Speaker 1 (00:01):
I Heart Dazzi.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hi there, I'm Brute Aileen, and this week on I
Heart Tazzy, we're taking a look back at the year
that was and some of the stories that we've shared
with you throughout twenty twenty four am I Heart Dazzi.
The start of this year marked six months since the
closure of the Saint Helen's private Hospital in Hobart and
what was at the time the state's only mother and
baby unit. In February, Olivia Hicks explored the viability of
(00:25):
the new three bed mother and Baby unit at the
Royal Hobart Hospital, speaking with Tasmanian doctor Tim Jones about
whether enough is being done to help new mums.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
If parents receive that support, the well being of her
child is going to vastly improve, very rapidly. But we
know that if that support's neglected, the impact in terms
of the long term relationships and loving foundations of a
family can be very severely impacted and take a long
time to heal.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Tasmanians went to the polls in March for an early
election sparked by the exit of two state MPs from
the Liberal Party. Before the vote, John Fabrics caught up
with the major Party leaders, including Premier Jeremy Rockcliffe, to
talk about everything except politics.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I know you went to Lonceston Grammar and like many
private schools there's a real prevalence around sport. Every boy
I knew growing up, including myself. Har but an idea
would be the next ten of Lily or Malcolm Blyton
for the kids who don't know who they are, look
them up. Did the Sports Dream ever feature for you?
Did you sort of think, oh, I might go away
with this.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh well, I'd always did. Look. I went to Sacrifice
Primary School, La Trope High then after long Seste and
from grade eight to Grade twelve. And whoever picks up
a cricket bat or bowls of cricket ball in my day?
You know, I'm fifty three now, so I was writing
The Thick of the Lily and the Chapels and the Marsh,
and that's the times that I reflect on when I
(01:45):
was a cricket tragic and I still am. You must
be similar age group to me, John, because you mentioned
Jennis Lily but my ultimate idol. And I remember one
time when I was about eleven or twelve, I'll never
think get it. I was there at one of the hotels,
just finished watching a match and they're sitting down and
(02:07):
a huge, big council Australian cricket team. I'll never forget
Dennis Lilly motioned me over and Christopher my cousin Agon
boys and I which you like your an autograph? And
he took our autocraft books got all the Australian team
to go and sign their autographs. I've never forgotten it, no,
because the general one that Dennis Lilly wasn't sillier today.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
This year has been a tough one for the festival sector,
with Willie Smith's holding its final ever Hue and Valley
Midwinter Festival, and Mona Foma revealing that last Summer's edition
had been its last. But there's one Tasmanian festival that
continues to thrive, Party in the Paddock, which has just
extended its lineup for next year. Earlier I caught up
with festival director Jesse Higgs to discuss why the scene
(02:50):
is so tough.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'll be completely honest. Inflation is a real thing for us.
I think we're looking at a thirty five percent increase
in costs for us alone, and also it's so hard
to book acts at the right time. International scared of
coming to Australia now because of different festivals canceling, and
it's already so isolated from the rest of the world.
(03:13):
It is quite a tricky job for us to make
sure that this thing goes forward super successfully.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And Andrew Smith from Willie Smith shared the story behind
the Shoe and Pelly Midwinter Festival.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
I think there was a number of things that inspired
the festival in Tasmania. Historically it's been very cold, quiet
in the winter, and we started a hospitality venue there
and we wanted to activate them with the trade. It
was also off the back of the year before Dark
(03:44):
Moto launching in Tasmania. And like David Walsh and Manor
and have done, they proved the case and they proved
it could be done and if we build it and
they will come. So we kicked off our first festival
eleven years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It or so later, you've now decided to call it quits.
iHeart has he in previous episodes has talked about the
tough economic climate for the festival sector. Was that a
factor in your decision to wrap things up?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
No doubt, no doubt. The world's changed and it always does.
I think that eleven years ago we were all eleven
years younger and quite enthusiastic and maybe we're prepared to
take more risk. And now after doing it all this
(04:33):
time and realizing the risk that we do take, the
climate has changed. Unfortunately, inflationary pressures have kicked in with everyone,
so less people are out at the moment, out and
about spending money and enjoying the festival. So we just
(04:53):
made the decision that we wanted to do risk and
close the festival down. It's a been a sweet for us,
no doubt. You know, we'll be happy and sad tonight
today when we kick off and tomorrow, but we just
had to make the decision to de risk what we
(05:15):
were doing.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Coming up, When I Heart Tazzy e John Fabrit six
was Joe Palmer's transition from the nightly news to State Parliament,
and Olivia Hicks looks at the personal story behind Hobart's
new cancer wellness center, My.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Heart Dazzy, I Heart Dazzy.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
When I Heart Tazzy. This week, we're looking back at
some of the stories we've brought you throughout twenty twenty four.
