1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Murray olds Ossie correspondents with us amass very good afternoon, Heaven.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: How's the Carnie Is it going? Yeah, looked pretty well.

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I think looks it was always going to go well.

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: I suspect him. And there's a bit of a bromance

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: between mister Kearney and Albanezy and you know, I think

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: it was underlined by Mark Carney when he addressed the Parliament.

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: It was a pretty somber warning. I think about the

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: demise as he sees it of the global architecture that's

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: really sort of helped the thing together since the end

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: of the Second World War. He says that he told

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: Parliament that the global architecture is breaking down under the

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: weight of crisis after crisis. He said, Canada and Australia

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: helped build the post war world and delivered you know,

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: global prosperity. But that's under threat, he says, like never before.

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: But he has express confidence that countries like Canada, like Australia,

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: those Middle powers he referred to remember that terrific lne

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: about if you're not at the table, going to be lunch.

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: He says that you know, the nations like Canada, like Australia,

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I guess like New Zealand as well, can lead the

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: way in repairing what's left of the world order. He

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: spoke of very strong ties, both proud democracies that navigate

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: the world and share the same values and a common heritage,

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: a common perspective, and he says we can build a

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: common future. So I think, all in all, it's been

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: a pretty successful visit here for the Canadian Prime Minister,

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: and I think to a lot of us strangers saying

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: bloody good he stood up the Trump and gave them

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: both barrels. I see, you've got the first couple of

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: hundred of your lot back from the Middle East. Yeah,

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: they got in last night, and I'll tell you what,

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: they were very very happy to get in, and so

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: were their loved ones and their families. But that leaves

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: about one hundred and fourteen one hundred and fourteen and

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: a half thousand. I he's still up there, and we

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: understand this afternoon that the Australian Defense Force is drawing

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: up plays to go and get them if they have to.

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Penny Wong, the Foreign Minister, is still saying, listen, commercial

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: flights remain the best option. We've had. One out last

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: night to Australia. Others are leaving for the much closer

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: ports up in Europe. Of course, it's not an easy

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: thing to bring people in military aircraft down from the

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Middle East to Australia. I mean it's a long long way.

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: It's like in a Hercules. Goodness me, you'd have to

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: stop there three times, I suspect. But in any event,

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: they've got crisis teams up there right now. They left

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: I think yesterday up there to help local consular staff

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: try and make some sense out of what's happening, because

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: all these people want to get out. Aviation experts are warning,

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: by the way, that Australians just postpone any European travel

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: plans for five or six months because it's going to

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: be a mess. There's going to be all sorts of

52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: potentially very expensive trips that might have to be canceled

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: because of war breaks out. You're not covered travel in durance,

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: so you've done so if you've bought you know, tickets,

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: imagine buying business class flights to and from Europe will

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: be twenty thousand dollars and you've kissed that money. Good buy.

57
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: If there's more conflicts, So they're saying hang on, Penny

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Wong saying hang on. They're all saying we're doing our best,

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: and the Australian government is, as I say, scrambling consular

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: staff to fly to the Middle East, fly into trouble.

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: If you like to try and make some sort of

62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: sense on the ground for all the osnies, for all

63
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the Australians who are there, can you explain to me

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: this business about the school telling the kids, filming the

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: kids going into the toilets and whether this is okay. Yeah,

66
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: well the parents seem to think it's okay. The school

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: of Saint Leo's in Wurrunga, which is up in Northern

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Sydney now recently Saint Leo's spent a great deal of

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: money refurbishing bathrooms for the kids. And it's a private school,

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: they can do it. They're like, there's no CCTV inside

71
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the toilets, obviously, but there is CCTV across the school,

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: which I guess most schools have these days. And according

73
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: to Saint Leo's, they don't want their bathrooms to be

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: trashed by unrule these students because they've spent a lot

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: of money on them. And what they're doing is monitoring

76
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: kids who go to the bathrooms during class time. All right.

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like there are teachers on duty

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: when the you know, it might be morning recess or lunchtime,

79
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: afternoon tea time or whatever, there are going to be

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: staff there patrolling the place, looking at, you know, just

81
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: where the kids are and what are they doing. You

82
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: can't do that, of course, when teachers are actually teaching.

83
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: So if these kids are going to the bathroom heaving

84
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: toilet rolls around, shoving toilet rolls down the toilets, and

85
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: some blocking them up, the school says bugger that. And

86
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: most parents have said, you know what, We're entirely on

87
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: your side. We don't want little Johnny coming home with

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: a detention because he's bunged up the bog. And I think,

89
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: you know, I think the school's getting thumbs up from

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: most parents. Yeah, brilliant. Good to hear, Melz, thanks very much,
