Kylie, a south west health care worker received her $3000 cost of living bonus from the state government as part of her negotiated pay offer that was negotiated by the Health services Union.
However, to her surprise the bonus was paid as an income and not a supplement, therefore Kylie lost a third of it to tax and to make matters worse, her Centrelink was also cancelled as a result.
Kylie told 6PR Morningshost Gary Adshead that the amount that was sold as a $3000 upfront payment is not all it's cracked up to be.
"I'm just trying to raise awareness - it is also dependent on the amount of hours you work as to how much you actually get," she told Gary.
Once Kylie's cost of living bonus was taxed, she was left with just $1900.
"I actually felt quiet naive, I feel like I should've known this but I don't feel like I am the only one."
"In some of the messaging and marketing it was definitely left off - the way it was sold is very different."

How can you heal a broken heart?
A new medical trial has launched in hopes to discover the possibility of treating Takotsubo or in simpler terms, ‘broken-heart syndrome’.
Dr Matthew Best, from the Perth Cardiovascular Institute told 6PR Morningshost Gary Adshead that in the late 90's and early naughties the condition became more appreciated.
"The patient would be under significant stress, fighting another disease or emotional stress - and their heart would mimic a heart attack so they'd go to hospital with this chest pain but we'd look at their arteries and there wasn't any blockage," he told Gary.
"So we'd all be scratching our heads like why is their heart behaving like this? So it absolutely exists."
Dr Matthew Best highlighted that the broken-heart syndrome is much less common than a heart attack, and urged listeners to still visit a hospital if you feel symptoms.

As Christmas approaches with staff parties and family gatherings, more Covid-19 cases have been appearing in the community.
Up to 500,000 Australians could be infected with Covid-19 as cases and hopsitalisations continue to rise during the fourth Omicron wave.
Infectious diseases physician and microbiologist, Professor Peter Collignon told 6PR Mornings host Gary Adshead that the communities increase in vaccinations creates less consequences compared to last year.
"It reduces your risk of death or hospitalisation by at least 90% or more, so the situation now with Covid is, provided your vaccinated is of equal chance to you of dying or being seriously ill as influenza is," he told Gary.
"Realistically what are we going to do? Mask mandates don't do much on a population basis. Are we going to close our clubs and pubs again? Are we going to have lockdowns again? None of those are realistic."

No one could forget the confronting vision of the Grenfell apartment building in London going up in flames in 2017, when 72 people lost their lives.
It emerged that aluminium composite panelling, used as part of the building's façade, enabled the original fire to spread rapidly around the apartment block because it was highly combustible.
The discovery sparked a worldwide audit of buildings fitted with several types of this cladding, including here in WA. In March 2019, the WA Health Department identified a number of its assets were fitted with the cladding and therefore posed a major fire risk.
"Core samples of the ACP cladding were taken for laboratory testing to confirm their material type. Immediate action has been taken to ensure the ongoing safety of staff and patients within the hospital," a government statement said afterwards.
"Work will now commence on mitigation planning and assessing replacement options. The department will follow due process to determine the scope of remediation works required."
Opposition health spokesperson Libby Mettam asked in Parliament yesterday if the public could be confident that a tragedy such as Grenfell will not happen at buildings in WA, and was accused of scaremongering and mis-truths by Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson.
"This is a government that has consistently been slow to act, particularly when it comes to the Health portfolio," Mettam told 6PR Mornings host Gary Adshead.
"Here we are three years on [from the audit], and the Minister can't even answer a simple question about whether this work is in hand, despite having the funds to do so.
"There are so many questions to ask [the Health Minister] ... we've got the highest level of ambulance ramping on record, we have a health system on its knees, we have a demoralised workforce... it is unfortunate when it comes to answers, this minister and this government give no confidence they have these issues at hand or take patient safety seriously."

Australian Nurses Federation state secretary Janet Reah will "fight to the bitter end", after the Industrial Relations Commission threatened to deregister the organisation in the wake of failed negotiations with the McGowan government over pay and working conditions, and hasn't ruled out further strikes in the wake of the IRC move.
The IRC wrote to the ANF yesterday warning it was considering summoning the union to "show cause why its registration should not be suspended" after nurses and midwives took statewide strike action last Friday in defiance of IRC orders.
Reah told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings the WA "government seems to think we're a bit stupid".
"We've all got degrees, some of us have post-graduates, some of us have masters, some of us even have PHDs, I'm pretty sure they can read an offer and decide for themselves whether they like it or not," she said in reply to being accused of not selling the government's pay offer to members.

A widow who decided to downsize with her late husband after he was diagnosed with cancer has been left in the dark by one of the state's biggest residential builders about the status of her new home build.
Upset, angry and emotional, building client Jacquie and husband purchased a house and land package from a local building company – which 6PR has decided not to name today – late last year after her husband’s cancer diagnosis forced them to downsize their mortgage.
"When I originally signed up, because I had a lot of trouble when we built our family home, they said 'it's not going to be like that, they have their own builders, their own teams, nothing will affect it' ... that's what I was led to believe," she told 6PR Mornings Gary Adshead.
"They said I just needed to rent somewhere until the end of this year, and that I'd be in my new home by February/March 2023 ... nothing has started yet, not even the slab is down.
"Sadly, in September, my husband passed away and he didn't even get to see any progress of the build, which is sad, and now it's left me dealing with this by myself."

