Latest / 360 with Katie Woolf / The Big Issues - Tuesday September 28
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It is just on ten thirty and it's time for
- 0:03Speaker 1: the big issues and joining us seeing the studio.
- 0:05Speaker 2: I've got Damien Hale, good morning to.
- 0:07Speaker 3: You, Good morning, Wolfy, and.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I've got Dave Toler, good morning, great to be with you,
- 0:11Speaker 2: Good to see you both.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Now I want to talk firstly about this announcement that well,
- 0:16Speaker 1: the reality is it's getting closer that we could end
- 0:19Speaker 1: up with this London flight direct to Darwin. The devil
- 0:23Speaker 1: is definitely in the detail at this point though, and
- 0:27Speaker 1: some of that detail we could not get from the
- 0:29Speaker 1: Minister for Tourism Natasha Philes earlier today ask some questions
- 0:33Speaker 1: about what's quarantine and going to look like for those
- 0:37Speaker 1: travelers that potentially are going to travel on those direct flights.
- 0:41Speaker 1: But I don't know that it only comes down to
- 0:43Speaker 1: the territory government making a decision on those requirements or
- 0:47Speaker 1: what people are going to have to do when they
- 0:48Speaker 1: travel from another country. I think it also comes down
- 0:51Speaker 1: to whats GOMO probably announces in terms of that national plan.
- 0:56Speaker 2: What do you reckon?
- 0:57Speaker 4: Well, I think you know SKom is saying we're going
- 1:00Speaker 4: to open up when the country is at eighty percent,
- 1:02Speaker 4: and from what I can gather. We're nearing that now
- 1:05Speaker 4: all around the country, so you know, when we open up,
- 1:09Speaker 4: one would expect that that it would be sorry, would
- 1:12Speaker 4: be the end of quarantining. So they wouldn't be unless,
- 1:15Speaker 4: you know, unless somebody's coming in who's you know, somehow
- 1:19Speaker 4: is sick test positive, they obviously have to be quarantine.
- 1:23Speaker 4: But there shouldn't be any need for quarantining if people
- 1:26Speaker 4: are coming in from countries that are too similarly vaccinated.
- 1:30Speaker 5: Well you think you'd only take tourists that are vaccinated.
- 1:35Speaker 4: For a while, going to take vaccinated passengers.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Yep, that's why you got vaxed up, didn't your dive.
- 1:41Speaker 3: And you've got Australians.
- 1:43Speaker 4: That's pretty well true.
- 1:44Speaker 5: It could be Australians still coming home that could have
- 1:47Speaker 5: to go to quarantine, but it'd be great when the
- 1:50Speaker 5: borders are open.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Well you vaccinated, David.
- 1:53Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I am excellent.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Good.
- 1:55Speaker 4: I've got to say this new definition an I will
- 2:01Speaker 4: get to that.
- 2:01Speaker 2: I do want to get to that in a second.
- 2:03Speaker 1: But let's talk quickly about if we were to see
- 2:05Speaker 1: this direct flight, what kind of impact do you reckon
- 2:08Speaker 1: it would have in terms of tourism and for the economy.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Here in the territory.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I don't believe that we've ever had such a significant
- 2:15Speaker 1: direct flight, have we from Darwin to the likes of London.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Expected, Well, we've got Darwin and Singapore a course which
- 2:23Speaker 4: is which is a very popular flight, has always been
- 2:26Speaker 4: a very popular flight, but one would expect that Darwin
- 2:30Speaker 4: to London would be as popular, probably even more so,
- 2:34Speaker 4: and it would be a great thing for the territory,
- 2:37Speaker 4: tourist industry and all of that.
- 2:39Speaker 3: So we're coming back.
- 2:40Speaker 5: The other way, and obviously you want to get them
- 2:42Speaker 5: out of the airport if they're coming from London to Darwin,
- 2:46Speaker 5: and not allow them to link to other capital cities
- 2:49Speaker 5: very quickly.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, you want to get them out.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Here into the into the local economy for sure.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Well, that'd be the big thing, wouldn't it.
