Five a summer breakfast. Matthew Pantellis, Good morning, eight minutes past six o'clock. Happy New Year, all of that, because already that was forty eight almost hours ago, coming up tonight, a long time ago. What did you do? I hope you had a great night. Whatever it was. We ended up at Semaphore or Port Adelaide at least for dinner, had a look at the fireworks, the early fireworks from the Birkenhead Bridge right at the top, and a good view across the Semaphore from there, and got out of the traffic eventually on the way out due that took ages, and Glennelle the same and Brighton I'm sure the same down there. Traffic everywhere and a lot of people queued up. I know the backways through Semaphore. Grew up around there, rode my bike right through that area, so the getting out wasn't too bad, at least skirting around some of the traffic. But it was a lot of traffic, no doubt. Then we made our way into town and by then, of course it was almost midnight, so we had to look at the fireworks there as well. A bit of the educated moth tour, but good fun, good family night out. So we enjoyed that, and there it was. It was not the zaniest of New Year's eves. I think as you get older, you're over the partying and the boozing and everything else that comes with being in your twenties. But anyway, there it is. It was a good night. I enjoyed it, kids enjoyed it, and we had fun. So I hope yours was a good one as well, whatever you did on the program today, we're going to go to the US. This terrible attack, as you heard in the news with Kendall then in New Orleans where at least ten people have been killed and thirty five injured. Someone driving their car through a crowd of revelers and that person shot dead by police. Just awful. So we'll find out about that later this hour. We'll talk with the tourism industry about events coming up this year. We'll have a look at the new stories of the day. Of course, this dead shark do you hear about this? Someone dumped a dead shark in a driveway. We'll speak to the owner of that property a little bit later. On the Australian meant they're having an auction of the the last coins for twenty twenty four and some new coins coming out this year. Will speak to them about that. The premiere, Peter Melanowskis will be on the show this morning and Roun the Birchmore a bit later on as well. Also Professor Nicholas Burry At Chief Medical Officer joining me a bit later too, So lots coming up between six and nine this morning. On this day in South Australia, second of January, way back eighteen thirty seven, the colony is what six days old we established the Supreme Court. I don't know that crime was rife already, but perhaps it was, and the Supreme Court of Essay established eighteen thirty seven on this day, six days old South Australia as a colony. Nineteen oh two, a young girl called Bertha Shippen was murdered, stabbed and slashed at Tawita near Sedan, two weeks just before a fourteenth birthday. At an inquest, her sister, twenty four year old girl called Mary, stood trial was found to be most likely responsible. Stood trial, she was acquitted. The murder remains unsolved. Nineteen fifty five, on the second of January, Black Sunday, bushfires and the Adelaide Hills destroyed the Governor's summer residence at Marble Hill, the eighth fire which burnt through the grounds or damaged out building since eighteen eighty two, and also on this day nineteen sixty, UDNA data recorded the highest ever temperature in Australia fifty point seven degrees fifty point seven. There's some global warming for you. In nineteen sixty it was cooler. The next day the cool change swept through just fifty point three, so a bit of a spell in Udina data at this time in nineteen sixty. It is a hot place generally, and I think regularly gets Australia's highest temperatures, but I don't know it's been as high as fifty point seven recorded there and probably still remains the case today. The high temperature recorded in Australia nineteen sixty. If you have driven through Loxton, or maybe you live in Loxton and you bought a lotto ticket for the last Saturday, you may not have checked it yet because no one's got in touch with the lotto people. But you're one point three to five million dollars richer. So if you've got a lotto ticket you've bought in Loxton at the news agency there or wherever you bought it from, probably worth checking. Don't lose it anyway. They haven't been able to track down the winter. It's not part of the lot members club or linked. The ticket's not linked to a player card or online account. So if you live in the Riverland and certainly through Loxton, bought yourself a lotto for the last Saturday, worth a look, I dare say. The lottery people say you're probably oblivious if you haven't checked it over yesterday to the fact you're that much richer. One point three million dollars very much worth a look all right? Eight double two to three double double ow is the number. If you might have thoughts about this incident on the bus at Theverdon yesterday. I mean, what the heck? So people get on at different stops, probably not known to each other they're getting on, but they knew each other, and a brawlerupts as the bus leaves the city. The driver gets to Thebdon, has to stop, has to get out, so do the other passengers on board not involved. The bus is damaged, windscreen shattered, if not smashed, and a lot of people injured minor relatively minor injuries, but clumps of hair removed. I understand blood around the place. One woman taken to the hospital with some non life threatening head injuries. Unbelievable. And eight thirty in the morning on New Year's Day police called and seventeen or so people arrest at age thirteen to fifty eight. Incredible. Not a good way to start your New Year's And if you're just an innocent person and on the bus, you'd think, well, the worst of the revelle is over all. The people who got hammered the night before, probably sleeping it off somewhere. But nope, eight thirty in the morning there's a big brawl on a bus involving as many people as almost fit on a bus. Just about unbelievable. Good morning to you. Got a couple of texts from people on that bus incident yesterday. Peter says, good morning. The incident on the bus a disgrace. I witnessed a similar incident on the tram from the city to glenelg Have a wonderful year, And Da Vita says, Matthew, my partner was a bus driver and left for this exact reason. No longer safe for driver or passengers. And you read the comments by the driver are reported in the Tizer yesterday saying it's not safe doing this, It's not a good job, just unsafe, and I mean he had to stop the bus and get out because he felt so unsafe, and so did the other people who weren't part of the brawl. Just unreal as police came and arrested seventeen people just fighting on the bus. Incredible, alrighty eight double two three below. Let's check on a house fire at Hackham overnight. Jade Robren for five double a breakfast and sunrises on the roads this morning. Happy New Year to you.