Outright support not withstanding, the Nationals will formally oppose an Indigenous Voice to parliament, in a significant blow to the referendum campaign that opens the door to the Liberal Party to follow suit.
Announcing the decision with Country Liberal Party senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Nationals leader David Littleproud said the party wanted to empower Aboriginal people at a local level, “not create another layer of bureaucracy here in Canberra”.
Littleproud told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings the Nationals will oppose the initiative, ending the prospect of bipartisan support ahead of a referendum as early as next year, as they believe it will only contain a small cohort to represent vast communities.
"We believe in empowering local communities, in this case local elders, because you have local solutions to the challenges in regional and remote communities, you get better outcomes, and you have got to understand because of the sheer geography, that there will be different challenges and opportunities in each community," he said.

"I've got family members in aged care at the moment who have been in and out of public hospitals a lot in the past 12 months ... and it is impossible to have nothing but the greatest of respect for those nurses who put themselves on the line every day to care for people who are not feeling their best," he said.
"I think as a community we're probably disappointed when it comes to industrial action, I think we would prefer that it never gets to this and we understand there is posturing on both sides, that's part of the process.
"We also like our process because it has an umpire, and that's the Industrial Relations Commission."

A midwife in the public hospital system says she feels good about attending today's rally over pay and working conditions because nurses are exhausted, angry and see no other option left but to take a stand.
Sam told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings that no nurses wanted to strike from 7am to 9pm today, the first such action in two decades, but they felt vindicated by the "phenomenal" support from others, including the public and Australian Medical Association of WA.
"Double shifts is an issue, nurses have been doing them for a long time, but it's also about the workloads," she said.
"If you've got five patients for example, and three or four of them require full care, they literally need assistance with every single activity of daily living that they have ... that's a huge toll physically and mentally as well.
"There are nurses getting urinary tract infections because they are going entire shifts without a break, without being able to go to the toilet, they're dedicated to their patients, they are making themselves ill."

"If you go to the Parliamentary Electorate Office guidelines ... there is a problem," said Mornings host Gary Adshead, who broke the story on his return to the 6PR airwaves on Monday.
"The Premier [Mark McGowan] will be out and about at an event in South Perth and we'll ask some questions there."

"The biggest thing in my opinion is making vaping anti-social and to make people realise this product is dangerous."

Some new unusual strategies have been published that could help you dodge some dollars in the current cost of living crisis.
Alan Pears from the RMIT Senior Industry told Simon Beaumont on 6PR Mornings that air fryers are a 'magical' replacement for an oven
"They certainly use half the amount of electricity as your usual conventional electric oven but the big thing is they are fast," he told Simon.
Other hacks include wrapping your windows with bubble wrap, meal prepping and cooking your food in bulk.
"Bubble wrap can be surprisingly effective, although it does block the view a bit but it converts a single glazed window into better than a double glazed window. So instead of costing you hundreds of dollars per square meter it costs you almost nothing."

Anthony Albanese has made an offer to the world at yesterday's G20 Summit in Bali that Australian food exports could help avert global famine, declaring the country's prospects as a green energy giant will prove decisive.
As Australia faces their own issues with train networks, supply chains, tug boats and struggling for farm labor, Albo's comments have raised many eyebrows.
Tony Seabrook, Pastoralists and Graziers Association President told Simon Beaumont on 6PR Mornings that Albanese may have got over excited in making this announcement.
"We cannot produce enough of the finest food in the world to feed all Australians, we do that in great style. There is enough left over to export to feed another 50 million people in other parts of the world.
"But the potential to feed more is absolutely staggering, we just need to figure out what we need to do to get that kind of capacity up and running."

The Union is meeting today with WA Police management for crisis talks as members have been directed to issue 'cautions' rather fines for low-level traffic offences and to block mobile speed cameras in a stark escalation of the ongoing pay dispute between cops and the government.

"The speed operators are there and are visible to drivers coming past - it's in everyone's interest if we do ask our members to continue with our industrial actions then that's a strategy," he told Simon.
"But what I want to say is that I am hopeful that the WA Police executives have listened to us from last week and that we are going to get an offer that is considerably better than the first offer by Friday."
Going into the meeting with a positive mindset, Mick Kelly said he is keeping his foot down on certain negotiations and hopes to get better conditions for WA cops.

With summer approaching, the WA public will be concerned about the presence of sharks.
Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development senior research scientist from the Aquatic Science and Assessment, Mike Travers, says its shark monitoring program aims to mitigate against shark attacks and began in earnest this week.

A damning report on Australia's COVID-19 response called Fault Lines that began in April has found Australia failed its most vulnerable and its bureaucratic decisions lacked compassion.
Funded partly by Andrew Forrest's Minderoo Foundation, the report says schools should've remained opened and border closures and lockdowns were the result of policy failures, with decisions made in the "fog of uncertainty".
Western Sydney University chancellor and former department of prime minister and cabinet secretary Peter Shergold found the economic and social havoc wreaked by government “overreach” found border closures were also avoidable at the pandemic height.
"It was not transparent how decisions were being made, you know how people were being able to go overseas or not, or go across borders," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.
"It seemed to be very inflexible, and it did lack compassion and indeed common sense in many instances."

