Thank if you company. 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.439 This afternoon, I want to kick off the program with 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.760 some good news. The trains are running on time. Stop 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.200 the presses. The trains are on time now this time 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.560 yesterday afternoon, that wasn't the case. They are an absolute 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.640 mess on the t For him from personal experience, it 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.120 continued well into the night. There was an electrical problem 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.040 that while I creak now does that coincide? Do you 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.319 think with the Electrical Trades Union being the only one 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.200 of the unions that hasn't yet come to a deal 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.440 with the state government on a payer. I was just 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.480 put it too and two together. I wonder if there's 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.080 any link there. We're told not so. The trains in 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.160 good nick this afternoon. The same can't be said for 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.720 the roads. The M seven is a mess around Eastern 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.200 Creek at the moment of Steve has been reporting serious 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.800 accent involving a truck in a car this afternoon. The 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.280 northbound lanes is still very much affected and likely for 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.480 some time to come. If you see something around the 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.720 roads or the public transport network that we need to 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.959 know about. Please give me a call one three one 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.240 eight seven three. Also on the show today, new figures 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.080 have been released showing a surprising number of young Australians. 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.640 We'll be able to afford a deposit for a first 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.959 home under the Albanezy government special guarantee for a five 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.759 percent deposit. So we talk so much about housing being 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.000 unaffordable for young people, Well not so much for a deposit. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.400 But here's the twist, they can't actually afford the repayments. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.920 Mark Guy is on after five point thirty. He's in 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.000 Perth for Origin two, but he's also in wa for 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.360 the reunion of the Western Reds, which he did play 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.600 for back in the nineties. We might actually talk about reunions, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.920 old sporting reunions and reunions at school and I will 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.360 spin two GB's Winter Wheel. There's the chance to win hundreds, 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.760 in fact thousands of dollars on off of this afternoon. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.640 Don't call yet, We're going to play a little later. 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.680 You'll need my que to call.

Well in Sydney now, two 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.400 men remain on the run following the braze and shooting 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.959 at the Auburn Kebab shop South Parade, Auban yesterday afternoon 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.400 that left three people in hospital, two men and a woman, 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.800 a forty seven year old woman who was simply doing 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.480 her job serving Kebabs. The head of Task Force Falcon, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.120 which is looking at Sydney's gang crime at the moment, 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.200 is Jason Boxen, joins us, thank you for your time, Commander, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.160 not a problem. You still have two men on the run. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.040 Has there been any progress in the search today. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.480 We've had about forty detectives attached to Falcon and plus 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:57.320 the regional police out doing extensive canvassing, looking at CCTV 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.519 and following up a number of vehicles that were discovered 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.480 early this morning that were burnout that we believe we 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.680 used in these offenses. So we are continuing and we're 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.160 putting all resources towards this. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.200 The Assistant commission of the Acting Commissioner should say Peter 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.720 Thurtel told me yesterday that the vehicle that you were 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.040 looking for was an out e Q seven. Is that 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.280 one of the burnt out vehicles. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.040 Yes, that's correct, that was found burnt out and it's 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.399 been retained for forensic examination. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.520 Peter Thurtel also told us this has been well reported 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.239 that one of the victims, the twenty six year old man, 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.800 had been the victim of two attempts in the past 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.960 couple of weeks. I understand you've now confirmed there's been 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:35.800 another attempt on. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:40.120 His life, including yesterday. There's been four in total that 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.440 we're aware of that when this fellow's been targeted. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.720 So there was an attempt it was it a rose 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:47.640 Hill last Friday? 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.760 Yeah, last Friday, he was a premises with a number 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.040 of associates and a vehicle was observed to drive pass 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.400 with around four occupants with their face covered and holding 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:04.000 a fire. That they fled that scene and police arrived 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.880 a short time later and the was not able to 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.360 be recovered. But that's also been discovered. BURNI out this. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.200 Morning that the ute from Friday has been found today. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.040 That's correct. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.200 Have you managed to speak to this man today? 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.120 We have spoken with him on a number of occasions. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.280 We're not getting a great deal of information from him 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:21.920 at this point. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.040 It's now been well reported that there was an attempt 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.200 by the police prosecutors after the incident involving the ute 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.600 in paramount of Grandville on the twenty fifth of Maine. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.800 He had been charged over a weapons offense that had 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.440 been temped by the police prosecutors to refuse bail, and 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.720 that wasn't agreed to when the court made that decision. