1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: Murray Old's Ossie corresponds with us, now, hey.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 2: Mass, very good afternoon, Heather on.

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Some more details on that chopper crash and Ken's a yes.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen the pictures look like out of a

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: film like Tom Cruise a foot He comes straight from

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: Paris to kens and far North Queensland. Because it was

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: just this bizarre scene a stolen helicopter we understand crashing

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: onto the roof of the pub was not a pub,

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: it's a upmarket hotel. Four hundred people had to be evacuated.

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: The wreckage that is now removed, I mean they had

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: a rotor blade end up in a swimming pool down below,

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: other parts that were strewn on the street below. What

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: they've done is removed the wreckage. They've taken the flight

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: recording devices off that aircraft and various bits and pieces.

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: We understand they are only way to Canberra, where this

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: kind of stuff is analyzed and evaluated. Here in Australia.

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: They have yet to identify the pilot. The pilot died

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: of course in the crash, I mean the thing burst

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: into flames on the roof of the hotel. So reports

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: suggests he was a former employee of Utaliss Aviation. This

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: is the company that's already said the helicopter was stolen,

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: apparently removed from a hanger and flown away. So look

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: a little bit more detail coming out. We still didn't

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: know who a person at the controls was. We may

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: find that out in the next twenty four to forty

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: eight hours.

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Mars, listen, I see there's a push

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: to ban the gambling ads on free to ear Telly.

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: What are the chances that actually happens?

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, good luck, good luck. I mean, the gambling industry

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 2: in this country may be the same over home. It's

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: so powerful. Neither side, mainstream political side in this country

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: has got the guts to take it on. Heather. The

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: cross Bench is saying you've got a ban gaming advertising online.

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: Independents are saying the same thing. Health experts are saying

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: the same thing. Get rid of these dreadfully ads that

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: are non stop on your television when sports is on. Well,

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: Bill Shorten's belled the cat. Bill Shorten, of course, a

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: very senior government minister over here. He told the ABC

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: a big it was a it's a current affairs TV

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: show that goes to where nationally Monday night he said,

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: guess what, Free to wear television in this country is

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: in such bad shape it needs that gaming revenue to survive.

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: Now critics are saying, you are kidding. What a pathetic

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: thing to say. There's been a very big inquiry that's

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: come down banned advertising. And I heard one guy this

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: morning say, it's just like we used to have tobacco

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: ads sponsoring rugby league and rugby union and goodness knows whatever,

49
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: but they banned advertising of tobacco. But guess what people

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: still kept smoking. He said, exactly, the same thing will happen.

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: We just won't be exposing ten year old kids to

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: gambling ads. They know what a quality is, they know

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: what a you know, like a cornella is at ten

54
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: years old. You're kidding. The gambling industry is saying, oh look, no, no, no, no,

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: we need this. When NEN position these ads like this,

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: and guess what they donate big time to big parties,

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: it's not going to change. No, it's not.

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: When there's money involved, it's not going to change. Listen,

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: these allegations, right, but there's a toxic culture and commercial TV.

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Are we blaming this on the lack of unionism?

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 2: Well, I know that's I haven't heard that in the

62
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: last twenty four hours. But boy oh boy, there was

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: an explosive show last night on again the ABC National Television.

64
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: But it's a bit like you know, I mean, commercial

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: television is been out there in the public eye for decades.

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: Of course, we've already had nine exposed with that ex

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: news director walking away with a million dollars apparently touchy

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: feely and creepy. We've had ten well, you know, go

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: no further than Bruce Lherman and Britney Higgins. And now

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: we've got Channel seven exposed, according to the ABC, as

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: a place so toxic that some employees were considering suicide,

72
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: that young female workers were regularly sexually harassed opposition, you know,

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: and the critics routinely muzzled ever with lifetime non disclosure

74
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: agreements for fear of getting busted and caught. It's a

75
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: very very unhealthy picture of commercial television over here, where

76
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: the only thing that seems to matter, mate, is getting

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: the story first. And if people are bruised and battered

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: and kicked to the sidewalk as they go through life

79
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: or big buddy deal, no one seems to care.

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,719
