1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: We're off to Australia and good morning Donald tomorrow.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 2: Good morning to you.

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: So Tariff Talk comes to Australia with your Prime Minister

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: to talk to Donald about steel.

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Abinizsi, our PM is planning a chat with Trump.

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: He wants to make that case for fee free, sorry

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: free and fair trade with America now that we know

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: that President Trump says he's going to impose his tariffs

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: on all steel and aluminum imports into the US. Now

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: this is on top of existing metal duties that we

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: know of, and he says that that's going to count

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: for everybody. Everybody's facing this twenty five percent tariff. So

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: the Albanese government has been preparing for such a decision,

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: it says, and it's been reported that attempts on how

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: to secure these tariff exemptions have been developed behind the scenes.

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: We know that Richard Miles, who is our Defense Minister,

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: was in the US on the weekend and he has

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: been meeting with senior Trump officials, but no word on

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: that yet. Meantime, the PM says he does have an

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: upcoming phone call. We're not exactly sure when that is,

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: but he's going to bring up tariff. So we have

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: to just wait and see what happens there after that

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: little chin wag.

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: All right, just now, you've got some big bushfires in Tasmania.

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: Yes, many many, in fact, about sixteen blazers are raging

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: across Tasmania's remote west. But we know that help is

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 2: on its way and aircraft operations manager is coming from

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: New Zealand to help with the fire fighting efforts, so

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: thank you very much for that. But lightning strikes that

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: started these bushfires in western Tasmania, it's about a week ago.

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: They're still raging. There's hundreds of people there trying to

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: get on top of it, and we know that there's

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: also specialists from New South Wales and Queensland heading down.

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: But unfortunately Tazy's going to have some searing heat, some

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: very very hot weather on its way at least for

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: tomorrow and Thursday. But thankfully the cold front is due

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: late Thursday, so hopefully that will help.

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: And have we offered help.

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, someone from New Zealand is coming. An aircraft

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: operations manager apparently is on their way, which we have

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: to say, thank you very much for helping us with

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: our firefighting efforts.

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,920
