David SpeersHOST
What worries you most about the lack of mental health services, particularly in rural and regional areas?
Pat McGorryGUEST
Well, I think this has been a concern that's been building for the last 10 or 15 years, culminating, for example, in Victoria with a royal commission in which it was clearly revealed that the state mental health system was broken, to quote the premier at the time, Dan Andrews.
Pat McGorryGUEST
We've seen in New South Wales as well a collapse of the public mental health system.
Pat McGorryGUEST
And this has been a public policy almost train wreck, you could say, that's been building over the last 30 years since deinstitutionalization when the old mental hospitals, the standalone mental hospitals, were closed.
Rowan WenHOST
Now, listeners might remember that Seb used to work for a TV show called A Current Affair, which screens on the Nine Network here in Australia.
Rowan WenHOST
And Seb was the journalist who managed to get his hands on the triple O call that Daniel Andrews made six and a half minutes after his car ran down Ryan Millman.
Rowan WenHOST
So Seb left Nine and he moved to the Herald Sun.
Rowan WenHOST
And on Tuesday, he messaged me to say he was onto something that he thought I thought would be good news, right? But then he didn't call me back or text me or anything.
Rowan WenHOST
Yeah, and there's a couple more things the public probably should know about this particular investigator and the conversation that Kel had.
Rowan WenHOST
The first is that this investigator was previously a member of Victoria Police, right? So she's worked for VicPol and she's reportedly friendly with Assistant Commissioner Brett Caron.
Rowan WenHOST
And listeners would know that Curran was Daniel Andrews' chief of staff on the day of the crash.
Rowan WenHOST
We've got the phone records to show that he was part of the phone tree where they rang around and talked about it as all sorts of evidence was being destroyed and the cars being moved and stuff like that.
Mark LevyHOST
Look, the other thing I wanted to float, and this is just a bit of a more of a lighthearted one, given it's a Friday and I'm I'm sure there's somebody you'd like to celebrate today.
Mark LevyHOST
I know that it's World Teachers Day.
Mark LevyHOST
Today we are celebrating World Teachers Day, which recognises primary, secondary and early childhood teachers across the education system.
Mark LevyHOST
We're talking about 170,000 plus primary, secondary and early childhood teachers working in this state alone.
Mark LevyHOST
And what it does this day, it celebrates quality teaching and inspirational teachers.
Mark LevyHOST
And look, I know we have a lot of teachers who listen to the show.
Mark LevyHOST
So first and foremost, I want to acknowledge you and the important role you play in the classrooms across Australia.
Mark LevyHOST
But I thought to myself this morning, and I've got some roses for Mr.

Caleb BondHOST
Quite an extraordinary change from the way things are currently done, but I think there's a good argument for more scrutiny of government and this would in some way provide it.
Carly DouglasGUEST
I'm sure a lot of Victorians would be very excited about the prospect of the Allen and Andrews era cabinet documents being released.
Carly DouglasGUEST
There'd be information, obviously, on COVID, on crime.
Carly DouglasGUEST
There'd be a whole heap of things that maybe people didn't even expect sitting in there waiting to be revealed.
7 MINS LATER
Caleb BondHOST
Not a bad effort, you'd have to say.
Caleb BondHOST
Now, I get that you want the best people for the job, yada yada, but when you're paying them with our money, and most people are dealing with serious cost-of-living pressures at the moment, perhaps you could be a little more judicious with our cash.
Caleb BondHOST
In Victoria, the Andrews-Alan-Carroll Labor government has quietly bailed out the Victorian Pride Centre to stop it from going under.
Caleb BondHOST
The centre, which was already given $40 million in 2016 by Daniel Andrews and the local council to set itself up, hosts events for the LGBT community and houses about 16 gay and transgender groups.
Steve PriceHOST
Well, I think Ben Carroll would like to talk about anything but the debt because he can't talk about the debt, $900,000 an hour to pay off the interest.
Steve PriceHOST
I mean, Joe, the Herald Sun have gone back into the great scandal of the Daniel Andrews statue.
Steve PriceHOST
Has it been built? Is the bronze already poured? Where is it being hidden? Can we find it? I know they've had a reporter snooping around a warehouse trying to find it, but there's now a real push to replace...
Steve PriceHOST
the statue of, I don't know if they're going to change the way it looks, of Andrews with the city's spiritual leader and social worker, the late father, Bob McGuire.
Joe HildebrandPANELIST
It was a bit like sort of Pyongyang where there's nothing behind the skyscrapers.
Joe HildebrandPANELIST
They're just cardboard cutouts.
Joe HildebrandPANELIST
And so I think I don't think Daniel Andrews deserves a statue.
Joe HildebrandPANELIST
I think he's sort of broken the spirit of the state and the economy.
David LewisHOST
Maybe some of our listeners in Victoria who have a better view of it can say, oh, no, what you've missed is this factor and that factor, which I'm quite happy to be made aware of.
Eddy JokovichHOST
Also, the Liberal Party was predicted to win the 2022 Victoria election and also the 2018 Victoria election, and that was mainly egged on by the media down there that absolutely hates the Labor Party, but they especially despise Daniel Andrews as well.
Eddy JokovichHOST
So they were... egging on the Liberal Party in 2018 and 2022, the opposite occurred.
Eddy JokovichHOST
Labor won both of those elections in
Deborah GrawkeCORRESPONDENT
Redbridge Research has indicated that Labor has a slim lead over the Liberals when it comes to Indian-Australian voters who have overtaken British expatriates as Australia's largest migrant group.
Deborah GrawkeCORRESPONDENT
Labor has been courting their vote for some time, with former Premier Jacinta Allen choosing a trip to India as her first international visit when taking over from Dan Andrews in 2024.
Deborah GrawkeCORRESPONDENT
Ben Carroll has told SBS Chinese that he's also been nurturing his own connections with the Chinese community.
Ben CarrollSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was a student in China.
Warwick LongHOST
What do you make of those comments from Don Farrell saying, get out of the way and let this deal get passed?
Ben BennettGUEST
Well, it sort of smacks of Dan Andrews' arrogance, doesn't it? They really want to think about their brand and think about being engaging with people who actually know the business.
Ben BennettGUEST
And me representing the dairy industry, I've got the support of the farmers and the processors in my capacity.
Ben BennettGUEST
And this is just...
Ross StevensonHOST
And there's a push for...
Ross StevensonHOST
Dan Andrews' statue to actually be a statue of Father Bob Maguire, who is referred to as a larrikin priest.
Paul DowsleyCORRESPONDENT
Seven News state political reporter, Paul the Pitbull Dowsley.
Ross StevensonHOST
Paul, good morning to you.
