  Speaker 1: It's too early early truly for what. It's too early
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: for this.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: And now, just to change the mood a little bit, Lisa,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: what has you feeling irritable, nettlesome, snarky, testing and tetchy
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: this morning?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Just to reiterate, it's never too early for the Style Council,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: but it is too early for this now. Look, this
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: did happen on Wednesday, but we didn't get a chance
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to talk about it, and it's kind of doing my head.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: In the Perth mother and her young son lucky to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: escape injury after a water filled balloon thrown from a
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: leadable overpass smashed right through her windscreen, right through it,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: right on the driver's you know side. Did you see
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the picture?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Terrifying and it was one of her car was one
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of three cars damaged by the balloon attack. She had
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: just left Lake Manga and was driving with her three
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: year old song when this happened. It was there's an
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: overpass near the intersection of the streets and a Lake
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Maunga drive and.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: The drive under crutch.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Goblins were up there throwing water goblins water goblins throwing
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: off the overpart and.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they thought it was hilarious at the time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: They did as she was luckily only doing about forty
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: k's when the impact shattered the glass. Because you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I could have.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it hadn't been busy time and they were
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: doing a higher speed.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So they called the police, and you know, the police
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: came to investigate, and the kids still came back even
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: though the police were there. They came back with more
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: balloons for another round.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Because there's usually no consequences for these actions.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: This happened on May seventeen, by the way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And the police, the police can take them in, yes,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and even if they make it to the courts, what happens.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Not much, No, not much, And this is a consequence action.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: This is why I was so interested to read some
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of the comments on this story, and there's several calls
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: for Singapore.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Style always comes up as an example six.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Of the best. We used to go them at the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: school when you got the cuts. But this one made
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: me laugh as someone said, you need to enclose some
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of these problematic pedestrian crossings. I know it's not asthetically pleasing,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but safety goals can be achieved creatively, and someone wrote
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: underneath it, how about enclosing the offenders instead, and yes,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: this is the thing, and nothing happens. There's no deterrent
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: because there's no consequence. And you said that something happened
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: very similar in Sydney.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Well, actually it was in Brisbane. It has happened in Sydney,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: but it was reported in Brisbane earlier this month. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: drive bys using slingshots using heavy lead fishing weights.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's unbelievable.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And so one person, one lady ended up with severe
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: jaw injuries. Others were struck in the back and the hand. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: there was severe I mean as there would be slingshotting
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: lead weights that you use for fishing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you and I are on what.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Happened to I think there have been some charges but
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: nothing well obviously nothing has happened yet. But will anything happen,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that's a big question.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: On the wrist. You and I are old enough to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: remember when there was some idiots dropping rocks off freeway
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: overpasses on the Quanana and someone was killed. Yes, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you say, oh, someone's going to get killed. Well someone
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: did get killed. A young guy just in a little
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: little v doub or something, driving along minding his own
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: business and a rock came through the windscreen and killed him.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Don't do this.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Stuff, which is why there needs to be consequences for
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the action so it doesn't happen again.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Exactly, because if you kill someone you should go to jail.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Murder absolutely not.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to or it was an accident and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it was Manslin.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: What did you think was gonna happen?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Exactly could happen? In related news, an AFL fan but
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: obviously not a West Coast one ban for five years
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: for throwing a lemon.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Ruben jim bag for five years.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Apparently he had another one ready to go, but it'll
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: be another five years before he gets a chance to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: chuck it. Five years.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Harder, you know, than the courts.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And poor old Ruben Jimbi, well he's he's out for
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a while too,
