The shock decision to hold off 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.200 a rate cut, Why the RBA governor insists it's not 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.919 a betrayal of homeowners. Devastating stories emerged from the flooding 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.560 disaster in Texas. Will cross live to a reporter on 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.680 the ground later this hour, Plus the mushroom murderer, Aaron 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.720 Patterson's a radic past revealed and the photographs of her 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.840 that the ABC was reluctant to publish. Israel nominates Donald 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.639 Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll ask Michaylia Cash 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.760 if she thinks Trump is a deserving nominee. Shortly and 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.920 three are charged over the storming of a Melbourne restaurant. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.640 The Israeli Ambassador Emir Maimond would join me tonight for 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.600 an exclusive interview. That's all coming up, but first tonight. 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:02.200 Anthony Albinezi today confirmed he'll visit China this Saturday. This 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.200 is truly astonishing that he's about to meet Chinese President 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.720 she for the fourth time, while he still hasn't managed 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.039 to secure a single meeting with the US president. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.520 The pair, in fact have never met. 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:21.800 Despite Trump winning the election on November fourth, eight months ago. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.679 Eight months here was ALBINIZI please, there's punch to announce 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.840 he's visiting China on Saturday. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:34.440 I look forward to going to Shanghai, Beijing and Qingdu, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.040 which I will visit from Saturday. China is an important 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.200 trading partner for Australia. Twenty five percent of our exports 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.399 go to China. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.880 This is deeply worrying. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.640 Let's not forget China's aggressive treatment of Australia over the 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:57.360 past decade. It's taken foreign interference and espionage to new levels. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:02.720 It's repeatedly try to interfere in our political system, our democracy, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:08.400 with covert influence operations launched to infiltrate our parliament. It's 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.760 something ASIO Director General Mike Burgess has spoken about at length. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.880 There've been aggressive actions as well towards our military. This 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:22.240 includes Australian Navy divers sustaining minor injuries after a sonar 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.600 attack from a Chinese warship. The incident took place while 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:31.480 Albanzi was at Apec, but the Prime Minister didn't bother 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.080 to raise it with she, as you can see in 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:39.120 this footage. Instead, there was a warm greeting the government 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.960 didn't even make the incident public at all until after 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.080 that meeting. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.560 He had an opportunity last week at APEC to raise 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:53.800 this very significant incident with Jijingping, and it turns out, well, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.120 it appears that he did not, And so now we 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.359 have the Chinese government deflicting and indeed you could say 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.440 gas lighting us. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.680 In another incident, China also dropped flares dangerously close to 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.400 an Australian patrol flight. And then, of course there was 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:16.760 more recently China's live fire military exercises off the Tasman Sea. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.040 Now at its worst this could have downed an Australian flight. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.920 No notice was given, despite Albanesi initially defending the communist 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.800 state by claiming China had provided advance warning. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.840 Well, it had it, as it turned out, and it was. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.960 Left to a virgin pilot to tell authorities what was 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.720 going on. Then there was the Chinese dual purpose research 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.560 vessel circumnavigating our southern coast at the start of the 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:50.640 election campaign, and going back further, China slapped coercive trade 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.400 tariffs on Australia in response for the very sensible demand, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.400 obvious demand that there should be an independent inquiry into 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:05.720 the origin of the pandemic, an inquiry that never happened. Now, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.680 Albanezi can barely bring himself to criticize Beijing, yet he's 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.760 got no qualm speaking in a demeaning fashion about both 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:20.000 the United States and our other allies like Israel. Foreign 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.440 editor The Australian Greg Sheridan makes this point. He says, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.159 it's worth noting that as the PM prepares for his 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.120 fourth meeting with She but apparently won't go to Washington 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.400 to meet Donald Trump, he's now making strategic speeches more 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.880 welcome in Beijing than in Washington, and the Prime Minister 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:45.360 seems to find every excuse for China's intimidation of our country. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.320 Yet, make no mistake. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.760 The threat China posers is the very reason we need 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.039 a strong military. It's the very reason we need a 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.000 strong relationship with the United States. We don't have the 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.839 defense capability to defend ourselves. We'd have to rely on 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.760 the goodwill of the President of the day and our 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:12.120 long standing alliance with the United States, an alliance that 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:17.559 is at its rockiest moment in fifty years. Ever since 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.440 the Battle of the Coral Sea, Australia and America have 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:26.040 stood side by side, but now Albanezi risks it all 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.640 as he coses up to Beijing and refuses to cooperate 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:37.120 with the United States on defense spending. I want to 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.719 turn now to the devastating flash flooding in Texas that's 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.719 taken away so many beautiful young lives. In the early 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.560 hours of Friday morning, a month's worth of rain poured 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:54.120 down on Texas hill country. The Guadalupa River rose twenty 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:59.000 meters in a matter of minutes. It was swift and 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.960 it was merciless. A Christian girls camp, camp Mysstic, was 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:09.159 the worst hit. This haunting photograph shows thirteen girls and 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.760 two counselors who were staying in a cabin near the river. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.960 You can see their beautiful smiles as they began their 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.360 summer camp. But five days after that photograph was taken, 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:28.159 all of those girls, including the two counselors, were swept away. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.880 Ten of their bodies have been recovered and three are 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:33.560 still missing. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.440 In the morning, they gathered all the counselors who were 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.159 at Cypress Lake and they told us that two of 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.440 sorry two of the cabins with the seven year old 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.040 girls wiped away, and that all these girls were missing. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:58.760 The aftermath is now a devastating scene of colorful backpacks, pink. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.760 Toys, and right clothes. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:06.560 Parents grappling with the unbearable reality that their little. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.599 Girls will never return home. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:15.440 Children who survived the flood sang as they were sadly evacuated. 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:22.000 Amid those devastating scenes of wreckage, sprayse. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.520 God, I want my world to know the Lord over 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:27.280 has come to me. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.400 I want to pass the scion. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.440 In total, one hundred people have been confirmed dead in 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.760 the flash flooding, but this is likely to still rise, 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:50.560 with dozens unaccounted for. Divers, helicopters, and even drones are 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:55.360 being used in the desperate search for survivors. One forty 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.880 five year old dad has told of trying to kayak 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.680 to reach his daughters and his parents, who were staying 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.760 in a different cabin closer to the river, but he 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.160 said his kayak was knocked against a post. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:09.160 He said if he. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.840 Went any further it would have been a death sentence. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.520 His daughters and father were killed, and his mother's body 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.120 is still missing. One family was camping when the rains 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.080 grew heavy. A mother of four, Amanda, tells how her 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.160 husband was monitoring the river, and he made, in hindsight, 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.560 the very lucky decision to evacuate in the middle of 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.280 the night, and. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.959 Once the water kind of started coming over the bank, 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.800 is when he came in and said, we need to 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:40.440 go now. 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:41.640 And it was just. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.920 The whole family just immediately went into let's just get 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.280 out of here. One of my sons grabbed all the. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.200 Dogs from higher ground. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:57.079 The family heard the devastation and chaos, the screams as 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:58.360 the river rushed in. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.080 The sound of the campers and cabins just crushing against 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:08.600 each other. That was the first of it, and that's 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.360 what caught our attention. So I immediately went to our staff, 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.600 went through all our belongings, found PFDs life jackets for 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.839 all the children and said, you know, put this on. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:20.800 And now. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.680 The survivor told of how he and his wife went 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.040 with the current until they clung onto a tree and 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.040 waited for help. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.480 Things were getting dice here by the moment. We couldn't 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.199 tell if the water is going to continue to rise, 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.280 so I said, we need to get out of the house. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.920 So I grabbed my wife and we literally jumped in 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.040 the water, and it swept us down to about two 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.760 hundred feet down that way, and there was a great 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.360 murle tree that we grabbed hold of and we waited 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:48.880 for rescue. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.560 The question is how could this happen in America, of 0:09:53.600 --> 0:10:00.200 all places with supposedly first world emergency response systems. There 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.280 was one warning on Thursday at one eighteen pm that 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.920 heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding across counties, but the 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:14.280 forecasters only predicted three to seven inches of rain. Another 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.400 warning at six' ten pm said flash flooding was likely 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:24.240 Across Central texas, overnight but the most urgent awnings warnings 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.840 came when everyone was, asleep from one am. Onwards it 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:32.319 was a warning at three am of catastrophic potential loss 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.080 of life and a flash flood emergency for the. Region 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.000 that was the most, Crucial but three, am of, course 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.079 was too, little too. Late there were no serious advanced 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.360 warnings or orders to evacuate from, authorities and even at 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.720 one am there were no external warning sirens that rang. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.480 Out already at that, time The Guadalupa river had reached 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.840 a flooding stage Near Camp. Mystic the worst impact was 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:05.199 between four am, am when survivors described a raging torrent 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.360 coming in and it's clear to see in the pictures 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:16.680 that utter. Devastation caverns and other buildings completely, destroyed trees 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:23.959 and cars floated, downstream debris. Everywhere one survivor described how 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.280 cars were floating past with people inside yelling for, help 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:33.800 help that would never. Come one survivor said it was pitch, 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.880 black so all you see was the lights floating and 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:44.280 people screaming and banging against the window and. Honking but 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.920 there were other young lives. Saved about seven miles From Camp, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.600 mystic there was an employee at The presbyterian Mo Ranch 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.880 assembly who noticed the rising water levels and managed to 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:01.840 evacuate seventy children and their chaperones between two thirty am 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.079 and four. Am she managed to move them to higher 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.079 ground and saved all of their. Lives for the families 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.640 of over one hundred, people many children weren't so. Lucky 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.520 Evacuation systems and warning sirens that should have been in, 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:23.040 place given the area is prone to flash, flooding just weren't. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.440 There the last major flooding of The guadaloupa was in 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.800 nineteen eighty seven and it killed. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.320 Ten teenagers who were attending a church. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.480 Camp so this has happened, before and there was a 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.280 similar flood that destroyed cottages in nineteen thirty. Two there, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.640 will of, course now no, doubt be inquiries and investigations 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.520 and accountability and answers are. Needed but this won't bring 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:51.000 any relief to the heartbroken parents who sent, happy, smiling 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.440 healthy children off to summer, camp only to have now 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.000 lost them. Forever they're now facing the cruel and unth 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.720 thinkable reality of their world's shattered by the pain of 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:13.800 losing their precious. Children And i'll be crossing live To 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.440 Central texas for more on the devastating floods later this, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.080 hour but first let's get into the day's top. Stories 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.920 there's a lot going on, today and joining me tonight 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.640 is Former speaker of The House Bronwan bishop and A 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.280 Dony media Founder. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.880 Lisa, gottaitt and good to see you both. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.000 Now in a shock, move THE rba has kept interest 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.800 rates on hold at three point eighty five percent, today 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:40.080 which has denied mortgage relief for millions Of. Australians and 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.880 here was THE Rba Governor Michelle, bullock defending this decision this. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:51.439 Afternoon decision today was about was about timing rather than. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.160 Direction AND i Think i've made this point in the, 0:13:56.200 --> 0:14:00.360 past but our full cast guidess and, yes they get 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.360 more uncertain the further we go, out but at least 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.000 in the near, term what we're looking for is confirmation 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.079 that we are basically on our full cast. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.720 Path, now the decision to hold was not. Unanimous some 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.600 of the board members wanted a, cut But Michelle bullock 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.720 argues it would have been a betrayal. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.680 If she'd let inflation get out of. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.360 Hand So, brunman what we're looking at here is families 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.480 who are continue who continue to grapple with the cost 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.160 of living. Crisis THE rba says inflation isn't yet under. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.320 Control do you think they made the right decision to hold? 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.600 Today, WELL i think there's another point where you have 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.400 to discuss the fact that for the first time we've 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.640 seen as a split in the board making the, decision 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.440 AND i think that weakens confidence in The Reserve bank 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:55.480 because it shows it's not a. Certainty it makes it less. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.720 Certain could be, right could be wrong is how people 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.480 will see. It and angry because everybody was telling them 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.920 there's going to be a, cut and people with mortgages 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.440 and people who are renting are affected by that as. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:14.600 Well just didn't. Happen SO i think there's a worry 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.240 the way the new board is, constructed and this discussion 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:22.360 and that very fierce press conference, afterwards everybody was, saying, 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.280 well how did you? Vote how did The secretary of 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:30.160 The treasury? Vote who was wanting to bring them? Down 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.280 SO i think they've created a big problem for. Themselves 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.720 and then of course you had the treasurers, say, oh, 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.840 WELL i don't comment on what they, do they're. Independent 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.400 then of course he sends out The Australia institute to 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.720 speak for The Labor party and attack the judgment of 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.560 the of the. Decision SO i think it was a 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.560 very unsatisfactory. DAY i think a lot of people will 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:59.520 continue to. HURT i think waiting for the quarter figures 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.400 seems to be the basis of the decision could be 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.600 seen to be super. Cautious but my main concern is 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.480 that now When Michelle, bullock despite the FACT i think 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:17.680 she's very, GOOD i think they are now less regarded 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.360 as giving good judgment because there's obviously. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.720 Splits, yeah, indeed when it's not, unanimous you, know you wonder. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:27.600 Like viage was. Right. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.240 Now the issue as, well, is of course the political 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.600 reaction to this had there been a rate, cut where 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.760 Likely lisa would have seen The Albert easy government out 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.120 claiming credit for, it no. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:39.760 Doubt but yet when. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.280 There's, Not oh it's because of global, uncertainty which, yes 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.440 of course does play a, factor but this is how 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:47.040 it will play. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.240 Out, yeah so you're exactly. Right and to pick up 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.000 further On broman's, point you're talking about the changes with THE. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.520 Rba this was all meant to be about, transparency AND 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.120 i think you're, Right. BRODWIN i think you're going to 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.680 have Average australians now who are sitting home trying to 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.480 do their household budgets looking at those, figures and there'll 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.320 be a witch hunt, now or at least the chase 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.520 on to try to understand exactly who was for it 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.040 and who was against it and what were those driving factors. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.360 There and you're, right it will put doubt and questions 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.880 around the confidence that we have in THE rba moving, 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.399 forward because, tonight as we sit, here there are families 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.359 at home now working out how can we afford that 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.600 next carton of, eggs how can we afford that next 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.920 life of? Bread and to Watch Jim charmers today very 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.240 much if he had announced AN rba interest rate cut. 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.440 Today he would have been out there. Gloating he would 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.080 have been claiming it as a victory for the labor. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.920 Government this is very, MUCH i think a judgment call 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.040 on how labor is running this. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.640 Economy, indeed, well. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.200 Let's return to the guilty verdict of mushroom Murderer Aaron. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:43.720 Patterson and she spent. 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.320 Her first four day in jail, today this after she 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.840 was found guilty of three counts of. Murder, now since the, 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.359 verdict parts of her checkered past have been. Revealed The 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.920 Australian today reporting That Aaron patterson abruptly left her job 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.159 as an air traffic controller amid concerns about her behavior 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.600 and treatment of. Colleagues and this is according to a 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:08.160 former staff Member Roman what else can? You what else 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.159 have we now learned About Aaron? Patterson now that the 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.679 media are free to publish stories about her, past they 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:15.720 wouldn't be in contempt of. 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:17.600 Court, Now, well. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.440 The trouble with this whole case is it's become an 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.560 international phenomenon and there are going to be people wanting 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.040 to make money out of. It they are going to 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.679 be offers being made to the former. Husband they are 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.880 going to be offers made to the survivor of the attempted, 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.840 murder and we're going to hear all sorts of people 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.520 coming forward and, saying, WELL i knew, her AND i 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.919 think she was a, enoughcase OR i knew this she 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.760 was came in with wearing the same clothes all the. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.280 TIME i thought that was a very curious. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.000 Comment SO i don't think we've seen the end of 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.800 this for a long long. Time but when you heard 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.520 the doctor come out and make, COMMENTS i thought that 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.399 was quite. Dramatic BUT i think there's going to be, 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.160 many many people coming out making more and more comments 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.160 because it is such a bizarre. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:04.800 Case it really. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:12.880 Is it is quite beyond the sheer thinking about going 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.800 to pick those motions toadstools is what they, are and 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.200 to put them into a Berth, wellington which was a 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.680 very Popular edish in the. Eighties IF i recall and 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.439 set out to actually give them a painful, death it's. 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.080 Pretty, horrendous it really. Is it really, is and. 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.000 That's WHY i think there are going to be lots 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.800 and lots of people sought to give more and more 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.920 opinions to try and see what it is that brought 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.840 about this serial, killer. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.920 AND i just feel sorry for her children as. Well 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.120 they'd be doing with so. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.440 Much for the other. Children but what about. 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.920 This you would have seen the photographs Of Aaron patterson 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.959 that were taking yesterday on the front page of the papers. Today, 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.520 well THE, abc it turns, out considered not publishing these 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:59.199 unflattering images of the convicted mushroom killer because THE abc 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.880 was concerned about her privacy and. 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.359 Distress this is. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.680 According to internal staff emails obtained By Steve jackson At The. 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:12.720 Australian so THE abc is worried about the privacy of 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.280 a convicted triple. Murderer NOW i understound these photographs cuss 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.960 around ten thousand dollars and many media outlets did pay 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.040 that amount of. Money we didn't At, Sky but it 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:28.320 wasn't because of the privacy of a. KILLER i mean 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.120 that was the ABC's, concern which is utterly, Bizarre. 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:37.280 Lisa THE abc has suddenly grown a conscience about what 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.199 it wants to show and what it doesn't and to 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.639 describe them as, unflattering that's not enough to say in 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.040 an editorial, decision we are not going to run these. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.679 Photos as you, say she's now a convicted, murderer serial 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.560 killer if you like what you used the fact that 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.320 there was conversations inside THE abc to, say we've used 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.879 taxpayer funded money buy these, images but now we are 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.840 not sure as to whether we can whether it was 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.480 stand the public interest argument or. NOT i just think 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.040 that they're sitting on a moral high horse that they 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:06.919 don't normally sit on at all if you look at 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.320 any of the graphic images that they quite happily put 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.159 out there on many other. Stories on this one they 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.439 suddenly tried to, say, well we're going to be holier 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.320 than now and not run. THEM i don't think that's 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.840 the right thing to. DO i understand the conversation needs 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:20.440 to be, had And, sharry you would have been in 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.440 newsrooms where these conversations have. Had but she's a convicted. 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.200 Murderer the public has a right to see, IT i think. 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.439 EXACTLY i mean worried about protecting the privacy of a 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.120 triple murderer WHEN i mean when THE abc has, acted 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.440 in my, view in such a morally corrupt fashion when 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.240 it comes TO i, mean they used to cover the 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.600 anti samitism crisis for a very long. 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:42.720 Time now they. 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.560 Are BUT i Mentioned Heston, russell what they did to him, 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:51.240 exactly absolutely lied about him and had to pay. Damages 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:55.159 and you're quite right the coverage of the anti Semitism, yes, indeed, 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:56.840 yes indeed you're quite. 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.840 Right before well added the gunshots that absolutely, Yes so 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.360 if you but the point you made about the way 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.760 they covered the Anti semitism, issue it's just been. 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.800 Appalling so it just shows what a mess they're. 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:09.440 IN i, mean if. 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.840 Really watching THE, abc you would be shocked to hear 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.600 That trump might get A nobel peace. 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:15.200 Price but it's happening well. 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.840 Quite, FRANKLY i think that was a brillant suggestion of 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.360 The Israeli Prime minister to Nominate. Trump when you look 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.560 at the work that he did with The Abraham, accords 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:28.800 when you look at the sheikhs who are now saying 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:30.800 that they would like to be part of The Abraham, 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.760 accord they're looking for.