The Australian Nurses Federation will proceed with industrial action on Wednesday, beginning with a ban on the practice of double shifts, and then overtime and potentially more if the deadlock on its pay and ratio dispute with the government is not resolved a week later.
Australian Nursing Federation WA state secretary Janet Reah, who defeated rival Samantha Fenn by just 56 votes of 4400 cast in Monday's ANF ballot to appoint a new secretary, told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the ANF website crashed after overwhelming feedback from members in response to the WA government's 'olive branch' offer on Tuesday.
"We've had over 2800 responses regarding whether we go ahead with a ban on double shifts," Reah said, adding members were also unhappy at WA's current worker-patient ratio.
"The plan at this point is they need to do an audit of staffing levels on the wards currently and then comparing them to what Victoria's ratio is, for the similar amount of wards."

Indonesia has for weeks been transfixed by a corruption scandal involving provincial governor Lukas Enembe, who is accused of spending at least $56 million in foreign casinos despite an official salary of less than $1,000 per month.
The scandal has now spread to Australia, where Indonesian investigators confirmed they were examining transactions at Crown Casino in Perth and suspicious bank deposits in Perth and Melbourne.
Thomson Reuters Asia Pacific financial crime expert Nathan Lynch spoke to Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings about the developments.
"These are extraordinary allegations... we're talking about significant amounts of money here... despite the allegations, people are supporting him and preventing police from getting to him," Lynch said.

As the Australian Federal Police announced it would provide multi-jurisdiction protection for 10,000 Optus customers who have had 100-point levels of identification stolen, a caller to 6PR Mornings has detailed the outrageous response from the Department of Transport's Success outlet to dozens of West Australians lining up to get new drivers' licences on Friday morning.
Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said on Wednesday that Optus would contact Western Australians who they believe had their drivers licence details released.
"And they’re able to come into a drivers licence centre and get a new one... for free,” she told Perth Live on Wednesday.
But Mornings caller Gio says on Friday he attended the Success DoT outlet and was in a line with about three dozen people looking to get new drivers' licences when they were told the outlet didn't have enough staff to open today.
"I just thought, 'are you serious'?" he told a stunned Liam Bartlett on Mornings.
"This is one of the biggest cyber security breaches in recent times and you're not opening because you don't have enough staff?"
He says the employee told people they could attend the Rockingham outlet "where it would be done quicker, or come back Monday".

A new book launching October 5 explores one of the hardest-fought elections in Australian history and the incredible fallout.
Victory - The Inside Story of Labor’s Return to Power also examines why the major parties will have to look over their shoulders at the Independents and the Teals, whose grip on power has never been stronger.
Author Peter van Onselen says that before the election Anthony Albanese was a largely unknown figure, his profile not helped by the COVID pandemic, despite being federal opposition leader.
"Because it overlapped with COVID he had a very low profile, the state premiers almost had the profile the federal opposition leader would normally have, and he (Albanese) sort of became a nobody," he said.

The federal corruption watchdog will be given power to investigate anyone who tries to induce public officials to engage in dishonest conduct, widening its scope to capture “third parties” in the pivotal reform to improve integrity in government.
The new commission will also be able to probe schemes that allow federal ministers to hand out public funds in discretionary grants, subjecting the “pork barrelling” programs to greater scrutiny when the actions raise concerns about serious or systemic corruption.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, who has driven the legislation, told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings it will be up to the commission to decide what matters it investigates but that "any person" could be probed by the new corruption watchdog.

Anthony Albanese recently showed support for teaching school kids about how the British massacred Indigenous people at school, ahead of a referendum for Australians to enshrine a First Nations voice to parliament.
Australian Aboriginal leader and former Australian Labor Party national president Warren Mundine is an outspoken critic of the move, saying it is "a solution looking for a problem" and suggesting on 6PR Mornings the government focus on lifting Indigenous people out of poverty and creating economic prosperity.
Mundine told Mornings host Liam Bartlett he is finding it "very difficult these days that we are shifting into this new truth about things", giving the recent example of the AFLW decision to ban a minute's silence in respect of the Queen's passing due to Indigenous sensitivities.
"I think this whole thing about the voice is a solution looking for a problem; we've tried this four times in the past and it's failed," he told Bartlett.
"The best thing we can do now is get people educated, get people into jobs, get people to be entrepreneurs who are out there to create businesses, that can then create the jobs.
"Look at land reform where Aboriginal people could own their own house or set up a business in their own communities, which they can't do at the moment."

In the wake of the Queens funeral, the Australian republic debate is beginning to kick off.
Meanwhile, the passage of the proposed referendum on a Voice to Parliament could be a necessary, albeit not sufficient, condition for Australia to become a republic.

Liberal leader David Honey says a new bill due to be introduced into Parliament on Wednesday is simply “rebranding” WA's state of emergency pandemic laws, rather than winding them back.
The unprecedented powers that allowed for WA's intrastate and interstate borders to be closed during the height of the pandemic, and for mandatory lockdowns, were first introduced in March 2020 and have been in place under a rolling system ever since.
Honey told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the proposed new laws, which will expire after two years, are “appalling” as they simply allow the state to go to a “lesser level of alert” and would shock most members of the public.
“The state of emergency will not end, this act simply continues the state of emergency under another name,” he said.

