WEBVTT - Sharri | 30 January

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Why.

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 2>On Sky News this is Sharry.

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 3>Good Evening Tonight, I'll exclusively reveal the two targets of

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 3>the caravan filled with explosives. These targets will send shock waves.

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 4>Through the community.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 3>So far, police and politicians have refused to tell you

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 3>the intended targets, but we believe you deserve to know.

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 4>That's in just a moment.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Also tonight, the Prime Minister slammed for going on the

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Kyle and Jackie Oh Show instead of taking major action

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 3>on this wave of anti Semitic terror.

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 5>The Prime Minister was nowhere to be.

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Seen, and David Ossi will join me to discuss this.

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 3>As parents awoke to yet more anti Semitic graffiti now

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 3>on a schoolgate, Jewish leaders are calling for twenty four

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>hour police outside of schools, and Rabbi Levi Wolf will

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>join me in studio at this time of fear and anxiety.

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Also on the show tonight, we'll bring you the latest

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 3>from that tragic plane crash in Washington, where first responders

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 3>are now searching for survivors, and breaking news as we

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 3>go to air. Three more hostages have been released by

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 3>her must to the Red Crossing Gaza. A Gumberger was

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>once again paraded on stage. She has just moments ago

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>been reunited in Israel. We'll come back to all of

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 3>that in a moment, but let's start now with the

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 3>major breaking news. I can tonight reveal the two targets

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>of the caravan filled with explosives. The addresses written down

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 3>inside the caravan were of the Great Synagogue in Sydney

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>and the Sydney Jewish Holocaust Museum. To think perpetrators would

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 3>have potentially targeted a museum commemorating the Holocaust, a time

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>when six million Jews were killed, is truly horrifying. This

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>is a museum to educate the public, to educate future generations,

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 3>and to honor the memories of those lost, and to

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 3>make sure that antisemitism never happens again. Now, that second

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 3>address inside the caravan, my sources tell me, is the

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Great Synagogue. This is a beautiful temple in the heart

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>of Sydney's CBD, a synagogue I know well. I had

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 3>my butt mits for there and my parents were married there. Now,

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 3>these targets, this is information the police haven't released publicly,

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 3>but we think you have the right to know. The

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 3>more information we know, the more the Jewish community can

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 3>protect themselves. David Ossif is on my show tonight and

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.119
<v Speaker 3>he confirms that no Jewish community or security organizations were

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 3>told about this terror threat before the Daily Telegraph broke

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 3>the news yesterday.

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 5>But the first we had specific information about this incident

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 5>was when the Daily Telegraph article was published.

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 3>And the Prime Minister, Anthony Albinizi is now facing questions

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>about what he knew and when, and he's under pressure

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>for his I mean, it's too soft a word to

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 3>say inadequate, but his inadequate handling of this wave of

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 3>anti Semitic terror in our country. He joked around on

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 3>a talkback radio station, an FM radio station instead of

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>holding a major press conference. First thing this morning, he

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>went on Kyle and Jackie O's show, where the first question.

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 4>Was what does the Prime Minister do on Christmas Day?

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>He could have come out or even come on here

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 3>on Sky News and answered tough questions about this wave

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 3>of domestic terror, but instead he chose to go on

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 3>a lighthearted breakfast radio show.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 6>But you don't even wake up on Christmas Day and

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 6>we'll get ur undies and just have a look what's

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 6>under the tree. There's none of that for you.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 7>Did you fly home straight after and spend it with the.

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 8>Family or none of that. Look it was Jodie came

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 8>up with me, So it was, and the Governor General

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 8>was there. It was one of the best things I

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 8>have done in my life because I've done heaves well

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 8>well that that could get both of us in trouble,

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 8>particularly me, well, yes, yes.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>Your job would be a jeopardy.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Cole to say this is disrespectful is an understatement. Eventually,

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 3>after some joking and back and forth, and I don't

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 3>blame Kyle and Jackie, oh, of course not.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 4>This is their radio show to their job. I blame

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 4>the Prime Minister for this.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 3>After some back and forth, they eventually got to the

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 3>thwarted terror attack.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 6>But thank god for an eagle eyed residence the Old God.

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 7>Or whoever that person is, has saved so many lives.

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 8>And the authorities, of course are continuing their investigation, the

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 8>Irish super regular briefings of course on security issues. And

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 8>could I say this to our police and our security

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 8>and intelligence age that she do do an amazing job

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 8>and people need to be held to account for what

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 8>are crimes and put these people in the clink and

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 8>keep them there, put them in.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 4>The clink and keep them there.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 3>How did we end up with this Prime Minister? And

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 3>that was his phrase for the day, put them in

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 3>the clink? He kept repeating it. The Prime Minister refused

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 3>to say today when he was told about this terror

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 3>threat of the caravan with explosives. The Premier Chris Mins

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 3>had no problem saying that he was briefed on January

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 3>the twentieth, but Albanezi, when asked, claimed that was an

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 3>operational question.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 9>So I mean, was it a few days after nineteen there?

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 9>You haven't give us a date.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 8>But I don't go into as I understood, I don't

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 8>go into operational details.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 3>When the Prime Minister was briefed by police is not

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 3>an operational matter. If it was, the Premier wouldn't have

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.919
<v Speaker 3>been able to answer the same question. Shadow Home Affairs

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Minister James Patterson said the Prime Minister needs to explain

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.679
<v Speaker 3>when he was told and what action he took.

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Here he was speaking with my colleague Chris Kenny.

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 10>When was the Prime Minister briefed? Was he briefed on

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 10>the same day as Chris Mins? And if so, what

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 10>action did he take in response to this? Did he

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 10>convene a National security Committee of Cabinet. What measures did

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 10>they put in place to protect the Jewish community and

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 10>all Australians. What reassurance did they provide the Jewish community

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 10>based on their knowledge of this incident, or if in

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 10>fact he was not briefed, then we need to understand why,

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 10>because if the new South Borols premier knows, that the

0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 10>Prime Minister should surely know.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 3>And Peter Darkan came out and said that this anti

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>submitted crisis is because the Prime Minister failed to take

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 3>early action.

