Speaker 2 (00:21):
Kids Now with Coorios the podcast. Before we went away
to Bakes to see the Backstreet Boys, there was news
about what was going on with the Brisbane River getting
raw sewage pumped in.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's hard to believe in a modern city like Brisbane,
but every month thousands of killer leaders of raw sewage
is being discharged into the Brisbane River. Problems started about
eighteen months ago when Urban Utilities was working to renew
one of its main sewerage pipes that travels under the
Brisbane River. The two hundred and ten million dollar project
hit some complications. Now, every time it rains, it adds

(00:57):
extra pressure on the system, and when it reaches a
certain threshold, the sewage must be discharged into the river
to prevent it backing up and overflowing into suburbia.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Gross. Gross. And when that story ran, we'd had a
huge amount of rain and we thought, well, we're right
next to the river here in Milton, let's send Corey
down to get a sample.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
You're on a jetty, you're just on the rocks down there,
reaching in three two one, oh yeah, God, you got some.

occasion down I don't think it.

someone under six foot. It would have fit you perfect.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
There is video evidence. It's funny. It is funny. So
and now we've set those that sample off for testing and.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
The test resultering. Okay, Now, there were fecal coliforms found
on the rocks and the plate counts were also at
a high level of sixty. Now that's high. However, it's expected.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
It's a bris and river, right, so look, it's.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
A real matter to be found on the.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Bribe someone that grew up in the bush. You don't
swim in a river if you've got open wounds or
open cuts.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Do not swim in that river.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
If you have open wounds.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Open cuts, about just an open mouth.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
But also don't drink the water.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Okay, but look it's high, it's pretty high.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
And we were we ever planning to do the triathlon
for the Olympics in there is that we're sending it.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't think the Rocky river is going to be
much different, I.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Think after Paris is problem with the same and the
fact that people got really ill.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yes, but let's it'll looked good on the cameras.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
But we also had another test of someone's water bottle
in this and I just gave you.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Some Yes, this paperwork, piece of paper, A look at
the bottles. Okay, it is not a water bottle.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
It is I have herbal tea in it called Sunrider
that come in little like like little powders, and the
powders accumulate around the sides of the bottle.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
You're putting that in your front ground? How long did
you make that?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
You reckon?

Speaker 4 (03:22):
How long?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
A while?

Speaker 4 (03:23):

you haven't cleaned it. I don't reckon.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
What are you sure?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Okay you can't clean that. But anyway, look the.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Problem is you can't clean on the insides very well.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Again, just keep going. But okay, now we had tested
we tested it. We tested the robber's water bottle. All right,
we did the exact same tests. Yeah, your water bottle
had a higher plate count than the Brisbane River. The
Brisbane River had one hundred and forty thousand. Your water
bottle had six hundred thousand, I know you, which is

(04:01):
not good. They said that is one of their words,
not good. The swamp from inside the water bottle had
a YaST and mold of two hundred and fifty thousand yeast.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
You got, ye you can in that thing.

Speaker 1 (04:19):

was identified as the main species.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know what candid fungus? Is that a fungus that
sometimes people get other places, well, you often get it
on your feet.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
I don't want to say that because I know what
that word is to other places other than feet as well.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's it's disgusting.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
You get a high blake out in the pro river.