WA’s corruption watchdog has detailed how two people working for the Department of Communities allegedly broke the rules to reap benefits of expensive gifts and hospitality at luxury restaurants over eight years worth $112,000.
Project manager Kerry Ravi and contractor Maria Irdi were both named in a CCC report tabled in Parliament on Tuesday for directing millions of dollars of work to preferred companies, law firm Minter Ellison and accounting firm Grant Thornton, in return for the perks
Corruption and Crime Commission John McKechnie told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the anti-corruption watchdog could not make any findings against Mrs Irdi because the CCC did not have jurisdiction over contractors to government agencies.
"We've hit a bit of a snag ... so you can have the somewhat unusual position where two people, as here, can be sitting at separate desks in the same room, doing the same job, but one is employed by a labour hire company and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the CCC," he said.

One of Perth's largest local councils is considering a redevelopment of the rear lane ways in many of its streets.
Some Town of Bassendean lane ways are said to be dilapidated and in need of attention but the council thinks they are ideal for redevelopment into community spaces.
Bassendean Mayor Kath Hamilton told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the council was eying in excess of 25 laneways, with residents keen to have the opportunity to buy the land and include it in their backyard.
"There's a variety of treatments proposed for these laneways ... these older laneways are a hangover from the last century, where many of them were by-products of earlier subdivisions at the beginning of the century... there's quite a complicated process involved with laneways and right of ways and how to close them."

There were concerns at the time of its announcement in August last year that the Federal Government's quarantine facility at Bullsbrook would be redundant once it was completed.
The $400 million, 500-bed facility, widely endorsed by the McGowan government at the time, is now finished and has been given the title of Centre for National Resilience.
WA Liberal Leader David Honey told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings part of the deal meant WA had to shoulder the running costs, with Serco given the annual $13 million contract, which equates to $35,000 a day.
"I guess one part of it is, there will be pandemics in the future ... but there are a couple of opportunities ... one of the big issues we have in WA and Perth in particular is the issue of homeless people," he told Bartlett.
"If you were going to do that, you'd have wraparound services there.
"Crikey, leaving them sleeping under bridges and in the doorways of the city buildings in Perth and the suburbs, I think is inhumane.
"The other opportunity is ... we've got a critical housing shortage, so if you want to get workers into the state, there's nowhere for them to stay, so there is an opportunity at least until people could find a permanent place to live."

The Queen travelled to WA seven times during her reign, and Perth was the last Australian city she ever visited.
That was in 2011, when Colin Barnett was the Premier and he hosted Her Majesty for three days in Perth before CHOGM, while also meeting her at Buckingham Palace too to discuss CHOGM preparations.
As he tells Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings, he told the Queen the Perth foreshore was to be redeveloped and named after her.
"It was there that I wanted to raise [the naming of Elizabeth Quay], but I was advised by the Brits and the Australian embassy in Perth that we should do it more formally."

Dr Jason Goopy, a music education lecturer at Edith Cowan University and Australian Society for Music Education vice president told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings new research shines a light on the critical role parental values and assumptions play in either influencing or discouraging high achieving students to pursue a career in music.

"Their ability to shape, form and disrupt their child's developing a musical identity was really something that took me by surprise."

Films and TV shows would warn viewers about non-consensual romantic and sexual interactions under proposed new classification guidelines.

Justice Ian Harrison has handed down his verdict in the murder trial of former teacher and rugby league player Chris Dawson, 40 years after his first wife Lynette Dawson vanished from Sydney’s northern beaches.
Dawson, 74, faced a judge-alone trial in the NSW Supreme Court, during which his lawyers argued it was possible Lynette abandoned her young daughters and the family’s Bayview home in January 1982. She was 33 at the time and her body has never been found.
The Crown had alleged Dawson killed his wife and disposed of her body, possibly with assistance, to have an unfettered relationship with a teenage babysitter and his former student, known as JC.
The disappearance was the subject of a 2018 podcast by investigative journalist Hedley Thomas called The Teacher’s Pet, which attracted a global audience to the case.

6PR Mornings host Liam Bartlett has lifted the lid on the hypocrisy of the political donation regulations of state parliament after WA Premier Mark McGowan defended attending a lavish business dinner that featured $1000 bottles of wine.
Gifts to ministers worth more than $300 can only be kept if they pay the difference above the $300, but there is no cap on the hospitality like they receive or accept.
"For example, if the Premier drank a whole bottle of Penfolds Grange last Friday worth a $1000, there's no need to pay any difference between the $300 and $1000," Bartlett said on Friday.
"That tends to stick in the throat of some of our listeners."
One of them is emergency clinical nurse and registered midwife Lorraine Durbin, who felt compelled to email the program after coverage this week of the Penfolds Grange dinner at property developer Nigel Satterley's house.
She told Bartlett how a $50 coffee machine gifted to the staff room for emergency department nurses at Rockingham Hospital was removed because they were told gifts were not allowed to be accepted.
"Shame on you Mr McGowan for slurping very expensive red wine with your property tycoon friend, whilst your nurses cannot have good coffee," she said.

"I drive a Holden Rodeo which is fairly large, and it was easily the size of my car," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.
"I was constantly looking back and we were both checking it was not there."