Jade Robren for five double a breakfast and sunrises on the roads this morning. Happy New Year to you.

Jade, Happy he too, Matthew. I am at Scenic Way in Hackham in Adelaide South where a fire broke out at three fifty five this morning. It's still very much an active scene. About thirty five fieries were called to the area and witnesses say that they woke up to a man screaming, banging, really loud noises. They ran out onto the street and discovered the man was trying desperately to get out of his home. Thankfully, he was able to break out of the home carrying his dog. They have been taken well. The gentleman has been taken to hospitals, supposedly with some burns and smoke in elation. Neighbors have taken in the dog, and very good news to report that Luna is safe and happy across the road with their neighbor. The house is completely gutted, there is nothing left of it. Smoke is still smoldering as we speak, and fieries, as I said, are paying it very close attention trying to put out those the smoldering smoke flanes at the moment. But it is believed that the fire started from an electrical fault. Neighbors have told me that the gentleman had a lot of electricity involved in the front part of the house, a lot of video games, electric seats, etc. And that could be a possible cause. But it is very much an active scene. As I said, Investigators are arriving on the scene trying to piece together what exactly has happened. But there was just the sole occupant in the home, and good news at this stage, as I mentioned, he is safe albeit has been taken to hospital, and I will bring you any updates as they come to hands. But there is also a developing story in Durning Court as we speak. Another fire has broken out over there and we're hearing that that one is very serious as well. As I get more details, I will bring them to you.

Good on you, Jade, Thank you. Good news at at least no serious injuries by the sounds of it, but terrible start for twenty five for that person. Thank you for the update there twenty past six now well, lots of other news I'm talking of fires. Will mention the scrub fire in the southeast near Strawn, about fifteen kilometers south of Narracourt. CFS have been there from yesterday as this fire broke out. It's burning in heavy scrub, but there is a lot of smoke around, so they were on the ground overnight monitoring and extinguishing. The fire crewis will be rotated. They're supported by National Parks and other groups locally and observational aircraft and other equipment will be brought into the site. But the fire will continue to cause a lot of smoke in the area and anyone in the southeast nearby around Narrow Court, particularly Strawn, beautiful old mansion at Strawn, which I think is part of these days. National Parks or Persa, possibly at Persa, and they're using it as some sort of research area through there, but emergency services working on and around roads in the area. So if you're traveling through there today, maybe on holidays, whatever the case may be, be aware of that. And certainly for anyone listening down there, well, that is something you should know about. I'm sure you do already. It's been burning for the best part of eighteen or so hours now, already eight double two to three, double O is my number here this morning, if you want to have a chat New Years or anything else you've heard so far. Over in the US, witnesses have described as mass carnage a truck plowing into crowds celebrating New Years. In the US. At least ten people killed in the incident in the New Orleans area, thirty others injured. The FBI describing it as an act of terrorism, the driver's being killed following a shootout with police. Jimmy is one of the witnesses. He watched it unfold.