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.960 How did you react to that, Jason, Yeah. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.440 I think the prosecutor is quite strong voicing our concerns 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.880 for this person to be not in custody, to be 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.080 allowed to remain in the community. So everything that we 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.920 could put forward was put forward, and ultimately there was 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.360 decision by the magistrate, which you know, it's hard for 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.800 me to comment on, but you know, looking at what's 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.240 happened recently, it would have been nice if our concerns 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.960 were you listened to and acted upon, But you know, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.719 we are at the you know, it's relying on the 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.159 magistrate making those decisions. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.080 You'll prosecute. When as far as to say that this 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.760 man is at the ep center of some of these 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.840 gang viotes, well. 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.080 I suggest that you know that four attempts on his life, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.640 does you know it puts him right in the middle 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.119 of it, and I think that's a pretty accurate description, Jason. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.320 There was the suggestion today that that the people who 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.040 have carried out this latest attack had been recruited by 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.440 some sort of website, maybe an air tasker style computer website. 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.680 Do you know much about that they're being recruited, you know, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.120 I think it's trying to put forward that you know 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.280 that there's a number of ways that they're being a 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.680 word of mouth, encrypted. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:58.920 Devices, social media, you know, being recruited not necessarily part 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.480 of the organized crime net work, but they're being recruited 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.359 for these offenses and juveniles. I think you recall that 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.040 I mentioned that last time, and now you know these 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.680 people again. It's it's all to shame that, you know, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.919 we're under the belief that these people are being recruited 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.240 specifically for these offenses. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.080 The Premier has been asked about the courts into that. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.080 I know you can't really comment about that court decision, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.360 but he has been he has been asked about and 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.880 he has said that if if you require more powers, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.039 you simply need to ask the government. Is that something 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.679 that the task Force under your leadership made request. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.880 We've got a prosecutors and the DPP that we deal with. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.640 But you know, without a doubt, if there's something that 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.880 you know, we feel strongly about and there's an avenue 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:47.520 for us to put forward our concerns and have the 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.680 assistance of the government, we'll definitely. 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.200 Look at that because the problem we've got here is 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:52.640 that we've got a forty seven year old woman in 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.200 hospital with another innocent victims as well throughout this this 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.120 gang ViOn. So it just can't be allowed to continue. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:58.240 I can't. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:06:59.960 We're doing every cana stop it. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.400 Thank you for your time, Detective Superintendent. Thank you the 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.520 commander of the Falcon Task Force, Detective Superintendent. We'll look 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.039 at this issue throughout the program. But the bottom line 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.680 here is a magistrate allowed the twenty six year old 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.960 out on bail now he had been charged with a 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.520 weapons offense, but the police prosecutors made it clear he 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.520 is at the EPI center of much of this gang violence. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.440 As Jason Box has now confirmed to us. This was 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.480 the fourth attempt on his life. And the issue here 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.320 is you might not care if he's shot dead. I 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.840 couldn't give a stuff if he dies. The problem is 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.640 the people who were caught in the crossfire, like the 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.200 forty seven year old woman who was simply doing her 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:52.200 job serving kebabs in a kebab shop fourteen past three. Now, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.640 the Liberal Party has been to helen back over the 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.560 past year, not only their failure at the federal election, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.960 but if you can'st your mind back to last September 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.240 in New South Wales, in particular in parts of Sydney, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.120 they could not feel candidates in local government elections. Why 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.880 couldn't they do that because the boss of the Liberal 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.120 Party in New South Wales, Don Irwin, forgot to put 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.560 the nominations in. As a result, a federal intervention has occurred. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.360 That intervention has been led by three Liberal Party elders, 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.040 Peter Seat and Richard Austin and Alan Stockdale. Now you 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.440 recall mister Stockdale hit the headlines a couple of weeks 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.560 ago when he made some jokes about we were in 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.200 the Liberal Party being assertive and he said we might 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.720 need some male quotas well. Some action is now being taken. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.640 There's been a meeting of Susan Lee and senior Liberals 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.240 this afternoon. Zach de Silva has been covering it. Hello, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.080 Zach Hillo, Clinton could to be with you. What's the outcome? 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.800 Where's the direction of the Liberal Party going in? 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:43.680 Yeah? 