1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: As we go to Australia. Donald de Mayo, very good 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning to you. 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 2: Good morning. 4 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: I was watching a bit of this as this was unfolding. 5 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: It looked cold in camera for a start, because everyone's 6 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: wearing a Philly heavy coat. Then the waterside signed a 7 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: book and head lunch. How's that whole visit from China's 8 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: premiere gone. 9 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: Yes, China's second in command is in town, Premier Lee, 10 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: and he was given a ceremonial welcome at Parliament House. 11 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: And I've keep in mind that China is Australia's largest 12 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 2: trading partner. But there were some tariff staches a few 13 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: years back at soured relations, you may recall. So there've 14 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: been some talks, talks of better military communication. For instance, 15 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: China's now offered a fifteen day visa free travel for 16 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: Australians and I think it's a privilege they're already enjoyed 17 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: by New Zealand, as I do believe. There were some 18 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: protesters outside Parliament and during an agreement signing session there 19 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: was controversy and that was when local Chinese officials tried 20 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: to block Australian journalist Chang Lee from being seen via 21 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: assembled cameras and that is interesting because that Sky News 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: journo Chang Lee, had been detained in China for three 23 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: years and was released just last year. But Albo now 24 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: says that relations with China have been renewed and revitalized. 25 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: There's more talks to come on improving military relations. He says, 26 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: the bilateral relationship is back on track. Good job after 27 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: post today. 28 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: And are very good and or to Perth years two. 29 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: That's right. Looking at the mining now Australia post it's 30 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: like it's the eternal. You're never going to get around at, 31 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: aren't you dogs? Posters? And that's what happens. 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: They've fed up Assie posters said, look, they're going to 33 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: stop delivering mail to people with aggressive dogs. Now we're 34 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: hearing that new data has shown that over the last 35 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: six months one four hundred and twenty dog related incidents 36 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: in regard to our posters. So they're saying they just 37 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: want to be able to deliver our mail without being attacked, 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: harassed or chased by dogs. And apparently fifteen percent of 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: these dog bites are happening at the letterbox and about 40 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: three hundred postal workers actually had to have medical attention 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: and some even had to have surgery. So the Australia 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: Post is saying, please FEUs more responsible with your doggies, 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: especially the small pooches apparently. 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah no, they're the yppy ones there, the ones you 45 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: want to watch out for. They nip the ankles. Nice 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: to see you, Donna.