I've seen reports, I don't know if they're confirmed yet, but seen reports that witnesses saying there was an ISIS flag in the car. Now, you know, I suppose that's what's lent the FBI to say it's an act of terrorism. But we'll speak with Tim Lester from seven years in the next half an hour, about half an hour from now roughly on this and just an awful thing to happen at the start of the year over in the US. Three Virgin Australia crew have been detained in a hotel in Fiji. Has understood the trio restricted to their rooms over an incident which occurred after they landed. A replacement team flying the plane home defact confirming it's aware of the reports. It's not providing any further comment, so we don't know what the incident is at this stage as to what happened, but doesn't sound very very good. These three people Virgin Australia crew confined to their rooms their hotel rooms. Almost fifty Australian soldiers' graves from World War one and two have been damaged during conflict in the Middle East. Commonwealth War Graves Graves Commission analysis shows two cemeteries in Gaza have been hit by Israeli strikes. Dozens of graves affected, their remains have not been disturbed. Authorities in the Italian city of Milan are getting tough on smokers. Will be fined if they light up on city streets or public areas. That'll clear up the smug very big on smoking over in Italy and Greece and other parts of Europe. So in Belgium the first European ban on disposable vapes has come into force, so they're cracking down. Imagine that former Prime Minister Scott Morrison rubbing shoulders with US President elect Donald Trump. Mister Morrison posting a picture on X of himself and his wife Jenny alongside Donald Trump and wife Milania at the Trump's New Year's Eve party at Marri Lago in Florida. It's thought mister Morrison was the guest of Andrew Pratt Anthony Pratt, who is close to the incoming president. Home values have declined over the past three months, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra posting the biggest falls. Home values rose in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. There are signs prices are starting to moderate, though, new data from property research group core Logic showing prices are down point one of a percent point one yay, bringing to an end to a strong period of growth. Research director Tim Lawless says the housing market is catching up with the economic reality.

Combination of cyclical factors, but also just simply the fact that serviceability is much harder now with interest rates as high as what they are. We've been seeing consumer sentiment generally quite low up until recently, at least as well.

Mind you, financial stress taking a toll on the mental health of many Australians. Beyond blues, National debt Helpline experiencing a thirteen percent increase in callers reaching out for help over the last year, and many of these people would never have thought they would have needed help at all. Ever, a clinical spokesperson, doctor Luke Martin says, that's been compounded right now over the holiday period.

He's in Brisbane at the moment commentating the Brisbane International Tennis on that Nick Kirios and Nick Novak Djokovic were in the doubles together. They've been knocked out in the second round. They were beaten by Michael Venus from New Zealand and Nikola Mektik from Croatia. They lost in three sets. Nick Kirios also lost in his singles. Novak Djokovic still playing singles. Nick Kirios I believe has a wrist injury, says it's going to take a miracle for him to do well at the OZ Open.

There we are, okay, thank you for that. The sport update, Lucy Locan eight double two to three double O double Oh it is news time on five double A. On the other side, well, of course, next half hour we'll check him with police and the bureau as well, and also have a chat with Tim Lester from seven on the awful goings on in New Orleans in the US New Year's Eve over there, the sun is up over Adelaide at the moment. Just came up. It's amazing sitting here a day after day and seeing, if I'm in early enough, seeing the movement of the sun over the year, and how at this time it is as south as it gets pretty much. The equinox was what a week or so ago too, maybe so it probably has moved a fraction towards the north. But the depths of winter late June, when it's as far north as it gets as the earth tilts, just amazing the distance between the two. As we go, Karen, thank you for the text that Hope Valley says. So lovely to hear you Matthew while driving to work, appreciate that. Where are you working Karen, this morning, this early? What's going on? Why aren't you on holidays? I've got an excuse. I suppose someone's got to be here, but yeah, all right, good on you going to work at this time so early. Let's see. We've talked about the fire at Hackam. There's one at Durnham Court another house fire, well, waiting on details for that, but there's also been a house fire at Enfield, so quite the night for the MFS. Hope everyone's okay in all of these, certainly the one at hackem. The person got out minor burns. We understand hopefully that's right. We'll wait for confirmation. But he was trapped in the house for a while and was screaming for help, as you heard if you were listening half an hour or so ago. Jade Roberin's report of that. But there has been a fire at Enfield as well. This is Pramer Osborne from the MFS.