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.679 So senior Liberal officials have met here in Canberra. I'm 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.280 outside rg Minzi's house. This is the headquarters of the 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.160 Liberal Party in Canberra and I've got to say this 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.760 building has seen better days. I think, much like the 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.400 party in some ways. The Liberals will remain in New 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.679 South Wales in administration for another nine months. That is 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.280 the decision that has been eighty today. But the administration 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:10.200 committee itself will change. So the two Victorians on it, 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.120 Alan Stockdale, the one who made those comments about women, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.720 and Richard Austen, they've been dumped. They will not be 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.840 involved in this committee anymore. Instead, it'll be led by 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.200 Nick Griner. Now he's a former premier I think served 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.200 from the late eighties to the early nineties if memory 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.320 serves me right. Peter Seaton will remain, She'll work under him, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.440 and there will be a number of others Liberal Party 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.520 members senior officials who will also make up this administration team. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.480 But that will remain for another nine months. This federal takeover. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.480 Susan Lee, the federal leader and others hopeful but maybe 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.600 that will get the Liberals fighting fit. Given in New 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.560 South Wales that the next state election really isn't that 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:54.200 far away. 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.920 It's likely to plays New South Wales liberals, I think, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.160 though none of them are happy about the federal intervention, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.880 but particularly with mister Stockdale and mister Allston, I want 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.600 the issue. Has there been any said within these meetings 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.920 about whether there's going to be a decision soon or 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.920 whether the Liberals will contest the decision in the Court 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.719 of Disputed Repeals in Bradfield. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.920 It's a million dollar question, isn't it. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:16.360 Clinton. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.760 There has been no decision yet, as far as I'm aware. 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.440 I keep asking people, and people keep saying, oh, well, 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.520 you know, wait and see them. We'll find out eventually. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.200 I've been told so far, no decision. There is a 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.319 ticking timeline on this though, given the AAC has now 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.839 returned the ritz for the election that happened I think 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.960 last week or the week before, and there is a 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:43.559 timeline within thirty to forty days after that. The Liberals 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.120 need to declare whether they're going to challenge this, so 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.600 they don't have that much longer. They're going to have 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.640 to decide the challenge is if they do. Why it's 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.199 quite costly running these kinds of legal challenges. And then 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.760 two if they're successful, which seems like you'd have to 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.920 say remote possibility. If they're successful, one of the options 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.040 is Bradfield goes to a buy election and that's more 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.880 money that have to bend contesting it. So for a 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.000 party that's not really that flush with cash at the moment, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.520 this is a really difficult decision for them to make, 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.000 and we'll have to wait and see where they land. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.840 And voters in Bradfield may not want to actually go 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.040 back to the polls. Thank you, Zach Pleasure. Thanks Quentin, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.440 our federal political editor, Zach to Silver. Eighteen past three. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.160 Coming up, we're going to talk about a concept where 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.840 you might be able to trade some of your working 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.240 benefits with your employer to allow you to work from home. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.000 I'm going to get your thoughts on that. One one three, 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.600 one eight seven three. This is Sydney now, twenty two 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.560 past three. It's nineteen degrees in the coast, nineteen degrees 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.720 in Penrith. If you live on the northern beaches and 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.120 you aren't happy about the prospect of rates going up 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.120 in the next year, you might want to take a 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:49.920 part in the rally in the coming hours. There will 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.079 be a rally outside the Northern Beaches Council chambers from 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.640 six o'clock. That's outside the head office in d Why 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.840 the Northern Beaches Council wants to increase rates by twenty 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.920 five five percent, Well, in fact, they wanted to jack 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.040 up the rates by a lot more than that. They 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.920 were seeking a bigger increase of more than forty percent 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.040 at one stage, but that was rejected by IPART, the 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.320 independent regulator. But iparts effectively approved a twenty five percent 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.040 increase over the next two years, still needs the Council 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.079 to vote in favor of that. Well, locals aren't happy, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.040 so they're going to stage a rally outside the dy 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.480 officers of the Northern Beaches Council tonight from six o'clock. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.920 So if you're angry about it, this is what democracy 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.440 is all about. Take to the streets of the opinion 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.120 that working from home can be a good option if 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.920 it works for the employer and it works for you 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.360 as well. I think in the end the final decision 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.720 rests with the boss. They're the one paying the wages 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.680 after all. But I completely understand why you might want 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.240 to work from home. Now. Last night I didn't get 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.560 home from here the Raio station at Pimont. You know 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.520 I live in the south. I didn't get home till 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.480 after eight o'clock. And the reason was our trains, as 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.520 you know, are not reliable. The T four was stuffed 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.880 for hours and hours yesterday afternoon. So if I could 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.480 save that two hours and work from home would be 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.120 quite attractive. The trains that I was on from the 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.680 city were absolutely jam packed and there would be people 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.559 there coming back from an office or another place of 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.720 employment thinking job was wishing I was working from home. Well, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.520 what about this idea? You trade off some of the 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.480 benefits that you have with your employer for the right 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.880 to work from home on a particular number of days 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.200 per week. The Australians obtained documents that reveal employers groups 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.800 proposing a clause in a submission to the new Clerk's 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.439 award that's going to be determined by the Fair Work 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.240 Commission and the Australian Services Union. They're blowing up about 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.760 this because they say this is a move by industry 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.040 to cut over time payments, to remove penalty rates, to 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.840 reduce lunch breaks. And I'll talk to the Australian Industry 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.800 Group about this later in the show. But think about this, Okay, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.160 if you're entitled to a forty five minute lunch break, 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.599 wouldn't you be better off giving that up if you 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.240 then saved, say two hours a day in travel time, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.680 Now that could be quite attractive. I actually don't think 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.880 this is a bad idea. I think this is where 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.720 you can actually consult with you boss and come up 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.040 maybe with a better way of working. Let me know 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.840 what you think. Is there something and this is only 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.680 if you've got the capacity to work from home. Of 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.920 course a lot of us don't. But if you have 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.600 the sort of job it might be an office job, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.640 it might be computer based where there would be the 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.679 option to not work in an office. Is there something 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.880 you'd be willing to give up for that right to 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.040 work from home? It might be a lunch break, It 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.360 might be a week's an you'll leave. It could be 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:30.040 the ability to have overtime on a Thursday night. Let 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.760 me know what you think. One three, one eight seven three. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.040 If something is there's something you'd be willing to trade 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.480 for the right to work from home? 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.920 Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard called 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.840 one three one eight seven three. 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.080 So a new Liberal Party executive effectively will run the 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.600 party at a federal level for New South Wales in 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.520 the coming months, and that will include the former premier 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.280 Nick Griner. Gary says, you know what will happen on 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.480 the text line the Liberals will miss the deadline to 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.040 dispute the Bradfield result given their past performance with the elections. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.080 Well they're keeping Don Harwan away now, so maybe they've 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.880 got a chance one three one eight seven three. On 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.200 Sydney's continuing gang war, Adrian wants to have a say 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.200 go to day. Adrian, Hey, are you going good? 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.000 Yeah, it's just frustrating a just hearing that the magistrates 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.080 are undoing this hard work from the police. I mean, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.440 at the end of the day, if a child gets 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.800 hurt or if not worse killed, I think it should 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.720 be on the magistrates conscious that if you know, something 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.400 like that happens, it's it's not really good, is it. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.120 There's a forty seven year old woman in hospital right now, Adrian, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.720 who's been shot twice in the stomach and it's pretty 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.760 clear she would not have been shot in that Auburn 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.560 kebab shop yesterday if the bloke who was the intended target. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.520 The twenty six year old man was in jail at 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.040 the moment as the police requested. 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.240 Yeah right, it never would have happened. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.840 And the issue is going to be other people who 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.880 were then caught up in this this violence as well. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.760 Thanks to you call, Adrian, I've got a text message 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.720 saying that you stated that Chris means A requested if 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.360 there's any of the government can do to assist from 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.840 a legislation point of view to give more powers to 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.040 the police, the police simply need to ask for it. Well, 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.120 this is what Chris Mins has had to say has 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:15.200 had to say about it today. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.840 We've shown a willingness in the past to listen to 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.680 police and enforcement agencies in New South Wales where they 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.479 say new laws are required. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.200 And obviously I'm concerned about that decision. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:32.120 I mean it may based on the last twenty four hours, 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.720 I know a lot of people in the community to 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.480 be very concerned about the decision made by the court. 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:37.640 The question is. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.240 Whether it was an incorrect or an error that was 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.600 made in retrospect or it should have been known at 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.640 the time. I know the Attorney General was looking at 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.440 the transcript as we speak. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.320 Chris Mins should sit down with Jason Box, the commander 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.080 of Task Force Falcon, and say Jason, what do you need? 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.000 What do you need? Do we need to tighten up 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.800 these bar wars. If you want it, let's do it. 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.480 Let's do it now. Coming up peter Ford, three Sons 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.480 of the Beats are getting together and have recorded new music. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.720 You heard Steve mentioned in the traffic report the incident 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.240 involving a current of pedestrian on the piets Ferry River 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.240 Road just past Gorstam Road, Hornsby. We've just spoken with 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.200 New South Wales Ambulance Software. They tell us a boy 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.000 late teens has now been taken a raw north Shaw hospital. 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.119 He is critical, he's suffering back injuries. The ambulance is 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.560 still on the scene. Two of the three southbound lanes 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.399 are closed right there.

Let's check 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:56.520 out your headlines and good afternoon, Katie Fuller. 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.520 Good afternoon, Clinton. The premier is questioning why the tended 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.000 target of a kebab shop shooting was on bail. Police 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.760 had warned the senior member of the Alamandine crime group 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.520 would be targeted if he was released from custody. The 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.360 state's Liberal party will remain in administration for nine months 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.880 under a new committee. Two Victorians have been dumped from 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.040 the committee, which will be led by former Premier Nick Griner. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.560 A unit has gone up in flames on the third 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.200 floor of a complex south of Woollongong. Firefighters are getting 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.960 water on the blaze. It's not yet clear whether any 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:34.040 residents are inside, and electrical pulses could prove an effective 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:38.520 way to treat type two diabetes. Australian scientists are using 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.840 the pulses to regenerate the lining of the small intestine, 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.679 believing it becomes inflamed in those with the disease. In 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.560 Sport fast Bowling Legends, James Anderson has joined the list 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.359 of final nominations for the upcoming Big Bash Draft.

Clinton More News. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.600 Thak Katie nineteen degrees in the CBD seventeen degrees in 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.560 Campbelltown at the moment. Now, on this issue of working 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.320 from home, is this something you'd be willing to give 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.360 up in order to have the right to work from home? 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:11.879 Pete's to send me a message if you'd like to 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.720 send me a text message zero four s X zero 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.359 eight seven three out seven to three. Pete says, yes, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.040 I get a half hour break in the morning and 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.520 a half hour break later in the day. I'd be 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.600 willing to give up those to save on travel time 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.600 working from home. I travel about two and a half 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.480 hours a day to work. Problem is I'm a firefighter. 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.760 A little bit hard to work from home when you're 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.280 a fiery one three one eight seven three. I'll come 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.320 to peter Ford in just a moment. On the issue 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.120 of magistrates allowing bail to people that the police mount 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.200 a case that they should be kept in prison, such 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.680 as the twenty six year old man who's now been 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.280 targeted four times by would be assassin's and we've seen 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.560 other people now caught up in the crossfire, including a 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.800 forty seven year old woman who's in hospital right now 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.560 with gunshot wounds to her stomach after the shooting at 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.400 the kabab shop yesterday. It is on the central coast. Hello, Peter, 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.000 great show mate. 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.480 Stronger laws are not going to make any difference. It's 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:14.240 more than magistrates and law and common sense. Two words 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.480 man minus same thing, yep. Put back on the streets 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:23.040 and look who who would put someone who's been got 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:27.200 at four times? As you say, we don't care about him, 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.040 but people in the crossfire. 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.119 The issue would have been, and I haven't read the 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:36.080 court transcripts of this, but he was facing weapons charges, 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.680 and the weapons charges often people who appear in a court, 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.200 a local court on a basic weapons offense are given bail. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.040 But the issue here was the police said he was 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.960 at the quote the epicenter of the gang violence and 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.480 that's why he should remain in custody. And the magistrate 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.320 hasn't taken that. It appears to have not taken that 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:58.960 into consideration. Think if you call Peter Hello, Rob get 0:20:59.000 --> 0:20:59.320 a rob. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:01.000 Hey, how game good? 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:02.640 What's your view? 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.120 My view is as just saying to produce her there 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:06.440 that perhaps if people. 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.439 Are involved in making decisions for bail, whether they're in 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.480 the court process, whether the magistrates or court staff, whoever, whoever, 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.880 is involved in making that decision to release an individual 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.840 on bail, and they subsequently go on to get involved 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.200 in this sort of activity, that their sinbin when they 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.880 get it three times wrong, so they could make three mistakes, 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:26.919 and then once they've made the third mistake of the 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:31.040 court appointed powerful person, they're done for the sinbin for 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.760 ten days or two weeks or a month or three 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:34.439 months whatever. 