Veterinary clinics around Western Australia continue to feel the squeeze as staff shortages are causing many clinics to close their books to new patients and emergency centres across the metropolitan to frequently go on bypass.
Owner of the Fremantle Animal Hospital and West Coast Vet Hospital in Fremantle, Garnett Hall, told Millsy and Karl Covid cannot take the full blame, as this issue has been building for years.
"Here in WA we only have one university capable of producing Vets and they do a great job but they've only got so many places that they can fill - and the number is not quite enough to fill the gaps that already exist in the profession," Mr Hall said.
"I don't know many new graduates who would be happy with a starting salary of $52,000 in the veterinary profession - if they had put five years of really difficult effort in one of the hardest to get into courses and graduate with at least $100,000 of hex debt."

"Speeding is the biggest issue - quite honestly no one knows how to prevent all road crashes, people just won't accept the guidance and the enforcement that they're given."

With no elves on hand, there were plenty of hiccups as Millsy made his way through the shopping centre greeting visitors.

London: The Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary was more unexploded munition than bombshell we’d been promised.
Nevertheless, the three hours of television did contain a few nuggets of information as the couple reflected on their first date, secret courtship and engagement.

The Australian Federal Police is bracing for a surge in Australians falling prey to fake delivery scams as criminal syndicates exploit the Christmas shopping period.
Chris Goldsmid, AFP Commander of Cybercrime Operations is warning Australians to be extra vigilant when shopping online during the silly season.
"The scams we are talking about are the text messages and emails that you receive indicating that you have a package on the way and trying to get you to click a link or open an attachment," he told Millsy and Karl on 6PR Breakfast.
"A few things to look out for are anything that if anything is unsolicited or unexpected that is a big red flag, a request for your personal or financial details as legitimate delivery companies do not ask for those types of information that's another red flag, a sense of urgency or if the link doesn't look quiet right - contact the company through a legitimate channel by googling them."

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford told Millsy and Karl on his regular 6PR Breakfast segment that Kirstie's involvement in politics and vocal support of Trump, may have contributed to the lack of tributes from celebrities.
"I have seen a few more in the past couple hours - I'd say probably only 7 or 8 big name people have come forward to pay tribute to her and I'd say the best was Jamie Lee Curtis who worked with her," he told Millsy and Karl.
"A lot of people basically cancelled her because of her political beliefs."

WA Premier Mark McGowan is allowing China to own more of the supply chain of everything that powers our digital and electronic world and open up WA's critical minerals to more Chinese ownership at a time when Japan, the US, South Korea and India want that type of economic and technological partnership.
The comments from Strategic Analysis Australia director Michael Shoebridge come as McGowan today meets representatives from up to 30 state-owned entities and private Chinese investors at Crown Perth, at a time of rising tension in the Indo-Pacific.
"The Premier is just drinking his own Kool-Aid on this, about the power of a premier, that is a wonderful thing for the people in Beijing to see him thinking like that," he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.
"McGowan continuing deepening his embrace of Chinese regime figures, like the ones he's meeting today, tells Beijing that Australian political leaders are willing to trade off national security and human rights for business cash.
"And it also tells them Australia has political fault lines between the state levels of government and Canberra... both those things are bad."

Broome's ranking as Australia's top tourist town caused much conjecture with 6PR Breakfast listeners on Thursday morning.

The Halls Creek council has voted 4-3 in favour of the Kimberley Hotel's request to to build a 590-metre electric fence around the pub to stop an escalation in thefts and break-ins.
It's a pretty reluctant application and it comes at a significant cost," said Kimberley Accommodation Group director Martin Peirson-Jones, who did not want to divulge the cost of the fence to 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker.
The pub, 2600km north of Perth, is one of the only accommodation options for essential FIFO staff such as doctors, nurses and trades workers, but they are being harassed by local youth gangs prominent in the area while damage to property at the hotel is ongoing and significant.
"Stolen cars, threats to comfort or safety to staff and guests, property damage ... it's a mounting toll in terms of a dollar sense," Peirson-Jones said.