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 11>This is a deeply concerning matter and it hasn't gone

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 11>away as an issue for our country. We're still seeing

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 11>overnight attacks on Jewish homes and when you have Holocaust

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 11>survivors who have lived in our country since nineteen forty

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 11>five in peace are now saying that they feel unsafe

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 11>in our country. It is a national disgrace and the

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 11>Prime Minister has presided over this deteriorating situation and I

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 11>want to make sure that we can do everything we can.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, Treasurer Jim Chalmers has apologized today after clumsy wording

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 3>on breakfast television when he implied that the Jewish community's

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 3>fears had sometimes been unfounded.

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 12>Look This is obviously a terrifying development, and what it

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 12>shows is that the fears that a lot of Australians

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 12>and the Jewish community have are not always unfounded. This

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 12>is a chilling course of events, deeply troubling, unsettling, and

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 12>what it shows is that the fears in the Jewish

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 12>community are not always unfounded.

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 3>The Treasurer told me today that he was sorry for

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 3>these choice of words, and I don't believe he's our enemy.

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Unlike alban Easy and Penny Wog and Tony Burke, the

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Treasurer has never been a pro Palestinian activist. Chalmers said

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 3>to me that he's had that relay to him how

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 3>it was interpreted, He said, I apologize. My intention was

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>to share and acknowledge the very real and understandable fears

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 3>and concerns in the Jewish community in light of recent events.

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 3>I could have and should have expressed that more clearly,

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 3>and I'm sorry I didn't. We've never ever heard Pennywang

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:58.440
<v Speaker 3>or Albanezi apologize for deliberately offending the community. And Jim

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 3>Chalmers told me he also phoned as more number of

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Jewish community leaders and relayed that message directly to them.

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Now I want to talk about the actual incident itself.

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 3>And here's what we know so far. Scott Marshall and

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Tammy Feruja. Now I showed you these two on my

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 3>show early last week. I was the first journalist to

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 3>name and show you the image of Scott Marshall there,

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 3>and I told you how they'd been charged in relation

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>or at least Tammy had been charged in relation to

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 3>the Willara vandalism where cars were torched and homes were graffiti.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 3>This was the second Willara vandalism incident, you may recall.

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I also showed you how Tammy had posted online looking

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 3>for a Jerry can. Well, now this same pair are

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 3>part of the police investigation relating to the caravan with explosives.

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>The Herald reported that Tammy posted online looking for a

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 3>caravan and here are those hosts.

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 4>There's two of them.

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Anyone got a caravan for sale? Need one asapp I've

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 3>got money. Police Commissioner Karen Webb said police did have

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 3>in custody the owner of the caravan.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 13>The owner registered owner of that caravan is a person

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 13>that is in custody on unrelated matters. The owner is

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 13>out of play and in custody.

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 3>And police are still investigating who's behind all of this.

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 4>They believe that career criminals have been hired to commit

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 4>these attacks.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 3>They say they are very confident that they'll catch the

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 3>perpetrators behind it.

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 13>All the matters, as I said, the graffiti overnight, will

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 13>be under investigation and taken as seriously as other matters

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 13>and will continue to hunt those people until we find them.

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>The New South Wales police are doing everything possible to

0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 2>catch these people.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 3>And carab Web went on to attack the Daily Telegraph

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 3>for publishing this information.

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 4>We wouldn't know about any of.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 3>This if it weren't for Mark Murray and his editor

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Ben English. And I can tell you the police didn't

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 3>ask the Telegraph not to publish. If they had, Ben

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 3>English of course would have held off publishing. He's not

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:29.079
<v Speaker 3>going to jeopardize a terrorist investigation. But the police didn't ask,

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 3>so there could be good operational reasons for not going public.

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 4>And we'll give the police the benefit of the doubt.

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 3>But given they look, you have to say lied or

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 3>at least misled us. Yesterday they claimed the Jewish community

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 3>had been informed, and we now know the Jewish community hadn't. Well,

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 3>we just have to wait until all the facts are

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 3>on the table. All right, let's bring in now my

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Thursday Night Panel four. I'm a Speaker of the House,

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Bronwin Bishop and National Senator Matt Canavan, Bronwen. This was

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 3>described as a potential terror attack. Had this exploded, this

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 3>could have caused a mass casualty event. Don't the public

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 3>deserve to know about this?

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 14>Absolutely they do. And now that the police are talking

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 14>about there being an organization behind these attacks, that they

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 14>are coordinated, let's go back to stage one of what

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 14>happened after the massacre of October seven, beheadings, rapes, atrocities

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 14>on human beings. What we saw was before Israel for

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 14>any action at all. We saw that dreadful demonstration at

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 14>the Opera House. Now nothing was done, but it happened

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 14>all over the world. It didn't happen by accident, or

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 14>did it. Was there some organization that made it spring

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 14>up to try and seize the ground and turn themselves

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 14>into victims. And if that's the case, is there a

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 14>broader network of people who perhaps are using that caravan

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 14>as a storage depot to which other people can be

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 14>told to go and they can collect explosives or they

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 14>can find lists or anything else they need to carry

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 14>out an anti Semitic act. Now it can be something

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 14>that's going to escalate and get worse until we do

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 14>see indeed deaths. So I found that conference with the

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 14>police quite confusing. I think that confusing is the word,

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 14>because on the one hand, the prison was being well

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 14>with the telegraphs specifically was being blamed for making these

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 14>facts known when people ought to be scared. You've got

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 14>the treasure who picks up the vibe that's going around

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 14>obviously around the federal cabinet, which says, well, we don't

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 14>really believe that these speedle are really threatened so much,

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 14>which is what those words meant to me. And then

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 14>you've got the police saying, well, we think there are

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 14>a group of people, criminals who are actually doing it.

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 14>So I think there is so much more to know.

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 14>I think there needs to be a coming clean a

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 14>moment because I don't think we're getting the full story

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 14>at the moment.

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Matt Canavan, what do you think I've just revealed tonight

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 3>the two addresses that were in the caravan filled with

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 3>explosives enough reportedly for a forty meter blast wave, the

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Great Synagogue and the Sydney Jewish Museum, that's the Holocaust Museum.

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, how has it got to this point?

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Do you agree that this is due to a lack

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 3>of action and leadership and tough enforcement from the very start.

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 7>Well, look, first of all, it's just shocking to see

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 7>this happen in our country which has always been so

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 7>harmonious and peaceful, or generally so. And it must be

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 7>even worse for those in the Jewish community. So the

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 7>main thoughts are with them, and hopefully they know that.