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:36.960 A sinbin for magistrates sounds like a good idea. This 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.920 will be from a legal point of view, the magistrate 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:41.960 would have been well within his or her rights to 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.560 release this man on bail based on the weapons offense. 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.720 And this is where the state government, this is where 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.800 politicians need to intervene and toughen up the reasons for 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:53.960 bail that a weapons offense. We need to make sure 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.399 that knife offenses and offenses with firearms are treated more 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.639 seriously and at the moment they're simply not matters to you. 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:04.720 You'll hear it here Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.720 Until we spoke so much on the program last week 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.200 about the death of Brian Wilson, and I consider he 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:10.560 made musical genius. 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:10.800 Well. 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.040 The Beach Boys in some ways have continued over the years, 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.800 even with the Wilson brothers now passed. One of the 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.440 original Beach Boys is actually coming to Sydney. Peter Ford 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:22.959 with the details. Good afternoon, Peter, Good day Clinton. 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.400 And yes this was obviously planned and booked along before 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.680 Brian's death last week. But it was odd that we 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.800 were talking about Al Jardine last week and I said 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.720 to you, then he still goes out with a band 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.320 called the Pet Sounds Band, as opposed to Mike Love, 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.720 who actually still goes out as the Beach Boys, even 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.840 though he's the only original in the group. But Al 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.479 is coming to Sydney. He'll be performing in Sydney at 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.960 the Sydney Opera House on October thirty one. And this 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.119 was announced today And as I said, there were some 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.840 people who I saw some blowback online saying, oh that's tacky, 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.760 but maybe they could have pushed the announcement back another week. 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:00.480 I don't know. 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.679 I'm not sure it really matters. I mean, it's that 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.160 mentality and show business that the show must go on. 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.280 And in the press release that came out, Al pays 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.119 a huge tribute to Brian and they were genuinely close, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.200 as opposed to Mike Love, who I told you last 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:20.280 week was a very fractured, complex friendship they had, but 0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:23.280 certainly Mike Love and Brian were close. So coming to 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.080 Sydney October thirty one. 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:26.720 When he comes to Sydney when he too was a 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.800 country with the Pet Sounds band, would it be Philly 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.000 big venues? He'll play orsa smallan in. 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:35.240 The Opera House in Sydney, So yeah, they certainly are 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.400 playing big venues. I mean obviously not arenas or Stadius, 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.080 but probably the right sort of venues for the sound 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:44.080 they want to create. And interestingly, a lot of Al's 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.680 backup band is actually Brian Wilson's former touring band when 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.640 he was going around as a solo act. So he's 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:53.640 picked all of those guys up now, which is great. 0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:55.600 I saw a concert of the Opera House two weeks ago, 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.320 three weeks ago. It was a sensational venue for it, 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:00.760 so I can imagine that will be quite brilliant. Now 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:04.520 still on music, three sons of Beatles have got together 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:05.960 to make some new music. 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.239 Yeah, well it's going to create publicity. You instantly know 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:13.160 that because this is Zach Starkey, who's Ringo's son when 0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.840 he's not in the Who, and he seems to be 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.560 in and out of that a lot. But he also 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.919 was his own band called Mantra of the Cosmos, and 0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:25.080 that features all sorts of interesting musos. Now he's brought 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:28.680 in for one track only. He's brought in John Lennon's 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:32.480 son Sean, and he's brought in Paul McCartney's son James. 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.159 So you've got three sons of the Beatles performing together 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.399 with other musos and singers. Now it's only for one track. 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:41.840 I've got to be honest and say up front of it. 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.480 But the bit that's been put out there by Zach 0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:48.359 hasn't really grabbed me. But we're not really doing it 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.720 justice by playing fifteen or twenty seconds. But this is 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:55.560 what Zach has chosen to do. The track is called Ripoff. 0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:15.760 Yeah, look, he's probably got a bit of a problem 0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.400 that it's and look we've only hear a little sample there, Pete. 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:19.880 But the problem probably is not that good. 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:24.600 No, well that's cutting the chase, Thanks Clinton. Yeah, look, 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:26.040 I think that's true. I was trying to be a 0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:30.639 bit more diplomatic. But against that, Yeah, well those guys 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.679 that you got a lot to live up to, you know, 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:35.760 And yeah, it gets the publicity. Three sons of the 0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:40.800 Beatles putting out music, but also everybody's expectations instantly go. 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:41.320 Through the roof. 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.280 I felt a little bit sorry over the years for say, 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:47.879 Julian Lennon, the song Saltwater that he put out many 0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.120 years ago was I thought that was a really good song, 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.200 but it's Yeah, when you're the son of an absolute 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.919 legend in John Lennon, it's hard to live up to that. 