The skills crisis which has hit every section of the Australian economy is hurting our school classrooms.
The plan to tackle the nation's teacher shortage prompted the Albanese Government to announce a jobs and skills summit in Canberra next month.
Business identities, union leaders, politicians and public servants will spend two days in Canberra trying to come up with solutions to the skills crisis, which has the economy in a chokehold.
WA Education Minister Sue Ellery joined other state education ministers last week in Canberra to discuss the best ways to tackle the teacher shortage ahead of next month's summit.
"It was a good meeting, a breath of fresh air because the Commonwealth was willing to assist the states," she said.
"We're all at various stages on this issue Liam, my colleagues in NSW and Victoria are doing it far tougher than we are, for example I'm advised in Victoria now they are rostering cohorts of kids to do schooling at home once a week just because they don't have enough teachers to fill classrooms, and NSW has advised they will do that as well if they need to."

A prominent constitutional lawyer says revelations former Prime Minister Scott Morrison swore himself into five portfolios is a "bizarre and strange thing to do", given Governor-General David Hurley is able to appoint two ministers to the same portfolio.
"The Governor-General acts on advice, he has no choice but to act on it... so in a funny way, the most important thing about this is that Morrison seems to have succeeded in embarrassing the Crown, which is almost the first duty of a minister not to do," Professor Greg Craven, vice chancellor of Australian Catholic University, told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.
“Turns out he was the world’s first stealth bulldozer.”

The long-time family advocate of seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath, who tragically died of a bacterial infection after waiting hours to see a doctor at Perth Children’s Hospital, has raised concerns after the resignation of Perth Children's Hospital CEO Aresh Anwar just 12 days before an coronial inquest into the young girl's death.
Suresh Rajan said the evidence of Dr Anwar, the bureaucrat in charge of WA's child health division when Aishwarya died, was critical to the coronial inquest but his resignation meant his participation in the inquest was not guaranteed.
Rajan told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings he hoped Dr Anwar had not been made a scapegoat.

A report tabled today to State Parliament has found the State Government has done little in six years to protect subcontractors on projects.

Some of the projects examined by the Auditor General included those at Perth Children's Hospital and ones being managed by Western Power.

Thompson is in Australia to promote her new film Good Luck To You, Leo Grande a wryly comic two-hander directed by Australia’s Sophie Hyde, where she plays 60-ish widow Nancy Stokes, a retired religion teacher who has never had an orgasm.
She and Marwick discussed the harm caused by depictions of conventional on-screen romance and how women "were sold a pup" about being able to juggle domestic life, motherhood and careers.
"I think the 'you can have it all' thing was not only cruel but also utterly untrue, and I think we need to really re-examine all of this because it's all landed once again on our shoulders," Thompson told Marwick.

City of Perth Western Residents Association president Anna Vanderbom said the controversial $35 million, 66-room complex in Crawley was originally promoted as residences for “scholars and fellows”.
"We would've thought that UWA would've learnt from the past, the university is about learning. If they went into history they would see that John Forrest, our first premier, was very supportive of respecting public space like Kings Park, without building it," she told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

Listeners on 6PR Mornings have reacted passionately to radical reform planned for our education system, designed to improve teaching standards and pay.
The federal government’s Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership’s blueprint for fixing the teacher shortage is by recruiting university-educated workers to earn while they learn on the job to teach school students.
Nathan told host Liam Bartlett he and his brother were both teachers up until last year.
"The workload has just gotten out of hand, and that idea from AITSL, you could be the smartest bloke in the room, it doesn't make you a good teacher," he said.
Another listener, Jennifer, told Bartlett she was a retired teacher of 40 years in the classroom and would happily go back to work but she loses too much of her pension and the paperwork required today was "ridiculous".
"What's the job of a teacher Liam, is it paperwork? No, it's to nurture and guide a child through the most wonderful learning experiences that they can have," she said.

Department of Justice director general Dr Adam Tomison said a front page story in The West Australian, which suggested a group of six inmates at a minimum security prison were granted permission to have late-night party to watch the Champions League final in May, was off the mark.
Mornings listener James, a former prison worker of 14 years, told Bartlett he had a very different view to Dr Tomison's on whether the prisoners were low risk.
"At one stage in Wooroloo, we even had a murderer up there... the reason I left was because my unlisted private telephone number and my home address were given out to these bikies, who didn't like me because I wouldn't favour them like some of the other officers.

The government-commissioned report by Deloitte found the average Perth household spent around $1630 a week on goods and services as well as housing costs.
Carolyn Smith, UWU WA State Secretary, told 6PR Mornings that 'the government doesn't seem to be in tune with what's happening for workers in the public sector'.

Bushfire Front chairman and former general manager of the Department of Conservation and Land Management, Roger Underwood – a seasoned forester who has fought hundreds of bushfires – wants the State Government to denounce the recent research from Curtin and Murdoch on prescribed burns.
"The last six months or so, there's been an explosion of output from these people ... to alarm and upset the public, with a view to ensuring the burning program is undermined," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.
"If we don't have the prescribed burning program in South West forests, it puts the whole community and the forest itself at risk of high-intensity, summer bushfires, and everyone suffers when you get them.
"Why would anyone promote a change to government policy that increases the likelihood of people being burnt and forests being burnt and towns being burnt?"