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 7>I think the vast majority of Austrains, I know the

0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 7>vast majority of his strains are with them and will do

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 7>everything we can to protect them. Look, in terms of

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 7>the reasons for this, look, it can't be shitted home

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 7>to one person, of course, especially if there are foreigners

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 7>behind this, foreign actors behind this. It's very concerning. We

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 7>don't know that for sure, of course, but we must

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 7>be always mindful here that there may be people off

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 7>our shores wishing us ill, not just if from the

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 7>potential risks of a terrorist attack, but also the chilling

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 7>effects on community harmony and cohesion of the threat of one,

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 7>of the threat of one and the uncertainty created by it.

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 7>So we need to be very careful about making sure

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 7>that we do united as Australians and remember what we

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 7>value and what brings us together. And look, certainly the

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 7>Prime Minister's lack of leadership has not helped matters. He

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 7>has not brought the country together through these difficult times.

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 7>So I'm not going to sit here and say the

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 7>Prime ministers directly to blame for these things. Of course

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 7>he's not doing these things, but not showing the kind

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 7>of leadership he should as a prime minister has not

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 7>helped matters and it certainly doesn't help us combat these

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 7>potentially these allegedly potentially foreign actors willing to divide Australians.

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't think they are foreign actors because New

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 3>South Wales Police went on radio today and they said

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 3>there was no evidence that there was foreign actors. That's

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 3>New South Wales Police on record on the radio saying

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 3>they didn't know what the Prime Minister was referring to

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 3>and maybe it was.

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 7>The AFP has put out a statement though, saying that

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 7>they suspect that it may be and as I said,

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 7>there's an uncertainty about it, but it's definitely possible.

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, I've reported that they have no tangible evidence at all.

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 3>They might get the evidence it might turn out to be,

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 3>but at this point in time, and I've got very

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 3>good police sources, there is no tangible evidence for foreign

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 3>actors at all.

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Now let's turn to Washington, d C.

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Where emergency services have pulled multiple bodies from a river

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 3>following a horrific mid air crash between a passenger plane

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 3>and a military helicopter. The American Airlines jet was carrying

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 3>sixty four people went when it went down, and the

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 3>black Hawk had three military soldiers. This is just horrific, Brunwin,

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 3>really really tragic news. The first responders are now starring

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 3>the river looking for survivors.

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 14>Survivors, I think is a hopeful word. It's the most

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 14>appalling crash. I do not understand how it took place

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 14>the Apache, and I know that aircraft quite well. I

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 14>have flown in it. The Apache is an aircraft with

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 14>breath sophistication. We're going to buy some here. I do

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 14>not understand how it could get in the flight path

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 14>of that passion to plane. I think there's a lot

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 14>of questions to be asked, and I think the new

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 14>Secretary of Defense who's just been approved. He's going to

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 14>have his first major task on his hands to get

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:47.200
<v Speaker 14>to the bottom of it.

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 3>What's your reaction to this, Matt Canavan, Well, it's just tragic.

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 7>It's just terribly tragic to see families fighting at an

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 7>airport for their loved ones to land, and to be

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 7>so close and first of course have the uncertainty of

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 7>where are they and ultimately obviously going to receive the

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 7>most crushing news that you can in your life, and

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 7>your just heart goes out to those people. You don't

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 7>see this type of accent occurring too often. It's really hard.

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 7>As Browin says, there does seem to be some other

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 7>questions that will have to be asked here. The President's

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.360
<v Speaker 7>already put our statement out questioning what happened and how

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 7>it was to happen. It'll have to be get gotten to.

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 4>The bottom of all, right, Matt Canvan.

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 3>You've put on the table this week whether the government

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 3>should withdraw from net zero targets, and specifically, Matt, you

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 3>were one of a group of coalition MPs arguing in

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 3>a letter that the net zero Climate Pact is risking

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 3>our economy.

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 4>What's your argument.

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 7>Here, Well, look a bunch of our banks. A few

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 7>years ago, all the major four major banks have signed

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 7>up to something called the Net Zero Banking Alliance. It's

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 7>the United Nations initiative that seeks to restrict finance to

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 7>various activities the United Nations doesn't like, like cold mining

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 7>one of our biggest exports, gas another massive export, and

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 7>even cattle farming, which we know, apparently or the United

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 7>Nations think is terribly evil, that is also to be

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 7>choked from the finance pipeline. Our banks, our major banks,

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 7>signed up to this, and in the last two months

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 7>almost every major bank in the US, JP, Morgan Wells, Fargo,

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 7>Bank of America, many others, And now in the last

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 7>couple of weeks, most major Canadian banks have left the

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.639
<v Speaker 7>Net Zero Banking Alliance, partly in response obviously to Donald Trump.

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 7>But where left in it? All our banks are still

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.400
<v Speaker 7>in it. Our farmers, our miners are subject to these

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.159
<v Speaker 7>restrictive financial conditions. That's putting us at a competitive disadvantage

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 7>as a country now. And that's why myself and some

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 7>of our colleagues, my colleagues have said, let's get out

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 7>of this thing and free the shackles off the Australian economy.

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 3>The issue is though Brunwan, this would then become a

0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 3>big issue ahead of the election, and you know this

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.680
<v Speaker 3>has been very controversial in the past in the past,

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 3>and probably Peter Dutton doesn't want to do anything that

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 3>would take votes away from him.

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 14>Well, I think that argument holds good when you're talking

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 14>about pulling out of Paris. But this alliance is in

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 14>a way it's an attack on capitalism itself because it's

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 14>not about a lending institution making a decision as to

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 14>whether this is a valid investment to make because it's

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 14>safe and it's going to give a good return for

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 14>the shareholders. This is about saying we don't like the

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 14>business you're in and therefore we're not going to lend you.

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 14>And of course the banks in this country are a

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 14>protected species. You remember in the Great Financial Crisis they

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 14>were guaranteed so that they were again and that guaranteed

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 14>I think still exists, maybe not to the same extent,

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 14>but I think it's still there. So the banks, the

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 14>banks can't the banks can't run roughshod. So I think

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 14>it's a good questions and I think perhaps the pressure

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 14>from international banks may have an effect on whether or

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 14>not they continue to remain members or with the whole

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 14>alliance just falls apart. But Peter Dutton's quite right. He

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 14>wants to focus on the things that are tearing up

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 14>our nation. That's cost of living. It's about no energy

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 14>and no proper energy supply that it's going through the

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 14>roof and costs, and he's not going to be distracted

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 14>from that.

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Matt Canavan, Brahmin Bishop, thank you so much for your time.

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.