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.440 It's very hard for anyone in the performing arts who 0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.120 is the son or daughter of someone. Yes, it can 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.960 get you the audition, Yes it gets you through the door. 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:07.159 Yes it gets you some are time. But boy, people 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.640 then expect you to really over deliver that they otherwise 0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:11.400 would good on. 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.480 Your people talk tomorrow basically, Peter Ford, our entertainment reporter. 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:18.560 It's twenty to four. It's ten past nine in Tehran, 0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:21.399 the capital of Iran, and I've just seen more vision 0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:25.160 that's coming through of the highways and the roads absolutely 0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.600 chokers trying to leave the capital after the US President 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.040 basically said it should be evacuated, and many of the 0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:35.760 Iranians following his advice, trying to leave that The question 0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.120 for those people is where do they go? There may 0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:43.159 well be yet a greater refugee crisis right throughout the 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:45.679 Middle East because of what's occurring now between the Iranians 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.040 and the Israelis. There's still no sign of a breakthrough. 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.240 There's some suggestions and there been suggestions throughout the day 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.879 that the Uranians would like to embark on peace talks. 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.879 They would like a ceasefire, and they've sought some of 0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.960 their allies in the Middle East to then speak with 0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:01.360 the United States to see that could be facilitated. There's 0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.040 no breakthrough there. There's no word on that, but it 0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:06.040 does seem based on the vision that I've seen of 0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.840 these choking highways, this high waste is full of traffic. 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.600 People are trying to leave the Iranian capital. It's Clinton, 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.960 Maine with you for a Tuesday afternoon. New South Wales 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.440 Health has issued a warning for us not to forage 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:21.120 or eat wild mushrooms after the discovery of death cap 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.199 mushrooms and they've been found here in Sydney. The deadly 0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:27.040 fungi has been discovered not just in Sydney but also 0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.240 parts of the Southern Highlands southern New South Wales as well. 0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.680 One dose of this particular mushroom can be lethal and 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.240 the symptoms if you have accidentally eaten such a mushroom 0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:43.160 they're not immediate now. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhear in severe 0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:47.160 cases can lead to very serious liver complications, kiddy damage 0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:50.240 or death. There's been a rising poisonings over the past year. 0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:53.440 Last year, twenty three people were treated in hospital due 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:57.879 to toxic mushroom ingestation, including kids, including some little kids. 0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.680 The New South Wales Poisons Informations here to receive three 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:04.320 hundred and sixty three calls about wild mushroom exposure across 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.439 New South Wales. It was a jump of twenty six percent. 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:10.320 So the message is don't eat wild mushrooms, just eat 0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.280 mushrooms you can buy from your fruit and veg stare. 0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.800 Thirteen to four thirty seven percent of Australians now work 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.360 from home, and you might be listening to this program 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.600 while working from a home office and I think for 0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:23.760 many of us it makes some sense. But I think 0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:25.919 it needs to work for both parties. I think it 0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:28.199 needs to work for the employer, after all, they're the 0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.280 ones paying the wages and the employee as well. There's 0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.320 the suggestion that's been made, and this has become an 0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:36.520 issue because unions are not happy about it, that under 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.840 a determination to be made by the Fair Work Commission, 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.520 who were going to consider the clerk's award, that there 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.520 could be a trade off between employers and their workers. 0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:48.560 For instance, a forty five minute lunch break could be 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:53.160 foregone in order to facilitate working from home. Unions say 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:56.320 that businesses may well use this whole concept to not 0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.520 pay overtime rates, perhaps to reduce the amount of annual 0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.880 leaves what he's entitled to. Nis Willocks is the chief 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.280 executive of the Australian Industry Group and joins ustake a 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:06.000 for your time. 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:07.240 Hi Clinton, how are you. 0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.360 I'm good. This actually seems to make some sense to 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:13.360 me to come to an arrangement with an employer whereby 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.000 you might give up a certain number of breaks per 0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.000 day in order to work from home. But the unions 0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:18.840 aren't happy about it. 0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.600 I'm glad it makes sense to you, because it makes 0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:23.600 sense to a lot of people as well, because the 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:28.040 world has moved on from when this award, the Clerk's Award, 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.560 which covers over a million workers in Australia, was last 0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:34.240 written up. It was written up at a time when 0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:36.840 we all worked in an office and all worked sort 0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.239 of nine to five or a variation of that, and 0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.400 going back sometime. Tony Burke, when he was the Minister 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:47.720 for Workplace Relations, initiated a review into the awards to 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:50.880 