1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: This prison escape story, I reckon sounds fishy as hell

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: in the week of cover ups and ass covering. If

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: it walks and talks and quacks like something, then it

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: probably is. Remember if it walks like a duck and

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: it quacks like a duck, it's not looking good, is it. No?

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't think this one's looking good. On Friday, last week,

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: nine am, and inmate escapes mounted in prison. The public

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: isn't told, no media release, no warning, radio silence. Tuesday,

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: a media report finally pops up, and it looks like

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: a journalist has actually got wind of the story. Corrections

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: then confirm a prisoner has escaped, but they don't tell

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: us who, how anything. Was the guy a murderer? Is

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: he arisk to the public? Why can't we know who

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: he is? I think they're legitimate questions. Four days on

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: the run and by that stage still haven't found him,

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: and there's some bs about safety being their top priority,

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but nothing about hey, look out, there's

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: someone on the loose. Then yesterday a release goes out.

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: They finally name this guy and put out a photo.

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: Six days after he escapes, they haven't been able to

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: catch him. And they still don't say if he's a

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: risk to the public. His name is Paul Karl piquet Riehu.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: Quick Google search last night find out pretty quickly why

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: they didn't want us to know. Why they didn't release

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: it for six days. This guy has escaped prison before

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: in twenty ten, but embarrassing for them, isn't it? And

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I've been asking Corrections for an interview since this story

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: broke and computer says no, why because there's an internal

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 1: review going on. So what you don't get to hide

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: and cover up your mistakes and wait till the dust settlers.

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Your front up and you own them. When this guy

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: escaped last time, Corrections immediately put out a release. They

33
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: warned the public not to approach him. They said he

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: was dangerous, and they said he had an extensive criminal history.

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: This time round, no warnings whatsoever. Is he friendly now,

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: you know? Or are they again but covering God's sakes?

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Take a leaf out of police's book and front up.

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: The longer you leave this the dodgier you look. For

39