Witnesses to a crash in Kelmscott say it's lucky no one was seriously hurt after a police vehicle crashed through a brick wall after being accidentally rammed by another car.
The police car ploughed through a brick fence at the intersection of Clenham Way and Grasmere Place just before 8pm on Thursday.
6PR producer Katie Ruska's parents live close to the crash scene and she told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the police car was accidentally rammed by a car while trying to pull over another vehicle.
"I was dropping stuff off to my parents and when I pulled up it was just bizarre, there were flashing lights and there was a car through the wall and it was like 'wait, is that a normal car? No, it's a police car' ... it was just really bizarre," she said.

Former Fremantle coach Ross Lyon could make a stunning return to the club he quit to coach the Dockers after St Kilda parted ways with senior coach Brett Ratten following an internal review.
Ratten's sacking comes just three months after he signed a two-year extension with the Saints, who were in finals contention last season before a second-half fadeout.
The 51-year-old took over St Kilda as caretaker coach midway through 2019 when Alan Richardson was sacked and was a well-liked figure during his three seasons in charge.
6PR sports presenter Paddy Sweeney told Breakfast host Gareth Parker that club powerbrokers believed the Saints were "irrelevant".

A coalition of Australian parenting researchers and advocates is pushing for new laws to make it a criminal offence for parents to smack their children.
Their call comes after the first Australian national child maltreatment study shows 16-24-year-olds who were smacked repeatedly by their parents were nearly twice as likely to develop anxiety and depression later in life.
Australian Catholic University’s Institute of Child Protection Studies director Professor Daryl Higgins, who is part of the Parenting and Family research alliance, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the early findings show some interesting impacts smacking had on children later in life.
"We found that 62 per cent of 16-24-year-olds had experienced four or more instances of physical punishment during their childhood, so we know it's still a common experience of young people who's childhood is not that far away," he said.

A leading academic from Curtin University says obesity is complex and simplistic narratives of the past focused on diet and exercise has not worked as the prevalence in Australia has continued to increase.
Curtin University Dr Blake Lawrence from the School of Population Health is the lead author of a new paper published today from the Sax Institute that talks about Australia's public health system and how it should address "injustice" faced by people living with obesity in schools, workplaces, the healthcare setting, their personal lives and on social media.
The research calls on Australia's public health system to help address "simplistic" stereotypes that people living with obesity are "lazy", and overhaul the way the nation deals with the disease.
"Obesity is driven by psychological, social and environmental factors that continue to perpetuate why people continue to gain weight in Australia ... and weight stigma is one of these rick factors that continues to increase why people gain weight," he told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker.

Veteran reporter and 6PR sports broadcaster Mark Readings says seeing all the tributes and reaction in recent days to the 20-year anniversary of the Bali bombings has been an emotional roller-coaster.
Readings, who miraculously found himself in between the twin blasts at Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club while there on holiday with his family, automatically plunged back into his TV reporting role in the aftermath and also spent the one-year and 10-year anniversary of the blasts in Bali.
But he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast that being at home in Perth rather than Bali during the anniversary this time around brought up a range of different emotions, before he broke down discussing the texts and messages of support he has received in recent days.
"I'm going back tomorrow and that's for a holiday, and obviously I'll go pay my respects ... but it's [the media coverage] quite confronting, it's all sort of hit me in the face the last couple of days... it's triggered a lot of memories," Readings told Parker on Breakfast.

The operators of Rockingham General Hospital do not believe claims a man may have been sent to the morgue while he was still alive are true, saying senior doctors said what was noticed inside the man’s body bag was not unusual.
Hospital bosses will investigate whether death certificate procedures and protocols were followed after the death of 55-year-old Kevin Reid early last month but not whether he was alive when placed in a body bag and taken to the morgue. That is a matter for the coroner.
South Metropolitan Health Service chief executive Paul Forden said the hospital was launching an investigation into why the death of Reid was dated September 6 on paperwork - the day after he was considered deceased by medical staff.
Forden was responding to claims made by a doctor to the Coroner’s Office, reported by WA Business News, that he found Reid inside the body bag on September 6 with limbs in positions different to how he had been left, a tear on his arm that had been bleeding and his eyes open despite them being closed before he was taken to the morgue.

