How can we see the show from abroad ?
The look of disgust on her face when he said "speak with the public" does it for me.
"Well, when we say 'public', we mean TV and media crews. They don't tend to ask questions that aren't already printed out for them."
Ironically, cap and fill is almost assuredly the right actual remediation strategy. This show isn’t a comedy, it’s a freaking documentary. 😮😅😢😮
Good chance, if it's been well characterized and has only metals and the like. But if, for example, there are underlying volatile contaminants, they could pose a vapor-intrusion risk for residential structures even if overlying soil is removed.
This project is real and has been falling over every election for decades. It’s the old defense site on Raleigh road opposite high point.
The community liaison office should have some updates surely?
@@jace1113 Did you call the number?
@@Kenmanhl I did. It went to the local Macca's.
@@jace1113 LOL
and the ice cream machine was broken ...
This was amazingly frustrating to watch, well done!
I stopped watching because it got too real for me
No hard hats? So unsafe. This isn't the 1970s any more.
Footwear better be enclosed too
A leaf could have blown in their eye so don’t forget those Safety Goggles!
Site is toxic, they should be wearing class 4 respirator suits.
Even with a toxic substance transport plan, you're still going to be moving it in trucks.
Yep, government at its finest. Requiring a bunch of paperwork and fees to do something exactly the same way as if the paperwork makes it safer or better.
Yeah, but they’re really special trucks that were totally designed for this specific type of toxic substance. And they are only used for this specific type of toxic substance. They absolutely won’t be used for any other type of toxic substance, even if they have to sit idle for years and years till there is more of this specific type of toxic substance. Of course they don’t say how and where they will clean every speck of this specific type of toxic substance out of the special trucks after they are done hauling this specific type of toxic substance. I would assume they would clean the special trucks at the location where they have relocated this specific type of toxic substance. Oh man, my fingers are tired and tingling a little. Hope it’s just the typing and I didn’t get some specific type of toxic substance on them, but I might at least get a ride in a special toxic substance truck😅.
This is the 21st century boomer. We don't move shit. We make toxic substance transport plans. Then we make an app to consult the public about the toxic substance transport plan. Then we do a symposium where we discuss the ways to improve the toxic substance transport plan. Then we rename the project form toxic substance transport plan to hazardous waste disposal solution and we start all over again. And again. And again.
We all have sociology, urbanism and management degrees. No one knows how to transport shit, what is this? The 70's?
Trucks!? You madman. Clearly the answer is to move it by hovercraft.
Or rail.
I have never even heard of this show but its blowing up my feed and I love it!
You might also like their earlier more government focused series called “the hollowmen”
Community Liaison Officer, engaged to provide no useful information during consultation with the community, within a very narrowly defined scope, and ultimately write a report that the decision makers pay no attention to. Your tax dollars at work.
Assume report was written before consultation, but space has been written for quotes from community, and pictures of relevant politicians vision-ating and talking to members of the public?
Getting shut down like that would just piss me off. I'd turn back to the guy I was talking to and ignore her.
I would have just straight up told the guy, the site is going to be turned into a in situ toxic waste facility in order to store and process the ground your currently standing, you should probably dispose of your shoes when you get home wouldn't want the contamination spreading.
"😗💦😡"
I'm the first face, she's the second one. That's how it'd go for me.
"Community Hotline"
On hold for an hour...
Maze of press…
“Our options have changed. Please listen to the following 9 choices, none of which have anything to do with your call”
Then get put through to someone from Mumbai who can barely speak English.
It isn't the seventies anymore, no two hour "liquid lunches."😊
Ahh this is 'so real world it's scary' haha
Having worked municipal Water Treatment most of my career that Liaison Officer is spot on.
I am not allowed to speak to the public about any municipal matters, or I can be fired. No joke.
And then the public liaison officers get things wrong and screw it up.
This reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbs cartoon strip, the writers have an amazing insight into their subject matter. And can make it funny.
"In your day" is an exclusionary term that denies equality and aggressively condemns a felow employee by virtue of age or duration of emploment. Within the framework of a multi generational organization all employees ought to be made aware of the divisive nature such aggressive language and concepts have on both the organizational and individual level.