- 2:57Speaker 1: It wouldn't just be about making sure that we can
- 2:59Speaker 1: secure this flight, but it would also be about making
- 3:01Speaker 1: sure that we really market the Northern Territory then as well.
- 3:06Speaker 4: It's a big flight on to London and people would
- 3:09Speaker 4: like a little bit of rest and relaxation, I think
- 3:11Speaker 4: before undertaking such a flighty.
- 3:14Speaker 2: So that's where the Northern Territory steps in and will be.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Actually, I love a good rest, a good afternoon, absolutely.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Don't get to have more often enough.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Anyway, Well, let's talk about this anti vaxa debate. I
- 3:43Speaker 1: don't know if either of you kept an eye on
- 3:45Speaker 1: Northern Territory Parliament last week, but it turned into a
- 3:48Speaker 1: bit of a farce. The Chief Minister really having a
- 3:52Speaker 1: good go at the c LP, calling them a pack
- 3:54Speaker 1: of anti vaxers because they haven't seen whether they do
- 3:59Speaker 1: or do not support mandatory vaccines at this point, because
- 4:02Speaker 1: they're still they say, waiting for a briefing from the
- 4:06Speaker 1: Chief Health Officer. I mean, should they just make a
- 4:09Speaker 1: stando and say whether they do or don't support mandatory
- 4:12Speaker 1: vaccines or me?
- 4:15Speaker 4: My question is who is rot Michael Gunna think he
- 4:17Speaker 4: is Robert mcgarby. You know what he's now saying that
- 4:25Speaker 4: you have to be vaccinated mandatorily. I mean, get real,
- 4:31Speaker 4: I mean there should be a choice in it. I'm
- 4:33Speaker 4: not any vaccine you know, I went and got vaccinated.
- 4:36Speaker 4: No drama, zic no. But I mean to sit there
- 4:46Speaker 4: and say someone's an any vaxa who's been vaccinated, you know,
- 4:50Speaker 4: it just flies in the face of reason.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I found it all a bit bizarre, but they certainly
- 4:54Speaker 1: did what I think, telling.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Me this idea that it's common belief that everything you
- 4:58Speaker 4: know that the government should just mean.
- 4:59Speaker 5: They see, the Victorians have come in with certain stages
- 5:05Speaker 5: of allowing people out. If you're vaccinated, you were allowed
- 5:08Speaker 5: to get normal.
- 5:09Speaker 4: And what's next the flu? Were we going to mandate
- 5:13Speaker 4: that shot? Are we going to mandate all these things
- 5:15Speaker 4: because we've got to save them?
- 5:17Speaker 5: But one thing about Michael Gunner, and and whether you're
- 5:21Speaker 5: like him or you don't, he has been very consistent
- 5:24Speaker 5: throughout this entire pandemic, and he's.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Been a consistent voice.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Crazy Da Dave has attacked him and then mind he's
- 5:35Speaker 5: got this little.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Bit of he goes, he.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Goes text Michael handed compliments.
- 5:44Speaker 4: With Harley's been very inconsistent through the pandemic.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Who would have opened the borders back in June last year? Inconsistent.
- 5:56Speaker 1: There's been one consistent voice. One can take you too, though,
- 6:01Speaker 1: is the Electrical Trade Union. For example, they've condemned the
- 6:03Speaker 1: comments that the Chief Minister have made towards the Senator
- 6:06Speaker 1: Malandarie McCarthy. So obviously he then called Melanderie an anti vaxer,
- 6:11Speaker 1: which I thought, goodness me, they're turning on themselves here.
- 6:20Speaker 1: They did a tremendous job but turning the discussion last
- 6:23Speaker 1: week from being about the health system being in crisis
- 6:27Speaker 1: to being about what is an anti vaxer? And I
- 6:29Speaker 1: think they did exactly what they were aiming to do,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and that was to change the rhetoric in the media
- 6:35Speaker 1: and to change the rhetoric within the community. And everybody
- 6:39Speaker 1: started talking.
- 6:39Speaker 5: About that you're giving them way too much credit, as
- 6:45Speaker 5: way too much credit. As I said, Michael's been right
- 6:48Speaker 5: from the start setting the tone, keeping the territories safe
- 6:53Speaker 5: and like you can't the proof of the puddings in
- 6:56Speaker 5: the tasting and where the territories come from March last
- 7:00Speaker 5: year to now is.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Well, so when do we stand here?
- 7:08Speaker 1: Do we think that if you don't support mandatory vaccines,
- 7:11Speaker 1: are you an anti vaxxer?
- 7:14Speaker 3: Come on, I think everyone's just getting question into the question.
- 7:18Speaker 5: I'm just saying vaccinated back in June, Mate, I'm absolutely
- 7:25Speaker 5: against it.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Do you support military vaccinations?
- 7:31Speaker 5: Look, I just think everyone's getting vaccinated. I don't know
- 7:33Speaker 5: why we're having this debate, and what we're going to
- 7:36Speaker 5: see is.
- 7:37Speaker 4: That people into the question. He just keeps deflecting to.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Come in and cheer for me when I'm interviewing someone
- 7:42Speaker 1: and they don't.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I mean, how often can you divert the government season?
- 7:52Speaker 4: It has to be done. Michael going and wants to.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Know, I don't think you support mandatory vaccinations?
- 7:57Speaker 4: Do you all the same thing that makes me an
- 8:01Speaker 4: anti vaxer?
- 8:03Speaker 5: Look, I support getting people everyone vaccinating, and that the
- 8:08Speaker 5: best way we can open up to the territory, to
- 8:11Speaker 5: open up to the other states is just go and
- 8:13Speaker 5: get vaccinated.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Well, and I said it last week. I've had both
- 8:15Speaker 2: my vaccines. I'm full.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I am a pro vaxer, but I also understand that
- 8:19Speaker 1: some people are still hesitant about it. And I actually
- 8:22Speaker 1: think that there needs to be more education for some
- 8:25Speaker 1: of those people if they are unsure whether they you know,
- 8:29Speaker 1: if they're worried about the safety of the vaccine and
- 8:31Speaker 1: stuff like that. I suppose, Well, this is the other
- 8:34Speaker 1: part of the discussion, isn't it.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Is there are people don't want it.
- 8:37Speaker 4: To get vaccinated. Well, that's their problem, isn't it?
- 8:40Speaker 1: And is that the approach that realistically, you know, we're
- 8:42Speaker 1: going to get to where if some people don't want
- 8:44Speaker 1: to get the vaccine. Once we're at eighty percent, it
- 8:46Speaker 1: doesn't really matter.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I'm not a decision maker and or leaders, so I'm
- 8:51Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure what they're going to decide
- 8:52Speaker 1: to do.
- 8:53Speaker 5: People will continue to have their own choice, but you know,
- 8:57Speaker 5: I just think that it's heading in the right direction.
- 9:00Speaker 5: And you look around Australia and there's going to be
- 9:02Speaker 5: little pockets of resistance wherever they are. But I think,
- 9:05Speaker 5: you know, as it's happened in New South Wales and Victoria,
- 9:07Speaker 5: they're saying, well, if you if you've been vaccinated, you
- 9:10Speaker 5: get to live under these rules. If you haven't been
- 9:12Speaker 5: you're still locked down. If quanas have made it clear
- 9:15Speaker 5: that if you're not vaccinated, I think Alan Joyce said
- 9:19Speaker 5: this last year that if you're not vaccinated, you won't
- 9:21Speaker 5: be There will be a time when they'll say, well
- 9:23Speaker 5: you're not allowed on a plane if you're not vaccinated,
- 9:26Speaker 5: so you're not allowed possibly into a government building.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Or you're not Singapore opened up in June. Sorry, in March,
- 9:34Speaker 4: we're thirty percent. Right now they're now sitting at ninety
- 9:38Speaker 4: percent vaccinated or something like that. But Singapore has been
- 9:42Speaker 4: trading and accepting overseas flights and all that since March.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Since March and they opened up at thirty percent. Now
- 9:50Speaker 4: here we are, we're all fretting and carrying on about oh,
- 9:54Speaker 4: well will we get to eighty percent or when can
- 9:56Speaker 4: we open up? You know, we're talking about mandating people
- 9:59Speaker 4: having to get vaccinated. I think that's just all totalitarian,
- 10:03Speaker 4: authoritarian nonsense. It's just you know, these chief ministers and
- 10:08Speaker 4: premiers around the country are on a complete power trip
- 10:11Speaker 4: at the moment. They have completely lost it. They think
- 10:14Speaker 4: it's okay to just lock everyone up. At the drop
- 10:16Speaker 4: of a hat, one or two people get sick, they'll
- 10:19Speaker 4: shut down a whole state.