When it comes to tipping, one Australian state outshines the others for generosity.
Tasmanians take the crown for being Australia’s most generous tippers, while NSW folk are the least generous, while Western Australians are the second-most generous state, leaving on average $20, above the national mean of $16.06.
Zeller director of growth Josh McNicol told 6PR Breakfast stand-in hosts Julie-anne Sprague and Mark Gibson while there were no definitive reasons some states tended to tip more, tip values were likely linked to hospitality culture and customer service.
"You think back five years ago, Australia didn't really have a tipping culture," he said.

There are claims that school teachers are being driven away from the profession due to a growing number of problem parents who are threatening or harassing staff.
WA Primary Principals Association president Niel Smith told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast that some school leaders were forced to resort to taking out violence restraining orders against problem parents, who increasingly have more contact with teachers thanks to modern technology.
Breakfast listener and 10-year teacher Mick told Parker he believes part of the problem with rising parent aggressiveness was that too much autonomy was given to school children at a young age.
"We've gone from a teacher-centred approach to a child-centred approach... quite often young students are going home telling parents they've been treated poorly ... when in fact they've not and I think it has to do with how we look at education today," he said.

"He's got the week off this week and then will do as much as he can ... he can't wait to get out there," Ryan said.

Queensland University of Technology food retail expert Gary Mortimer told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker grocery stores manipulate customers into spending more money using psychological tricks.

Former Fremantle coach Ross Lyon has officially commented on his interest in the vacant Essendon coaching job, while making his intentions even murkier.
6PR sports presenter Paddy Sweeney told Gareth Parker on Breakfast he believes Lyon's comments – made on Nine's Footy Classified last night – were intended to confuse so he didn't appear desperate to return to AFL coaching.
"I think he's interested to test the waters, but I don't know if he's keen on running the process, this is what eventually tipped out of going for the Carlton job," he said.
"As I see this, he's trying to declare a bit of interest... 'hey I'm open to chat to people, so you guys chat with me, but I don't want to go chips all in because I don't want to be seen to be failing at another bid'."

Popular Australian singer John Farnham is in a stable condition facing a long recovery in hospital after successfully undergoing a mammoth surgery to remove a cancerous tumour.
Entertainment reporter Peter Ford revealed on 6PR Breakfast the 73-year-old had "part of his jaw removed" as part of his marathon 12-hour surgery.
"The surgery was in two parts, the first was the removal of the tumour of his mouth, which is a very delicate operation obviously," he said.
"And then after that was done, almost immediately the reconstructive team moved in because John did have to have, I'm told, a major part of his jaw removed."

6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker has questioned if WA Police Commissioner is on the right track by continuing to pursue disciplinary action against approximately 50 officers who declined to receive the COVID-19 vaccines.
Police officer Ben Falconer had his cases against the Chief Health Officer and former Police Commissioner Chris Dawson dismissed in the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
"This is where I think it gets interesting... given the controversy around this particular direction and that we are talking about a course of medical action," Parker said.
"I just wonder whether the view of disciplining police might collapse if officers go unpunished for not following a lawful direction ... that it means all of a sudden police officers will start refusing to run into burning buildings, to go to country postings and other directions the police commissioner will make from time to time in order to get the police to do their job."

Entertainment, food and siblings are the three key variables that determine how long it takes for children to have a backseat tantrum.
Research based from responses on 2000 sets of parents found the average child will throw a tantrum 70 minutes into a car journey.
Broadcaster, author, maths genius and numbers geek Adam Spencer told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker the average tantrum time was drastically reduced if other siblings were in the car.
"The big one is S - if there are other siblings in the car to distract, that's when things can go a little bit kooky," he said.

