1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: After Australia we go down at Tomato. Good morning to you. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 2: Good morning. 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: So ALBERNIZI has been responding about that Chinese research ship 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: which is traveling in your waters. 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: Yes, well, Australian agencies and now monitoring this high tech 6 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 2: Chinese research ship which actually also operates a deep sea 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 2: submersible vessel. Now where is it now? It's making its 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: way through southern Australian waters, So tracking websites and agencies 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: as I mentioned, have tracked the ship passing the Victorian 10 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: coastline recently. Now it did just complete joint surveys with 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: New Zealand, as we know. The Prime Minister was asked 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: about the ship while he was visiting Perth and his 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: response was he'd prefer the ship wasn't in Australian waters, 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: but suggests that China isn't breaking any international laws. And 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 2: he also says that, as he put it, we live 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 2: in circumstances where just as Australia has vessels in the 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: South China Sea and vessels in the Taiwan Strait, this 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: vessel is here. He also says he will make sure 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: that we represent Australian interests as he said it, and 20 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: has every confidence, and he repeated that every every confidence 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: in our defense force and security agencies. Now this comes 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: just a few weeks after China's navy conducted an unprecedented 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: circumnavigation of much of Australia. 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: It's the fine out of brickmanship. Now you have a 25 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: growing diabetes epidemic. 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: Yes, well, how many Australian adults have diabetes? New data 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: has been released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Health 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: Measures Survey, and I think this is quite a army. 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: One in fifteen Australians have diabetes. Now, that is an 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 2: increase of about one point five percent compared to a 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: decade ago, so that makes it oh more than well, 32 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: I think it is about one point three million Aussies 33 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: have diabetes. Men more likely to have diabetes than women. 34 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: Adults living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely 35 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: to have diabetes. And interestingly, I found that Diabetes Australia 36 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: Chief Executive Just King says there's actually a stigma around 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: even speaking about it. So some people are very uncomfortable 38 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: about saying that they have diabetes. Hence they're not getting 39 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: the support and the treatment that they may need. So 40 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: she's saying we need to ditch the stigma. And the 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: data also showed that there's a growing number of Elsie's 42 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: with high cholesterol and also vitamin deficiencies. 43 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: And I thank you donand Tomay for more from Early 44 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: Edition with Ryan Bridge.