After giving foot baths the cold shoulder on 6PR Mornings last Friday, Watt changed tune somewhat on Wednesday, with new sanitation foot mats to be installed at all Australian airports, starting with Darwin and Cairns this week.
"Honestly, are we doing everything we can to keep foot and mouth out of Australia?" Bartlett asked, suggesting the federal government was "dragging its feet" over the issue, which could cost the livestock industry $80 billion if it worsened.

A sex worker rights activist has called on the McGowan government to decriminalise sex work in Western Australia.
Despite many inquiries and reports on the matter in the state, there is a reticence to go anywhere on it, with prostitution still largely illegal.
Sex worker Julie Bates AO told Liam Bartlett the state should follow the leads of other Australian states in decriminalising sex work.
"Once you give them the findings, and make very clear recommendations that demonstrate to decriminalise the sex industry, it's a bridge too hard and they put it on the shelf," she said.

Another major McGowan Government transport project has been delayed, prompting the Opposition to ask the Audiotor.
The Opposition spokesperson for Metronet, Tjorn Sibma, said it was very unclear why there had been a third delay to the Forrestfield Airport Link and Transport Minister Rita Saffioti needed to come clean on how it would manage to deliver the project in a timely manner.
"This is is the Minister failing at the first hurdle, she need not do that, she can re-establish her credibility, she can give the public confidence in how this project is going to be implemented," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

The parents of Queensland boy Daniel Morcombe have labelled a new movie depicting the hunt for their child's murderer "callously disrespectful" after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
Daniel was 13 years old in December 2003 when he was snatched from a bus stop on the Sunshine Coast and murdered. His killer, Bunbury-born convicted pedophile Brett Peter Cowan, was caught after an extensive eight-year investigation.
Bruce Morcombe told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings they were calling for a boycott of the new Australian film The Stranger about his son, saying it is "making money off a heinous crime".

And atom by atom, a diamond grows," Melissa Trafford-Jones, Founder of Deltora Diamonds told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings.

With the Liberal heartland lost here in WA since the election, prominent Liberals believe their party will be "in the electoral wilderness for some time" unless they elect more women to parliament.
Liberal Senator and former defence minister Linda Reynolds is now urging her party to consider temporary female quotas.
Gary Adshead asked Linda why she is now pushing for these quotas, as she hasn't been a fan of them in the past.
"The issue of gender is something that I have been working on for many years in the Liberal party. Despite all the discussions we've had and the reviews on issues of gender, today federally, we are in a worst position since 1983. We still have 8/10 of our elected representatives as men, so it is time for change," Linda said on 6PR Mornings.
"The reason I have raised the issue of quotas is because we need to put everything on the table and to work out how we not only hear what women have told us, but also act to make it far easier for great women to take office bearing positions and to stand as candidates."

The World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer officially declared firefighting as a cancer-causing profession, a move with major implications in how cancer is managed for firefighters and fire services across the world, including Australia.
The WHO IARC announced it was escalating the profession of firefighting from ‘Group 2B – Possibly carcinogenic to humans’ to ‘Group 1 – Carcinogenic to humans’ as part of its ‘Monograph on the identification of carcinogenic hazards to humans’ – an ongoing detailed study of a single specialised subject or an aspect of it.
United Firefighters Union of Australia national secretary Greg McConville told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Morning the WHO IARC had confirmed beyond any doubt the profession of firefighting causes cancer in firefighters and this has important implications for Australia’s governments and fire services.

As world leaders including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gather in Madrid for the first day of NATO's historic conference, there is more proof of the clandestine ways in which China continues to undermine Australia's interest and economic growth.
A Chinese- linked campaign is spreading disinformation to undermine the resources sector in the west, targeting leading Australian mineral company Lynas Rare Earth in an effort to drum up protest activity to prevent its expansion into the USA and Malaysia.
US cyber security company Mandiant Threat Intelligence's vice president John Hultquist told Liam Bartlett the company had discovered thousands of fake accounts on social media platforms that spread messages in favour of China and, by extension, putting the boots into Lynas.
"In this case, one of the things they did was pretend to be Texans, where Lynas is building a plant, and these actors raised concerns about the plant, mainly focusing on environmental concerns, but all of these accounts were fake," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

The fallout from the Roe v Wade reversal has begun, with 13 US states enacting trigger laws that ban abortion in those jurisdictions.
The decision to overturn the ruling of 1973 does not in itself outlaw abortion, but removes the right from the US Constitution, leaving the onus back on the states – much like the case in Australia.
Washington Post correspondent Casey Parks told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the 13 states were all conservative-leaning states.
In Oregon, where she lives, a $15 million fund was set up to help patients in neighbouring states cross the border for abortion access.

"Less and less of us are using cash to pay anything. Many of us don't even keep cash on us."
However, Ms Bligh did emphasise that Australian banks do not see our society becoming fully cashless anytime soon.
"There is going to continue to be a role for cash. It's not about to disappear tomorrow."

