Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh right, coming up, The Greens have a plan to
stop the big banks from leaving our regions.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm Jackie Limb with iHeart Air Peninsula, your weekly local
news wrap for the Air Peninsula and surrounds. But first,
it's National Missing Person's Week and we're being encouraged to
raise awareness around the issue. More than fifty thousand people
go missing each year in Australia and while most are
found safe within just a few days, others are never found.
(00:28):
That includes several from our region. I spoke to Australian
Missing Person's Registered Director Nicole Morris, who shed some light
on those untold stories.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
For a relatively small state, there's a lot of missing persons.
I think South Australia has a bit of an unfair
reputation with the rest of the world, but unfortunately we
do have some suspicious disappearances in South Australia, one of
those being Gail King. Gail was twenty eight years old,
mother of two little children, living in Adelaide with her
(00:57):
partner pregnant at the time that she went missing, and
in July nineteen ninety seven, she and her family went
down to their holiday house in Milton on the York Peninsula.
Her fiance said that she was going to drive back
to Adelaide for a meeting, but it was actually found
that that meeting didn't exist, so we're not quite sure
what happened there. Her car was found back at the
house in Adelaide, the lights on. Inside the house, there
(01:20):
was tegwak chicken in the fridge. The clothes that she
had been wearing were washed, but Gail had completely vanished.
Her handbag and person were missing, some photos were missing
from the house, but she completely disappeared and it is
a total mystery as to what happened to her. Her
brother has never stopped looking for her and it's absolutely
(01:40):
destroyed his life. It's never been the same. Gail would
never leave her family, and her brother really needs to know.
He made a promise to his dad that he would
never stop looking for Gail, and so, yeah, this family
really needs an inquest, I think, just to find out
what happened and lay all the cars on the table
and figure out what went on. It would be great
if Midliton locals could think back to that time and
(02:04):
maybe come forward with some information. That would be great.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, twenty seven years on, So is this kind of
defined as a cold case or our investigations still underway.
Do things pop up from time to time?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Always, I think, particularly in homicide investigations, police don't really
reveal to the public what they're working on and what
they've discovered for operational reasons, which is perfectly acceptable. So
I think that they're still working on this case all
the time. There's a two hundred thousand dollars reward, so
if anyone knows anything, that can come forward, So the
(02:35):
communication lines are open. If anyone knows anything. Police just
probably need a little bit more evidence in order to
lay some charges in this case.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, and you said that some things were taken from
her house and photographs were missing and the like, So
does that lead police down a certain route, like maybe
she did run off.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It's really difficult, Yeah, to know what happens in a
missing person case. We can sort of look at the
clues that were left behind, and you know, it may
have been staged to look that way, or maybe Gayla
did make it back to Adelaide. The police have said
that they're not sure that she left militant, but her
car made it back to Adelaide, So how did the
car get back it's one of those you know what happened,
(03:16):
and I think that's what an inquest would uncover as well, a.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
More recent one only in the last four years. Even
Darryl Norris from Cleeve, this is a particularly sensitive one.
I know the family's been through a bit with this,
just having absolutely no idea what's going on. They've scoured
their properties and neighboring properties trying to find Darryl and
just come up with nothing. Is there anything that you
can tell us about Darryl Norris's case.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, I wish I had an update. Unfortunately he's still missing.
I think you know, Australia is a very uniquely nature
filled kind of country. We are filled with thick bushland,
We're surrounded by cliffs and water. It's very easy for
someone to disappear. And even though you know, I know
in that particular case, they sent up the police helicopter,
(04:01):
they sent up drones, they would have had ses police
searching the bush. It's not a big population in Cleeve,
but I think it's one of those more remote places
of Australia where unfortunately, I think nature has won in
this case and Darryl still remains missing. Since through very
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
What do you have to say? There was kind of
a little bit of unrest I suppose within the family.
