1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with ENZ and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: Oli Peterson, Australia correspondents with US Hallo, Oli Heyda. There

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: satanic stuff, so bit weird, isn't it.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: Really. We're a bloke by the name of Landon Geramotta Mills.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard of him before. He runs an organization

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: called the Underground Media Network, aged twenty six and is

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: the leader of this group. Now. Underground Media Network describes

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: itself as an independent investigative journalism platform aiming to investigate

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: issues in child protection and public interest harm. So it

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: gives the idea obviously that they're there to help, that

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: they're there to uncover these sorts of rings. But the

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: people involve are allegedly also pedophiles themselves. So this twenty

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: six year old man has been arrested, he's the alleged

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: leader of the group. And then three other men aged

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: forty six, forty two and thirty nine have been arrested

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: across Sydney. Now this happened late last week. One of

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: them was a former swimming coach. But this all coming

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: to light today by New South Wales Police and as

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: you heard, their Detective Superintendent Jane Doherty saying the material

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: was of horrence and some of the child abuse material

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: and the torture of children that these police officers alleged

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: to have witnessed on these hard drives they could not describe.

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: So this is all obviously going before the courts early

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: next year and it just sounds absolutely horrific.

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds grim. Okay, what's happening with the Defense Department, Well,

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: they're going.

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: To make some major changes foreign Sorry, the Defense Minister

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Richard Marles a Deputy Prime Minister. The Defense budget, if

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: you look at it like this header, it's worth fifty

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: six billion Australian dollars a year, but within ten years

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: it's going to go to one hundred billion dollars. Obviously

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: all around, obviously the investment in Orcus in particular, but

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: the government is going to announce a major overhaul of it,

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: going to cut dozens of high ranking officials. They say

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: they want to reduce the cost blowouts. Now, if you're

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: going to obviously double the size of the investment and

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: then get rid of people, is it about trying to

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: reduce red tape? I don't know. It sounds on the

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: surface anyway, like it does need a reorganization. There's something

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: like nineteen projects ongoing from the Defense Apartment at the

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Defense Department at the moment, and it's just going to

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: be about trying to re strategize which particular projects should

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: be a priority. But it all points towards orcus good

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: luck trying to make the Department of Defense more efficient

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: because we've got a hierarchy, right, that's what it's all

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: built around. It's going to be a difficult task ahead.

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: So how much is Australia phizzing for Elbow's nuptials.

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: Well, he's paid for it himself. We're told he's all

50
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: paid for it himself.

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: He's a straight and who paid for it?

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Well, forty people turned up here. But I'm surprised you

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: and I didn't get an invite. I thought we might

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: have been on the guest list. Would have been a

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: bit of fun, wouldn't it. Forty people at the lodge

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday. He's paid for it himself. Even the Opposition

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: leader Susan Lee and the Nationals leader David Little proud

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: of all said, you know, good luck have a great life.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: And it was described by Jody the Prime Minister's wife

60
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: that wherever Obviously the Prime Minister goes to get married,

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: there's going to be an extra expense, right, because he

62
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: needs a lot of security. They actually think they may

63
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: have been able to do a little cheaper in the

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: gardens at the Lodge in Canberra on the weekend. But

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: the first ever Australian Prime minister to be married in

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: the grounds of the lodge. Kind of cool. I suppose

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: they're on a honeymoon somewhere here in a strike. Maybe

68
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: they're in Wady's, probably in Perth.

69
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: Let me go have a look. Oh no, no one

70
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: goes on a honeymoon in Perth. Did she take a surname?

71
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: Is she Jodi Albanese?

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: No? Not yet, not yet? I reckon she will. I

73
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: mean she's already represented Australia on the you know, side

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: by side with him on the big stage around the world.

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: She might take Jodi Alberici.

76
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: So she's still Jody Hayden and she's still a modern woman. Yeah,

77
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: at the moment, she is good for her.

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: I like that.

79
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Did your wife take her name?

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? She did, Yeah, but she had she had a

81
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: sort of a German Dutch kind of surnames Easier, Steinhauer.

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's quite a nice surname, Agae. I'm surprised

83
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: she swapped Steinhawer Peterson. I'm not gonna lie. Thank you.

84
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,480