Melbourne scientists say they've made a discovery that could lead to organ transplant waitlists becoming a problem of the past.
The group of RMIT University researchers took the first step towards improved storage of human cells using cryo-freezing, which may lead to the safe storage of organs via cooling biological specimens down to very low temperatures, so they can be stored for long periods of time.
RMIT University lead researcher Dr Saffron Bryant told 6PR Mornings the finding could lead to the development of tailor-made cryoprotective agents, which could target specific cell types and help keep donated organs viable for years.

Stamp duty and home affordability is in the spotlight after the NSW government embarked on its long-touted stamp duty reform in Tuesday's state budget.
The state is offering some first home buyers the choice of making the up-front payment or an annual property tax.
Leading Perth real estate analyst Gavin Hegney said the change in approach from NSW would be watched closely by other state premiers, with stamp duty a volatile tax for governments.
"It's very politically astute to start with first home-buyers as a testing ground, then ironing out the bugs and moving across the whole market," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says the disruption Australian travellers face upon flying overseas has not deterred demand for flights overseas as borders begin to re-open across the world post pandemic.
Joyce told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings new regulations for airlines, including mask mandates, were complex but necessary, ahead of Qantas' inaugural first direct flight to Rome from Australia leaves Perth on Saturday, one of many European international routes in high demand from Australians.
He said ticket sales for international flights were tracking higher than before the pandemic in Australia.
"We're probably actually ahead of a lot of airlines, we're getting back there," Joyce said on Wednesday.

The Water Corporation has wasted almost $150,000 in taxpayers money after ditching plans for a new rebranding campaign.
The corporation spent hundreds of thousands of dollars "rebranding Water Corp" but apparently never asked Water Minister Dave Kelly for final approval.
WA Opposition Leader and Shadow Water Minister David Honey told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings if you were going to go down the path of rebranding, the minister needed to know about it.
"It would make you worry a little bit that the CEO doesn't think they have to inform the Minister about this," he said.

Limited routes and strong demand have bumped up the cost for travellers looking to holiday overseas after the pandemic.

Travellers Choice managing director Christian Hunter told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings accommodation in Europe is up 25-30 per cent across the board, while airlines are prioritising profits over customer experience, with increasing fuel costs, a lack of competition and limited airlines flying into Australia the main reasons for steep airfares.

A member of the AFL's Indigenous Team of the Century, Bill Dempsey was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame this week.
Dempsey, a member of the Stolen Generation, overcame significant hardship to establish a fabulous playing career over 18 seasons as a player in WA and the Northern Territory.
Those who had the good fortune to meet him during those events could not help but be captivated by his presence.
If spinning a yarn was a competitive sport, he would have represented Australia.
Dempsey was a dominant player for West Perth over 17 seasons, but what made that all the more impressive was that for the first 10 seasons of his WAFL career, he returned home to Darwin every summer to play in the local competition for his beloved Buffaloes. He never enjoyed an off-season.

The WA government will pay Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei and engineering firm UGL $6.6 million, two years after it axed a controversial $206 million contract to rebuild Metronet’s communications network.
Transport Minister Rita Saffioti revealed in Parliament the government had also entered into a $327 million contract with Finnish telecommunications giant Nokia and Networks Australia, $121 million more than the Huawei deal.
Opposition spokesperson for Metronet, Tjorn Sibma, said the deal with Huawei was shrouded in secrecy and never announced publicly, with concerns at the Chinese company's capacity to deliver the contract at the time it was signed.
"Rita Saffioti ignored every sensible warning about this, she pressed ahead, and she has delivered failure as a result," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

The parent company of Facebook and Instagram has added new features on their Instagram platform to help parents and their teenagers on the app.
Mums and dads can now set time limits, monitor follower lists and notifications on inappropriate behaviour on Instagram.
Safe on Social, an organisation dedicated to educating schools and students about cyberbullying and online exploitation, said the new strategy was a positive step but time was needed before assessing its effectiveness.
Founder and CEO Kirra Pendergast said to implement the parental controls, a joint agreement was required between parents and their kids.
"Personally, having spoken to 800,000 teens over the last 10 years or so, I find that concept kind of, um, delusional, to be honest," she told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.
"I think there will be a quick workaround by teens, like the four other accounts that they'll be using that mum and dad don't know about."
Pendergast said mums and dads don't really know what happens on their kids' social media accounts.
"A lot of parents think they know a lot because they use the apps themselves, but they're not the target audience here," she said.

The WA Government's decision to close two coal-fired power stations in Collie by the end of 2029 and instead plough billions of dollars into renewable energy and storage has caught local workers by surprise.
Third-generation coal miner Paul Moyses says the decision will change the whole fabric of the town but, more broadly, believes coal should co-exist with renewable energy sources, at least in the short term.
"Coal has been a reliable energy source for 100 years. We don't have blackouts in WA with coal as our energy source," he told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.
Collie Visitor Centre manager Janine Page says Collie has long been preparing for change but the town has always been optimistic, with a record 27,000 people stopping by the visitor centre in the past year.

"When you've got busy beaches and busy carparks and emergency services trying to find the right one, to have that GPS location [will aid response times)," he said.