Furthermore the term is espoused with intent to apply previous transgressions both real and assumed from a loosely affiliated group to an individual for the express purpose of undermining legitimate participation by a felow employee.
can i get a har-umph here.
Wow , this comment is great ! Reminds me of a couple of sayings. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. And “ if you can’t dazzle them with brains , baffle them with bullshitt”.
Older employees aren't equal, they've likely learned the rhythm of the field but they wouldn't be hired if they were applying for an entry level job these days because you need to almost have a scientific understanding of a field to get into even a non-technical job. Example, a lot of oldies in here mocking the hotline. Talking to the community vs. line of communication like a hotline or email - her method allows them to send out a vetted message and protect the business. There is a buffer between them and the community for a reason, people will get a cough and be like lawsuit time - I got a recording that they're cutting corners on contaminate disposal! It doesn't have to be true for reputational damage.
That's a lot of words for Bigoted and Illegal.
Is this satire? I think you need a “behooves” in there somewhere.
Love this show. It’s actually spot on with my work It’s ironically true and this makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
"at night"🤣
This is the best show on the planet. Even the politicians are watching it.
Except they think it's a guide to better government.
One thing that’s been successful is cap and fill followed by upzoning to mixed use. IE instead of houses with yards build apartment buildings with park areas. Its much easier to monitor a park and fix any problems in the future than trying to monitor a neighborhood full of backyards.
So that is what they did around Rhodes & Wellington Point at the old Union Carbide Factories where they manufactured Agent Orange??
Please refer to 1.17

Cant wait for the next series
All issues, no solutions.
Corporations have set this expectation and now the youth blindly follow...
Corporations? As an owner of a corporation we have to actually accomplish things or we go out of business, and our customers have to want what we produce enough to voluntarily exchange their hard earned money for it. Every interaction we have with government is them demanding things with no concept of how to accomplish them, changing the goal posts once you have explained how to solve the problem for them, and never getting fired for their incompetence.
@@defenstrator4660 yeah no, looking at the business landscape the past decade, not only do corporations constantly make products that aren't demanded with the express purpose to achieve their accomplishment of being bought by a larger corporation; *it is now the customers themselves are commoditized and sold*
Like you are posting this on TH-cam, what exactly are the corporate owners achieving? They don't make the videos.
Also lol "as the owner of a corporation". Like what are you a shareholder?
Yes I down the shares. Of the corporation I own. Which runs a number of businesses. All of which have actual customers who want the actual product I am selling. In this case berthing space and facilities for marinas, and condominiums to live in. I invest a lot of time and a lot of money, take a large risk if anything goes wrong, and get paid last when it all works out. @@SOLOcan
Keep barking, the enlightened one@@SOLOcan
@@dannguyen3248 who did you write that for?
I can confirm having a rando government employee talk to the public is a great way to get the municipality sued.
WDP would be at the pinnacle of Australian humour since Frontline back in the 90s.
Best show on ABC next to Bluey.
In general people don't get in contact to be nice or say how happy they are. The people that gets in contact either have questions or want to complain. Thats why we have hotlines or refer to material within the public sector. Big corporations do the same. All this said. At all the citiy administrations I have worked at, we ALWAYS talk with our citizens and answer all questions. This is part of being a civil servant. And no one I have ever worked with would behave like this lady. They would answer to the best of their knowledge and then refer to the hotline or webpage if they had more questions.
In my experience, 90 % of the complaints are irrelevant, wrong, exaggerated or seen from a personal perspective and not from a community perspective. Example of the last, "My kids school is being closed down, thats unfair!" When in fact there were like 5 kids at that school that cost 10x as much because of that. Meanwhile there were another school within a not too far distance with space for more students. As a civil servant and politician we have to see to the whole community. That means making decisions that will hurt some and benefit others.
