Police rating some Sydney properties. This is 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: the investigation into the caravan terror plot. 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll remember this back in January when this was 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 3: discovered by New South Wales police and there were directions 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 3: found in this caravan about the location of the Jewish 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 3: Museum in Sydney and the Great Synagogue with signs saying 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 3: if the Jews. At the time, Chris Min's, the New 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: South Wales Premier, described this as you said, this incident 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: as terrorism. As we talk this afternoon, raids are being 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 3: carried out across Sydney by both federal and state police 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 3: investigating those organized crime links. 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 2: That's all the information we have at the moment. 17 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: I'm sure that police will be providing more intel on 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 3: that at this afternoon. But you do wonder exactly who 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: has been involved in this and the people. 20 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: Who were arrested on the investigation were charge. 21 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: Over the caravan plot earlier in the month, whether this 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 3: is their family members or whether these are people as 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: known associates. They're saying they have criminal links and I'm 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: sure we'll discover more shortly. 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Alfred for a second, because it's 26 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: basically the worst of it is over, is that fear? 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, the cyclone of itself, the worst of it is over. 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: But the Lochier Valley, for example, which they've described as 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: the inland tsunami, is facing now some flash flooding. Again, 30 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: this was claimed the lives you may recall back in 31 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: twenty eleven of about twelve people. The main street of 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 3: the town of Laidley, which is about an hour east 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 3: of Brisbane, is now underwater. Flash flooding is hitting Ipswich, 34 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: which is another major concern. They've also got issues in 35 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 3: northern New South Wales around Clarence Richmond Tweed rivers. Dozens 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: of sees warnings in place along those rivers, so obviously 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: everybody watching as well. All these river banks burst and 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: we'll have a repeat of what we saw back in 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: twenty eleven. So major flood warnings are in place in 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: lots of southeast Queensland, northern New South Wales. 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: We had a man die on Friday who. 42 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: Has swept into the flood waters in northern New South Wales. 43 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 3: Obviously all the schools pretty much. 44 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: In the area are closed. 45 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: Thirteen people were injured in a crash of two Australian 46 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 3: Defense Force vehicles near Lizmo. 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: They're expected to make a full recovery. 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: But look, it is chaotic, so the rain may have 49 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: pretty much disappeared for the moment. All the worst of 50 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: the actual cyclonic conditions or ext tropical cyclone have dissipated. 51 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: It's the flooding that he's got everybody on very high alert. 52 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: And what about Elbow's chance has nothing to do with 53 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: the flooding, of course, but to the local elections out 54 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: your way. 55 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's a little bit to do the flooding. 56 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 3: You know what, I think you'll see the pitches over 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: the weekend. You remember back in the nineties when John Howard, 58 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: the former Australian Prime Minister, always used to march around 59 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: in his Australian rugby track sit. 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: Do you remember those pictures? 61 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Right? Yes, I do. 62 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: Well, there you've got Albow walking around in the Australian 63 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: cricket track suit. 64 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: Now I just, you know, commented to a few of 65 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: my colleagues. You know, he's trying to do with John 66 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 2: Howard here. But look over the weekend. 67 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: On a more serious note, we had the Western Australian 68 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: election where all of a sudden, you need thirty seats 69 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: in our fifty nine seat parliament to govern, and the 70 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 3: Labor Party give you an example here, the Labor Party 71 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: had such control that the Libs were decimated in just 72 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 3: two seats. Four years ago, we've just had the state election. 73 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: They're still counting going on. The Libs congratulations have more 74 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: than double their seats to five, but it looks like 75 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: they won't do much better than that. 76 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: I mean, that is a horrible result for the Liberal Party. 77 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: So if you are. 78 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: Anthony Alberanzi today you have got a smile from ear 79 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: to ear because look, the opinion polls today are still 80 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: looking like a hung parliament federally whenever he calls that. 81 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: But in Western Australia, which was expected to really fall 82 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: and go hard for Albanesi, he would look at that 83 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: state election result over the weekend and think, I mean, 84 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: with a real chance here of holding all the seats 85 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: that he gained in Western Australia and maybe hold on 86 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: to minority governments if he is to win the federal election. 87 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Fascinating stuff and interesting the suburb breakdown and the inner 88 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: versus out of suburbs. Basically the further you drive from Perth, 89 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the more they don't like Elbow right. 90 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 91 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: And there's the live sheep export industry which is being 92 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: phased out that hits Western Australia really hard. 93 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: So that's something which is interesting. 94 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: But out of the results here in Perth just quickly 95 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: over the weekend, while there was a big swing against 96 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: the incumbents, the Labor Party, everybody's going minor parties, not 97 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: just Greens. They're looking at independents, they're looking people from 98 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: the left right out party. They're just getting off the 99 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 3: majors and that is a theme that's been running in 100 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: Australian politics for some time. 101 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: It's really gaining traction and momentum. 102 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: Fascinating stuff.
