1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with endsit Eye Insurance, peace of Mind for

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: New Zealand Business. Murrayol's OSSI correspondent with US. Now, hey,

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Mars made. I know she really enjoyed your endorsement, Susan Lee,

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: very good afternoon. I think it's what swung it for her.

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Do you know why we endorsed it, Yeah, we about it.

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: We endorsed it because of the numerology thing. We thought

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: we need one of those in there what we do.

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: And look, I found out a bit more about her.

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Four you. She's also a qualified pilot and an air

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: traffic controller. She looks He's no dummy and nor is

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: she a political novice. She's been in parliament, would you

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: believe since two thousand and one. She was a minister

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: in successive governments Turnbull, Abbot, Turbull and then Morrison. She

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: was forced to stand down as Health Minister twenty seventeen.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: So I mean health. As you know, health is a

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: very significant portfolio, so she was judged good enough to

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: be Health minister. She was forced to stand down though,

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: because she was on a taxpayer funded trip to the

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: Gold Coast. Oh and while she was there, she dropped

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a lazy million or something on a new apartment. So

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: that went down like a lead balloon and she was

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: forced to stand down. Her deputy is Ted O'Brien. He's

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: the fellow who was pushing the nuclear energy barrow. Was

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: hard and he could in the run up to the election.

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: Of course, with winners, the are losers. Angus Taylor, this

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: hard right chap who was in charge of selling coalition

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: financial policy, economic policy. He lost the leadership ballot. He

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: lost that vote twenty nine to twenty five. And when

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: he went down, just Senter Price, who, of course, the

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: indigenous woman. Firebrand is the usual adjective ascribed to her.

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: She pulled a name out to be deputy leader when

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Angus did not get up. So the Taylor Price dream

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: team at the hard right over here, all these frothing

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: old conservatives, Oh what a dream team? Sorry? What why?

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: They've got the first female leader and that's going to

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: go over like a lead balloon and the hard right

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: sort of corner of dark of late night sky television

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: as well. But having said all of that, she is

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: very experienced pair of hands and it's going to take

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: have Look what Julia Gillard did in minority government. I

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: don't know what it is when you know it all

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: goes to tripe. Australian politics turns to women. You saw

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: it in Joan Kerner in Victoria. That was a basket case.

44
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: You saw it in w WA twice. Now we've seen

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: it with Gillard and of course now we see it

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: with Susan Lee. And she's got a mountain to climb.

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Ninety plus ninety two or three seats for labor in

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: the lower House. They're just over forty for the other side.

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: So she's got a very big job, Heather. Now the

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Bondei junction stabber, the psychiatrist has testified. What have they said, Well, basically,

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: this was a woman who treated Couci Joel Couchy for

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: eight years a psychiatrist in Queensland from twenty twelve to

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. She treated Couchy. She told the Inquest that

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: she began reducing he was on very very very strong

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: antipsychotic medication. He was very very un well schizophrenia with

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: deluxe schizophrenia, so he was on very strong antipsychotic medication.

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: She began to wind it down after Coucie was judged

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: well enough to leave the public health system, and that

59
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: schizophrenia diagnosis was also reduced from chronic to what they

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: call first episode, and that was within the first year

61
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: this woman began to treat him. So she said he

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: was on the path to whatever recovery looks like for schizophrenics.

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but she's a psychiatrist and she

64
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: judged him sufficiently well to go on that path. And

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: she also told the inquest how that this guy killed

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: six people, stabbed ten others, but she said she never

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: saw any signs of any problems or relapse or safety

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: issues in the eight years that she was treating him.

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: So this was a guy wanting to explode when he

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: went off as medication. We've already heard that at this inquest. Yeah,

71
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: listen on your players, your cricket players. Do they want

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: to come home? Well, a lot of them are home.

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think there's any left in

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: India right now. The IPL they all hopped on planes

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: and came home. So to the Australian players over in Pakistan,

76
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: the Pakistan, I forget what that's called over there now,

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: the Pakistan whatever it's called, the limited over the Super

78
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: League Super thank you very much. You're not of crickets

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: fast a period of mine. Suffice to say, all the

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: Ausies are high piled out of there because of the

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, the obviously accelerating tensions between India and Pakistan. Anyway,

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Cricket Australia says is backing players decisions whether or not

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: they're returned if they don't want to go back. Don't

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: forget a lot of these players are not frontline test players.

85
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: They are looking to play in the IPL and the

86
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Pakistan Big Bash because of the big paydays they get.

87
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: And don't forget as well, this time next month just

88
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: about they're going to be in London to take on

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: South Africa in the World Test Championship that those two

90
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: countries will contest. Don't forget. New Zealand won that first

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: time out by beating India, so it's it's up in

92
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: the air very quickly. In rugby news, Joseph Suartli very

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: very bad concussion last week. He's out for at least

94
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, but he will be back in

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: time for the Wallaby selection process with the Lions. And

96
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: good news too for fans of Noah Lolla Coo clear

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: of a neck fracture, Thank goodness. Not sure when he's

98
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: going to be back. Don't forget he's the number one,

99
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: he's the incumbent Test number ten, so not sure when

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: he's back either. The Lions tour begins in June, late

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: June over here. And Pete Samo too, who played two

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,919