The MSS firefighters, using high pressure lines and breeding apparatus, controlled and extinguished the fire within twenty minutes. Due to effective response by the MFS, they were able to contain a fire to the shed, protecting all surrounding properties and the residential property.

All right, So that's a fair bit of damage. Anyway, they'll look at the exact cause of that as the morning goes on, and we'll bring your details of what's happened at Durnham Court as as soon as we have them. You might have heard about this. This occurred just a couple of days before Christmas, on the twenty second of December, but quite the story. I don't know how much news it made because ultimately no one suffered any serious injuries. But it goes to show, as we think last year ninety people losing their lives on say roads one hundred and seventeen the year before. In twenty three, this could have been two more. Two people, a seventeen year old driving and a ten year old passenger, so you'd think a younger brother or sister, both from Blakeview were taken to hospital but have been released. The vehicle damaged beyond repair. What happened is they were driving north on the Galla Bypass. They swerved to miss a kangaroo. It was about at ten pm on the twenty second of December. Swerved to miss a kangaroo. So young driver seventeen probably you know, relatively inexperienced at that age. Never swerve for an animal like a kangaroo, especially, never swerve because this is what happens. They went down the embankment, collided with a pole, speared across to the other side of the road. Imagine if there was oncoming traffic, rolled several times, rolled several times. They both got out okay, and police saying without doubt, if they hadn't been wearing a seat belt, this likely would have ended in a family having to deal with trauma at Christmas, losing one, if not both loved ones, both kids. So seat belts, and so often we hear in fatalities a cause of death is the occupant who died passenger or driver not wearing a seat belt. Unreal So seventeen and ten year old having to miss a kangaroo rolling down an embankment or going down an embankment hitting a pole spearing across to the other side, because I would have been doing one hundred which is the speed limit along there eighty at least if not one hundred, and have rolled a couple of times. Car written off. They're lucky seat belts. There you go, moral of the story. So it is important, it is very important, Okay, lots of other news around the place, and we'll be crossing to tim Lester soon this Friday tomorrow, when the latest COVID figures are out. In terms of numbers in South Australia, it's very lucky, very likely rather we're going to hit a million COVID cases if we haven't already. In South Australia. It was very close to that a week or two ago. The last figures I saw were about three hundred off. So if we didn't get there in the last few days, we certainly will by the end of this week when the figures are released one million COVID cases in say so we will talk about that with Nikolas Bury, the Chief Medical Officer a bit later on this morning. It is certainly something the AMA is concerned about. They put out this release not long ago saying we were on the cusp of a million and we have had of course many deaths here in Essay as well over that period. But the reminder is be alert and be aware of it. Take precautions, you know, wash your hands at very least you can do, and try and stay away from people hard on New Year's Eve, I mean even watching the fireworks in the city, and no matter where you were, probably surrounded by people and it's hard to do. It's become a little bit of life. I suppose we're all used to it these days, and whether people are still getting vaccinations or not, but it is something to be aware of. You still don't want to get COVID. No one wants to be sick of anything, whether it's COVID or the flu or the common cold. But it is here to stay. And that's the message overalls. Take sensible precautions, all right, coming up to six forty two on five double a tim lester not far away. We'll speak with police and the weather Bureau as well, just on COVID. Graham says, that's only the reported cases. Matthew, I wonder what the real number is. Yeah, you're right exactly, because who's reporting these days? Apart from if you turn up to the doctor anyone ringing Essay Health to say yeah, I got COVID. I don't know that many are doing that. Let's check in with the weather bureau today. The second of January looks just about perfect. Chris Kent, good morning, good morning, How are you all right? Thank you?

So?

So?

Yes, it is looking pretty good.

Yes, it is looking pretty good.

It is.

It is.

Yeah, another beautiful day across Adelaide today. Maximum of twenty nine degrees on the forecast, so after a minimum this morning of fourteen point two, so it wasn't too bad over nine either. Expecting those temperatures to warm up a little bit as well as we head into the weekend ahead of a cold front that's moving across the bike, So thirty five on the forecast for Friday and then thirty six on Saturday. On Sunday, I could see a little bit of spot of rain around with the sort of behind that front. Could see sort of a rare yeah, a couple of millimeters maybe at best, not a looking at a lot of rain. There's possibility of a bit of a rumble of thunder as well. And then yeah, cool conditions starting, the cooler condition starting next week before things are warming up again as we head into sort of later next week, so a bit of a up and down again in terms of temperatures. But yeah, we're still for the next few days anyway, still very pleasant condition.