The father of teenage girl killed as a passenger in a quad bike crash in 2012 is outraged at the sentence given on Thursday to a serial driving offender, less than a year after his release from custody after a separate incident of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
Joshua Bonjour, 30, was sentenced to four years jail for the fatal crash in 2012 that saw 18-year-old Jodie Maree Worthington killed.
Only months after his release, Bonjour caused a crash that seriously injured his passenger, 25-year-old Lily Davis.
After completing a jail term for that offence, his licence was suspended but Bonjour was secretly recorded by police driving on 17 separate occasions over four months last year, for which he was sentenced to 12 months in jail on Thursday, but will be eligible for parole after serving six months.
Jodie's dad Jeff Worthington told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the justice system had let down his family, and so many other families left to deal with similar tragedies.

The Australian Financial Review’s '2022 Rich List' is led by miners, with WA “oreligarchs” Gina Rinehart and Andrew Forrest at one and two, and a top 10 that includes Australia’s tech royalty
With a wealth of $766 million, Talisman Mining chairman Kerry Harmanis features at no.175 and has used his riches to help educate people in the benefits of mindfulness, as a director of Mindful Meditation Australia.

Olson told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings it was time the WA government reintroduced the mask mandate after WA's chief health officer on Friday confirmed his belief the state's COVID-19 case peak could now reach 25,000, after public restrictions were eased last Friday.
"Start bringing some restrictions in so we can slow the spread down," Olson said on Friday.

The McGowan government has come under fire for its extension of its pandemic powers.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
WA opposition leader Mia Davies has accused the McGowan government of using its majority in both houses to ram through amendments to existing COVID-19 laws which would extend state of emergency powers to January 4 next year.
Davies told 6PR Mornings host Liam Bartlett the Opposition would be briefed on the amendments on Tuesday but was told the government wanted them passed through the lower house by this evening.
“This is an unbelievable abuse of power by this government, very arrogant,” she told Bartlett.
The amendments would give the state continued powers to enforce mask mandates, isolation requirements, close contact rules and proof of vaccination requirements for aged care facilities and hospitals.
“I’m absolutely sure this government could achieve those outcomes looking after the most vulnerable in the community ... without extending these powers,” she said.
A state of emergency was first declared on March 15, 2020 and has been rolled over fortnightly ever since, with the extension coming as WA's COVID-19 cases reached a record 12,390 on Tuesday, the highest in the nation, with 61,755 active cases currently across the state.

The strike action this afternoon from more than 4,500 staff across three WA facilities - Regis, Aegis and Hall & Prior - was not taken lightly.
"It's been a really difficult decision to take this action... we've given the providers a couple of weeks' notice, given them the ability to call in agency staff and work out their rosters, and our members are doing their action this afternoon, so not in the busy morning period where it would have that impact on the individual resident." she said.

The Australian Medical Association has lashed the WA government for its failure to plan and invest in the health system and its capacity after an extraordinary emergency alert was issue by St John's WA on Monday warning on delays in calling 000.
As the number of active COVID-19 cases in WA soared past 12,000 on Tuesday, hospitalisations were relatively minor, while ambulance ramping and delays to triple-0 responses are caused by just a slight increase in pressure on emergency departments, with a functioning health system incumbent on "more hospital beds and staff".
"This is a real concern for every West Australian because if you have a car accident, if you have an unexpected, severe, and urgent medical incident at home, minutes can mean the different between living and dying and that is what our ambulance service is here for, to come and pick us up and get us as quickly as possible to a hospital," AMA president Dr Omar Khorshid told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings.

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has urged electors not to follow how-to-vote cards on polling day as party preference deals are frantically secured prior to the election.
The Liberal Party quietly released its how-to-vote cards for Senate races on Thursday, revealing it would direct preferences to Clive Palmer's United Australia Party everywhere except WA, while WA Labor put Palmer's party above One Nation, despite the incredible legal stoush playing out between WA Premier Mark McGowan, the WA Attorney General and the mining magnate they referred to as 'BFL' (big fat liar).
Ahead of a trip to Perth in a couple of weeks, Hanson told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the federal government's preferences to Palmer showed it was sensitive to racial perceptions from some people of One Nation and made no legislative sense.
"About 80 per cent of the time I do vote for the government," she told Bartlett, adding Prime Minister Scott Morrison had also preferenced the UAP and Greens over her in his electorate.

The cost of vegetables has risen a staggering 12.7 per cent, and beef and veal by 12.1 per cent, in the past year alone, prompting a warning to the federal government by Dietitians Australia.
CEO Robert Hunt told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the nation’s diet-related health crisis will get worse as families struggled to afford fresh nutritious food.
"This has been around for some time, and Australia is one of the most food-secure countries on the globe," he said.
Independent Grocers Association president John Cummings said prices had "gone through the roof" but there were cheaper alternatives for families, especially if they shopped around for weekly specials.

Liam Bartlett has questioned the suspended sentence of the brother of WA’s most corrupt public official Paul Whyte.
Ronald Peter Whyte, 56, narrowly avoid prison for possessing stolen or unlawfully obtained property after admitting to creating a false invoice for state government works, which directed almost $3 million of public funds to the purchase of his sibling’s Mosman Park mansion.
During CCC hearings into how Paul Whyte managed to siphon $27m through his years working in the public service, his brother Ronald said he was “bullied” into creating the invoice by his sibling, with his claim backed by a doctor’s report in the Perth Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
Bartlett questioned why Ronald Whyte kept $131,000 of the money for himself if he was "bullied" into the crime, and dismissed the fact he had since repaid it.