- 10:22Speaker 2: At the moment. I mean, it's pretty bad.
- 10:24Speaker 4: Of everybody built her up because she's considering opening up
- 10:29Speaker 4: because they're getting close to eighty percent vaccination rate.
- 10:32Speaker 5: Hindsight's going to be a great thing in this because,
- 10:35Speaker 5: like as I said, if you if you look back
- 10:38Speaker 5: on how Australia's handled it to other parts of the world, Australians,
- 10:43Speaker 5: Australians would not have put up with having twenty five
- 10:46Speaker 5: thousand people die.
- 10:48Speaker 3: It just would.
- 10:48Speaker 4: The rest of the world is out of lockdown. They're
- 10:51Speaker 4: laughing at US. So I used to sit there and say,
- 10:52Speaker 4: Australia's wore this out pretty well, but now they're all trading,
- 10:56Speaker 4: carrying on doing life is to return to normal, and
- 11:00Speaker 4: here we are still dealing with lockdowns, like endless lockdowns
- 11:04Speaker 4: like in Victoria.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Well, because our vaccination was a vaccination, which is the restraint.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Good at getting vaccinated, always been good at getting vaccinated.
- 11:18Speaker 4: I don't know where the pressure is.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Well, we can go in the vaccines because of the liberal,
- 11:24Speaker 5: bloody federal government stuff that us.
- 11:25Speaker 2: It's a couple of minutes to warm up. But now
- 11:27Speaker 2: we're there, we're going to have to take got political.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Yeah, short break, you are listening to Mix one O
- 11:35Speaker 1: four point nine.
- 11:35Speaker 2: It is the big issues. It is the big issues.
- 11:38Speaker 1: With Damian Hale and Dave Tolner, proudly brought to you
- 11:41Speaker 1: by Kolano Community Association. Now, I just want to take
- 11:45Speaker 1: you both across to this announcement that was made a
- 11:47Speaker 1: bit earlier in the week. The federal government will there
- 11:49Speaker 1: yet to set the target of net zero emissions by
- 11:52Speaker 1: twenty fifty, but the Treasurer has used a speech and
- 11:55Speaker 1: several media appearances to push the case to finalize a plan. Now,
- 11:59Speaker 1: Australia is under increasing international pressure to agree to this
- 12:03Speaker 1: twenty fifty goal, with the US and the UK seeking
- 12:06Speaker 1: assurances Australia will deliver a sufficient reduction. The Prime Minister
- 12:10Speaker 1: obviously expressing his desire for Australia to reach that met
- 12:14Speaker 1: zero emissions by preferably he said twenty fifty, but internal
- 12:19Speaker 1: division within the government has prevented him from setting a
- 12:22Speaker 1: legislated target, and we know that there has also been
- 12:27Speaker 1: some division obviously with the NATS. So you know, I
- 12:32Speaker 1: don't know exactly where this is all going to land.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I think one of you called this really early that
- 12:37Speaker 1: we're going to see the Liberal Party pushing for the
- 12:41Speaker 1: twenty to fifty zero target in the cities and in
- 12:46Speaker 1: our more urban areas, and then we're going to see
- 12:48Speaker 1: the Nats pushing it the other direction out in the
- 12:51Speaker 1: more rural areas.
- 12:53Speaker 2: I can't was it one of you two who said
- 12:55Speaker 2: that to me?
- 12:55Speaker 3: It was probably me.