Carlton captain Patrick Cripps has been cleared to play this weekend after the AFL appeals board overturned the tribunal’s decision of a two-match ban on the WA star for rough conduct, crucially boosting the Blues’ finals hopes.

6PR Breakfast and 9 News Perth sports presenter Paddy Sweeney told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the result has divided experts and given Carlton's finals hopes a huge boost.

Batgirl has become the latest film to be added to a growing list of films on the cutting room floor.
The $US90 million film was shot and largely edited but the whole thing will be consigned to dust.

"It's such a massive sum of money," she told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast about the loss film studios took on when cancelling films at the last minute.

"Grandparents often get the kids when their children mess up, there isn't a choice... you could have four, five, six kids standing at the door with a police officer one night who says 'these children are in despair, they're in neglect, can you take them?' and you just look at them and say yes.
"The grandparents lose their friendship base, their superannuation and houses sometimes if they have to go court to get guardianship for the kids, if it's a very unfair situation.

WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch believes the entire police workforce has the adequate skills to deal with domestic violence issues appropriately and relay information immediately to relevant agencies.
An inquest into Queensland police’s handling of the death of Hannah Clarke and her three children prompted WA police minister Paul Papalia to examine how the state’s force handles domestic violence cases. Clarke’s husband Rowan Baxter set fire to the family SUV while she and their three young children were inside.
A coroner found it was “unlikely” police officers, domestic violence service providers, friends or family could have stopped Baxter, but suggested a major funding injection and urgent overhaul of domestic violence training.
"We have nearly 100,000 domestic violence call-outs a year ... so on that first attendance by police, we have to do our part and usually our part is really important at that front end, that first attendance, and really understand the situations we're going to," he told Gareth Parker in his regular Wednesday segment on 6PR Breakfast.

Western Australia's new top cop has promised to focus more on the welfare of police officers and increase numbers in the force, as he begins his term as Chris Dawson's replacement.
Giving his first interview to Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast as the new Commissioner of the WA Police force, Col Blanch said he was very fortunate to have had good mentors and is looking forward to the next five years in the job.
"The important thing for me is to really talk to the troops and see what's keeping them motivated in the job, what keeps them energised, making sure they love their job as I do, and the police are there and ready to serve the community," he said on Tuesday.
"I've started on my first week, I've been down in the Mandurah district, I went out to the Wheatbelt."

Frustrated passengers have received an apology from Qantas after they were forced to sleep at Geraldton Airport overnight, rather than flying to Perth.
Heavy fog caused chaos for nearly half a dozen flights, two of which were forced to land at Geraldton but couldn't leave because the crew had clocked too many hours.
Meanwhile, three other flights from Canberra, Adelaide and Port Hedland were also diverted to airports across WA but did manage to get to Perth.
One customer who slept at Geraldton, Kim, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast that passengers slept on the floor at the airport in six-degree weather and lashed Qantas over its lack of communication.

With the first reading of a new bill in parliament today, Aotearoa New Zealand’s plan to be smokefree by 2025 takes another tangible step forward.
The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill will go to the Health Select Committee for submissions and review, and return to the House in late 2022 to be passed into law.
Assuming the final legislation looks similar to what is being proposed, it will mean Aotearoa New Zealand leapfrogs all other countries to be at the vanguard of tobacco control.
Dr Hester Wilson, from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the policy settings aimed at getting smoking prevalence beneath 5 per cent of the adult population within years.

A proposal to host a leg of the Air Race World Championship series in the Wheatbelt later this year has stalled after the WA government baulked at the $2 million funding request from the Northam shire.
World Air Racing representative Warren Reynolds said he had been working on the plan to bring the event back to Perth for three years.
"It's a perfect place, the track, the airport, the international support ... 180 countries watching this worldwide, and we can't put in a small amount of money.
"Frankly, I think it's pathetic ... [it only cost] a couple of million dollars and Mark's [McGowan] announced that they are spending $70 million this year on new events.
"Well here's an opportunity where you didn't have to do any work, where it's a cookie cutter operation that flew in, ran the race, put the whole thing together, there was really no work for the government to do, other than do some funding."