Lastly, in todays society there are also a huge number of what we call rättshaverister in swedish, a person obsessed with obtaining justice for a PERCEIVED injustice that they have experienced in the past. Often the so-called injustice is so far back in the past that it's not really the problem anymore. These people stand for a large portion of the communication to a local government. And they cost huge amounts of tax payers money every year. Hotlines, webpages etc are all ways of dealing with these people so that we basically don't have to have fulltime employees just to answer their questions or, more likely, listen to their stories and complaints.
……and they wonder why everything costs so much these days 🤔
Consultants.
@@nicholassmith7984 - always; so when it all turns into a Brown Sandwich they can blame the consultants
Work in the public sector much more than a month and you'll be advised by a lot of people within not to speak to the public - generally that's not bad advice for a newbie. Joe public generally has complaints against the government, I think we've all got gripes with the way our government governs (or fails to as is often the case), but what you don't know is how that person will act. Some folks are nice enough and just want to know what's happening, others get aggressive and become dangerous.
LOL get another fing job. YOU DO WORK FOR US. If your boss pissed off the public then yes you are going to hear about it, pissed off people have right to be pissed of if the gov bureaucrats create bs. Deal with it or quit...
CLOWN
If anyone says the senior gentleman is the issue, then a public liason officer that doesn't liase and tries to hide things. Problems both ends!
How do I watch this show in the US
Honestly, I’m with the younger guy on the issue with the dirt, without a thorough and well documented plan to deal with contaminated materials, a lot of a people could get exposed and hurt
People always hate regulation and red tape until it stops you from dying
this looks like a hilarious show, but it's not available in america. any way for ME to watch it ?
You may want to look into a Victor Papa November.
I tried, but it didn't work.@@chrisblanch5730
I think it was renamed dreamland for export. I don't know if it's still available on international streaming services. Definitely worth a watch.
Do have a tour passport and another form of photo ID with your current address. and phone No?
what ?@@jainra
Those younger generation will get in trouble with HR for age discrimination
Did the producers work on Westgate Tunnel???
That's funny, it is now called "compulsory acquisition" which gives the right for government to take your land as use it as such.
Do people sort into public liaison officer positions who have exactly those skills?
A Fantastic well written show that I hate to watch. Tony never wins.
Leave the problem alone until its value increases to the point where someone one is willing to jump through the hoops
The majority of the public ate the problem.
Old generation tries to make something, young generation sits in governmental office and prevents to do anything, its their single ability to obstruct. Welcome to the brave new world.
Talk? To the ACTUAL public? Eeeeuuuwww!
Thomas More is spinning in his grave.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅
lucky judges are old ey
Scariest words ever uttered "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help"
Its more like old people enforcing these rules on the young. Not the young enforcing these rules on the old
LoL 😆🤣🤣
Farken hate these workers
Sometimes I wish you'd go back to making comedies instead of documentaries...
Speak to the public perish the thought but I drive an EV to work & diesel suv the rest of the time lol..
Pick your poison:
Direct but ignorant
Or
Passive aggressive but a little less ignorant
too many rules about rules today
yer but the constitution is still old thank fuck, so your rules dont apply we are meant to break them
Examples of failed bureaucrats.
idk what you're talking about. Their paychecks say they're very successful
Typical stereotypical targeting of an age group that someone wants to blame
Why is everyone laughing at the two younger ones here, they're absolutely right.
Because boomers prefer to just cover up dangerous pollution so you can't see it or smell it, and then deny everything when people start getting cancer and dying 20 years later.
Meanwhile, neighborhood kids have been playing in that field for years.
@@EvelynSaungikar Our parents grew up with lead paint and asbestos, doesn't mean we should maintain the status quo because nobody died.
@@alexmo1941 doesn’t mean that trucks taking the top soil away, and putting a layer of clean fill, won’t suitably remediate the problem when the locals have all been exposed for years.
They're proposing to make the whole process a bureaucratic nightmare for the same trucks to do the job, just more expensive and more time consuming , just so anything happens they can clean their arses, also the public liaison not doing her job is icing on the cake
Ugh…
😴💤
ACTING
Fake
Tbh I'd take those two young'uns in the team.
We’re doomed.
