1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance Peace of Mind

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business Murray.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 2: Old Ozzie correspondents to that's Heimas afternoon.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Heather.

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so how much of this stuff are you sending

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: over to the UAE.

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: Well, we're sending, according to the Australian newspaper, the Murdoch Press,

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: all the missiles that were en route having been purchased

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: by the Australian Defense Force from the United States. We

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: were told, according to the OZ newspaper a week ago

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday last week, sorry you can't have them. We're going

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: to be sending them to the Middle East. The United

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Arab Emirates needs a bit of help because we're going

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: to bomb the tripe out of Iran. So the Australian government,

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: we understand, has known about this for a week. We

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: were told this morning that in fact these missiles are

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: going the exact number we're not sure. But also going

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: along is one of the Apparently it's one of the

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: world's most sophisticated airborne radar and intelligence platforms. This skin

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: can fly around up there and basically intercept, not physically intercept,

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: but can detect drones and missiles and other things long

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: before they hit their intended targets on the ground. And

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: the idea is these wedgetail aircraft, we'll be able to

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: direct the stuff from the ground to come up and

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: intercept these missiles and drones. So that's that part eighty

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: five personnel to go and help run this. Not sure

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: how long, maybe a month, however long it's required. But

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: you heard Richard Miles out of the Defense Minister at

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: considerable pains, as was Anthony Albanzi, the PM, and Foreign

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Minister Penny Wong at considerable pains this morning to say,

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: this is not offensive, it's defensive, and you know, we're

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: just basically helping out the UAE. I think in brackets

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: you can probably safely assume helping out Donald Trump, who

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: rang Anthony Albanesi around haboz Won this morning. Apparently local time,

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: elbows tucked up in bed in the South Sydney Arms

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and the bat phone goes and there's Uncle Don from Washington.

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: God knows what went through his mind.

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Now, talk to me about these five who escaped. How'd

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: they make the break?

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Well, apparently they these members of the Iranian women's football

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: team made their intentions clear and the Australian federal police

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: were sent in. Now you know, I don't care if

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: you're a Revolutionary Guard or the All Blacks or whatever,

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: you don't go messing with federal cops because they are very,

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: very powerful. As you know, they've got jurisdiction here, not

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. And so it's our understanding.

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: They simply went to the rooms of these five women

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: and said, right, come with us, you're the ones who

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: And again this has been a trained for quite some time,

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: for a number of days, and the deal was done

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: this morning about have us won? Not long after, Donald

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Trump phoned Antony albin Ezi, and these five women are

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to be allowed to stay in Australia. They've got special

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: visas and they'll stay as long as they wish. And

55
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: the same invitation Heather has been extended to every other

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: member of the Iranian women's team who wishes to not

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: go back home and to stay on here in Australia.

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Considerable risk to their families apparently as well.

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have thought so. So do we know

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: how they got the message out or how the message

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: got into the team.

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: No, we don't. That was not conveyed this morning with

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister. But suffice to say Federal Police did

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: have a role. Now, whether or not there were female

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: members of the AFP who were assigned to provide you know,

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: security detail the Revolutionary Guard component, we understand they weren't

67
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, dressed up in the uniforms. They were wearing

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, tracksuits and team apparel and so on, looking

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: like the you know, the nastiest, fittest bunch of physiotherapists

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: you've ever seen in your life, I guess. But they

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: were there to apparently keep a very very close eye

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: on these young women, and the Federal Police went in

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: apparently and grabbed them and said right, you're coming. Now.

74
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: The timeline for them to leave Australia. We don't know

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: the balance of the team apparently not you know, a

76
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: number do want to go home. They don't know all

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: want to stay here, but there may be some of

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: us who do.

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, listen to if one the driver's already out.

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: The drivers have fled and I knew nothing about this. Again,

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: it's a Murdoch Paper story. Apparently, if you're a foreigner

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: and you come to Australia and you earn any money,

83
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: you're paying forty five percent. It's called a foreign residence tax.

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: So every dollar you make, forty five cents goes to

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the Australian government and it's it's a tax that's applied

86
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: to every foreigner. So that's why Max for Staffan was

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: here for six days. The example is used is for Stapping.

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: He arns about seventy million US a year, so in

89
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: six days he earned one point one five million dollars.

90
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: Forty five percent of that would have been four hundred

91
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: and sixty bucks every day. He's up for another seventy

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars. He said to his personal bloody pilot,

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: keep me out here quick, alban Ez. He's got his

94
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: hand in my pocket. I want out of here. And

95
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: so apparently every F one driver's gone. They're all up

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 1: to China, apparently much more generous tax regime up there.

97
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: And all the poor mechanics. I always feel for them.

98
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: The drivers bend the cars, bust them up like Pastri did.

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: They've got to put them all back together in a

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: week in time for the next race.

101
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: Myles, thank you very much, as always appreciated.

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:22,880