A proposal to host a leg of the Air Race World Championship series in the Wheatbelt later this year has stalled after the WA government baulked at the $2 million funding request from the Northam shire.
Shire president Chris Antonio said the global series, once known as the Red Bull Air Race that Perth hosted in the 2000s, would have attracted 50,000 spectators to the proposed event site at Northam Racecourse.
"Our town is always looking for air events, we have a history of them here," he told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker, in reference to several world ballooning championships the town holds.
"It would probably bring $10 million to the state, once people are here, they will visit other parts of the state - the return on investment would be fantastic, not only for us but every other region and a lot of metro areas as well."

Originally from the United States, this week's West Aussie Great on 6PR Breakfast has been involved at aviation at Jandakot Airport for the last three decades, teaching thousands of people to fly and helping launch their commercial and private aviation careers.
After meeting his now-wife when a carrier docked in Fremantle, he moved to Perth in 1984 and built a fleet of 16 planes. The ex-US navy pilot is now selling his Air Australia International business.
"Failure is not an option, how bad do you want to suffer to succeed? That's really where I come from," he told Parker about establishing his business in Perth in the early 1990s with only $9000 cash and no line of credit.

WA Farmers Federation CEO Trevor Whittington told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast comments from Agriculture and Food Minister Alannah MacTiernan that hosed down fears of a local “catastrophe” from foot and mouth disease were wrong.
He said an outbreak would eventually stop meat and milk being consumed in WA households.
"The brutal reality we get an FMD outbreak in the south-west of the state, there'll be no milk, no meat on the shelves within hours, because the mad rush will be 10 times worse than on toilet paper during COVID," he told Parker on Friday.

The heads of WA's three school sectors have written a joint letter asking parents to send their kids to school in masks as a fresh Omicron wave sweeps through the state ahead of term three beginning this week.

"Are kids wearing them, will parents get on board? I have to say that when I move around the community, I don't see all that many people wearing masks in shopping centres, for example," Parker said.

'Row Your Boat' told the John Hughes Rumour File a couple of weeks ago that the AFL was considering an idea for players to travel in boats along the Yarra River for its 2022 grand final parade.
The rumour was confirmed on 6PR Breakfast, with The Age this morning reporting the AFL is considering having players travel on boats to Birrarung Marr, before disembarking and riding in the back of utes to the MCG precinct. That plan was also mentioned by Eddie McGuire today on Melbourne radio.
A grand final parade on water was first mooted by City of Perth mayor Basil Zempilas last year, when Perth hosted the AFL decider but couldn't hold a parade due to the pandemic.
"I'm going to give Baz [Zempilas] credit here, because he suggested exactly this last year after the AFL didn't want a traditional parade because of COVID, and he got absolutely no traction with them," 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker said.

Better known for enjoying a few beers after a long day in the field, Ponting says his entry to the celebrity wine game is no gimmick, and West Australians can judge for themselves with the wines on show at the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre's annual foodie event.
Despite wading into a cluttered category that includes pop star Kylie Minogue and fellow cricket legend Ian Botham, Ponting told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast his love for wine grew after first dating now wife Rianna.
"My background was more of a beer and barbecue upbringing... the journey started when I met my wife (Rianna), she was probably a little bit more refined than me at that stage," he told Parker.

A solar storm on a direct path to hit Earth could cause disruptions to GPS, radio and satellite communications.
The “major” storm will see a temporary disturbance of Earth’s magnetosphere, caused by a solar wind shock wave interacting with its magnetic field.

A patron at the stadium, who happens to work in sales for Nine – owner of Radio 6PR – faces a five-year ban from Rugby Australia for the incident for calling Tasmanian-born England coach Eddie Jones a traitor at half time and after the game.
"I reckon this is way over the top, surely you can go to a footy game and shout out things ... not racist things, you shouldn't threaten people," Parker said.
"But I don't think it's a problem to call an Australian working for another country a 'traitor'."
Jones told the Sydney Morning Herald one of the men who abused him had privately emailed to apologise.

