1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Okay, this is shocking. An urgent investigation is underway in

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: New South Wales. A video has appeared on social media

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: that shows nurses bragging about killing and refusing to treat

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Israeli patients. Have a listen, let's say.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: Let's say an Israeli God for beat them to them,

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: you'll kill them. So if an Israeli is in Australia

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: and God's for something happened to him and he comes

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: to your hospital, would you kill him? Okay, you have

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: no idea how many Israeli A dog came to this

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: hospital and.

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: And then the guy makes a throat sitting gesture. Police

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: have been called in. Prime Minister Albanezia has described the

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: footage as sickening. Australian correspondent Andrew McFarlane is with me.

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: Hello Andrew, Hello, how are you good? Where did the

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: video come from?

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: Yes? This video popped up on Instagram this morning and

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: certainly sent shockwaves through. It's sort of shot like a

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: chat roulette video where there's a social media personality and

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: his whole shtick because he goes around on this rulett

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: at and talks to people from around the world. When

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: he stumbles across these two New South Wales Health employees

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: who are on the night shift at Bankstown Hospital. He

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: starts talking to them and when the pair in the

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: video discover that he is rightly, that is when this

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 2: discussion starts between the two of them. And obviously those

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: shocking comments were made which have been allegedly labeled anti

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Semitic by the police here by Anthony Albanezi, the Premier

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: and health officials as well.

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: What do we know about the nurses?

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: So the two of them were wearing these blue uniforms

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: with the New South Wales Health logo. They've been working

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: in the Health department here for some time. One of

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: them is from Afghanistan but has moved to Australia several

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: years ago and become a citizen. There's a slightly strange

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: situation here where because the two of them were working

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: the overnight shift, they may technically still be asleep at

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: this hour. So while the Health department said they've been

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: stood down and they're likely to be fired, the pair

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: of them may not actually know that just yet.

40
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Is there any truth that they actually did something terrible

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: or is this braggadocio or is there any evidence of

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: any patient harm.

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: At this stage there is no evidence. New South Wales

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: Health was pretty quick to say that they are obviously

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: testing those comments made allegedly by the pair in this video,

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: but at this stage they say there is no evidence

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: that anyone's either been denied treatment or killed in a

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: New South Wales Health facility because they are Israeli.

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: There have been a number of stories of anti Semitic

50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: attacks in Australia, anti Semitic words and sentiments over the

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: past few months. It seems to just be growing. So

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: the pressure is on is it being stopped?

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: Well, that's the question Anthony Albanezi is facing daily. We've

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: had here in Sydney. There was a period of a

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: few weeks but almost every single day, certainly every single weekend,

56
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: the Jewish community in Sydney was waking up to these

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: pretty shocking comments, these bits of graffiti across their buildings,

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: their synagogues as well. They have taken a bit of

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: a downturn recently, but it's taken a lot of police

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: resourcing and a lot of messaging as well. This is

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: a very high profile incident and this is probably going

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: to attract a lot more international attention than the past ones.

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: And Anthony, how Albinezi is facing accusations that he's going

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: soft on anti Semitic attacks. This isn't going to help

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: that narrative around his leadership.

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: Currently, Andrew McFarlan, I thank you for your time.

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,760
