1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Murray Old's Australia correspondence with us AMAS.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Yea, you wouldn't want to missed that big one, would

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: you know.

4
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: I mean you're a huge collector of flavor, flavors music. Ah, No,

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: I have no idea, mate. Anyway, listen, talk to me

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: about what prompted Elbow to send this Lisa over to

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: the UK.

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Is it a distraction from his

9
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: own domestic worries. I'm not sure, but certainly you know,

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: there's no secret he's been a Republican his entire life.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: He's been in public life ever since he was a

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: student politician when he was like seventeen eighteen. So perhaps

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: no surprise that he's confirmed that he's the first prime minister,

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: the first Commonwealth leader, in fact, apparently to let the

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: British government know that Australia would back any suggestion that

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Andrew mount Batten Windsor be flipped from the line of succession.

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: He's currently eighth in line. They want to get rid

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: of him, apparently in the UK. Now the Albanezy letters

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: is dear Prime Minister Starma. Of course they cross it

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: out and say dear Kia. Light of recent events concerning

21
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: Andrew mount Batten Windsor. I'm writing to confirm that my

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: government would agree to any proposal to remove from from

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: the line of royal succession. I agree with his majesty.

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: The law now must take its full course and there

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: must be a full and fair and proper investigation. Australians

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: take these grave allegations very seriously, so he's firmly in

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: bed with Keir Starmer. They are mates, of course, and

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: I guess no surprise that Australia would take the stand

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: given its Republican leadings. Certainly the Labor government.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Now, given as we were just saying in the world

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: wise that there are some restrictions on what the Commission

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: can say, what are we expecting to actually get from

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: the Commission?

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: I think a lot of us is going to be

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: in camera, given that there's going to be no speedy

36
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: up and down in court for the alleged gunman who

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: survived Von Dai Beach. So to that extent, I mean.

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: Virginia Bell, very very experienced jurist on the bench of

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: the New South Wales Supreme Court before she was elevated

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: to the High Court, the highest court in Australia, very

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: well regarded as a jurist, and I think that's pretty

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: clear that a lot of the revidence will not be

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: able to be held in public. Now that's going to

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: upset a lot of people, not the least of which

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: would be a Jewish leadership around the country because they

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: want to have a public accounting of the rise of

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: anti Semitism, certainly since the Hamas attacks on October seven.

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: But you know, I spoke this morning to the Executive

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Council of Australian Jury. This has been going on basically

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: ever since the first fleet arrived in Australia. There are

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: quite a few Jewish guys on there who had been

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: convicted of crimes and they say it's been going on

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: ever since. So the Executive Council of Australian Jury says

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: this Royal Commission was the quote here. It's not really

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 2: a question for the Jewish community. In many ways, it's

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: a character test for Australia as a nation. And I

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: also spoke to the Jewish Board of Deputies and Michelle

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: Goldman told me that basically this is an opportunity for

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: all Australia to walk in the shoes of Jews who

60
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: daily have to go about their business, getting you know,

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: sledged and getting reviled and so on. Now, if she

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: wants the commission to be held in public as much

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: as possible to examine how and why anti Semitism is

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: taking such deep roots in Australian society, and to make

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: sure we understand what's happened so it can never happen again.

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: This is very very significant, very deeply important for the

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: Jewish people. But also I think to every fair digam

68
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: Australian heather who says, how the hell did this happen

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: in this country, of all countries, for goodness sake, the

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: same as New Zealand that a hole from bloody northern

71
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: New South Wales. How can it happen in our countries?

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: Yep, that's a fair question to ask. Now, how are

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: you feeling about this Trump Tower? You excited? You're going

74
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: to go see it?

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: Whow? I'm on the edge of my seat. I mean,

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: there's this slight, a slight. I mean you know this

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: guy's where is his name? He's a Gold Coast property developer,

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: Say no more. His name is David Young. He's the

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: chief executive of something called Eltus and he apparently, he

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: says he signed the deal with Trump Junior, one of

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: the junior Trumps at Mara Lago and Florida on February fourteenth,

82
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: so ten days ago. He says, three hundred and forty

83
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: meters in height, ninety one stories. It'll be the tallest

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: in Australia. He said, two hundred and seventy apartments. Heather

85
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: like you to start at five million, a six hour

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: luxury resort, high end retail of beach club, swimming pools, restaurants,

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: you know. He says, there were misconceptions about Trump towers.

88
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: These projects are going to be quote tasteful and expensive,

89
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: but sadly, sadly for mister Young, the ABC's reigned slightly

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: in his parade. Reporting at lunchtime today he's at two

91
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: times bankrupt. So whether or not it gets beyond the

92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: you know, I'm holding a news conferences afternoon and the

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: name Trump's going to be mentioned. Get along quick. Let's

94
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: just wait and see. But certainly grand plans for a

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: Trump tower on the Gold Coast.

96
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: Construction will start this year. We'll see Murray Olds, thank
