1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: A girl from India has become the world's youngest taekwondo instructor. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: She's wait for it, seven years old. She's come from 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: a rich taekwondo lineage. Her mum can perform two hundred 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: and eleven elbow strikes in one minute and her dad 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: can break seven marble slabs with one cac Yeah, that's 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: one family not to mess with anyway. Murray old's good afternoon. 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: Imagine being the young cloak come around to take her out. Hey, hello, 8 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: mum and dad. 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: Well she had a second look after herself, of course. 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: Um blimey. Federal government they're promising to cut the cost 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: of pharmaceuticals. 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: Now, well that's right, and indeed the opposition has jumped 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: straight in and backed this promise as well. It's in 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 2: the context of this phony election campaign, which is focus 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: of course on cost of living. Labor committed to driving 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: down the price of health and cheap of medicines with 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: capped prices on prescriptions is the way that labour wants 18 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: to go. It's already got We've already got over here 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 2: something called the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme and what that means 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: is nine hundred and thirty very commonly prescribed medications, everything 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: from cancer to antibiotics and pain relief. These things are 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: all offered to Australians at subsidized prices. Indigenous people, those 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: on pensions and the like pay no more than seven 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: dollars seventy every time they get a script filled. Right now, 25 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: most people pay just over thirty one dollars. Labours promising 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: to cut that to twenty five dollars. As I say, 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: the oppositions jumped in and said, yeah, we love this, 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: we're going to do it too. The only fly in 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: the ointment pardon the pun, could be Donald Trump and 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: the whiners and winges in the American pharmaceuticals industry. The 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: government over here on both sides enthusiastic backers of the 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: pharmaceutical benefit scheme. The Australian government buys these medications direct 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: from the manufacturers and then sells them to us at 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: subsidized prices. Well, the Yanks are going, you know, feral, 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: and the threat all sorts of tariffs and the whining 36 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: about you know, anyway, both sides of politicus here is 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: going yeah, yeah, and basically bugger off. We will do 38 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: what we want to do in Australia. And you can 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: take your whining elsewhere. So just remains to be seen. 40 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: I mean Trump has not ruled out further tariffs, unspecified 41 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: tariffs against as yet unknown Australian exports. You just have 42 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: to wait and see which way, which way this goes. 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: And this is a complicated is sure, wasn't it. Dutton 44 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: says he's going to cut unraw of funding if he 45 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: wins the election. 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: That's right, There'll be no funding for the United Nations 47 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: agency currently looking after refugees and gaza. He says, no, no, 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: it's a dreadful organization unwrapped. We're not going to fund that. 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: By the way, I'm going to go straight on the 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: phone to Benjamin Netanya who as wellf I'm the Prime 51 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: minister after the upcoming election, to reaffirm US Radian support 52 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: for Israel. And he'll also be on the first plane 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: if Donald Trump says yes, you can come on over 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: and have your head padded. He will be on the 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: first plane available to washing him to meet President Trump 56 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: if he's sworn in as Australia's next prime minister. 57 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: How does that play out with voters? Do you reckon? 58 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: Because because there was the question about where the hostages 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: were held in unraal premises and it was pretty blurry, 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: wasn't it. 61 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm much one hundred percent sure actually how 62 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: this would play out. I mean, I think the battle 63 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: lines are pretty well drawn over here, certainly the opposition 64 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: liberals and Nationals liberals and that funny sense of the word, 65 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: they are conservatives. The conservatives over here though very much 66 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: in the Netanyahu Trump camp except when it's inconvenient to 67 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: be in in that particular camp, and they'll be jumping 68 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: all over Labour's policies in that regard. Certainly, I think 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: people know where Dutton stands and this type of thing. 70 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: No big surprise that he says, you'll cut funding to 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: Andra and he'll go and kiss Trump ring. 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Why is a forensic psychiatrist seeing an accused killer cop? 73 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: What's that all about? 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: Well, because this is now being interpreted as a as 75 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: a potential into where the accused police or ex police officer. 76 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: It's a bit of an insight into which way he 77 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: may be pleading. February last year, this former policeman used 78 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: his service revolver is the allegation to murder his former 79 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: gay lover and that man's new partner. The allegation is 80 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: Beau Lamar Condon went to his ex lover's house in 81 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: Sydney and shot dead both men. Now, the case was 82 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: briefly mentioned this morning here in the Sydney Court and 83 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: Lamar Condon was not present, but his lawyer told the 84 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: court that a report by a forensic psychiatrist into his 85 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: client's mental state would be available in early April. Now, 86 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: as I say, this happened in February last year. The 87 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: case is progressing as slowly as these things do. But 88 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 2: it's being interpreted now by people in the know and Sydney, 89 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: in the legal circles in Sydney. This may be the 90 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: way the Mark Condon's going to go. Who's going to 91 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: plead insanity and see how that goes. So we're just 92 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure right now. It's back in 93 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 2: court in April. 94 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: Gosh, we ever all we'll have a morbid fascination with 95 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: these with these tales, don't we. 96 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 97 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: Good stuff, Thanks Mary.
