WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 22 May 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:06.720 From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Oh 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:09.760 you wait, Oh you wait. We're going to Cannsa this weekend. 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:11.119 Do I do it in the man caved or do 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.400 it in cans Something will happen. Thank you so much 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.360 for watching, Thank you Caleb, and thank you for joining 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:16.880 us tonight. There is a lot to get to, but 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:18.959 of course let's start off with a focus of what 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.639 is happening in and around the mid north coast of 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:25.520 New South Wales. Thousands of people still nowhere near their homes. 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.640 Huge issues that are happening there in and around the floods. Thankfully, 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.040 in and around some of the areas we were talking 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:36.599 about last night. The water is starting to subside, excellent, 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:41.200 but the rain that's been pounding away is continuing to move. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.040 This time it's starting to move a little bit to 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:47.600 south the next couple of days. Really again more communities 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.800 having to deal with things, let alone everyone who is 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.560 dealing with what they are right now. So as you 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.200 can see the areas that are affected, Coughs, Harbor, Kempsey, 0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:00.880 Mount Seaview, Port Macquarie, tare little places like war Hope, 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.600 William Town, in and around Newcastle. To give you an 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.120 idea again Mount Seaview. This is a place where I 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:08.720 think I went on I did. I went on school 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:13.880 camps there any decades ago. That is six hundred and 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.479 sixty two millimeters that they have copped in the past 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.720 of the while beautiful Port Macquarie four hundred and sixteen 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:25.280 Carrey's Peak six hundred and fourteen, basically a month's worth 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.360 of rain in the best part of twenty four hours. Now, sadly, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.360 we have had reports and confirmation not just to people missing, 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.440 but of people who have lost their lives. Here is 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:36.559 the latest on those. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:39.119 So so far we. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.399 Have recovered three bodies by emergency service as a result 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.520 of the plot operation, while the. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.920 Search for a man missing in Nimbo the year is. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:53.200 Continuing bloody, awful and sadly, given that some homes are 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.160 unavailable to be inspected, we hope that that number does 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.400 not increase. But until the water subsides everyone able to 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.520 go back, we're able to check that everyone's safe. Then 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.680 our fear is that these things get much much worse. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.520 Strength and love, of course to all of the families 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.200 who are deeply disrupted. The expectation from the sees. So 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:12.920 when we were talking to them last night was get 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.720 ready for a few days in and around some of 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:21.200 the emergency accommodation. About five thousand and nine hundred evacuation 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:26.560 orders currently are all over different parts of the Mid 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.640 North Coast and in and around New South Wales. There 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.639 are ten six hundred people who are currently under the 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:39.160 emergency warnings. As for the key locations, and again it's 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.880 lots of places. If you're watching us on sky News Regional, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.480 listening to us via the apps, places like Manning, Gloucester, 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.520 the Hastings and Maclay River, you've known that for the 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.120 past couple of days. Prepare to isolate. That is the 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.040 message that is coming from government officials about Tarre, Gloucester 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.280 and Wingham. Wingham, of course not too far from Tarre 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.520 evacuate now settlement Point again not too far from Port mcquarie, 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.560 kemc Smithtown and the Nambuca region, specifically in and around Maxville. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.080 Anyone who remembers a drive through there knows the post 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.359 office on Maxwell that you can see from the highway. Yep, 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.880 that's exactly the area that we are talking about. There's 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.120 more detail, much more specific at hazard watch dot gov 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.120 dot AU. That's a federal government site that also feeds 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.400 through to the state government information. If you need help, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.520 please write the number down one three to five hundred 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.839 if you need the sees there's lots of people doing 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.160 lots of work everywhere, and please Triple zero is for 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.520 scenarios where someone's life is in danger. So if it's 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.680 about flooding and things to do with your house and 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.320 a need for a tarp or all of that, one three, two, 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.840 five hundred, if someone's life is in danger, that's the 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.000 only time to be calling triple O. Here are some 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.520 of the people that have been dealing with the worst 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.360 of weather of the past couple of days. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.840 Spratt, but I feel sorry for everybody is. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.280 The sheer amount of local rain has just inundated all 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.360 of the towns, all of our storm water, and there's 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.120 currently nowhere for that water to go. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.960 Not interested in empty big promises of emergency declarations and 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.680 then nothing happens. So we need people on the ground. 