Tasmani has seen a boom in girls' soccer or football,
thanks in part to the Matilda's. At the start of
the year, I caught up with equipment manager Holly Lace
eighton to talk about her journey from Northwest Tazzy to
the Tillies kit Room.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
I used to live in a little country town at
the top of Tazzy, which is what was called Elliott
SONI yolla there and I started playing because my dad
was coaching my brother's team and started letting me have
a kick around. And then through school I wanted to
start the first girl's team and made that happen.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Holly Lay spent years training, then coaching and helping out
in any way that she could. It was those volunteer
hours that helped turn her passion into a career.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Over the World Cup, I had a lot of like
Instagram messages and I was like, oh my goodness, how
did you get your job? How do I get there?
And I actually thought I'm going to write back to
many people, and most of what I put in it
was you just got to volunteer. Take every opportunity you can.
So if there's a coaching workshop or if there's another
(06:37):
certificate learning certificate that you can go along to coaching certificate,
go to it and then I know some people don't
love the word, but the networking word is you know,
meet people, talk to people.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
This year saw the announcement of a new Cancel wellness
center for Hoebart. Olivia Hicks spoke to the man behind
the plan about his desire to honor his late wife's legacy.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
After doesn't discriminate any of us that get shot down
with this and such a horrible journey, and simply what
this will do is try and help soften some of
that life.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's Scott Harris, chair of the local gynecological cancer group
Support Hope and Education or She made aware of the.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Work of the She Dining Group and a their vision
to build a wellness center for women in Hobert, which
then morphed into a broader well being sent out for
all canters and all male and female patients.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
iHeart TAZZI has had its fair share of celebrity power
in twenty twenty four, including former Miss Tasmania and Miss
Australia Joe Palmer, who went on to become the face
of commercial television in this state for nearly a quarter
of a century, making the switch to politics and now
serving as a minister in the Rockclife government. John Fabres
asked her why she made the change from such a
successful media career.
Speaker 10 (07:54):
Has it changed a lot over the two decades that
I was in the news team, it like my time
was coming to an end, and I didn't want to
end this amazing career on television and in journalism with
someone tapping me on the shoulder.
Speaker 11 (08:09):
I wanted to, I guess, go out on my own turn.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
So I probably spent a year starting to think what
does life after newsreading.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Look like for me?
Speaker 10 (08:19):
And I was in my late forties. I've always had
a love of politics. Obviously it's a journal covering it
every day and reading about it every night. An opportunity
arose with the sitting member in rose Vies, which is
my electricitian mon assistant, and right up the west tamer
was retiring after eighteen years, and I thought, I think
I can do that. But it was a scary decision
(08:40):
because I think once you show your political colors, I
knew I couldn't go back. It was putting everything on
the line. I just took a deep breath and put
my hand up.
Speaker 11 (08:50):
And how have you found the hours and having to
be switched on pretty much all the time. Is that
new to you and something that made it difficult to begin.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
Look, it's been a really steep learning curve being the
local member for rose Is. I just loved it. It
felt like such a natural fit for me, just working
in the community, working with soul businesses, organizations, individual schools,
whatever it might be, and I just loved that. It
was quite different when the Premier asked me to become
a minister. That was a big change for me, big
(09:22):
change for my family. We had to look at that
pretty seriously. As my dad has always said to me,
if someone presents you with an opportunity, just grab it.
Whether you fail or succeed doesn't matter, but you'll definitely
fail if you don't have a go.
Speaker 11 (09:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:37):
I accepted the Premier's invitation to become a minister, and
I never worked so hard in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Someone else with a similar career trajectory as Nick Dagan,
starting out like Joel in the TV news arena, then
garnering a very widespread profile on the fishing show hook
Line and Sinker. John Favrea spoke with Nick about the
journey from the Telly into Parliament.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Let's talk briefly Hookmarlond Sing nearly twenty years on the air,
more than more than goodness, gracious, I remember when I
first came on.
Speaker 11 (10:05):
Yeah, I can't believe. Yes, remarkable.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
We made our first shows in the year two thousand,
just in the wake of the Sydney Olympics. As I
recall still going to this day. My heartner Andrew heart
who do all those years, We're still going around and
fishing And obviously I stopped in twenty twenty one when
I was elected to winder me. What a job, mate,
My goodness, mate. We were long odds I think to
make a success out of that, because neither of us
(10:30):
was particularly proficient at fishing. But there was something in
the show that you know, it resonated with Yeah. Someone
called it an adventure show mixed with Russell Coy.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
There was the humor behind it that people were attracted to.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Yeah, and look, I think that's very true if you
go off on a fishing trip with your friends or
it quickly generally devolves. That seemed to be we discovered
that by the first couple of episodes. We've given all
the things that you know, the tips that we knew
about fishing on the not so you out of tie.
So we done all that, so we had to find
a different vehicle for The feedback from people was that
(11:05):
that was what they liked. That sort of bat it
between Hardy and I and it was just a bit
like going fishing with you mates, and you know, as
it turned out to be, it was a great joy
and a privilege. A gig in the century.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
One would have thought, therefore, why.
