1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Murray Old's OZSI corresponds with us amash afternoon to you,

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: has Elbow done the right thing deciding not to go

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: to that NATO meeting in the US, Well, big call.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: He's been to the last two. This is a NATO

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: meeting in Washington. Of course he went the last couple

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: of times, and he was accused of being airbus Elbow

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: by the opposition. You know, the more impressing that, you know,

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: the more important problems at home, Elbow, he must stay home.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Well now he's doing that, and of course the opposites

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: are your dereliction of duty. You should be representing Australia.

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is that he couldn't get

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: a one on one with Joe Biden. And you know

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: he's desperate, keen to prosecute the benefits for Australians of

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: the tade at the Stage three tax cuts that the

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: government managed to ram through. You know, significant benefits according

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: to the government for every single lossie cheaper power bills,

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and the list goes on and on and on. So

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: he's going to send the Deputy Prime Minister instead looked

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: a bit like you and Keir Starmer. You know you're

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: damn with you do, you're damned if you don't. He

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: doesn't want to leave himself wide up into another opposition

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: attack about you know, being away from home when the

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: fires are burning. And equally now he's decided to stay.

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: How he's getting belted anyway, So you can't win too, right, Hey,

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: So it's all over for the live exports. Yeah, and

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: we've been here before. It's not a new movie, you know.

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: I went back looking because I knew you wanted to

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: talk about this. Live sheet trade has been around for

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: well over well and some I read somewhere that it's

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: been around since around the Second World War, but it

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: really geared up about twenty five years ago. Now it's

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: worth around one hundred and forty million dollars a year.

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 1: The only state that exports live animal sheep and cattle

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: anymore over here is Western Australia. And so the decision

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: it was a it was flagged. I mean, this was

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: an election promise that Labour took to the last election

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: and that's now been enacted. It past the up House

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: last night, so it's now law. Well, of course the

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: sky is going to fall and if you listen to

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: the Farmers Federation over here, but The fact of the

41
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: matter is it is a it from welfare and animal

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: welfare point of view, it's a disaster if you have

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: very hot temperatures. These animals are dying in vast numbers.

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Thousands and thousands of animals are being being killed at

45
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: sea because you know, China or Saudi Arabia. Someone says, oh,

46
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: we've picked up scabby mouth or you know, these sheep

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: aren't top quality. But the poor buggers are out there

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: there and they're literally dropping dead on the high seas.

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: And we've had cameras in store, we've had vets, you know,

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: compulsory veterinary inspections on board. The fact of the matter

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: is it's not good for the animal's welfare, particularly over summer.

52
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: We even had the ridiculous situation where live exports were

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: banned during the summer months by the Morrison government. Anyway,

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: the whole thing's going to get knocked on the head

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: as of twenty twenty eight and Labour says, well, we

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: told you so and now we're monitoring a promise. So

57
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: mass listen. So the security staff in the hospitals are

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: going to try all these body cameras, are they to

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: see if that actually stops the assaults and stuff. But yeah,

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: this is in New South Wales. In the twelve months

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: to March this year, there were nearly one thousand violent

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: attacks on hospital staff. You're thinking emergency departments, you're thinking

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: security staff who are there in increasing numbers, and that

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: was an increase of twenty seven percent. There are nine

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: or ten hospitals that have been identified in New South

66
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Wales has been the worst for this type of crime

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: and the security guards are going to start wearing body

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: cameras around three hundred of these cameras only recording. According

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: to the government, if there's a risk to staff or patients,

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: well the Australian Milical Associations is better than body cams.

71
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: How about we get decent community mental health treatment facilities

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: out there in the community, because this is what's happening.

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,279
Speaker 1: A lot of people are presenting with mental health conditions.

74
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: They walk into an emergency department, the moment sleeping under

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: a bridge. The poor buggers they're walking there. That's I mean,

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: you know what it's like. It's crazy. It's just like

77
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: on television. There's lights as people yelling and people screaming

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: and crying, no wonder they are up a bit. Others

79
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: are coming in drugged off their faces or drunk. Anyway,

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: The AMA says that's a much better way. The Health

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Services UT represents the security guards is saying this morning,

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: I interviewed the guy this morning at the ABC. He said,

83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: guess what if this keeps going at the rate it

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: is twenty seven percent entries in the last twelve months,

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: We're going to have to have police armed police she

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: stationed permanently in emergency department. Yeah, that is really bad. Hey, Mars,

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Appreciate that. Murray Ols, Australia correspondent.