0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's return to the major news of the

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:43.479
<v Speaker 3>terror threat. This caravan filled with enough explosives to create

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 3>a forty meter blast wave. I have confirmed today that

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 3>it's something the Jewish community and security organizations were not

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 3>told about. I spoke earlier with David Ossip from the

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Jewish Board of Deputies. He's now calling for twenty four

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 3>hour security presence at Jewish schools, and he confirms no

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 3>Jewish organization that he's aware of knew about this prior

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 3>to the Daily Telegraph. Here he is, David Asi, thank

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 3>you so much for joining us on what's been such

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 3>a difficult week yet again for the Jewish community. What

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.400
<v Speaker 3>do you think needs to be happened now to keep

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:21.680
<v Speaker 3>the community safe.

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 5>SERI thank you so much for having me on the show,

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 5>and you're right. This has been another extraordinarily challenging week

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 5>for the community and just when you think you've seen

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:36.680
<v Speaker 5>it all, we are surprised. On the downside, this incident

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 5>in Durrell is understandably giving deep concern to the community.

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.159
<v Speaker 5>If successful, this would have been the largest terrorist attack

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 5>in Australia's history. The explosives in the caravan were enough

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 5>to set off a blast which would have had a

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 5>radius of forty five meters. So we are talking about

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 5>a crisis which is escalated to very very serious purports

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 5>and the community is understandably concerned at the moment. And

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 5>we have ridden to the New Subwales Police Commissioner this

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 5>afternoon and we've requested twenty four our police resources outside

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.399
<v Speaker 5>all Jewish schools and preschools.

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean that seems like something that's so important right

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 3>now when you think of the threat, when you think

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 3>of the fact a caravan was found with enough explosives

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 3>that would have created and this is according to police,

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 3>a forty meter blast wave. Have you had a response

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 3>from the Police commissioner yet to your request for twenty

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 3>four hour security outside Jewish schools and preschools.

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 5>We are still awaiting a response from the Police Commissioner,

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 5>but you're entirely right. These are very serious circumstances in

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 5>which we find ourselves in. It is grotesque and sickening

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 5>that school children have had to rock up for their

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.399
<v Speaker 5>first day of school and walk past egregious messages of

0:23:56.480 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 5>anti Semitic hate. It is appalling that parents I've had

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 5>to explain to their children what they're seeing, and that

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 5>parents have had to explain to their kids what the

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 5>Jewish community has been experiencing, not just for the past

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:11.439
<v Speaker 5>fifteen months, but for the past few weeks, where the

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 5>situation has escalated to crisis like proportions.

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's one of the most the most abhorrent things

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.640
<v Speaker 3>that we've seen. A preschool fire bombed, and graffiti outside schools.

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:24.119
<v Speaker 4>You know, how can anyone.

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 3>Be so sick as to target children or the places

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 3>where children go.

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:30.880
<v Speaker 4>It's just absolutely despicable.

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 3>David Ossip, I want to ask you about when you

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 3>were told of this latest threat, the caravan with explosives.

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Were you told about this prior to the Daily Telegraph

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 3>publishing their story.

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 5>No, the first we had specific information about this incident

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:54.160
<v Speaker 5>was when the Daily Telegraph article was published. The Premier

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:58.600
<v Speaker 5>and Deputy Commissioner Hudson then held a press conference. Immediately

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 5>after that press conference, the was on the phone to me,

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 5>Tipicy Commissioner Hudson was on the phone to me and

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 5>they provided a full briefing. But the first time that

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 5>we had any information about this caravan was when the

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 5>Daily Telegraph published their article on Wednesdae.

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:17.479
<v Speaker 3>And that's the same for any Jewish community or security groups.

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 3>That's my understanding that no Jewish community or security groups

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 3>were informed prior to the Daily Telegraph publishing.

0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 4>Is that correct?

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 5>That's my Understanding's the best of my knowledge. That's correct.

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Were you disappointed in this because especially security groups might

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 3>have taken different action had they known about this threat.

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 5>Look, we are fortunate as a New South Wales Jewish

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 5>community to maintain a very strong working relationship with the

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 5>New South Wales government and also with a range of

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 5>law enforcement agencies. And by virtue of having those relationships,

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:56.199
<v Speaker 5>there's a continuous flow of information between our community and

0:25:56.359 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 5>between law enforcement and generally whether I and sort of

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 5>concern they are raised with us, the message that we've

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 5>received from law enforcement is that there were special circumstances,

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:12.360
<v Speaker 5>operational reasons why they were reluctant to share any information

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 5>about this. And I think these questions are best directed

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:19.159
<v Speaker 5>to police about what those operational reasons were. But we

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 5>take them at face value.

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we do have to give them the benefit of

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 3>the doubt, no matter how disappointing it is. As far

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 3>as you're aware, have the potential targets of this attack

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 3>been notified at all?

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 5>The potential targets have now been.

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Notified, okay, and they would presumably be stepping up security

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:41.000
<v Speaker 3>arrangements in light of this.

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 5>Look, there is elevated security at all communal institutions at

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 5>the moment.

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, as they should be now. The Premiere has shown

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 3>very strong leadership. We see it every day. His words

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.679
<v Speaker 3>are so strong. He gets it, he cares. But the

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister first thing this morning he went on Kyle

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and Jackie Oh's show. He was laughing about his Christmas holiday, David,

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 3>do you think he's taking this seriously enough?

0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 5>Well. As soon as this matter was publicized yesterday afternoon,

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 5>the Premier was immediately on the front foot and held

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.919
<v Speaker 5>the press conference with Deputy Commissioner Hudson. The Prime Minister

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 5>was nowhere to be seen. The first contact we had

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 5>with the Prime Minister was when someone from his office

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 5>sent us a text message with his statement. We still

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 5>haven't heard from the Prime Minister. We haven't heard from

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 5>the Home Affairs Minister. The number one priority for government

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 5>is the protection of its citizenry. And frankly, the Prime

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 5>Minister and his government, they've overseen a crisis of antisemitism

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 5>and now a crisis of domestic terrorism. And frankly, the

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Prime Minister needs to stand up and recognize how serious

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 5>the situation is, what he's allowed to evolve under his watch,

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 5>and he needs to start taking this matter very seriously

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 5>and give it the ten that it deserves.