It's pretty pretty normal, isn't it. That sort of thing for this time of year. But I reckon, Chris, this seems to be so far a summer more accustomed to what we recall as as kids, perhaps or going back even a few decades, you know, when some are just used to be sunny and hot all the way through.

Yeah, that's right. So far it's been sort of reasonably warm and yeah, quite sunny. So those yeah, well the forecast sort of yeah, has the longer term forecast has maybe sort of a slight weather trend to it. But given that we don't see a lot of rainfall generally during summer months, yeah, that doesn't really account to real significant rainfall on the forecast. So I thank Yeah, those sort of conditions are sort of yees set to continue for a little while.

Good on your Chris, have a great day. Thank you, Chris Kent, Forecast, the Bureau of Meteorology. Let's check in with SAPOL and what they're doing overnight, certainly the fires we've mentioned, and Senior Constable Scott James on the line from Saphole Media. Good morning Scott, Good morning, Matt. How are you all right? Thank you? So, yes, you've been kept busy with these fires.

Good morning Scott, Good morning, Matt. How are you all right? Thank you? So, yes, you've been kept busy with these fires.

Yes, there were quite a few fires overnight in Adelaide. So just after midnight we were called to Holton Street at and Field after reports of a structure that was on fire. When crews are rare, they found that the sheds that the air of the property were alight. MFS crews were able to bring the fire under control, and after that they found that three sheds were totally destroyed by fire. So a large shed next door was also sustained. Next door also sustained heat and smoke damage and this was all extinguished by the fire crews. So thankfully there were no report of injuries in relation to this one, and fire calls investigators are attending and examining the scene to determine the cause of the fire. And we're just asking anyone just conduct crime stoppers if they've got any information on one hundred, triple three, triple zero.

All right, So those fires that will all be under investigation, as you say, fire calls investigators to determine the causes exactly.

All right, So those fires that will all be under investigation, as you say, fire calls investigators to determine the causes exactly.

Yeah, So that one at Endfield, and then we've got the one that happened about three fifty five this morning at hackem So we were called the scenic hack them after reports that the house was engulfed in flames. Again, MFS were able to bring the fire in control. However, the house's fleets have been destroyed by the fire. Nearby ocupants were evacuated as a precaution was taken to hospital for some smoke inhalation. It's believed to be some minor injuries. Fire calls investigators will attend that one today and undertake an assessment and then durning Court. We were called to Reed's Road after flames were reported to be coming from a property just after five point thirty this morning. When cruise arrived, the houses engulfed in flames and lots of smoke coming from the roof. The ocument of the house was found on the front lawn and he was taken by hospitals by ambulance. In his condition is not really believe not believes to be life threatening. Fire crew is able to again battle that blaze and the fire has been prevented from spreading to further neighboring properties. So yeah, in relation to all those three fires, fire calls investigators and some of that take this villa, tend a scene to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fire and anyone that may have information just to contact Crampstop was on one one hundred, triple three, triple zero just to assist with the investigation.

All right, good on your Scott, appreciate your time, Thank you, Thank you, Scott James, Senior Constable from SAPOL this morning. Let's check the roads around Adelaide now.

Glenn Ben Road in Erindale is currently closed in both directions between Statonborough Street and Stanley Street due to fallen power lines. Motorists are advised to avoid the area. Traffic is starting to build along King William Street from Sturt Street to Goodjus Street and Payn and Rodney. Marlborough Street in College Park is currently reduced to forty in both directions. Would you sare out the window while slicing up pineapple? If you wouldn't do it anywhere else, why do it on the road. Don't let a car change who you are? Say for driving starts with you. Brought to you by the Australian Government. That's Adelaide's most accurate traffic on five Double A.

Thank you. More of that coming up in five Double A News ten minutes to seven o'clock. Now, let's go to the US. Is dreadful incident that has occurred in New Orleans. Tim Lester seven US US Bureau on the line, Tim, good morning, good morning back. Just a horrific attack.