- 12:57Speaker 5: Yes, I know, see Morrison doing cartwheels when Barnaby was
- 13:03Speaker 5: back in Charger than that's that's for sure.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Well, And I don't think Barnaby is the only one
- 13:08Speaker 1: who's who's been a bit firm on this. I know
- 13:11Speaker 1: that's Matt Canavan has come out swinging.
- 13:14Speaker 2: By the look of things.
- 13:16Speaker 4: He's far from the only one. I mean, you know,
- 13:19Speaker 4: most of the country if you have a look at
- 13:20Speaker 4: the last election result, you know Bill Shorten wanted to
- 13:27Speaker 4: go to an election on this issue and he got
- 13:30Speaker 4: wiped out in Queensland and New South Wales. You know,
- 13:35Speaker 4: the country is pretty well spoken.
- 13:37Speaker 5: It's actually climate change is coming up very much as
- 13:41Speaker 5: a as a big election.
- 13:44Speaker 3: To particularly young voters, young voters.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I do think that it is like we've reached a
- 13:49Speaker 1: point where, you know, you're seeing that You're seeing private
- 13:52Speaker 1: enterprise say what they're you know, what their targets are.
- 13:55Speaker 2: You're seeing different businesses go today.
- 13:57Speaker 4: They put people at the at the grassroots are the
- 14:00Speaker 4: ones who vote right, and they're seeing their electricity system
- 14:04Speaker 4: become more and more unreliable as times time goes on.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Power price is going up and up and up through
- 14:09Speaker 4: the roof. You know, it's not fifteen years ago we
- 14:12Speaker 4: had the cheapest and most reliable electricity in the world
- 14:17Speaker 4: and now we've got near the most expensive. The only
- 14:21Speaker 4: thing that's changed is we've packed a whole lot of
- 14:23Speaker 4: renewables and subsidies into that system that's driven up prices
- 14:27Speaker 4: and driven down reliability, and people are noticing that, and
- 14:32Speaker 4: people are noticing the attack on their jobs in these
- 14:34Speaker 4: mining community its communities. And it's not just coal, it's
- 14:38Speaker 4: agriculture and pastoral and grazing industries, people who raise cattle,
- 14:42Speaker 4: and that they're under attack. All of these industries are
- 14:46Speaker 4: under attack from these sort of green climate alarmists.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Which are running around.
- 14:56Speaker 4: If Haley said that, when you break them down, he's
- 14:59Speaker 4: probably right. Most of those people live in regional and
- 15:04Speaker 4: rural parts of Australia where things are dug up or
- 15:08Speaker 4: grown or tended, you know, where your team cattle or whatever.
- 15:13Speaker 4: They don't happen in inner city Sydney and Melbourne, where
- 15:17Speaker 4: you see people who are sitting there, you know, dealing
- 15:21Speaker 4: with their own smog issues because of their abundance of
- 15:24Speaker 4: traffic and other stuff. They can't see the sky at
- 15:28Speaker 4: night in most of Sydney or Melbourne, and they're sitting
- 15:31Speaker 4: there wanting to shut the rest of the country down.
- 15:33Speaker 2: It's just so we're going.
- 15:35Speaker 1: To need to get to a point like we do
- 15:36Speaker 1: need to see that transition. I don't think that it's
- 15:38Speaker 1: anything like it's not going to become acceptable down the
- 15:41Speaker 1: track for us to have massive coal mines. We are
- 15:44Speaker 1: going to have to look too different.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Been reading the news, but all of these other countries
- 15:49Speaker 4: are expanding their coal mining industries because Australia is shutting
- 15:53Speaker 4: its down and so you're just buying coal from other places.
- 15:56Speaker 2: So you reckon from the other perspective days.
- 15:58Speaker 4: That we're just going to that we've got the cleanest
- 16:00Speaker 4: and best coal in the world and we can't export
- 16:03Speaker 4: it and we're trying to shut down our own reliable
- 16:07Speaker 4: power system. What Meanwhile, you know there's currently over a
- 16:11Speaker 4: thousand coal fired power stations under development.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Now you know obviously that's why we've got the likes
- 16:18Speaker 1: of Matt Canavan in Queensland saying that he will well
- 16:21Speaker 1: that you know that he's realistically, we're going.