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:04.919
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, you couldn't be more right. It didn't start with

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 3>this wave of domestic terror, as you so accurately put

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 3>it. It started on the Upper House steps. It started with

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 3>the hate preachers. No action was taken, and now here

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 3>we are. David Ossa, thank you so much for your

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 3>leadership of the Jewish community and for doing your very

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 3>best to keep everyone safe at this time.

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 5>Always good to be with you, Cherry, Thank you so much.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:27.880
<v Speaker 8>Well.

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 3>While the Prime Minister started his day joking around on

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Kyl and Jackie Oh. Peter Dutton used the strongest language possible.

0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 3>He said that had this caravan of explosives, had that

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 3>attack gone ahead, Dutton said, this would have been the

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 3>biggest terror attack in Australia that we'd ever seen.

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 11>Had this terrorist attack taken place, if the reports are

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 11>correct around the forty meters blast zone, this would have

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 11>been the most significant terrorist attack and loss of life

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 11>in our country's history.

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Premier Chris Mins also showed very strong leadership and he

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 3>said this could have been a mass casualty event.

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Police have to take it seriously as if it was

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 2>an attempt at a mass casualty event, an event of

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 2>domestic terrorism in New South Wales.

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 3>We all sat here last night in shock at the

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 3>fact that many explosives had been found, and then today

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 3>we woke up to the news more graffiti, this time

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 3>outside a Jewish school and Marubra Synagogue. This was the

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 3>first day back at school for preschoolers and it's horrifying

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 3>to find that graffiti on the wall right beside the

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 3>school entrance gate. It's an understatement to say the Jewish

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 3>community is living with fear anxiety and distress at the moment.

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what is wrong with these people that they.

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Firebombed a pre school and now have he faced a

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:05.719
<v Speaker 3>school the wall next to a school with anti Semitic graffiti.

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Why are they targeting children and places that children go.

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 3>The Premier spoke about this today and he said parents

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't have to face this.

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>It is utterly appalling and shameful that an individual would

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 2>spray racist, hate filled messages on a school. That tells

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you everything you need to know about how appalling these

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 2>bastards are that they would rip apart a school on

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the first days of school with a racist,

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>anti Semitic attack.

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 3>This all feels extremely intense. That antisemitism feels like it's

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 3>now beyond the control of authorities, the police. The pole

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Air was on patrol all through the night last night.

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 3>If you're in Sydney and if you're a light sleeper,

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 3>you might have heard it doing surveillance over the suburbs

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 3>at all hours of the night. Yet some of these

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 3>attacks are still occurring. The authorities are on high alert

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 3>and it's probably about time the terror threat level should

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 3>once again be raised now we desperately need I've been

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 3>saying this fifteen months. We desperately need strong leadership. We

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:23.360
<v Speaker 3>need to know the government cares about all Australians, including

0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 3>the Jewish community, not just the voters they need in

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 3>marginal seats in Western Sydney. Now I'm going to come

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 3>back to this topic with Rabbi leave Wolf a bit

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 3>later in the show, but still to come. The CIA

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:40.719
<v Speaker 3>accused of breaking the law by sitting on their COVID

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 3>origins assessment, and the dangers of Elon Musk's friendship with

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump. Michael Schellenberger would join me after the break.

0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Welcome back.

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:56.479
<v Speaker 3>We're breaking news now, nineteen year old hostage again Berger

0:31:56.960 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 3>has been handed over from Hamas to the Red Cross.

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:03.640
<v Speaker 3>She's back on Israeli soil and she has been reunited

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 3>with her parents. We are now waiting for the release

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 3>of twenty nine year old r Bel Yohood, an eighty

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 3>year old guardy Moses there slated for release today as well.

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Now Agem's release is after four hundred.

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 3>And eighty two days in terrorist captivity, and this is

0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 3>of course wonderful news for the families of these hostages. Okay,

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Rabbi Levi Wolf is coming up on the wave of

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 3>anti Semitic terror shortly, but first, Elon Musk's bromance with

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump is causing concern inside the MAGA movement. I

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 3>spoke about this, along with the CIA's assessment that COVID

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 3>was the result of a likely lablique with Michael Schellenberger.

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 3>He's a world famous journalist and author and one of

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 3>the best newsbreakers internationally.

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Here's our chat.

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Michael's so good to see you again on the COVID

0:32:57.480 --> 0:32:58.360
<v Speaker 3>origins issue.

0:32:58.440 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 4>You've done brilliant reporting.

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 3>You famously revealed the names of the three scientists who

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.760
<v Speaker 3>first fell ill at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 3>what is believed to be the first cluster of the pandemic. Now,

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 3>the CIA was obligated under law, a law passed during

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 3>the Biden administration, to declassify their intelligence. They failed to

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 3>do so, they broke the law. What's your view on

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 3>this matter?

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, first of all'll Sherry, congratulations to you because you

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 1>were ahead of most other, almost every other reporter in

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the world on this and you haven't gotten credited sufficiently.

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>So first of all, hats off to you. You did

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 1>an amazing job and you have been proven correct in

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 1>all of your original reporting. So brava to you. We're

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>late comers to this. I've only been working out for

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years, but we're really staying on your

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 1>shoulders on this issue. But yeah, you know, look, I

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>mean it is now the CIA, FBI, Department of Energy

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 1>are all in consensus.

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 5>It's a lablique.

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they say low confidence, but that's just simply because

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>so much of the evidence was destroyed. I think most

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>of us are now ninety ninety five percent of the

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 1>view that it's a lab league. But you're absolutely right.

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>The CIA, with its new director appointed by Trump, has

0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 1>tacitly admitted that the CIA under Biden broke the law

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 1>because they were, as you said, required to release all

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.919
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence by June of twenty twenty three. They did

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>not do that. They were out of compliance back then,

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and then they've been sitting on this report. We don't

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:30.319
<v Speaker 1>know for how long, but they said explicitly that they

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.879
<v Speaker 1>had been sitting on this new analysis of the intelligence

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>for many months. So they're in violation of the law.

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 1>And you kind of go, well, who's going to be

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:41.640
<v Speaker 1>punished for it? Of course nobody, But I do think

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 1>it has been really important First of all, we do

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>need to restore trust in our intelligence and security agencies.

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>It's worth just reminding all of us that those agencies

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 1>depend on the public's belief in them and belief that

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 1>they're not corrupt, because their investigations require people to come

0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>forward as witnesses with information and whistleblow. So we do

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 1>need to restore trust. It is absolutely missing for all

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 1>of our intelligence and security agency. So this is the

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:10.280
<v Speaker 1>first step. There are so many other scandals, Russia Gate, hoaks,

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden laptop, the JFK files, the UFO files, the

0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein.