There are fresh concerns over gun safety after two software engineers pinpointed locations of Perth houses with guns.
Their estimates were based off a controversial and so-called de-identified map released by WA Police, which angered gun owners but WA Police Minister Paul Papalia said the data was too broad and anyone trying to pick a location of a firearm owner would just be “guessing”.
National Shooting Council national secretary Neil Jenkins told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the ease with which houses were pinpointed using the police map was a huge safety risk should the data fall into the wrong hands.
"We've been provided with maps that show the houses, even to garages were the safes are stored, believe it or not," he said.

There are growing concerns that social media platform TikTok's China-based employees are able to access Australian user data.
Security adviser and chief executive at Canberra-based cyber defence consultancy Internet 2.0, Robert Potter, says TikTok’s privacy standards are ‘‘fundamentally incompatible’’ with Australia.
"There's enough users across the world outside of China to try to protect user privacy and comply with regulations, so there's a fair chance we'll be able to hit a different standard," he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.
Chinese cyber security laws require Chinese companies to store certain data and allow Chinese authorities to conduct spot checks of their operations.

The scam is similar to the recently orchestrated post on Oliver Peterson's fake profile, where it attempts to lure people in by saying they had won a prize and had to share their personal details including address, phone number and bank details in order to receive it.
Meg Coffey, Social Media Expert, told Mark Gibson on 6PR Breakfast that these types of scams happen all the time, and that Meta Facebook "just doesn't care."

"It was remarkable because it uplifted everyone in the community," Dawson said, recalling how even hard-nosed prisoners cheered upon learning of the news.

Three years after the old proposal to build a surf park at Alfred Cove collapsed, a new proponent has signed a 21-year lease with the state government for an alternative $100m project in Jandakot that contains all the bells and whistles.
Touted as the biggest surf park in the southern hemisphere, with 150m-long waves, it will be built with special government assistance to guide it quickly through red tape.
Aventuur chairman Andrew Ross, who was part of the old proposal that was rejected, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the new site wasn't available the first time he began exploring options for a wave park in Perth.

The eyes may be able to signal neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD and ADHD, according to new research from Flinders University and the University of South Australia.
Researchers have found that recordings from the retina could identify distinct signals for both Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder, providing a potential biomarker for each condition.
Research optometrist at Flinders University, Dr Paul Constable, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the preliminary findings were promising for improved diagnoses and treatments in the future, after a diagnostic test measuring electrical activity in the retina found children with ADHD had higher overall ERG energy, and children with ASD showed less.
"Because the eyes are connected to the brain, they kind of link up together... it's a lot easier talking to the eye than to look into the brain, so to speak, so we have a fairly simple test that we can do, that looks at the electrical activity of the retina, which kind of mirrors we think the actual activity going on in the brain," he said.

Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says it's not the time to change horses when it comes to economic management, despite soaring inflation on his government's watch.

"With respect to inflation, it is being driven by international factors," Frydenberg said.
He acknowledged cost-of-living pressures were real and pointed to $40 billion of tax relief since the start of the pandemic, while noting inflation growth was higher in other countries.

Gareth Parker has lambasted opposition leader Anthony Albanese after he "stumbled at the first hurdle" on day one of the federal election campaign.
Mr Albanese on Monday could not answer what the Reserve Bank’s official cash rate or national unemployment rates were.

Former West Coast premiership player Will Schofield has used a loophole in the AFL's top-up player rules for clubs affected by COVID to make a shock return in this Sunday's western derby at Optus Stadium.
The 33-year-old, who has forged a career in the media – including at radio 6PR – since retiring in 2020, has been training in secret and will greatly aid an Eagles side in dire need of players with experience, after the club was forced to blood six debutants last Sunday against North Melbourne in the wake of 14 team changes, mostly due to the league's health and safety protocols around COVID.
