Robin and Kiff Now with Cory.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Played by Great good Day.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
You know we have producer Todd ky we this year.
We should say this just quickly. Yesterday when we had
Cory's Little League, I had my five year old Raft
with me and you said something. You said, yes it is,
and Raft just stopped, looked at you confused and said
why did you say yes it is?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
And I said no, I said yes it is, and
he goes, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Explain that you're from somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I was like, I've got an next scene.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I'm from New Zealand, yes, and then he walks away
it all.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Day, I never realized that possibly the reason why we
have the honor of having you as part of our
team is that you've bolted from New zealing because you
have the most horrendous story I know.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And this is years ago, but I was working in Auckland,
which is obviously the biggest city in New Zealand, in
pontsonbe which is a central city suburb, and the car
park for work was out the back, but it had
a ninety minute limit on it, right, I would always
get stuck in meetings, I'd be busy, i'd be on
the air, I'd be doing something, and I wouldn't get
the chance to move my car. So every day I
(01:43):
was getting a sixty five dollar ticket every day, every day,
and if you didn't pay that, it became eighty five
dollars within five days. So you said, no car park, No,
we had to either pay for parking down the road
or move your car every ninety minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Okay, why didn't you do something else like surely ubering
public moving the car to a parking station.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, I thought every day i'd said a reminder, I'll
move it. Yet today I've got it. I'll definitely remember.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Nope, okay, So this accumulated for how long?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It was a six month period, and there was also
a little period there where I didn't have a Warranton
d Joe, And so I was getting on top of
the sixty five dollars a four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Fine, Oh my goodness, it's accumulated to a figure that
you claim is the second highest in you How do
you know it's the second highest?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
It went viral backcome last year there were so many news.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Articles, story and a journalist did like some digging into it,
and I was the sick and highest in.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
An it's on a current affair.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, do not know the figure. We want to see
if anyone in Brisbane can come close.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Okay, thirteen one oh sixty five is our number to
talk us about your parking fied tally, see if you
can go close to Todds and we'll get Todd's number.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
R all last year for the moment for the post
amount of parking lot.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Because you used to get a parking fine pretty much
every day at work.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, so it was over a six month period. I
got a sixty five dollar ticket if I didn't move
my car within ninety minutes at work. That then became
eighty five dollars within five days. There was a small
period there where I also didn't have a warrant till Rigio,
and that was a four hundred dollars fine a day
each time.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Just two hundred for rigo, two hundred for warrant. Wow,
what did you think was going.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I don't know what I thought was going to happen,
but I didn't expect it to be so high.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I mean, the foot well of my back seat. Yeah,
granted that was full. I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
When you fill the back seat of your car with tickets,
that's an indicator that you're in trouble.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Todd well, yeah, but I thought maybe there was five
thousand dollars worth.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, okay, so you called.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I called the Ministry of Justice.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Okay, yes, And I said, how many fines do I have?
She said to me, fifteen thousand, counting She said that
coming in every day, fifteen thousand.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I discussed the report in New Zealand. I just found
the article how does someone rack up? Well, they're saying
seventeen thousand, but I guess that's seventeen thousand.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Yes, parking fines over six months?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Six months?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I know how much were you even earning at this place?
You can't have been.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
No, I could never pay that off.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So what did you do?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
How do you?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
How do you pay that off?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
After I got off the phone when they told me
I had seventeen thousand dollars worth of parking fines, I
hung up, cried and called Mum and Mom, I need help,
And then I had to work out a payment plan.
It took me seven years to pay it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Off.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Did you have to pay off every cent?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Every single cent? The other thing?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I could have done community service, but I didn't feel
like that was part of my personality and I didn't
think I'm sad anymore.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Community services off brand. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yes, we thought that no one could beat that in Brisbane.
We were wrong. Dan have beach mea how.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Much twenty two thousand?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
My brother twelve two thou.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Has a learning lesson?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Is it all parking fines? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Stuff, mostly parking? I don't care.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
He just doesn't care. Is he ever going to pay
him off?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
You reckon?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Did the Cowboys supporters? Yeah? The Defense restaurant?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You probably have to declare bankruptcy to get rid of that.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
That was also another option that I can do that
they chase it or they just keep now they keep
chasing you.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
New Zealand smaller than Australia, you can't run as far.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
That's true. They just had a group text.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Does anyone who taught me?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Jimmy Ashley Okay Todd had seventeen? Dan's brother had twenty two?
How much?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Jimmy, I have twenty five thousand dollars? Right? A little
bit over that. Yeah, well I've paid a bit off,
but yeah, still about twenty grand on it too. How
did you do that?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Jimmy?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
About five years of parking in the city, working in
the city and just struggling to find car parks and
going no stuff it, I'll just go there, And I
found out they were just emailing the fines to me
for a while. They had an old email address. Oh yeah,
and yeah, I didn't even realize I was getting fined
(06:53):
for about two years.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
So you never got the physical ticket.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
He's like, what, Oh, yeah, yeah I thought I was.
Did you come back Jimmy for the wind?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
How did you?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
And so how did you find the old email?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Uh? Well I didn't. I've got to take it on
my car one day. Called up about it and they're like, well,
well you are this month, I say, And so.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
You're on stuff type of payment plan now, Jimmy, is
that what you're doing?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah? Yeah, I'm paying roll slowly, but surely she's a
pay in the arts. But you're getting there.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I just checked just for a friend.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You cannot be jailed solely paying failing to pay a
parking finding plan.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
That's good today, And Jimmy for winning this game, one
hundred bucks to spend it, game over.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
