1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Murray Old's Ossi corresponding with us right now. Mars, Hello, 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: very good morning, do you Heather, So what's the reaction 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: been to the last of the Bali nine getting back 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: to Ozzie, Well. 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: It depends you ask, you know, the more conservative Australian voters. 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: You know you listen to talkback radio. The news broke 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon and that the last five are now home. 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: They flew into Darwin on the same airline that they 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: flew they were planning to fly back all those years 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 2: ago with heroin strapped of their bodies. There were five left. 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: One died in prison, of course, two were shot dead 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: by firing squad. They were executed for their roles in 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: this drug plot. And of course the only female was 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 2: paroled early and Renee Lawrence has been home. So Scott Rush, 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: Matthew Norman Sichi, Chen Martin Stevens and Michael Chugay were 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: all serving life sentences. Anthony Albanezi had a word to 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: the incoming Indonesian president on the sidelines of a recent 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: South American conference and they're our home and you know, 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: the right wing here are saying, well they should have 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: stayed there. We don't want them back the left is saying, well, 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: you know, you don't get that long for murder and 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: it's time they were brought home. Interestingly, Heather, there's no 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: additional punishment required from back in Australia to be supervised obviously, 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: and they will also you know, there's going to be 25 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: no ongoing punishment. As I said, there's no more jail time, 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: and I mean, let's put it that way, but you know, 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: they will be monitored and the government says, look, they've 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: done the crime and they've now done the time, so 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: they home in time for Christmas. 30 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: What kind of state do you reckon they'll be in 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: after nearly twenty years in an Indonesian jail. 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: Would be pretty messed up. I mean, it's not the Helton, 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: is it. I mean, it's a pretty dreadful prison system. 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: But then I mean, to show me a prison system 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: it's any good, I'd be dreadful. Spent twenty years, you know, 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: and the best years of your life in a hellhole 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: like they've been in. In fact, they've been scattered at 38 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: different prisons Indonesia. It's not as they have even been 39 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: together all these years. So look, I think for them 40 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: and their families and the ones who love them. It'll 41 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 2: be a very welcome Christmas present. But not everybody's doing 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: handsprings show. 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: I can imagine that, hey, Dustin will be pretty pleased 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: to themselves. I when people are still talking about as 45 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: nuclear land. 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: Yeah they are. And again I mean look, politics is 47 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: fractured along ideological lines over here. There's no attempt anymore 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: to have a common policy for the common good for 49 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: the Commonwealth, none of that, particularly in the febrile environment 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: we find ourselves in in the countdown to an election 51 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: early next year. How early we're not sure. It's up 52 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: to al but easy to pull the trigger on that. 53 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: But yes, Peter Dutton finally dropped his nuclear power planned 54 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: last week. Again the right wing, where's well done, Pete, 55 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: excellent plan, notwithstanding the enormous cost that taxpayers will have 56 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: to spend amen seven hundred billion dollars or something to 57 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: build seven nuclear power plants. We'll be paying for that taxpayers. 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: And also a couple of very important moving parts of 59 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: the Dutton plan. It's going to delay the in fact, 60 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: it will help the rollout of renewables as far as 61 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: the Coalition is concerned. And somehow he's going to magically 62 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: make the old coal fired power stations that are clapped out. Now, 63 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: no one's willing to spend a dollar on trying to 64 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: refurbish these things and keep them going, but the Coalition 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: wants to keep them going. Well out of the twenty thirties, 66 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: there are seven of these and they're at the end 67 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: of their lives. So who's going to refer these We're 68 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: not sure. The government says it's pieing the sky. Nonsense 69 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: from a guy who's clutching its straws. The coalition, the 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: opposition of course, saying well, Labour's plan, you know, it 71 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: depends when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: When that's not happening, base load power isn't being provided. 73 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: So it's going to be another area of contest in 74 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: the lead up to the election. But underpending everything, it's 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: cost of living that's going to be the big one 76 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: for the election. 77 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: Here the mas listen, do we know what resort in 78 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: Fiji these people got alcohol poisoned at. 79 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: No, we don't. We're all you know. I just heard 80 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: last night. I've been to the Coral coast of Fiji. 81 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: It's a beautiful spot, lots of lovely resorts, there. I'm 82 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: not sure exactly which resort. No, we haven't. We have 83 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: not learned that. But it's it's pretty serious. It's got echoes, 84 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: hasn't it? Of Laos and the recent tragedy up there 85 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: where those young people. There were two young Buzsie girls 86 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: who died, but there are four Australians involved in Fiji. 87 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 2: Seven people rushed to hospital. Hang on, I've just looked 88 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: it up here, thank you very much. Indeed my computer 89 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: the Warwick Resort, the Warwick Fiji Resort, another. 90 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: One Warck's not it's not that's but flash, isn't it. 91 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: Well, look I'm not stay there, but no doubt you 92 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: know Hosking and the likes would be. I think he's 93 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: got a sweep there. Yeah, well he is. That's right. 94 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: It's a very smart resort. Now is it deliberate? Is 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: it an accident? We're not sure. The Fiji and Health 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: Ministry is on the case and apparently the people who 97 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: have been taken ill have now been transferred to perhaps 98 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: the best hospital in Fiji. So look, more news are 99 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: coming through today and no doubt, lots of concern for 100 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: these people, yeah, particularly given what we saw in last Marz. 101 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Thanks very much appreciate it. That's Murray Olds. Hoskin's got 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: a suite there. He says, like he doesn't have a 103 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: sweet there himself. The Warwick is quite a nice a 104 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: nice resort. I'll tell you what everybody's interested in.

In fact, the last time I 110 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: went to Fiji, which was this year, I went to 111 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: the Coral Coast.
