1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends in eye insurance, peace of mind

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. But for the average human it

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: was still six minutes faster than what I did a

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: half marathon, and Murray Old's Australias correspondent with me, now Hammers.

Speaker 3: I'm very well, actually going two minutes? Hold on, two

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 3: hours forties? Really slow, isn't it? Oh no, I didn't

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: one six Now I beat the robots.

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: I mean, look a marathon, the marathon world records just

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: over two hours, and you know a good runner will

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: do a half marathon in half that time, So it's

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: a bit slow.

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So how fast is your fastest half marathon?

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: Right, now, you don't waste your time to just jacking.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: Don't waste your time with nonsense like that. That's a

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: young person's game and we're both too old for it. Now.

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: This chap David Spear is what's he got for the

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: coke use?

20
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: Well, nine thousand dollars fine and almost forty hours of

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: community work, which is kind of a bit weird, but

22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: there we are. He was sentenced for supplying cocaine to

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: two young fellows. Gave them drug that is home twice

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: last year. Now the court was previously told Spiers used cocaine.

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean he's the ex Liberal leader of South Australia.

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: He was the opposition leader up against Peter Melanowskis, who

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: was one of the most popular political leaders in the

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: entire country of Australia. No wonder he turned to the

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: oblivion marching powder to keep himself up. He was using

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: coke to help him cope with the stress of political life.

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: But he was caught on camera snorting a white substance

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: and he quit his Liberal leader at the end of

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, so his fall from grace complete.

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Now with the sentencing, ls, what's happened here in Ellie

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Springs with the shopkeeper.

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: It's up in Darwin actually, and the young fellow was

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: actually he came from Alice Springs. I put aunt crook there.

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: I gave him the wrong steer. This happened in Darwin

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon. A seventy one year old grosser, very well

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: known figure, married for over fifty years to the same woman,

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: big family man. He stabbed to death. This young man

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: was in the shop. He's gone. The shopkeepers gone up

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: to and said listen, put that stuff back on the shelves.

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: I've seen you stuffing the things into your jacket and

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: your bag. The young guy's pulled out a knife and

46
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: stabbed him to death. Now it's emerged the team was

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: out on bail on very serious sex assault charges. He

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: should not have been anywhere near Alice Springs either. He'd

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: been ordered to stay in a remote community. But he's

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: made his way to Darwin, out on bail and he

51
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: stabbed this fellow to death. That's the allegation anyway, And

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: he'll be in court. I think he's in court today.

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's rough. And so I see that.

54
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, right now Sky is holding a press conference,

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: is broadcasting a press conference with the Northern Territory Parliament

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: apparently looking like they're going to strengthen the bail laws

57
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: as a result.

58
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah you go, Well, look, it's a heck of a problem.

59

69
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: She looks about fifty kilograms in weight and about four

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: foot nothing. And this buffhead has gone into It's a

71
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: political meeting. It was organized by would you believe, the

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: Friends of the ABC and Manique Ryan, the t MP,

73
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: the member, the federal member for Couyong. She was there

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: as well, in this suburban library with this audience, as

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: I say, of ABC friends, they're having a political discussion

76
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: about the upcoming election. And this buffhead, this a well

77
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: known right extreme right winger in Melbourne. He's walked into

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: the library with a cameraman and tow yelling about immigration

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: and crime. Right. He's walked in and disrupted the meeting.

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: He did not count on this older woman jumping up

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: and going over and trying to smack him in the face.

82
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: I mean, she didn't come up to his shoulders and

83
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: she's taken this swing and he's obviously back the way.

84
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: He's backed out of the library. He's still yelling about

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: so called liberal democracy and how bad it is police recall,

86
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: but the troublemakers had buggered off at the time the

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: police arrived, and this I think the I think Manick

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: Ryan looked more upset than the older lady who had

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: taken the swing. I think she looks very very well

90
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: capable of looking after herself somehow.

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,200
