00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Across the Tasman Robert Irwin has apologized for doing a

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: dine and dash at a restaurant in New South Wales,

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: seas he got to pay because he was so popular

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: and mobbed by his fans who all wanted selfies.

Speaker 1: I have a good night.

8
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 2: I see you later. And then the next morning I

9
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: wake up and realize I never paid for my salad.

10
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Oh no, So what does he do? He goes back, apologizes,

Speaker 1: advertising on his Instagram.

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: There are eight million of you guys on here, so

14
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: you know what to do. I have tagged them, go

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: and support the Jetty Pavilion in Coffs Harbor. I am

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: going to be coming back up through Coffs Harbor and

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: I am going to be giving you in person the

18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: money for that salad, because today is not the day

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: I start my life of crime.

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: He's just lovely, isn't he. Twenty three away from five

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Now Charles Crutcher, Channel nine, chief political editor with US Charles,

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 3: We originally a country of criminals for the bread, so

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: maybe we were still continuing that tradition.

25
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: This is true. You cannot shake it. Allegations that, speaking

26
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: of Aaron Pattison tampered with prison food.

27
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has gone from one of the people that

28
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: were in the maximum security prison that Aaron Pattison is in.

29
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: They have accused her of tampering effectively with the food

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: inside prison and making her sick during the wait for

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: her trial, which ended yesterday. It is another wrinkling. I

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: think there will be more to come on this as

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 3: we wait and see some of the details from inside

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: the courtroom eventually get released. It was heavily suppressed this

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: case because of how much Injuri is not just here

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: in oz Or you are across the ditch, but right

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: around the world. So because of that, and because they

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: need to try and find a jury in a small town,

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: which is always difficult in the first place, a lot

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: of the information has been suppressed. We wait to see

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: when those suppression wars will be lifted. It's going to

42
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: be a fascinating few weeks, even though we know the

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: verdict of that with an appeal expected.

44
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Now your RBA has just held rate steady.

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: What's the word there?

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, really surprising results. A lot of the banks had

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: already facted down another quarter of percentage point rate cut.

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: Last time the Reserve Bank met, the governor had said

49
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: they considered the double cut back then, and since then

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: the economic numbers have gotten sort of more conservative or

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: more concerning, depending on where you are. The inflation rates

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: down at two point four percent. There's another inflation rate

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: number coming out not too long away, and that before

54
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: the next time the Reserve Bank meets, that's on the

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 3: twelfth of August, and that seems almost a certainty now

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: to be a rate cut, But we wait and see

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: what the governor has said and what factors are keeping

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: and playing on the mind at a Reserve bank. Probably

59
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: that the new announcement regarding tariffs will be one of

60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: those things, and also just some sort of steady jobs figures.

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 3: But really surprising that at three point eight five percent

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: that's where they'll stay.

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of them are a gettorry

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: about Trump and what's happening, And you know, are you

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: better to just hold for a five or a sick

66
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: before we keep going climbing down the ladder? Albert confirming

67
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: a visit to China.

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll go on this weekend go for six days

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: over their three stop trip, largely expected. But what this

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 3: does is meant that he will visit a China, will

71
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: meet with the President g before he meets with President Trump.

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: Now some of that is because of what happened at

73
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: the G seven with Donald Trump leaving early, but that

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: is causing some consternation here because of the tariff discussion

75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: that's going on. Also the Orchest submarine deals up for

76
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: review from the White House, so getting in the room

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump is probably a benefit to that. Now

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: people inside the government here think that things are pretty

79
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: good between Australia and the US, and given there's so

80
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: much more going on in the world, what this will

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: do though is once again just raise the prospect of

82
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: where we sit as you struggle with the same problem

83
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: when it comes to a defense agreement with the US,

84
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: but a real finance and trade agreement with China. And

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: once again, and in so many ways, New Zealand accord

86
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: in the middle of that, not just the usual stops

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: at Shanghai and Beijing, but also heading to a third

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: city to talk pandas because Australia expecting a new pair

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: of pandas to be sent down Under and might get

90
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: our first look at them.

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,480