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.520 And that's all the way through from obviously rescuing people 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.880 through to making sure that people have accommodation and then 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.599 food and clean water to drink. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.599 Yeah, that is the case. Of course, it's not just 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.880 people in those evacuations centers, but trying to move from 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.320 those evacuations centers somewhere, but the roads cut in lots 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.400 of different ways and lots of different places, meaning that 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.159 it is very difficult to be able to get somewhere, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.000 to be able to find a place to put your 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.760 head down, or more importantly the rest of the family, kids, grandkids, 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.000 Strength and love to everyone who's dealing with this. This 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.679 is not just pictures on the TV. This, of course 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.520 real life and real matters of life and death, and 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.719 also huge amounts of trauma that are going to be 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.880 playing out over the next few days. That's why at 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.560 the start of the show, I'm trying to do the 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.520 breaking news information only stuff. We're getting too opinion, politics, 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.039 and the rest of the days other things in a 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.479 couple of moments time. As for the actual path of 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.640 the weather here, the great thing about being at sky 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.560 News is that, of course we have sky News Weather 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.880 twenty four to seven, and you can see that on 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.720 Foxtell Flash, or you can see it many times on 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.159 sky News Regional. You can also get all the information 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.640 at sky news dot com dot au a team at 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.400 the Weather Channel. The latest for you is this. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.560 Over the next six hours, we're still looking at the 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.479 potential for rainfall totals in this area between sixty and 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.599 one hundred millimeters after midnight. This is forecast to ease 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.880 pulling southwards on Friday, though the risk shifts towards parts 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.040 of the central Coast, the Blue Mountains, the Illawarra, and 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.960 then down towards the ranges of the south coast. Twenty 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.000 four hour totals here could exceed one hundred to one 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.920 hundred and fifty millimeters. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.680 Now again, lots of people watching us on Sky News 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.440 Regional to the south of Sydney. When you have a 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.240 look at areas like Bateman's Bay that we did in 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.560 our town show just a couple of months at remember 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.880 part of that story was five years ago. When it 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.440 comes to fires, lots of little places in the rumor, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.280 you name it, All of those places Sussex in all 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.440 of those places are going to be part of the 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.440 ongoing front of the next few days. I've got to say, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.200 I don't you know, I'm in total admiration about how 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.120 emergency services deal with things as they are happening, as 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.640 well as try to get ahead of themselves. But the 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.000 job of what has just happened a couple of days 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.480 ago and is still happening in and around tai Well, 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.800 that of course would be many, many weeks of work 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.880 that needs to be done, let alone as that all 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.160 starts to move around. I also want to say thank 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.440 you to so many people who are so loyal to 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.480 what we do here and who have been so kind 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.719 to our reporters, our camera crews, and all of our 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:53.640 producers in the newsroom. Because you trust us to tell 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.159 your story, We've been able to tell stories in ways 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.520 that others haven't who may just be rolling into town. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.800 Thank you so much to the emergency services people who 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.000 have helped our reporters and camera crews get from one 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.880 side of a river to another. Thank you to people 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.120 that have lent boats. And again, thank you to people 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.920 who are telling their stories. You know that it's not 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.200 just about these days, but it's about the recovery, and 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.480 once the emergency part of this starts to move we're 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.680 going to keep on the conversation as we did with 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.760 Liz Moore, as we have when it came to the 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.240 potential of what was going to happen with the tropical 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:33.720 cyclone and extropical cyclone Alfred. Well, there's questions around things 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.760 like insurance, all of that. We will talk about it 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.840 on this show. If you've got concerns, if you've got issues, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.960 send me emails. Obviously we're not an emergency service, but 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.960 if we can yell at someone on your behalf happy 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.000 to do it. All right, Paul, It's gonews dot com 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.280 dot au. The premiere of New South Wales is Chris Mins. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.480 Fresh from dealing with the natural disasters that he's had 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.480 to deal with in his two years as being premier, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.920 he is saying this tonight. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.120 It's really incumbent upon you to listen to emergency services 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.560 to make sure that you're making decisions in the best 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.680 interest of your family and your community. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.440 All right. The Assistant Commissioner of the SEES in New 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.600 South Wels is Colin Malone. Let's get back to talking 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:13.920 to him. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:14.480 Colin. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.440 Where is the focus particularly tonight? 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.440 Good evening, Paul, and good evening to all the viewers. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.800 The focus tonight continues from Kempsey all the way down 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.800 and as you reported earlier, we're seeing the weather system 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.000 move in through metropolitan Sydney and it'll move down the 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.680 South coast overnight. O advice from the Bureau is it's 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.520 going to move a bit quicker as it gets through 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.040 the night, and what we will see down on the 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.319 metropolitan Sydney and the South Coast, we won't see that 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.840 lingering rain that hung around for a long time, so 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.600 it should move through there within the twenty four hour period, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.720 hopefully not causing the same level of problems we had 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.480 up on the mid North Coast. But as you mentioned, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.040 we're not out of the woods up in the Kempsey 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.600 down to that Dungog area. We've still got quite a 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.839 bit of water around. We've still got people out of 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.920 their houses, so we're going to be with them for 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.400 the long haul as we move into the recovery side 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:12.079 of the activity. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.319 Yeah, we're deliberately putting the map up so people are 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.520 able to obviously work out where they are, work out 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.040 where family and friends are as well. So Colin, again, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.120 the messaging that you're getting from the Bureau of Meteorology 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.079 is yet a lot of rain. There certainly was a 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.080 lot of rain in and around Sydney today, a little 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.280 bit more intensity as you say, starting to move south, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.480 but the expectation is not going to be like a 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.440 month's worth of rain in one day. Heavy falls in 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.520 lots of different places, or is the expectation that what 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.240 dropped on Taree now moves down the coast or does 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.360 it weaken as it moves down the coast. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.520 The advice where you have from the Bureau just before 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.559 I come into this hookup was that it is not 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:54.960 going to be like what we've had up in the 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.280 Tari area. It will definitely have some heavy rain and 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.120 it's going to be quite widespread. But as it gets 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.160 to the weekend, we should see that going out to 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.480 sea off the south coast, and that will allow us 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.800 to continue to watch those rivers go down, because, as 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.760 you mentioned, particularly in those areas are still well flooded, 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.760 and all the viewers know that they're living in that 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.679 area with the highway shut, it's going to take a 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.960 few days for that to reced properly and for us 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.440 to be able to properly get in there and do 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.560 all the right assessments and help with get ready as 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.520 we lead into that recovery effort. Now we're already providing 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.199 all of our information we have to the other agencies 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.240 and we'll work together. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.360 Now, Colin, believe me, every word you have to say 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.120 way more important than anything I'm going to say for 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.280 the next hour, So apologies for interrupting. Now we know 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.520 that say in relation to the lis More floods of 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.320 a couple of years ago, was that one of the 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.960 problems people start to talk about is once you're able 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.280 to get home, or after the waters have receded that 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.600 you thought were coming towards your house, these sorts of 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.440 things that the power is not going to come back on. Now, 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.240 there's lots of reasons for that, but also there's a 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.800 need for electricians to almost check literally every plug in 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.680 the house to make sure it's okay. Then you do 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.640 that house to house, then you go straight to street, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.719 then we go suburb to suburb. In the Queensland scenario, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.800 they literally are the Energet's company. There was giving absolute 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.080 details street by street and house by house. That's the 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.080 way they do it in Queensland. Give us an idea 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.800 for those that are on the fringe of it or 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.240 it goes past how do they check the information about 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.840 things like electricity and how and is part of what 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.480 the SEES does to have a bunch of electricians as 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.920 part of your movement who can help supplement some of 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.280 that emergency checking. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.640 Yeah, so to some initial advice for your your viewers 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.120 and listeners is on the SES website for those that 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.559 can get onto the websites at the moment. We do 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.840 have a range of guides of what to do before, during, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.920 and after flooding. So you're talking one hundred percent about 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.360 what to do after flooding, and there's some checklists and 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.520 guides on things that residents can do themselves. As far 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.839 as we will work hand in glove with the reconstruction 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:17.520 authority and they will lead the reconstructions effort, but we 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.679 don't stop getting involved the moment that that starts happening. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.839 It's a partnership by all the government agencies, so our 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.800 members and the emergency responders will still be there, working 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.080 hand in glove to do our best to get people 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.120 back into their homes as quick as possible. You're right, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.440 utilities are a critical thing. The last thing we want 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.400 is someone going in and just switching the power on 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.120 and then because everything's wet, they end up getting electrocuted. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.000 There's also gas and the restarting of gas mains and 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.320 the restarting of gas pilot lights and all of those 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.439 sort of things really need to be done in. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:50.160 A control way. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.439 So for a lot of those areas. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.600 We're a little while off that. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.319 And when I say a little while, we're a few 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.079 days until the water is properly receded and all clears 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.520 are given. Right now, at this point in time, there's 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.080 still forty humanity warnings in place for different communities that 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.360 are under evacuation guidance, and we need them to not 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.720 be rushing back to their places until the proper clearance 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.320 is given to go back in. And that's for their safety. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.280 I know they want to get home, they want to 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.360 make sure their property is okay, and they want to 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.440 check on things, but we want to do it in 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.839 a way that doesn't result in them feeling they need 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.760 to get to their home and perhaps driving through some 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.800 floodwater to get there and then causing another flood rescue. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.080 So we want people to be safe. That's at the 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:32.840 heart of our mission. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.079 Yeah, and this is the thing where look, I get it. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:40.200 Everyone's tired. You want to get back to working out 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.720 how to start to pivot towards normal. But again remember, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.520 particularly with the SEES, volunteers are there to help, the 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.000 organization is there to help, and to understand they are 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.840 moving as fast as humanly possible, and again, in a 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.840 scenario that has already taken life, let's make sure that 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.560 those numbers are as low as possible. All right, I 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.560 know you've got plenty of other commitments to be across, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.560 but really, thank you so much, Colin, and thank you 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.480 to our team who've just turned this around here too, 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.320 which is part of the stuff you can see on 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.120 the SEES website right now SEES dot NSW, dot gov 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.360 dot Au. Also, again, if you're somebody just watching from 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.040 a little further away, you're not involved in the emergency 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.160 part of all of this, then again I'll point you 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.080 in the direction of things like hazard watch dot gov 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.960 dot au where you can look from afar, study the maps, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.200 all the rest of it. And if that takes a 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.040 little pressure off a website, good and fine and fair enough. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.760 One final time, one three two five hundred one three 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.560 two five hundred Colin, Thank you mate, Thank you to 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.000 all of the volunteers and the professional staff of course 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.600 at the SEES and the wider emergency movement. We really 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:41.920 appreciate what you're doing, mate. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.520 Thank you, Paul and all your viewers. Have an amazing 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:47.840 night and stay safe. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.840 Good man. Thank you so much. There is really appreciate it, Colin, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.720 because you know these moments and I get it right. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.280 When you're on the fringe of things, you go hang on. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.400 You know, I'm on the fringe of things. There's a 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.920 reason why you can't go back just yet. Expectation is 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.160 if you try to set yourself up for a marathon, 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.280 and nobody knows how long that marathon's going to be. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.400 But if you set the expectation of a multi day marathon, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.160 then it does take not some of the stress, but 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.680 it does help with your way of navigating, say the 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.400 expectations of the kids, or some of the heightened emotions. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.400 But again, to any and everyone who is helping, Thank 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.760 you to any and everyone who is suffering. Strength and 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.640 love from all of us here at sky News and 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.360 obviously myself in particular. If there's any more news, I'll 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.880 tell you about it the second you need to know. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:38.640 Make sure your homepage skynews dot com dot A. All right, politics, 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.400 Well that was quick. A couple of day breakup, thankfully 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:47.160 the trial separation. Mom and dad decided nap, probably let's 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.080 find a way to get back together. Good, excellent, fantastic. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.560 A little later, we're gonna have a chat to Kevin Hogan, 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.480 who's the deput leader of the Nationals. And I've got 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.480 to say what I've enjoyed about talking to say David 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.160 Little proud of the leader or the former leader, and 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.080 Michael McCormick all looking forward to with Kevin straight shooters. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.800 Great thing about talking to a National Party person. This 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.960 is all about four things, four things that I think 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.960 are pretty obviously going to be beyond sticking points now 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.640 and they will be sorted out. It means that everyone's 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.640 holding off and there's no need to rush to name 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.720 shadow ministries. Parliament's not back until towards the back end 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.280 of July, so there is some time to go through it. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.360 But thankfully what seemed just a couple of days ago 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.480 as the course apart is now starting to chart back together. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.760 Good to see. But yet again, and you note this 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.000 right because we talked to National Party MPs on the 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.600 telly all the time. We talk to One Nation people 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.920 on the telly all the time, to most of the 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.080 people who work professionally in the press gallery in Cameron 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.640 and there are obviously some wonderful exceptions, including my colleagues 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.520 here at skyte News, but you know these are people 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.320 who Radio National act bubble kind of people, and they 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.280 don't get the Nats, and they certainly don't understand some 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.080 of the things that have been behind the events of 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.720 the past few days. And I just wanted to show you, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.080 just like we did during the federal election campaign, how 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.920 the media interact with people like David Little Proud. Now 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.560 there's also a strange little phenomena, and I again like 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.600 to tell you how the sausage is made. Sometimes not pretty, 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.800 but it's good to know. Is that, as you know, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.080 the press gallery in Camp the physical part of the building. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.680 It's part of Parliament House. It's not too far from 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.560 where the Senate is. It's a couple of levels up. 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.879 That's where all the TV studios and all the radio 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.320 studios are now generally speaking, Say, if David Little Proud 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.000 is doing an interview with Laura Jays in the morning 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.800 here at Sky News, he obviously physically goes into that building, 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.960 walks out, goes back to his office. But for some reason, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.320 this thing has built up over the past many years 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.040 that rather than just listening to what happened in the 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.080 interview that was planned, they all basically ambush the person 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.000 as soon as they walk out of another organization's studio, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.000 which is why you often see nonsense like this like 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:09.520 we saw today in the corridors of the press gallery. 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.840 Do you need firm commitments do. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.720 This in the first place, rather than rush and give 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:18.960 it time? 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.879 How you prepared to wait though? How much I'm to 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.720 the Liberals Nation dotate to that process? 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.720 Is it too early to say we're going to keep 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.000 we're not going to get back together? 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:32.240 It gets to know, yes, yes, yes we can, because 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.119 I can trust Susan. 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.520 The thing is, all of those questions had been asked 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.840 in the interview that inevitably he had done with the 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.360 ABC or Channel seven or anything else. But we live 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.240 in this very weird media culture where rather than just 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.959 going okay, they're doing an interview on ABC Radio, they 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.080 ask all the questions. Is it because they don't want 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.400 to show anything of a logo that's not their own? 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.120 We have to do the same thing over and over 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.640 and over again, and it makes it all look way 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.840 more chaotic. And then there are people who of course 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:01.240 make it all about themselves. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.400 What exactly take a question? 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.879 I feel like a lot of blokes that have been asking. 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.080 Questions, what does that have to do with anything like. 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.880 Literally it is every media organization in the country all 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.720 yelling at once. Oh but the gender parts all part 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.040 of it. Yes, the special angle over there on Channel 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:25.000 two fedding anyway, like it's always about them, always about them. 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.199 And because I pointed out, oh well, I cop it 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.720 in the neck. Don't care. All right, Let's talk now 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.639 about how people are standing up for their communities. Like 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.600 the new Queensland premiere David cruci Foley had is fed 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.160 under the desk for a few months, has already put 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:43.600 in the adult crime adult time jail laws, particularly for 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.920 youth offending or obviously about youth offending. They've now done 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.479 a couple of amendments without adding more offenses, where somebody 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.960 that's found guilty of something like a sexual assault will 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:57.359 end up serving adult time rather than just basically the 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.760 version of criminal TAFE, which has been the criminal justice 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.639