I do know this family. They had his picture just
published on a front page of a newspaper a while
back without their knowledge. And is there rules? Is there,
you know, sort of protocols that media outlets should be
following with this sort of thing, you know, just to
not cause any more distress to the families.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It's such a difficult thing. And I think even after
I've been doing this for nineteen years and I'm still
I tread very gently as far as as far as
I can. You know, this week, I'm presenting two and
a half thousand missing persons cases, so I've got all
of those photographs going out, and it's rare for a
family to not want their missing person made public. But
(05:05):
of course it's absolutely their right to request that that happens.
When someone goes missing, they will go to police, and
police will get their permission to make the photograph public,
and so that permission stays as long as the family
doesn't come back and say, no, we've changed our mind,
we want to pull all of the releases. So it
(05:28):
is a very sensitive issue. But I think for a
missing person people only want the best. They don't usually
want to sensationalize the case. People are genuinely kind and
compassionate and they just really want to help find the
missing person.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
A Missing Person's Week which is of course wrapping up
this weekend. Has anything come from this? What's been the
upshot this year?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
The official Australian Federal Police campaign via the National Missing
Person's Coordination CENTRIST focusing on eight missing women. One of
those is Susan Goodwin from Lincoln's Missing since two thousand
and two, and so I think from their point of view,
they want to get those particular eight cases in the
(06:09):
public domain. I list everybody, but they focus on a
small amount of people, and I guess the thought there
is if they can just focus on those people, you
might just get the information back. All of them are
cold cases. Raising awareness is so important for the families
of a missing person. People fear that they've been forgotten.
(06:30):
So if cases like hers can be put out again
into the public domain, there is still that hope that
people will come forward with that just last piece of
the puzzle that might solve a case.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
With your book coming out in early September, we can
expect stories, well what we can expect Gail King's story,
the Midltant situation. There is there any other big stories
in there that you can give us a little snippet of.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, there's another South Australian case in there, that of
Stephen Lockey, who went missing from the northern suburbs of
Adelaide around the time Gale went missing. Actually, but there
was no connection. But there's a possible connection with the
most notorious South Australian case, and that's the snow tann killers.
So you know, there's a weird kind of connection with Stephen's.
(07:14):
But then again, as much as there could be a
connection there, there's also a huge possibility that Stephen is
still alive and well somewhere. We just don't know with him.
So yeah, there's twelve cases in the book, all different
kinds of people from all different states. So it's it's
a very interesting read.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Nichole's book Missing hits shelves. On Wednesday, September.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Four, I hadla.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I Hardula Banks that scrab physical branches could face hefty
penalties under a bold bid to save the state's regional services. Yes,
a Greens are planning to propose changes to stamp duty
laws which would financially punish banks for leaving regional areas
like the Spencer Gulf and Air Peninsula. I spoke Greens
co leader Robert Simms earlier this week about the stand
(08:03):
they're taking.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
We're really concerned about the impact that branch closures are
having on local communities, particularly in the regions. Indeed, since
twenty twelve, there's been sixty nine regional bank closures in
South Australia, and if you look at a community like Kuberpedi,
that has a huge impact. People in that community are
now having to travel five hundred kilometers just to access
(08:26):
basic banking services. So what we're trying to do is
ensure that banks that actually close their regional branches have
to pay a fee. There should be a penalty for
doing that, and we're suggesting that in those circumstances, the
stamp duty liability shift from the buyer to the seller,
(08:46):
so the banks would have to pay the stamp duty
and they wouldn't pay the ordinary rate, they'd pay a
rate of twenty percent of the value of the land.
So it's a disincentive for those branches that are really
breaching their contract with the community and closing them BI services.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Do you think this will be enough of it deterrent? Yeah,
As you said, it's just the stamp duty. These banks
are pulling in massive amounts of money fifteen billion dollars
in the first half of this year across the major four.