Thank you. More of that coming up in five Double A News ten minutes to seven o'clock. Now, let's go to the US. Is dreadful incident that has occurred in New Orleans. Tim Lester seven US US Bureau on the line, Tim, good morning, good morning back. Just a horrific attack.

Absolutely, yeah, three point fifteen am in Bourbon Street. Anyone who's been to New Orleans will know the French Quarter, know of the French Quarter, and we'll also know that Bourbon Street is one of the most iconic party spots, certainly in America. If you've been there, that's what it is. Well, at three hours after the gong went for the New Year, a driver has taken a Ford F one P fifty pickup truck or a kind of very big ute I guess you'd say, driven it onto the footpath around police who had police cars blocking the street, round police, and then plowed the vehicle through the crowd, killing at least ten and injuring another thirty five. When the vehicle finally ground to a halt, the man left out of the vehicle and apparently shot at police. Fired is an automatic military style weapon at police. They've killed them, but not before two police officers were shot and there now in hospital recovery. Or we've just learned from the FBI that they believed that others were involved and are now tracking them. Who knows, We don't know who they are, but there is a hunt on to others involved, and New Orleans the super Bowl in the month's coming and a major football match on today has been delayed, so New Orleans is in a scramble to reassure citizens that it can secure the city.

I understand the man's now being named all just recently, but also witnesses is IT police as well have confirmed and that there was an ISIS flag in the car.

I understand the man's now being named all just recently, but also witnesses is IT police as well have confirmed and that there was an ISIS flag in the car.

Yes.

Yes.

In fact, a couple of confirmations essentially that this was a terrorist act. One is that there was an ISIS flag being carry read on the back of this utility that points to the Middle East and Islamic state group that America has of course has been fighting now for more than a decade in the Middle East. The other is that they apparently found it an escuie or cooler in the vehicle, several explosive devices and have deactivated those as well a military style AR fifteen style assault weapon and other weapons. So yeah, plenty of evidence now to know that this was a terrorist motivated attack. But the fascinating thing, or the worrying thing it has sense to emerge in a press briefing that's just wrapped up, is that the FBI believes that others help this man and so is hunting them.

Yeah, all right, And no indication yet as to who, how many, where any of that. I suppose that'll come out in time.

Yeah, all right, And no indication yet as to who, how many, where any of that. I suppose that'll come out in time.

It will, and with some urgency because there are major events going on in that city and of course all of America now wondering what the threat level is going forward. So people are generally nervous, as you'd expect, and maybe as they should be as the FBI and other authorities get on top of just how serious the threat is here.

Has the President Joe Biden commented yet, or Donald Trump too for that matter, who seems to be more in charge at the moment.

Has the President Joe Biden commented yet, or Donald Trump too for that matter, who seems to be more in charge at the moment.

Well, both have briefly, although and both in a sense of deferred to the authorities on this. Joe Biden's both spoken and posted online and Donald Trump has posted, but really both remained pretty much in the dark, and the FBI scrambling to understand how great the threat is, but acknowledging that it does that this is not a lone WILF attack, but they've got something more widespread than that going on.

Tim, as always, thank you for your time this morning bringing us up to date, and we'll see that and any developments that come in the next hour or a few hours in your report tonight on seven YEWS. Thank you, good on you, Matt, tim Lester US bureau over there, and just awful this attack. Somebody driving a car around the police barricades. Geett. You know, you go into our mall, our Rundle mall, and thank goodness for those ballards that pop up out of the ground that keep us all safe when we're shopping in that area of Adelaide, and you'd think, you know, you look at the Adelaide over where we've done similarly in the street around there and on War Memorial Drive and the surrounds and somewhere like the US, why don't they have them using police cards as a barrier. That's great, that's a start, but there's there's got to be some lessons in that if people can just drive around them. Lucy Locan, it's back in the studio.

Good morning, Louise, good morning.

Good morning, Louise, good morning.

Just as you were chatting with Tim there, I've noticed online another potential terrorist attack has happened in America.

Just as you were chatting with Tim there, I've noticed online another potential terrorist attack has happened in America.

Not as dramatic as that one, but still awful.

Not as dramatic as that one, but still awful.

A Tesla cyber truck has exploded in Las Vegas outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. One dead, several have been injured. Cause of the fire is currently unknown, but the American police indicated that they're investigating if it is another act of terrorism or a suicide car bomber.