- 16:24Speaker 4: To Canavan is a realist what's going on, but he
- 16:30Speaker 4: sees what's going on in the world.
- 16:32Speaker 2: He's not going to get.
- 16:39Speaker 4: The nets.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Don't see what's going on in the rest of the world.
- 16:43Speaker 4: Your mind.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Decade decades we've been putting up with this lot.
- 16:47Speaker 4: Look co demand globally, it's increasing.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Script Barnaby has written your script. David it's just the
- 16:57Speaker 3: thing is Australia.
- 17:00Speaker 5: When it comes to climate change action, when it comes
- 17:03Speaker 5: to committing to any sort of any sort of levels
- 17:06Speaker 5: of reductions of carbon of.
- 17:09Speaker 4: The countries targets, the countries the targets.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Thing are never going to agree.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Now, Morrison needs to be very careful, Katie, because it's
- 17:25Speaker 5: the killing season for leaders that want to go into
- 17:29Speaker 5: this space. Look what they did to Malcolm Turnbull. All right,
- 17:33Speaker 5: they haven't taken the same Prime.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Minister to an election.
- 17:37Speaker 5: And seriously, the fact of the matter is is that
- 17:41Speaker 5: they will not do anything. And I was the one
- 17:43Speaker 5: that said that because the Liberals only have to get
- 17:46Speaker 5: to about fifty six seats, all right, the Nats will
- 17:49Speaker 5: bring them twenty one or two to give give them
- 17:52Speaker 5: back in. So you'll have Barnaby Joyce out in the
- 17:54Speaker 5: regions ramping it up like it's going to be the
- 17:57Speaker 5: end of the world if Labor get elected, and you'll
- 17:59Speaker 5: get Scott Morrison and Freedenburg in the city's talking about
- 18:02Speaker 5: the need to transfer to renewable energy.
- 18:05Speaker 3: That's the mix that they like.
- 18:06Speaker 5: And that's why I said when Morrison got Barnaby Beck
- 18:09Speaker 5: as Leader of the NAT's started doing his cartwheels because
- 18:12Speaker 5: he knows that every political party has got the terrorist wing,
- 18:17Speaker 5: and that's the National Party. When it comes to climate change.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Election, Labor got wiped out, Poor, almost lost his seat
- 18:29Speaker 4: in Hunter, almost lost his seat. Now he's retiring. The
- 18:34Speaker 4: question is will Labor be able to hold that seat
- 18:37Speaker 4: or will it go to.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Well Dave's climate changes in an issue.
- 18:42Speaker 5: So we're thinking in the federal election, will climate changes
- 18:45Speaker 5: and the issue?
- 18:46Speaker 3: And I'm saying to it.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Well, let's take a bit of a change of pace.
- 18:51Speaker 1: While I'd love to talk about climate change for another
- 18:53Speaker 1: five minutes, I'd rather talk about the NRL Finals this weekend,
- 18:57Speaker 1: and we actually know that the Queensland premier anistone to Palichet.
- 19:01Speaker 1: The States recorded six new COVID nineteen cases as multiple
- 19:04Speaker 1: sites in Brisbane are on alert and authorities are scrambling
- 19:09Speaker 1: to trace contacts and casting doubt over Sunday's NRL Grand Finals.
- 19:15Speaker 1: So there are four of these cases are locally acquired,
- 19:19Speaker 1: with one of those causing a little concern as it
- 19:21Speaker 1: was detected in a truck driver who was in the
- 19:23Speaker 1: community for a week and stayed in two hotels and
- 19:26Speaker 1: a guest house, prompting calls for more truckies to get vaccinated.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I tell you.
- 19:31Speaker 1: What, Queensland's going to go berserk if the foot he
- 19:33Speaker 1: gets canceled.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Oh if they shut down that no way. King George
- 19:38Speaker 5: Square has been renamed the King Wally, so it.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Should be, so it should be. Dave's looking about their days.