Speaker 11 (11:18):
The shift to politics. It's a very very good question,
because it was a great job. I just felt it
was about time time for change. The opportunity came up
very quickly. I must have been. I was. It wasn't
one of those things that I was necessarily considering at
the time. I'd had some discussions maybe ten years previous
to that, had an approach, and one summer put that
(11:39):
little thought in my head. It never completely went away,
but the timing probably wasn't right. And then in twenty
twenty one, you know, I felt that the timing was
okay and that maybe I'll dip my toe in the
water and look at maybe getting a pre selection. They
told me you probably won't get pre selected because we've
already got a pretty strong candidate, but if you'd like to,
you know, have some experience of what that process is like,
you know, maybe down the track woulday? Ye? Are that?
(12:00):
Then all of a sudden I got pre selected. Then
I'm running and I thought, well, if I'm running, I'm
in this to win. And a cape bard and here
we are.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And finally, Senator Jackie Lamby may not have started out
on the TV, but she certainly has a celebrity profile
here in Australia, catching a fan base for her straight
talking approach and willingness to call out governments for not
delivering for the people. John Faber's caught up with Jackie,
the conversation inevitably turning to the contentious Macquari points stadium.
Speaker 12 (12:26):
I don't think I've come across one person's testimonia that
doesn't it doesn't want our own team. There is no
doubt about that. So for me, I think after Solo
Slave's report coming out, his economic report in the forecast
for the next ten years is we have a perfect
stadium at York Park in lawn system, okay, and we
can spend a lot less money on that and continue
to build that up. It's got plenty of room around
it to move basically a whole new suburb over there
(12:48):
at Invermay, which has been redone. The streets look great,
the new university's out there. I think it's fabulous, and
I think we need to look at an option B
instead of rowing about, oh hey, we need people with
real over their head, people waiting two, three, four years
on a list to get a hit replacement or whatever.
Let's have a look at this, because I think how
(13:09):
awful would the OFL look saying well, if we're not
going to get that, we're not getting our team. And
by the way, I remind every Tasmanian out there that
this is the first time the IFL has ever come
and we bent over backwards for them to come down
here and go, hey, this is what we want for
our Tasmanian team. Nobody else around Australia has been asked
to put a goddamn roof on their stadium. So I
(13:29):
think if the Liberal government had been honest in the
economic situation we'd been in, we wouldn't be in the
situation that we're in today, having this big dream that
we need this new stadium, all these jobs and blah
blah blah. Well we actually don't have the money for it.
Once again, it comes down priorities.
Speaker 2 (13:43):

back in twenty twenty five, but until then, you can

Speaker 11 (11:18):
The shift to politics. It's a very very good question,
because it was a great job. I just felt it
was about time time for change. The opportunity came up
very quickly. I must have been. I was. It wasn't
one of those things that I was necessarily considering at
the time. I'd had some discussions maybe ten years previous
to that, had an approach, and one summer put that
(11:39):
little thought in my head. It never completely went away,
but the timing probably wasn't right. And then in twenty
twenty one, you know, I felt that the timing was
okay and that maybe I'll dip my toe in the
water and look at maybe getting a pre selection. They
told me you probably won't get pre selected because we've
already got a pretty strong candidate, but if you'd like to,
you know, have some experience of what that process is like,
you know, maybe down the track woulday? Ye? Are that?
(12:00):
Then all of a sudden I got pre selected. Then
I'm running and I thought, well, if I'm running, I'm
in this to win. And a cape bard and here
we are.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And finally, Senator Jackie Lamby may not have started out
on the TV, but she certainly has a celebrity profile
here in Australia, catching a fan base for her straight
talking approach and willingness to call out governments for not
delivering for the people. John Faber's caught up with Jackie,
the conversation inevitably turning to the contentious Macquari points stadium.
Speaker 12 (12:26):
I don't think I've come across one person's testimonia that
doesn't it doesn't want our own team. There is no
doubt about that. So for me, I think after Solo
Slave's report coming out, his economic report in the forecast
for the next ten years is we have a perfect
stadium at York Park in lawn system, okay, and we
can spend a lot less money on that and continue
to build that up. It's got plenty of room around
it to move basically a whole new suburb over there
(12:48):
at Invermay, which has been redone. The streets look great,
the new university's out there. I think it's fabulous, and
I think we need to look at an option B
instead of rowing about, oh hey, we need people with
real over their head, people waiting two, three, four years
on a list to get a hit replacement or whatever.
Let's have a look at this, because I think how
(13:09):
awful would the OFL look saying well, if we're not
going to get that, we're not getting our team. And
by the way, I remind every Tasmanian out there that
this is the first time the IFL has ever come
and we bent over backwards for them to come down
here and go, hey, this is what we want for
our Tasmanian team. Nobody else around Australia has been asked
to put a goddamn roof on their stadium. So I
(13:29):
think if the Liberal government had been honest in the
economic situation we'd been in, we wouldn't be in the
situation that we're in today, having this big dream that
we need this new stadium, all these jobs and blah
blah blah. Well we actually don't have the money for it.
Once again, it comes down priorities.