I dare say, yeah, lucky that only a few were injured. I'm pretty sure it was the driver who is deceased, but others have been injured.

Wow, all right, that's terrible. Well, yeah, what do you say? Just you hope it's not terrorism, But potentially that's how they're treating it. And given where the concern would be at the moment following the New Orleans attack, then it potentially is. And if police are looking for more, well this could be an indication of where to start looking. Unreal, you know, it seemed that we were over all of this going back over the last couple of years, well since COVID, but clearly not, clearly not, These these maniacs are still out there, just awful. Three to seven on five double A news is on the way. On the other side, Well, lot's coming up. We'll speak with Sean de Brune, CEO of the Tourism Industry Council here in s about events coming up this year. How did we end up last year? Certainly hoteliers would be happy.

Of course, Vicky Matchett will join me. Who she Well, she's a property owner who found a dead shark dumped on a driveway. What the heck. I'm sure it just didn't fall out of the sky, not shark Nado or anything. We'll have a chat to VICKI a bit later on in the next half hour. This is the first work day of the year after the public holiday yesterday. Of course that means doesn't mean people weren't working yesterday. Obviously, emergency services, the usual things that were operating were some of the shops in the city, of course, because we can't let everybody work. You only have to be in the city or anywhere outside it to go to a be able to trade in a shop. It's just crazy, but they're our shopping laws. The radio stations of court, including five double A working hard on public holidays, just another day for us. But if you're back at work today, well you might be getting ready and heading off. I hope you have a good day for the first work day, proper work day of the year. For people working in hotels.

Thanks Matthew, Happy new year, Yes.

Thanks Matthew, Happy new year, Yes.

You too, thank you So okay, we had quite a few events. I imagine this year to live not far away, gather around only a month or so after that and it's looking good again.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah, it is.

Absolutely Through this early period of the year, it's a particularly strong period for us too. Strongest period for some terms of ABD Hotel over November and then February March, it's a really strong period for occupancy.

Absolutely, you know, it's a wonderful event to internationally watch. So it's not only great in terms of visitation, but it's great in terms of promoting our great state.

What's coming up this year? You know, it's the usual things like that are the fringe that festival won Adelaide, all of that, But anything out of the blue, anything big that's happening that we don't normally usually get. I suppose it needs to be some sort of sporting event or big business event to drag people in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The obviously the lines are touring, which will be that the British and Irish lines are coming through in July twenty twenty five. That's going to be that'll be massive and it'll be a big winter event, which is which is fantastic. I think the other one, and there's there's a number as you highlighted massive, but the other one is if you haven't got to the Botanic, go check out you early.

It's fantastic exhibition. It's really brought the visitation to the gardens to record high. So really encourage those people that haven't gone and seen to her in the Botanic Gardens to get there and have a look. So that's a couple of the special things that happening at the moment or coming up.

Yeah, is that a night event or you know, is it lights or is it something you can see during the day.

Yeah, is that a night event or you know, is it lights or is it something you can see during the day.

During the day it's free and got public access and at night there's a ticular event. So it's three or four nights a week that you can get there to watch it. And yeah, both experiences are absolutely brilliant. So Haylight today it looks like something nice weather. If you're looking for some of the kids, head to Hurley.

All right, there you go. So we get the big things right in Adelaide, don't we. So we can put on these these huge events and they work a treat. They're absolutely fantastic. It's the little things like I think the last time we spoke Sean was about five ending somewhere for buses picking up tourists to take them to the Barossa or McLaren or wherever to be able to park and not get fined in the city by over zealous parking inspectors.

Yeah, and that's obviously the complexities of the industry. There's so many different elements to tourism and people's visits, and you know, the city council's working with operators at the moment to fix some of those issues and they are finding solutions. I think the point that I'd really like to make, Matthew is that you know that government is very supportive of tourism here, state, local and federal government. They put a lot of gy and resources into tourism. There's always issues that we need to work on. The great thing about events also is that the people come, they have a great time. We know how good Adelaide is doing events with that size city as well that you know, these events already capture the city and people still war to provide vibration from their event, but you might not care in bigger places like Melbourne and Sydney. They go back home and they talk about it, and people, you know, are really waking up to the fact that Adelaide, South Australia is an amazing place for a visit. It's a great place for a holiday, and more and more people are going back home talking positively about their experiences and people are booking and coming, which is wonderful for us as businesses.