Do you think that just stamp duty is going to
be enough to stop them from doing this?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Well, we'd really like to see some national regulation on
this and banks being held to account at a national level,
but the government's actually opening up the question of stamp
duty with a bill that's coming before Parliament soon, and
so we thought we'd use that lever as an opportunity
to try and hold the banks to account. I agree
it would be good to see some national leadership too
(09:36):
that really find the banks for what they're doing. But
I also recognized though, that this is potentially some more
money that could be put into regional communities, and we're
suggesting that the money raised could be spent in those
communities that are impacted. And to give you a sense
of the amount of money, if the land is worth
say two million dollars, that's four hundred thousand dollars that
(09:56):
could be generated. So it's not chicken feed, and it
might banks to think again, particularly if they're closing and
their local branch for financial reasons. I mean, that's the
proposition that they put to people. I find that hard
to believe given the huge amount of profit that banks make,
that this is really asking them to make a contribution
recognizing the terrible effect that these closures have.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
As you just said, you know, it's a financial decision,
but that can't be the whole story. At the inquiry
and everything into the closures, what was turned up from
that from your perspective, what other reasons are there?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Well, I mean, I don't think that the bank's argument
that they're closing community branches for financial reasons really holds water.
I mean, these are institutions that have made fifteen billion
dollars profit over the last six months alone, so that
argument I think is really weak. It's clear, though, that
this is a problem not just tenns orfstrated, but right
(10:51):
across the country. There was a national Senate inquiry into this,
and they certainly argued for there to be alternatives to
the big banks, looking at the idea of community banks,
even government owned banks, as a way of providing support
to regional communities. But of course in the state Parliament,
I'm looking at what leavers I can apply, and one
(11:11):
of those that we have at our disposal is stamp duty.
I think a lot of people find it really galling
that the banks are making such huge profits while South
Australians are struggling with skyrocketing interest rates. So the least
they can do is provide community services. If they're not
going to do that, then they should be stung with
the new tanks.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
If this should be implemented, it would be nation leading s.
They would be leading the way on this. Is that correct?
This is a first kind of.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Proposal, that's right. I don't know of any other state
that has taken this step. I think it's a small
step in many ways, but it does recognize the effect
that these bank branch closures are having on local communities.
My hope is that everybody in the Parliament will recognize
the opportunity here. Last year I moved a motion in
the Upper House that condemned the banks for closed their
(12:00):
regional branches. It was supported by all political parties and
so I'm hopeful now that people will get on board
with this too.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And finally, today the York Peninsula Football League will celebrate
a monumental anniversary this weekend as the two oldest clubs
in the league clash one hundred and fifty years after
they first faced off. Our reporter Sam Talbot has more.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
That's right, Jack. The two sides first played in eighteen
seventy four. I caught up with Wilson McShane from The
York Peninsula Country Times about the upcoming match.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I mean, some of the oldest clubs in South Australia,
and I think it's just a phenomenal achievement really to
get that far when you consider how challenging football clubs
can be sometimes, getting players and officials involved in one
hundred years is just a mammoth achievement. Really, I'm really impressive.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Can you tell me about the uniforms they'll be wearing.
They're specially colored, right.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
They're wearing guns that represent sugar Hessian sugar bags that
they wore one hundred and fifty years ago in their
first game, which Moons were wearing a pink guernsey and
Wallar were wearing a blue guernsey with an M and
a W on it to signify the pink and the blue,
which they wore one hundred and fifty years ago in
(13:20):
a paddock actually in between Wallaroo and Monta, which is
pretty cool and I think graphic designs come a long
way since since then.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
But yeah, you mentioned they played in a paddock, and
that might explain a bit of a score line in
eighteen seventy five. I don't want to bag him out
because who knows what the footy was like and what
sort of boots they were wearing, But what was the score?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Walleru won that game? Six to zero, so just an
absolute blockbuster. A bit of the twenty nineteen Grand Final
about that, I reckon?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yeah, at least they were kicking straight, I.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Guess, yeah, yeah, exactly. I think football's come at Lay
since Standard, and both of the clubs have won a
lot of flags since the one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah, I'm just reading here, waalaaru twenty seven Premierships the
Moon to fourteen? Who's the favorite this weekend?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I think you'd be chilly to say Moonter isn't the favorite,
But in saying that, all the games you claim Moro
and mont are quite physical, and in this massive milestone game,
I think anything could happen. But I'll definitely be backing
Moonta and I think they've climbed second or third on
the ladder now. But both the clubs have really promising futures,
(14:32):
which I think is the most exciting thing for them.