- 19:47Speaker 4: I'm completely deflated with the NRL scene two weeks two
- 19:52Speaker 4: weeks ago the Eels, Yeah, Territory Eels lost, yepit September
- 20:00Speaker 4: then okay, well and then and then of course last
- 20:03Speaker 4: week a few days ago, the storm. Quite. I was
- 20:09Speaker 4: about to say, I don't care about I just hope
- 20:13Speaker 4: that how don't win.
- 20:14Speaker 5: Well, that sort of makes you sound like you can
- 20:20Speaker 5: watch the curtain Raiser.
- 20:21Speaker 1: My brother Bean is coaching the Tweed Tweed Sea Gulls
- 20:24Speaker 1: in my nephew Brent is playing, so it'll be well,
- 20:31Speaker 1: like it'll be a good game. They're playing against win
- 20:33Speaker 1: the Sea Gulls, so it's a curtain Raisers.
- 20:37Speaker 2: It's going to be good because they got the Curtain
- 20:40Speaker 2: on the TV.
- 20:40Speaker 3: At about eleven o'clock and you get Rugby League right.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Through the day, so you'll have to watch ying.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Yeah, my brother Bean is he's playing.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Yes, Brent was playing in Locke on the weekend, but
- 20:52Speaker 1: I don't know what position it will get running this weekend.
- 20:55Speaker 2: We'll wait and see.
- 20:56Speaker 5: It would be interesting, I reckon. I think Penrith might
- 20:59Speaker 5: get I don't know. Cuts have the easier prelim final.
- 21:03Speaker 5: They waped Manly. Yeah, everyone loves seeing Manly beaten. That
- 21:09Speaker 5: was Tommy Turbo got the Daly hemls.
- 21:11Speaker 1: I really like it when there's not a Queenside team
- 21:14Speaker 1: in the in the finals, and I know that I
- 21:16Speaker 1: still class Melbourne as a queensad team even though they're not,
- 21:20Speaker 1: because they have a lot of Queens.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. Maybe I might go for Penrith.
- 21:25Speaker 3: They dropped made a lot.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Of mistakes Melbourne last week and they lost two players
- 21:28Speaker 5: to Hia in the first half, which I sort of
- 21:32Speaker 5: asked the question that they should have that medical sub
- 21:34Speaker 5: for the first half because once they'd lost two only
- 21:38Speaker 5: just got beat but down to seventeen verse fifteen, which
- 21:42Speaker 5: made it hard and they.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Dropped a lot of ball.
- 21:44Speaker 5: But full credit to Penrith and their little half back
- 21:47Speaker 5: Nathan Cleary up against Reynolds this week. So those two
- 21:52Speaker 5: and Reynolds going to the Bronx next year, So I
- 21:55Speaker 5: just hope he gets through the game without getting an injury.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Injuries side next year with him. He's a friend.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Shockne Bennett.
- 22:05Speaker 5: Oh you reckon he'll seventy one last game coach in South.
- 22:10Speaker 4: What an unbelievable record.
- 22:12Speaker 1: He has, unbelievable record, Yeah, he has. And he is
- 22:15Speaker 1: a great coach, no matter what people say about him.
- 22:17Speaker 1: I know he's always a bit sour faced when he
- 22:19Speaker 1: does those press conferences, but.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Geez, you could never knok he's coach.
- 22:23Speaker 5: He got asked to leave a pub after the game
- 22:25Speaker 5: apparently because I'm gonna have a happy.
- 22:26Speaker 4: Hour for that.
- 22:34Speaker 3: They'll go close.
- 22:35Speaker 5: But I think Penrith after last year getting beat Yeah, yeah,
- 22:40Speaker 5: I just reckon that they might have a little bit
- 22:42Speaker 5: more X factor in there in their back line and
- 22:44Speaker 5: on that particularly the left edge. There you go, you
- 22:47Speaker 5: heard it first.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Well, there you go.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Let's wait to see what happens this weekend. Always great
- 22:53Speaker 1: to have you both on the show for the beginning.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Tolder and Damian Hale. We will catch you again next week.
- 22:59Speaker 3: No worries. Wolfe takes you when you
