Georgia HayesGUEST
Yeah.
Georgia HayesGUEST
So I worked as a paramedic for about five years, and then a nurse before that, and that was always the job that I'd be like, "Oh, I'll work that for forever." And then after the wedding, I was sort of doing, like, duties with Ambulance anyway, like in the lead-up to the wedding, doing, like, education and social media for Ambulance Victoria.
Georgia HayesGUEST
And then after the wedding, I don't know, I just started posting consistently about the wedding, and then somehow it led into getting management, and now it's my full-time job.
Georgia HayesGUEST
So it's crazy to be able to pivot from, like, completely different careers, like, mostly because of online things that I posted about the wedding.
Trent NikolicHOST
Police remain at the scene.
Trent NikolicHOST
An Ambulance Victoria spokesman said paramedics were called at about 10.45am.
Trent NikolicHOST
So we'll keep you updated throughout the show if anything develops with that.
Trent NikolicHOST
But that's a woman in her 50s taken by ambulance to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with upper body injuries in a stable condition.
Paul HorwellHOST
Yeah.
Paul HorwellHOST
So, so here at the Victorian Pride Centre, obviously we send out lots of, um, emails, um, social media comms.
Paul HorwellHOST
And, um, we did something in the technical called a mail merge yesterday, which means we sent out, uh-
MacaHOST
Oh, yes.

speaker_2UNKNOWN
She's an amazing leader.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
David Southwick is an amazing deputy leader, and I'm not saying that just to, you know, blow smoke up them frankly.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
What I'm saying, um, and why I'm saying it is because as a team, we have very strong views about these issues, and I th- I want Victorians and the Rainbow Community to know, you know, every, every time there's been a march, every time there's been a festival, every time there's been an issue, you know, we have sought to be the first people there.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
When difficult issues have come up like conversion therapy-
Jess WilsonGUEST
It's why our roads are littered with potholes.
Jess WilsonGUEST
Because the interest bill this year is more than Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, and all kindergarten services combined with a billion dollars left over in change.
Jess WilsonGUEST
And getting a handle on our fiscal position, on our financial position here in Victoria, and starting that process of budget repair is the most important thing the next Premier of this state can do.
Michelle GrattanHOST
But do you think you can do that as well as doing all the other things in these first days, uh, without overstretching yourself or some things being missed?
Danny HillGUEST
The problem is that there's no real consequences, and the only thing that a paramedic can really do at that point is after they've already been exposed to that risk.
Danny HillGUEST
What we're saying here is that a, a person who takes out an Ambulance Victoria membership or is a concession card holder where they're exempt from payment, uh, should not receive the benefit of free ambulance cover if they treat our members this way.
Danny HillGUEST
And that would mean that for that trip, for that attendance and for any future trips, uh, they risk paying the full fee, which is-

Right

Lucy BartholomewGUEST
And once we kind of had Dad cleared and out and, you know, he's still got one surgery pending to kind of like fully wrap this thing up.
Lucy BartholomewGUEST
But having, like, the words to put to it, to talking to the paramedics, and we were lucky that Ambulance Victoria came to us and said, "We want to do a story on this because it's Stroke Awareness Week, and it's-- this is like he's quite a good story in showing that you can be so healthy and you can still have these kind of problems." And that was a really good thing because it was something that made Dad talk to the journalist, it made me talk to the paramedics and the journalists.
Lucy BartholomewGUEST
It created this conversation.
Lucy BartholomewGUEST
And it's so much like when Dad had his race at Western States and we made the film called Lucy's Dad, and he missed the finish cutoff by two minutes.
James OswaldHOST
I'm James Oswald.
James OswaldHOST
I'm a paramedic and clinical practice guidelines specialist here at Ambulance Victoria.
David AndersonHOST
And I'm David Anderson, Ambulance Victoria's medical director.
David AndersonHOST
You know, that's a really interesting story you just told there, James, 'cause I suspect most people, even people who see trauma in the pre-hospital setting with some regularity, haven't reflected on the fact that the type of patients that they're seeing over the years is changing.
David AndersonHOST
And I always know whenever I give presentations on trauma to medical students or young paramedics or when I'm overseas, I always make sure to, to run through two scenarios, and one of them is, you know, the archetypal trauma patient, the 18-year-old male whose frontal lobe hasn't fully developed yet, who drives his car off the road.
Ross StevensonHOST
That's a rather good point.
Ross StevensonHOST
Brendan McClennan, CEO of Visit Friendly Victoria.
Ross StevensonHOST
Uh, Brendan, good morning to you.
Ross StevensonHOST
Um, I assume that, that you, um, accept this lock, stock, and barrel.
John AndersonCORRESPONDENT
It takes a, a few hours to get yourself back from, you know, a relatively simple 80,000-person event.
Ross StevensonHOST
Good on you, Brendan.
Ross StevensonHOST
Brendan McClement, CEO of, uh, Visit Friendly Victoria.
John AndersonCORRESPONDENT
Mm-hmm.
Ross StevensonHOST
Yeah.
Russel HowcroftHOST
He walked into the Victorian cabinet and said, "I need 10 million more pounds." And they said, "No worries.
Russel HowcroftHOST
Here you go."
Ross StevensonHOST
Is that right?
40 MINS LATER
Russel HowcroftHOST
There we go.
Ross StevensonHOST
Hey?
Russel HowcroftHOST
He was a Victorian, I think.