They're top three in the under fourteens and top two
in the under seventeen. So even if Moon to Do
get the best of them, I think I think Wallaroo,
who haven't won a flag since two thousand, I don't
think they've got a really exciting future both of the clubs.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Thanks for that one, Sam. The game scheduled to kick
off at two forty pm tomorrow on Moon to Oval.
Good luck to both the sides. And that's your weekly
news wrap across the Air Peninsula and surrounds. Don't forget

Oh right, coming up, The Greens have a plan to

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm Jackie Limb with iHeart Air Peninsula, your weekly local
news wrap for the Air Peninsula and surrounds. But first,
it's National Missing Person's Week and we're being encouraged to
raise awareness around the issue. More than fifty thousand people
go missing each year in Australia and while most are
found safe within just a few days, others are never found.
(00:28):

Speaker 1 (11:31):
If this should be implemented, it would be nation leading s.
They would be leading the way on this. Is that correct?
This is a first kind of.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Proposal, that's right. I don't know of any other state
that has taken this step. I think it's a small
step in many ways, but it does recognize the effect
that these bank branch closures are having on local communities.
My hope is that everybody in the Parliament will recognize
the opportunity here. Last year I moved a motion in
the Upper House that condemned the banks for closed their
(12:00):
regional branches. It was supported by all political parties and
so I'm hopeful now that people will get on board
with this too.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And finally, today the York Peninsula Football League will celebrate
a monumental anniversary this weekend as the two oldest clubs
in the league clash one hundred and fifty years after
they first faced off. Our reporter Sam Talbot has more.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
That's right, Jack. The two sides first played in eighteen
seventy four. I caught up with Wilson McShane from The
York Peninsula Country Times about the upcoming match.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I mean, some of the oldest clubs in South Australia,
and I think it's just a phenomenal achievement really to
get that far when you consider how challenging football clubs
can be sometimes, getting players and officials involved in one
hundred years is just a mammoth achievement. Really, I'm really impressive.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Can you tell me about the uniforms they'll be wearing.
They're specially colored, right.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
They're wearing guns that represent sugar Hessian sugar bags that
they wore one hundred and fifty years ago in their
first game, which Moons were wearing a pink guernsey and
Wallar were wearing a blue guernsey with an M and
a W on it to signify the pink and the blue,
which they wore one hundred and fifty years ago in
(13:20):
a paddock actually in between Wallaroo and Monta, which is
pretty cool and I think graphic designs come a long
way since since then.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
But yeah, you mentioned they played in a paddock, and
that might explain a bit of a score line in
eighteen seventy five. I don't want to bag him out
because who knows what the footy was like and what
sort of boots they were wearing, But what was the score?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Walleru won that game? Six to zero, so just an
absolute blockbuster. A bit of the twenty nineteen Grand Final
about that, I reckon?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yeah, at least they were kicking straight, I.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Guess, yeah, yeah, exactly. I think football's come at Lay
since Standard, and both of the clubs have won a
lot of flags since the one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah, I'm just reading here, waalaaru twenty seven Premierships the
Moon to fourteen? Who's the favorite this weekend?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I think you'd be chilly to say Moonter isn't the favorite,
But in saying that, all the games you claim Moro
and mont are quite physical, and in this massive milestone game,
I think anything could happen. But I'll definitely be backing
Moonta and I think they've climbed second or third on
the ladder now. But both the clubs have really promising futures,
(14:32):
which I think is the most exciting thing for them.
They're top three in the under fourteens and top two
in the under seventeen. So even if Moon to Do
get the best of them, I think I think Wallaroo,
who haven't won a flag since two thousand, I don't
think they've got a really exciting future both of the clubs.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Thanks for that one, Sam. The game scheduled to kick
off at two forty pm tomorrow on Moon to Oval.
Good luck to both the sides. And that's your weekly