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's just so much I think there is.

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:19.799
<v Speaker 1>This should really try and I think it is transcending

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>left and right. It's transcending partisanship. It used to be

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a left wing issue disclosure. Now the conservatives tend to

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:28.200
<v Speaker 1>be more in favor of it. But I do think

0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:31.239
<v Speaker 1>this is a wonderful sign by Trump and as new

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 1>CIA director. They have made a good first step in

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the disclosure that's needed to repair public trust.

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 5>But there's still a.

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Lot of information that we're waiting for, and our expectations

0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:41.800
<v Speaker 1>are very high.

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 3>We've seen this very close friendship between the President and

0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Elon Musk. There's a bit of a backlash within parts

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 3>of the MAGA movement to Elon Musk.

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 4>How do you see this playing out?

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, look, it's also fascinating story, right. I mean, I

0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 1>think that in many ways, the power center in the

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.560
<v Speaker 1>United States just six months ago was our mainstream news media.

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:07.399
<v Speaker 1>They forced then President Biden to decide not to run again.

0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was the media basically told Pelosi and Obama,

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.840
<v Speaker 1>go get Obama, go get Biden to step down. I

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 1>think the power center has shifted. It's now if you

0:36:15.680 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 1>were to identify the two most powerful men in the

0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 1>United States, it's clearly Donald Trump and Elon Musk arguably

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the two most powerful men in the world right now.

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, and obviously Elon has maybe not obviously

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 1>people should know he's hired a lot of what are

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 1>called H one B visa immigrants in the United States.

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Traditionally these are Indian software coders computer coders that come

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:39.319
<v Speaker 1>to the United States. There's always a question of whether

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Elon would allow a full debate on X and you know,

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>there's always like accusation senship. To his credit, there was

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 1>a robust debate, including people really roasting Elon. You know

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>people I should say maga Trump supporters roasting Elon or

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.640
<v Speaker 1>his position on H one B. That debate existed, and

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:04.400
<v Speaker 1>essentially Elon and David Sachs, who's another close supporter of Trump,

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:09.880
<v Speaker 1>particularly an advisor on cryptocurrency, they basically, I don't want

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to say caved in, but they moved themselves closer to

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the to the people that wanted restrictions. So I think

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it's very healthy that you have the owner of this

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:24.240
<v Speaker 1>major media platform. You saw him be moved by people,

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:26.759
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the spirit of the country right now,

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the moral center is really that we've got to get

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:32.240
<v Speaker 1>back control of our borders. We've got to get migrants

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that are committing crimes and awful crimes.

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:36.280
<v Speaker 5>We've got to get them out of the country.

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:37.480
<v Speaker 1>People said, oh, we can't do that.

0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:38.480
<v Speaker 5>There's some reason for it.

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump is showing that you can do it and that

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 1>the skies don't fall, and I think that, yeah. I mean, look,

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.879
<v Speaker 1>everybody's gonna be watching the Trump Musk relationship. My view

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>is that it will hold steady because they just have

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.480
<v Speaker 1>so much more to gain working from each other than

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 1>they do to be at loggerheads and You'll just have

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to see a set of compromises over the next several years.

0:37:56.520 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>You're also seeing a playout right now in AI where

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Elon doesn't Yeah, Elon doesn't like this character, Sam Altman,

0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:08.400
<v Speaker 1>who is one of the great AI pioneers in the

0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:10.839
<v Speaker 1>United States. They have a personal beef. It's probably also

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 1>business related. But Trump went ahead and moved ahead with

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a deal with Sam Altman and promoted it. Elon complained

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 1>about it. So look, I think it's it's all to

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the benefit, it's all to the health of our country

0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to have that free speech taking place on what remains

0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the most important media platform in the world, which is X.

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 13>Yeah.

0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I thought you were referring to China's version of Chat GPT,

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:35.200
<v Speaker 3>which has caused massive waves in the tech in business

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:35.720
<v Speaker 3>world today.

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:37.279
<v Speaker 4>But yes, Michael.

0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Shellenberg, I don't know what that is. We don't know

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 1>what that is. I should say, I don't think we

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:42.839
<v Speaker 1>know what that is. I don't believe the hype on it.

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean they said we made it with a couple

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 1>bucks in a garage, or some people.

0:38:46.280 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 5>Say, we just don't know.

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:49.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe it is a spot Nick moment and

0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:51.200
<v Speaker 1>it's going to require the United states to catch up.

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 1>This is a fast moving situation. It is a dangerous technology.

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a technology with huge amounts of promise. I look

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to as a nuclear your person, as a historian of nuclear,

0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I sort of think nuclear is a good model. You

0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:07.040
<v Speaker 1>have the private sector involved, you have the government heavily

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.840
<v Speaker 1>involved because it is a dangerous technology, and when that

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>we work with our allies.

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 3>On Michael, thank you so much, as always for your time.

0:39:15.520 --> 0:39:16.919
<v Speaker 1>It was great to be with you. Thanks for having

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:17.279
<v Speaker 1>me on.

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 3>All Right, after the break, we'll return to the breaking

0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 3>news tonight and the wave of domestic terror. I'll speak

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:27.400
<v Speaker 3>with one rabbi from a major synagogue about how to

0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 3>cope with these attacks.

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 4>He'll be on Live next. Welcome back.

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, we've seen attacks on the Adas Synagogue in Melbourne,

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:42.040
<v Speaker 3>the Marubra Synagogue was graffitied along with the Newtown and

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:46.479
<v Speaker 3>Sydney South Sydney synagogues recently, and now the shocking news

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 3>that a caravan packed with explosives had the address of

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 3>the Great Synagogue inside it. Well, you'd be feeling very

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.319
<v Speaker 3>vulnerable right now if you worked in a synagogue like

0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:01.160
<v Speaker 3>my next guest does. Joining me now is Chief Rabbi

0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 3>the Central Synagogue, Rabbi Lavy Wolf, Rabbi.

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.040
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much for joining us now.

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:09.839
<v Speaker 3>As I've just outlined, you know, this is a very

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 3>difficult time. How are you personally coping at the moment

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 3>with the synagogues clearly being targeted.

