1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. Murray Older was with us out 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: of Australia. Murray, good afternoon, h r in you. Now 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: there's just update us on the gun laws, the situation there. 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: It looks like there are changes coming. 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right on the back of what happened at 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: bon Day. On Sunday evening, there was a national Cabinet 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: meeting and emergency Cabinet meeting. This was set up during 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: the COVID years. It was consisted of federal representatives in 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: all the states and territories. And yet there's going to 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: be a tightening of gun laws. But you hear Chris 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: Men's there and that clip you played, you think, well, 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: why the hell wasn't this done earlier. The guy who 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: was killed at Bondi on Friday on the Sunday night 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 2: was the owner of six guns, shotguns and long rifles, 16 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 2: long barreled rifles. Now you'd have to ask yourself why 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: on earth would some guy living in suburban Sydney need 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: like a small armory. It's different for country people. They 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: need to go out and shoot feral pigs and feral 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: goats and all the rest of it. They need to 21 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: put down animals humanely, but there's no reason for a 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: fellow in suburban Sydney to have six very high powered weapons. 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: That's one thing you're looking at. You think, why was 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: it done earlier. They're going to look at tightening who 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: can own guns, so they're gonna limit gun numbers. We 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: think they're going to tighten who can own them. You 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: have to be a citizen to own guns now. But 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: they wouldn't have stopped the young fellow who is in hospital. 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: He was shot and nearly killed alongside his father. He 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: was born here, so heaven only knows what they're going 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 2: to do. John Howard, the former Prime minister, very interesting today. 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: He came out and said, listen, do not let this 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: government use tighter gun laws as a smoke screen, as 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: a diversion to distract from their lack of action to 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: combat anti Semitism. He was very strong on this, and 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: I mean Albany's under a lot of pressure. Elbow's in 37 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: a lot of pressure for failing to really curb this. 38 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: It's the only way to describe it. In anti semitism, 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: fire bomb attacks on homes, on synagogues, and John Howard 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 2: made the point this can happen Sunday, can happen when 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: the forces of hatred are allowed to spread and grow unchecked. 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: So watch that space as well. Albany's on a bit 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: of pressure. They're going to be scrambling now to get 44 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: something together. 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. A similar thing happened here after we 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: had Mosque shootings Murray, and everyone said, well, you just 47 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: covering up for the failings of the fact that the 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: guy could get a gun in the first place. You know, 49 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been allowed to, but did and rules 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: were broken. What about the Philippines trip. What's happening here? 51 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: What do we know? 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: Well, the ABC reported this early today this morning, and 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: now the ABC reporting that it's been confirmed by an 54 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 2: anonymous source in the security industry. Yes, father and son 55 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: went to the Philippines in November. The Australian Federal Police 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: is on the case here. Speculation they flew to Manila 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: and then went down to the southern Philippine and actually 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 2: had some military training with a group down there that's 59 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: banned in this country. Apparently. See I know nothing about this, 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 2: but when ISIS was chased out of the Middle East, 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: apparently they went down and set up a Southeast Asian 62 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: branch in the Southern Philippines and me into now I 63 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: think so anyway, that's a line of an active line 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: of inquiry. Now that the Sun, by the way, was 65 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: interviewed in twenty nineteen by ASIO, which is our domestic 66 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: security agency, about his connections to members of an ISIS 67 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: cell that ass knew was operating in Sydney. They busted 68 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: the cell, but this kid fell through the obviously fell 69 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: through the cracks and by the way, in the car 70 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: that father and son left at Bondai before they began 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: their murderous, bloody rampage, police have found ISIS flags and 72 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: some improvised explosive devices that did not go off. So, 73 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: you know, on the primer facing, you think, wow, how 74 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: they held all they you know, I mean, is this 75 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: not being flagged? And I know it's easy to sit 76 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: here and criticize and the wake of what happened, but 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: you just think, well, Heaven's above, he's a guy who's 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: been investigated once after the Philippines. What are you going 79 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: there for with that? Oh? Okay, yeah, what sight's saying? Whatever? 80 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you just you expect more. Perhaps it's unrealistic 81 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: to expect more, Ryan, but your buddy will do. 82 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely reasonable to expect more, especially when 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: your muddy, your your buddies with a with an isis 84 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: guy you know who's now in prison? All right, must 85 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: thanks that that's Murray Old's out of Australia. 86 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 87 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 2: news Talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow 88 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio
