Speaker 1 (00:00):
So there's this new law about pets.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, Victorian animal lovers will soon be able to be
buried with their pets after a landmark reform has passed
through parliament in Vittoria. So Victoria's so it's starting in Victoria.
So the reform which has now been passed, will soon
become law allowing pets to be buried in family.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Plots for the first time. There you go.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell led the push for
the law to change after discovering her wish to be
buried with her pets was actually illegal.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
The Queens labe, well it must be everywhere and this
it is actually passed. So she's got seventeen sheep, she's
got a donkey, she's got three horses, four ex puppy
farm dogs, four cats, and she said the legal change
reflects how deeply Australians value the bond between humans and animals.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
For many of us, how pets are family. It's what
I said before.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
If you've got pets, a lot of this is a
lot of people that they're part of the family.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Are you saying she's going to get buried with all
of those?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Sure, she's got quite a few.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's like a farm.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It does sound like it.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
This change to honors the bond that gives people the
right to rest eternally beside their best friends. I mean
I do get that. And look, wagin if you've got pets,
how do you feel about this? Would you like to
be buried with your pets? Is it something? I mean yeah,
is it something that you're okay with? Is it something
you'd be pleased with? For a start, I didn't know
(01:19):
it was illegal. I did not it was actually illegal,
but apparently it is. So it started in Victoria.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Obviously. Now it's passed in Victoria. The push will be.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Put forward for probably other states because they're not going
to want to just have one state that allows them.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I don't know. Would you be married? I buried our
dog a couple of years ago, little puppy that passed away.
He's in the backyard about three foot down, just so
other animals couldn't dig.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, let's each your I mean, look, you have pets,
but I wouldn't call you like a huge animal animal
lover like.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I mean, yes, you do love them.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I love seeing people who are very, very bonded with
their pets, you know what I mean, where it's there,
it's their entire life. Like my mom with her dog, like,
oh my gosh, Like he's got outfits, he's got everything.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean, she's she takes him everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
She can't take family. Family.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
All pets are. I'm not saying that they're not.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But some people are very much into their pets where
you know, like they're you know, I mean, you go
to Buddies, you're taking your pet, you go here, you go.
Your pets are basically included into your entire life.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't know whether i'd still be buried with the pet.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
No, but see you you've got your dog. But I'm
going to call you an animal lover. You don't like cats.
You don't see what I'm saying. So yeah, you're I'm
not saying that you're not, but you know what I'm
saying to me, I have a broad range of things
that I absolutely love.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And I've always been like that because I wanted to
be a vet. That was my calling.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Be rogomet Marty has eighteen dogs. Hey Marty, how.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Are you going? Yeah? Hi, Camper high money. Yeah, yeah,
I've got my own private cemetery at the back paddock, right,
I bury some of my best dogs there. Yeah, and
I've got the passion for my grayhounds. I can't see
why not I can't be buried with them.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So you're seeing as you'll say, Okay, you're saying, because
you've already got the cemetery out the back, you're going
in with them, right, fair enough?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why not been buried first and having all your dogs
piled on?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, I don't know how they do that.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's a very interesting conversation because you can have several
people buried in the one all.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
We have the campions up in North Queensland where my
mom and dad they're buried on top of each other,
my grandparents, and we've got a plot. My grandmother bought
this plot many many years ago. We can all be
buried there, yes, on top of each other. Yeah, you know,
oh same.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I have a space I've told you because my sister's
a Logan Village cemetery. So my mom and I have
a space there and it can go any which way because.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We've been trying to buy a space now it cost
us a fortune.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well, yes, I guess it depends on where you want
to go. But look at wages a question would you
actually do it? Would you be buried with your pets
or what have them put in with you?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm just concerned about the headstones for the dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
We have a little poor print, a little cat pull print.
I don't know what the donkey?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
What would you have?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Ear? Is Robin's on the line from Mount Forbes. Gay, Rob,
how are you going?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Good things?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Would you be buried with your pets?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yes, definitely, Rob.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
What have you got?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I've got three dogs and the cockatoo?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh they're all going in with you? Why not? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, well they have their pet cremation. I've got about
three urns at home from my beautiful previous pets, a
couple of cats and a dog, and they're all up
on a shelf. Right, So you can have the same
thing they would like, cremate them and pop them in
with it.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Where do you put the cockatoo in between the dogs?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well it depends your first I can live for their hundred.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You go they do?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
What if you die, the dogs die, who's going to
remember that? The bird's got to go in there as well?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
The kids.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yes, you've got to leave it all written out how
you want it to go. Absolutely all right, Ron. So
Rob's got the dogs and the bird going in.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Have a good day, Rob, two dogs in a cockatoo.
Jody is in red bean plays. We'll take one more
call that, Jode? How are you going? Would you be
buried with your pets?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Oh? Look, I had my boy for alien years and
he's currently in at the moment, but he's also in
the urn with his mum. So I've got three dogs
in the urn. They all grew up together type thing.
And yeah, then with me showed the photo flaming there.
No one else is going to want it and my dog.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You know, well, that's it earns a bit different. I'm
thinking dogs, skeletons.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
They would put it in a like a container. And
I mean, and if you.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Have actually ever lost someone, you can put things in
with them, isn't that right, Jode? When when they pass,
so if there's something significant that they loved or you
want to put with them so that as they pass
over and go into their you know, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Can just fill the hole.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You know, I've seen pet cemetery. It's a scary movie
on horror movie day.

her for pushing forward for that all.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