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 6>I'll answer that question by posing a question to your

0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 6>viewers and ask them how would they feel if they'd

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 6>be hunted down. Let me put a bit of context

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.680
<v Speaker 6>into what I'm saying. I am a grandchild of a

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:40.480
<v Speaker 6>single holocaus survivor, as is my wife Hani, a grandchild

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 6>of Holocaust survivors. Australia, as you know, per capita outside

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 6>of Israel, has more Holocaust survivors than any country in

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:52.360
<v Speaker 6>the world. My synagogue, the Central Synagogue, has the largest

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 6>congregation of Halocaust survivors in this country. And just two

0:40:56.719 --> 0:41:00.799
<v Speaker 6>days ago we marked the eightieth and of her of

0:41:00.840 --> 0:41:05.160
<v Speaker 6>the Liberation of Auschwitz and Bergunal and we as a

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 6>community me we are feeling very vulnerable. We are feeling

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 6>very targeted, and quite frankly, we are feeling hunted down.

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 6>And I found it actually quite telling. I don't blame

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:20.240
<v Speaker 6>him for using this language, but yesterday, when the Deputy

0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:23.239
<v Speaker 6>Commissioner spoke about what had happened with the caravan. He

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 6>used the language and he says, this was not the

0:41:25.120 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 6>normal antisemitism. I mean there is now the normal antisemitism,

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 6>and then there's the abnormals antisemitism. So I mean, is

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 6>this all normal? There's you know, we have to come

0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:36.760
<v Speaker 6>to expect the normal antisemitism.

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Look, it's such a good point, and you know this

0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:42.919
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be normalized. And how has it come to be normalized?

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:45.919
<v Speaker 3>You know, you always speak in synagogue and you give

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 3>such comfort to everybody in the community.

0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:50.280
<v Speaker 4>Jewish or not Jewish.

0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:52.719
<v Speaker 3>So to hear you say, look, we are being hunted down,

0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 3>this is very confronting.

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 4>Rabbi.

0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:58.240
<v Speaker 3>You know many Jews would now be feeling anxious, deciding

0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:01.040
<v Speaker 3>whether or not to go to synagogue as per usual

0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 3>on Friday night or Saturday.

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:04.319
<v Speaker 4>What's your message to.

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:10.120
<v Speaker 3>People who are now genuinely and understandably terrified, Sherry, I.

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:12.640
<v Speaker 6>Want to tell you, as a Jew, I think that

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.319
<v Speaker 6>there's one word I would never be using, and that

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 6>is the word fearful. I don't think the Jewish community

0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:24.600
<v Speaker 6>should be fearful. I think that we have a tremendous

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 6>miracle where God has been protecting us and looking after us.

0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 6>And I say that very seriously. I mean, there is

0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 6>no other way to try and explain how we are

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:43.760
<v Speaker 6>after thirty three centuries being persecuted, pogroms, expulsions, holocausts, inquisitions,

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:48.400
<v Speaker 6>and we're still here. We are still here after so

0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:54.320
<v Speaker 6>much darkness, so much hate, so much suffering, and somehow

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 6>we are still here. I think it was the Prime

0:42:57.080 --> 0:42:59.280
<v Speaker 6>Minister of Israel, the first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 6>one said that to be a Jew is to appreciate

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 6>that believing in miracles is a realist. There's no other

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:11.040
<v Speaker 6>way to explain how we're here today. So fear is

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 6>definitely not something that we have to be concerned about.

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:16.160
<v Speaker 6>But I would have one message to those who are

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:19.200
<v Speaker 6>attempting to put fear into us, to those who are

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:23.320
<v Speaker 6>spreading hate, to those who are so vile with everything

0:43:23.320 --> 0:43:26.360
<v Speaker 6>that they're doing, I would say that they are the

0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:31.000
<v Speaker 6>ones who are responsible for actually excuse upon rejuvenating the

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 6>Jewish community more than anybody has been able to do.

0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:39.040
<v Speaker 6>They have brought us together. They have created people who

0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:42.439
<v Speaker 6>are all of a sudden back to their traditions, back

0:43:42.480 --> 0:43:48.240
<v Speaker 6>to their roots standing taller, being prouder, and they've also

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 6>managed to have Jews who have always been traditionally on

0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:53.640
<v Speaker 6>the left leave the left.

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:55.880
<v Speaker 3>And now they're watching sky and they're watching you and

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 3>me right now. Indeed, that's one good thing to come

0:43:58.719 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 3>out of it.

0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 4>A side.

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 3>The Premier, Chris men said today, and he says it

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 3>all the time that most Australians, the vast majority of Australians,

0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 3>absolutely hate what's going on.

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Here's what he had to say.

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:16.720
<v Speaker 2>There are some terrible people in our community. I'm ashamed

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:19.840
<v Speaker 2>to say it, but that's the truth. Bad morals, bad ethics,

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:23.880
<v Speaker 2>bad people that will commit these acts. But Australians stand

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:29.319
<v Speaker 2>united against this appalling racism. Most Australians from every background

0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:33.279
<v Speaker 2>regard this kind of hate field activity as the opposite

0:44:33.440 --> 0:44:35.880
<v Speaker 2>of what it means to live in our country.

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and Rabbi, that's the feedback that I have as well.

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:43.480
<v Speaker 3>What's your message to the wider Australian community.

0:44:43.640 --> 0:44:45.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, firstly, I want to actually do a shout out

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 6>to Chrismans. I think he has been a strong leader

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 6>with Greek conviction. He's hitting it out of the park.

0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:55.439
<v Speaker 6>He's getting up there at every single press conference and

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 6>really giving it his best and hopefully he gets a

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 6>lot of scores on the board arresting these people and

0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 6>finally putting them behind bars. What I would say to

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:09.160
<v Speaker 6>the Australian community is exactly what he said. I believe

0:45:09.280 --> 0:45:13.239
<v Speaker 6>that the average Australian is sick and tired. They've had

0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 6>enough during the summer holidays, while they've been trying to

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:19.839
<v Speaker 6>relax with their families, have been bombarded by photos, by

0:45:19.840 --> 0:45:27.200
<v Speaker 6>images of Nazi graffiti, of preschools being firebombed, and they've

0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:30.640
<v Speaker 6>had enough. But you know that can't just be enough.

