involved in so called forever wars. But if you've got forever enemies, sometimes you do have to have lengthy campaigns. That's just the nature of these.

Things we're talking before about the constant sort of refrain at the moment from the FEDS about de escalating. How does that sit with the fact that we're, you know, a signatory to the orchestra. It makes you wonder philosophically, why are we spending all these billions of dollars on submarines if how default position seems to be we should never get involved in a blue with anybody.

Well, that's a very fair point. I mean, Australia historically has been a very important part of the Western Alliance, and then in two World Wars and various other conflicts with one to play our part, we wanted to pull our weight and I think we should continue that. I mean, that's why, as I say, if we were up to me, i'd certainly be talking to the Americans about whether we could supply a figured or a destroyer to help keep open the straits of more moves. We go back to twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen when there was the American led campaign against the ISIS death cult. Certainly Australia was a significant part of that. We helped to retrain the Iraqi army, we helped to arm the Kurds. We used our command and control aircraft and our aerial refueling tankers to help American and British strikes on ISIS positions, as well as doing our own self. Look, we are an important part of the Western the line and I hope that will continue to be the case. And I regret the fact that under this government we have stepped back from all of those commitments. I mean, it was most noteworthy eighteen months or so back when the Americans asked us to the frigate to the Red Sea. It was the first time since the Anders Alliance in nineteen fifty one that would have turned down a specific American request for assistance.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbitt, thanks for much for joining us this morning on five double A.

Thanks for having me.

David Penberthy and Will Gooding's five double A Breakfast ten minutes to nine.

In a moment, we're going to be chatting with Anne Moran, who is set potentially to make an Adelaide City Council.

Come back.

First, though, let's have a look at the fuel situation, which is going to be a story certainly so.

She heard Tony Abbott.

You just say, if the straits of horn Moves get shut, we're going to be talking a lot about petrol prices and inflation because one fifth of the world's all comes through that particular body of water. Don't get stuck on the side of the road. Get raa road service diesel right now sitting at a dollar sixty three at the Shell Victoria Road, Lugs Bay, the United Grand Junction Road on Away also has it for a dollar sixty three.

That's pretty good.

And you can get unlettered for a dollar fifty five and under a dollar fifty five at the Mobile Commercial Road hal At Cove and unled a dollar fifty two at the Ampole Military Road Grange. It's better to be a member with RAA road service.

Well. She was an adored figure by her rusted on North Adelaide constituency. Others, particularly outside of the city, regarded ane Morn as a bit of a bullwalk against progress and sort of symptomatic of some of the nay saying that passed for the Adelaide City Council. Whether a lover or hater, she may well be back. We have Hanne Moran on the line now and I hope you weren't uncomfortable with that intro. But was it affair?

I wanted to check to correct one thing. I'm an area have been for two and a half decades, an area councilor not a North Adelaide coup. I lived in North Adelaide, sure the council not a when it started twenty seven years ago. I did run for North Adelaide, but after that I represented the entire city so I hope that North, Central and South will rusted on as well.

So what's made you pull the boots back on in a political.

Sense, Well, there's a big field word on the street running and I did notice that there's only one other woman running. But also the candidates seem either very far left or very far right, more far rights than far less, and as a sort of middle of the road politician spanning both of them, I thought it needed a bit of Tat's experience common sense to come back and help Jane sort this out because watching watching this council, it's very fractured and very aggressive. And I know our old council got into trouble for in fighting, but nothing like this, and that was very blowing up to the last council work quite well. So I think she needs a bit of help. It's only a year, but you know it's up to the electorate. Really it will be a huge field and I'll just run my normal rates, roads rubbish and a bit of common sense and see if i'm needed.

If not, well, I think I know the answer to this question, but I'm interested to hear your thought. You expound on your thoughts with regard to the special legislation that's been that's been passed to allow the state government to take control of the North Adelaide golf course for the live golf development.

Well, I think it's regrettable for Counsel who's always seen to be a break in these things. I think it was always inevitable that this was going to happen in my mind that the Premier gave himself such a short timeline and any sort of democratic process, which he's really removed from from the whole process, would it down. So he's between rock and a hard place. I think it's regrettable that's councils beings cut out because it could help and Jane Lomac Smith is very helpful to the government and INSTEP. But at the same time, I think it was just inevitable for him to get that up and running by the time he said it was going to be up and running. Would have been impossible going through the normal steps.

Do you think it was deliberately impossible on Malloy's part and do you think he sort of set the council up to fail so that he could use this to take control of the issue.

Look, I'm not sure that there would been that much thought in it. I'm not sure that mister Malanowskus knows much about the North Adelaide golf course. And when the facts up came obvious, probably through Norman, that it's a very big do up that they're doing. And I think if it's a choice putting a stuff up and a plan of which just stuff up, scounselor has such a bad name that park plans. But it should be remembered that the council is the custodians. That is the rule, and to continually take things away needs a bit of explaining. But on the other hand, I can see there's no opposition to mister Mountain askers, so nobody's going to make a fuss and he needs to get it done uber quickly.

And can I ask you fairly or unfairly? You did end up with a reputation towards the end of your term as being sort of the patron saint of nimbism in Adelaide. How did you feel that tag? How did you feel about that tag?

Well? I think that if you represent your constituents in the small city council of Adelaide, everything's not in my backyard. And I felt that there was an uneven power struggle between developers and the people that actually live and have small businesses in the city. So I think that's where it's come that I have stuck up for the David's not the Goliath, because the developers really run this city, and if they want to build a twelve story building next to your one story cottage, they will be able to do that, as shown by the Walker Tower. So I think everybody's a nimby, and so they should be. It's nothing that's in their backyard, they know about it. It's much easier to ruin somebody else's environment than it you know, Oh yes, build that there, you know, don't worry about the people that live around there. But when it's next to you, it becomes very nimby. And so I think a nimbian is a is a silly, silly title to call people. As I said, everybody is a nimbi when it's in their backyard, and everybody's not a nimby and criticizes nimby's if it's in somebody else's backyard. So I think it's a cool, cool tag.

Just finally, and we've got a question from one of our listeners, Daniel he wants to know are you going to be getting along to the ac DC concert.

Oh I was just.

Reading that in the paper. Oh my god, how old must.

They mighttally be really quiet by now anyway, So yeah, that's all right, well and good luck with your campaign and we might have you back on the show. Revisit the fun of the past few terms a Moran Formataladia City Council counselor and maybe set the maker return.

We've got probably time to do a few more tics on zero four eight zero eight thirty ninety five.

I tell you what overwhelmingly they are about the situation with the Housing Trust. There are people who are just shaking their heads in disbelief.

Well, we should make this point to send your stories to us. We're going to pursue this because it's pretty clear these people aren't There aren't noise complaints, These aren't people playing music too loud. People are living next door to drug labs, criminal enterprise and vacant spots that have been just left open for awaiting people to return from prison. I mean, it's ludicrous what people are living in at the moment, So keep sending them through on air at five to blow dot com, dot an email it's or zero before eight zero thirty ninety five and we're going to pursue some of these stories tomorrow.

We would love to hear from you now, the people of South Australia, for the sake of my co hosts well being. Everybody to honk their horns now and say go Paces, Go Paces. We're thirty two minutes away from the start of the game. I don't know what's going to shape Will's going to be tomorrow. Either way, win or lose, it's going to be a rollicking show tomorrow, folks. Will is going to be an emotional wreck. I feel sick regardless of what happens. So caln the paces and we'll be back again tomorrow to see what's going to shape Will's in
