Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. Joining us this afternoon, Jake Patrick

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: six PR Perth Live presenter our Australian correspondent, Jake Good afternoon,

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Good to have you on the show. Now, the women

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: and three children who were killed in their home this morning,

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about that? Do we know

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: what happened?

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an awful, awful story. That mother is now

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: under police guard in hospital, accused of stabbing her three

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: children with a kitchen knife. This happened at their Boukham

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: Hills home, so that's about a half an hour drive

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: northwest of Sydney's CBD. We're hearing reports that the father

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: of the children woke up to screams from inside the

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: home where this incident occurred. To we know a ten

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: year old and a thirteen year old been stabbed in

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: their abdomen, while a sixteen year old who lived with

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: the disability and uses a wheelchair, had stab wounds and

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: multiple lacerations. So they were all taken to Westmead Hospital

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: in a stable condition. Their forty seven year old mother,

20
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: who was also transported to hospital, she had self inflicted

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: stab wounds and yeah, that investigation is ongoing. Whether any

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: charges have been laid, we'll probably find out out late

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: this afternoon.

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: A very very sad situation. Indeed, now the Prime Minister

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: is pledging battery subsidies for homeowners. I'm assuming he doesn't

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: mean little aaas.

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: No, no, that's right. So this is interesting. So the

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: PMS actually touched down here in Perth earlier this morning

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: announcing a very West Australian base to hospital announcement, but

30
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: for the national audience that he's looking to dip into

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: power bill subsidies and looking at energy rebates for homeowners

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: to buy batteries. So you might have seen, you know,

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Tesla offers a battery that you can attach to your

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: home and with solid power and whatnot, you can generate

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: your own electricity and really cut down on your power bills. Now,

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: the island irony here is that Anthony Albanezy Labor Prime Minister,

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: our premier here in Western Australia, is a Labor premier

38
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: and he rolled out a very similar policy in the

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: lead up to our own state election earlier this year.

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: It's almost a carbon copy and it's essentially for listeners,

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: you know, a battery that the rebates will before costs

42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,279
Speaker 2: a family about ten thousand and fifteen thousand dollars before installation,

43
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: but it will cut your annual power bill by around

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. They're looking at a sort of a

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: loan or direct subsidy scheme to help homeowners get these

46
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: batteries in their house. It's a big debate, the energy

47
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: and cost of living debate here in Australia at the moment.

48
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: On the other side of politics, the Liberals and the

49
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: Coalition are preparing to release their own modeling soon on

50
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: the impact of their controversial gas reservation plan. That's also

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: links into wa because we're the only state in Australia

52
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 2: that has a gas reservation plan in place, which means

53
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: we're lucky enough to have cheaper power bills over here.

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: So that'll be a big talking point whether the gas

55
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: reservation policy is what voters are looking for with the

56
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Coalition or the greener energy path with what the Prime

57
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: Minister is looking to go down with these home batteries.

58
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: So that'll be interesting to play out over the next

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: few weeks.

60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Interesting stuff, Jake, thank you very much for that. Jake