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:36.160
<v Speaker 6>I would say to the silent majority, it's time to

0:45:36.280 --> 0:45:40.880
<v Speaker 6>no longer be silent. We now need to turn the

0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:45.240
<v Speaker 6>tide and anti Semitism. And it's one thing for leaders

0:45:45.239 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 6>in government, and it's one thing for people in authorities

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:52.759
<v Speaker 6>like police forces, et cetera. Right now, what we need

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.840
<v Speaker 6>more than anything is for the average Aussie, for the

0:45:56.080 --> 0:45:59.799
<v Speaker 6>average Australian citizen to call it out. It is on

0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:04.319
<v Speaker 6>cool to be anti Semitic, and it's on Australian And

0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:07.399
<v Speaker 6>unless the average Australian is going to stand out, if

0:46:07.400 --> 0:46:09.440
<v Speaker 6>it's at a at a at a tea party, or

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 6>if it's at an evening at home or sitting with

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:14.239
<v Speaker 6>friends and having coffee and just you know, remember there

0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 6>was an advert once for those who were littering in

0:46:16.600 --> 0:46:18.440
<v Speaker 6>the streets and they had this like girl looking at

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:19.160
<v Speaker 6>her boyfriend and.

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 4>Say, big government advertising campaign. That's true.

0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:24.720
<v Speaker 6>It's cool to be to be on Australian it's uncool

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 6>to be anti Semitic. And the average and the quiet

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:33.400
<v Speaker 6>and the silent majority needs to now no longer be silent.

0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:34.480
<v Speaker 6>That's where we're holding.

0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Rabbi.

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:39.400
<v Speaker 3>I really appreciate your time and as always your incredible

0:46:39.760 --> 0:46:44.200
<v Speaker 3>leadership of the community, especially at this incredibly difficult time.

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:46.719
<v Speaker 6>Thank you Sharry, and to you who have been on

0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:51.000
<v Speaker 6>the forefront of really bringing this to the wider society.

0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:53.480
<v Speaker 6>You've been a rock star. And thank you for everything

0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:56.000
<v Speaker 6>that you've done for fighting anti semitism. Thank you so much,

0:46:56.040 --> 0:46:56.560
<v Speaker 6>God bless you.

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Thank you. Now, don't go anywhere.

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 3>The breakthrough treatment that could mean the difference between life

0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and death for women fighting breast cancer.

0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:11.680
<v Speaker 4>That's after this quick break welcome back.

0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:14.520
<v Speaker 3>When a new treatment is offering hope to women fighting

0:47:15.080 --> 0:47:19.000
<v Speaker 3>metastatic triple negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive

0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 3>and deadly forms.

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Of the disease with no known cure.

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Now, in a world first clinical trial in Queensland, the

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:32.160
<v Speaker 3>combination therapy could provide a crucial lifeline to patients. This

0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:33.480
<v Speaker 3>is a really important story.

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Have a look.

0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:38.480
<v Speaker 15>When Terry Parks was diagnosed with an aggressive form of

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:43.600
<v Speaker 15>breast cancer. She feared the worst, but after chemotherapy, double misectomy,

0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:47.520
<v Speaker 15>radiation and ten years of medication, she's still here.

0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 16>I heard the words advanced aggressive stage three in your

0:47:51.160 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 16>lymph traveling around your body, and yet here I am

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:59.120
<v Speaker 16>fifteen years later, when I know that the survival rate

0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 16>was quite low for my IBC and I've broken the mold.

0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:10.240
<v Speaker 15>Beating the odds is exactly what researchers from QIMR berghoffer

0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:14.400
<v Speaker 15>hope their treatment will do for metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

0:48:14.960 --> 0:48:19.840
<v Speaker 15>In collaboration with drug development company Carsio Therapeutics, scientists have

0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:24.160
<v Speaker 15>combined a drug called paccillasib, initially designed to treat brain cancer,

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:26.240
<v Speaker 15>with immunotherapy.

0:48:25.760 --> 0:48:29.359
<v Speaker 17>Metastatic triple negative breast cancer. There is no cure, and

0:48:29.440 --> 0:48:33.080
<v Speaker 17>at the moment immunotherapy only works on a subset of patients.

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:35.800
<v Speaker 17>What this is able to do is open up the

0:48:35.880 --> 0:48:39.720
<v Speaker 17>ability of many more patients to have access to immunotherapy.

0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 9>What was unique about it was the potential hypothesis that

0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:49.920
<v Speaker 9>this dual inhibition could dramatically improve the efficacy of other assets,

0:48:50.040 --> 0:48:55.200
<v Speaker 9>in particular immunotherapies, but also apart inhibitors. Potential even outside

0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:57.080
<v Speaker 9>of breast cancer is enormous.

0:48:57.320 --> 0:49:01.360
<v Speaker 15>It works by reprogramming dormant cancer cells, making them visible

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:04.640
<v Speaker 15>to the immune system, while strengthening immune cells to attack

0:49:04.680 --> 0:49:05.200
<v Speaker 15>the disease.

0:49:05.920 --> 0:49:07.799
<v Speaker 17>What we've been able to show for the first time

0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:11.360
<v Speaker 17>is that using this drug pack celisip, we're able to

0:49:11.480 --> 0:49:15.600
<v Speaker 17>awaken these cancer cells to make them immune visible, and

0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:18.000
<v Speaker 17>by begging them immune visible, we're able to for the

0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 17>first time allow immunotherapy to function.

0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:24.160
<v Speaker 15>This form of cancer predominantly affects women aged under forty

0:49:24.480 --> 0:49:26.880
<v Speaker 15>and spreads rapidly to other parts of the body.

0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:30.880
<v Speaker 17>Unfortunately, many of these patients only have a few months

0:49:30.920 --> 0:49:32.160
<v Speaker 17>to live at the most.

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.359
<v Speaker 15>The treatment has advanced a clinical trial recruiting twenty four

0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 15>women with metastatic triple negative breast cancer. They'll receive the

0:49:40.520 --> 0:49:43.040
<v Speaker 15>combination therapy at sites in Queensland.

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:47.360
<v Speaker 17>What we are all about is trying to identify diagnostics

0:49:47.560 --> 0:49:52.000
<v Speaker 17>and therapeutics to be able to increase the survival of

0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 17>these patients so they can spend more time with their families.

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:58.800
<v Speaker 15>A crucial step forward in the fight against one of

0:49:58.840 --> 0:50:02.920
<v Speaker 15>the deadliest cancers. Lauren Forbes, Sky News.

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:07.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, have a safe weekend, stay strong. I'll see

0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:11.080
<v Speaker 3>you Monday at eight. And here's Paul Murray.
