Matthew PantelisHOST
I want to talk about the Adelaide City Council, which has a public relations disaster on its hands.
Matthew PantelisHOST
Its artificial intelligence car, the one equipped with ten or so cameras on the roof, that drives around from dawn till goodness knows when, midnight if not 24-7, and takes happy snaps of cars it detects as being parked illegally, and issues fines of which one quarter, 25%, one in four, need to be revoked.
Matthew PantelisHOST
One in four cancelled on appeal.
Matthew PantelisHOST
25% is an abject failure.
Matthew PantelisHOST
And what's more, it's not after one human check, it's after two people check the photos.
Matthew PantelisHOST
Now, if that's the best the Adelaide City Council and AI can deliver, we have a big problem.
Matthew PantelisHOST
Now councils across the city are taking it up.
Matthew PantelisHOST
Burnside, Mitcham, Mount Barker and Salisbury are opening their tills, ready to reap some of the millions they've seen the Adelaide City Council pocket over the last few years.
Leith ForrestHOST
What a bonkers story this is on Breakfast This Morning with Stacey and Will.
Leith ForrestHOST
One in four AI parking fines have been thrown out by the Adelaide City Council when they were challenged.
Leith ForrestHOST
Interestingly, more suburban councils are set...
Leith ForrestHOST
To follow suit, they're launching similar trials.
Leith ForrestHOST
Mitcham, Salisbury, Burnside, Mount Barker, all beginning initial trials, very similar to the Adelaide City Council's ParkSafe.
Leith ForrestHOST
And I've seen these cars driving around the city from time to time.
Leith ForrestHOST
The council say they're still effective, despite the fact that one in four reviewed have been withdrawn since June of 2024.
10 MINS LATER
Leith ForrestHOST
8223 0000.

Caleb BondHOST
And I say I think Charles Woolley's going to make a good Lord Mayor of Tasmania, and I would implore him not to pick up this bit of council policy from Adelaide.
Caleb BondHOST
The Adelaide City Council, they're not the only ones that are doing this, by the way, but the Adelaide City Council has been sending around cars through the city with...
Caleb BondHOST
AI powered cameras on the top of them that look for people committing traffic offences like this.
speaker_4NARRATOR
This is the moment a driver was issued with a $342 parking fine after an AI camera car allegedly caught him stopping a vehicle in a bike lane.
Caleb BondHOST
Bang, Mr AI says you've committed an offence for driving in a bike lane when very clearly what he is doing is reverse parallel parking in a parking spot.
Caleb BondHOST
So anyway, these fines get sent off.
Caleb BondHOST
It turns out that a quarter, 25%, of these AI-generated fines from these newcomers in the Adelaide City Council have been overturned.
Caleb BondHOST
Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that only a quarter of the fines were dodgy.
Graeme GoodingsHOST
Something that generated a lot of comments this morning, if you're listening to 5AA Breakfast, listeners flooded the text line and phone line over parking fines.
Graeme GoodingsHOST
One in four AI-issued parking fines are being thrown out by the City of Adelaide.
Graeme GoodingsHOST
if they're challenged by motorists.
Graeme GoodingsHOST
Suburban councils are now trialling similar technology to crack down on offenders.
Heather Holmes-RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There we are.
Heather Holmes-RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're looking to trial the programs called AeroRanger.
Heather Holmes-RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So while I can't comment on the Tizer article about the city of Adelaide, I can talk you through, you know, the reasons that we're looking at this in Mitcham.
Heather Holmes-RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What we're hearing from our residents and what council is really trying to work with is the cost of living crisis that we're having.
Caley FretzHOST
That was overly dramatic.
Caley FretzHOST
However, Adelaide City Council, and someone just sent this to me on Instagram, just like literally right before we...
Caley FretzHOST
Who
Johnny LongHOST
was it? Who knew we were recording and knew we needed the heads up?
Caley FretzHOST
Yep.
Caley FretzHOST
Thank you, Andre 3000 for sending this over.
Caley FretzHOST
So Adelaide city council has voted to ban fossil fuel advertising.
Caley FretzHOST
That's just happened.
Caleb BondGUEST
which is, of course, sponsored by Santos, and they have in Victoria Square the Tour Village, which attracts tens of thousands of people during the Tour Down Under.
Caleb BondGUEST
And now the Adelaide City Council says, by a vote of five to four, that you can't have advertising for any company related to fossil fuels on council land.
Caleb BondGUEST
So what's the Tour Down Under going to do now? I mean, they're not – the Santos Tour Down Under, as it is – will not be able to advertise on its tour village that it is the Santos Tour Down Under.
Jeremy CordeauxHOST
And what business is it of the Adelaide City Council? I mean, they get into foreign affairs, they get into all sorts of things that have absolutely nothing to do with local government.
Caleb BondGUEST
Well, it was one of the first councils in the country, actually, back in 2019, to declare a climate emergency.
Caleb BondGUEST
Oh, God.
Caleb BondGUEST
I mean, how dumb do you have to be when you've got a big event like the Tour Down Under? which is, of course, sponsored by Santos, and they have in Victoria Square the Tour Village, which attracts tens of thousands of people during the Tour Down Under.

Caleb BondGUEST
Well, it was one of the first councils in the country, actually, back in 2019, to declare a climate emergency.
Caleb BondGUEST
But they've also said, you know, their own rules are that they're meant to have, I think, their 2020 emissions by 2030, and they're not on track to do that.

BruceAUDIENCE
Yeah, how are you going, Lou? G'day, Bruce.
BruceAUDIENCE
With the Adelaide City Council, this legislation that they've passed about the advertising of gas and oil and coal companies and what have you, I think that's just straight out vindictive from those two councillors.
BruceAUDIENCE
against the government because those two councils have always made it well known that they don't want the V8 supercars and they don't want the MotoGP and, well, we know they didn't want the golf course upgrade.
BruceAUDIENCE
Yep.