make sure that they were up to date and represented 0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:54.080 modern work practices. And the Fair Work Commission has picked 0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:58.080 this up and it is looking through the Clerk's Award 0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:00.520 to make sure in the context of work from home 0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:04.880 that it still makes sense and manifestly clinton for employers 0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:08.040 and for a lot of employees it doesn't. People don't 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:12.000 work nine to five, don't have a set half hour 0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:14.640 or forty five minutes for lunch when they are working 0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.640 from home. They're working from home largely because they want 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:20.720 some flexibility and their working day. Pick up the kids 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:24.479 right about now, for instance, from school, drop them off 0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.480 in the morning, do some tasks at home, and they 0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:30.000 work around that. They might start a bit earlier, finish 0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:32.920 a bit later, work sort of not in a sequential 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:36.440 sort of pattern. So what we are saying to the 0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:40.000 commission is, could you consider when you're looking at working 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:43.560 from home taking all of this into account that employers 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:48.280 who are interested in outputs and employees are increasingly interested 0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.520 in some flexibility around their working arrangements when they do 0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.880 work from home, and let's come up with some sensible compromises. 0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:58.200 Your opponents, though, the Australian Services Union, and they represent 0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:00.160 many of those million people that you refer to the 0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.120 Clerk's Award, they're saying that your members are going to 0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.000 use this as a cash grab, for instance, to avoid 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.680 paying over time. How do you respond to. 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:11.080 That, Well, not at all, because this is all about 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:14.520 reaching an agreement. It could only be implemented whatever the 0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:17.920 final situation is, and that would vary from employee to 0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:21.800 employee and employer to employer. That could only be reached 0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:25.400 by an agreement between the employer and their employee around 0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:29.640 what those working conditions or arrangements would be. When someone 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.280 is working from home and people want to do this 0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.720 in different ways. Some people prefer to work at night, 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:35.720 others in the morning. 0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:36.840 That's fine. 0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:40.000 As I said, employers are interested in the outcome here, 0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:44.360 the output. If someone is asked and tasked to do 0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:47.480 something way above and beyond, of course that should be 0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:51.200 dealt with as it is now as an additional piece 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.440 of work, and they should be recompensed appropriately for that. 0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.480 But at the moment, what you have to do under 0:31:57.520 --> 0:31:59.920 the award, if you're following it properly, is to have 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.320 the employee fill in time sheets and virtually punch a 0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:07.360 Bundy clock when they start and finish work. And that 0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.840 just doesn't fit in a working from home environment. So 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.680 we're saying update it for twenty twenty five. It's not 0:32:13.760 --> 0:32:17.240 nineteen seventy five anymore. And if someone has to work 0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:20.480 it additional and do extra, of course they should be recompense. 0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:22.240 For it if he makes some employee sense. The flexibility 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:23.880 is needed in this situation. And it's just while I 0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:25.880 have you there, there was an issue that popped up 0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:29.120 from the UK about a particular worker who's now been 0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:32.320 banned from working from home because his employer found that 0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:34.560 he was faking the amount of time he was actually 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.360 at his desk. He somehow managed to activate the Z 0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.760 key on his keyboard permanently, so it made it look 0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.520 like he was using the keyboard. So is the way 0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:46.240 employers now manage working from home? Do they have that 0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:50.400 ability to monitor you electronically with how you're using the technology, 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:51.479 how you're using a computer. 0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:55.720 Well, employers always have because they can see when you're 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.400 on a computer or not. But of course people try 0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:02.120 to manipulate that all the time. Now employers have concerns 0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:05.000 about people doing two jobs when they're working from home 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:08.760 and so not devoting their entire time or resources to 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:12.400 the job that they're being paid for. Soya, Look, this 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:14.320 is part of the issue that we're getting at here. 0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:18.480 People are working differently Clinton to the way they did before. 0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:20.960 Not everyone is able to work from home, but there 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.760 has to be some give and take here and some 0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.680 common sense and some compromise, or else we're just going 0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:27.560 to get stuck with an old system, and in the 0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:31.560 end it will drive employers to compelling workers to come 0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:34.000 back to work where they're visible, can be seen, and 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:35.360 can be held to be accountable. 0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:38.760 I think some balance makes some sense. Good anyoneness Back 0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.200 to Clinton, You take care it is willoxsro's chief executive 0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:42.880 of the AI Group. Well over to you. You tell 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:44.760 me what works for you. Would you be willing to 0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:47.800 give up maybe a week's annual leave, have three weeks 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.560 leave instead of four for the actual right, So it 0:33:50.560 --> 0:33:52.840 wouldn't be you'd have it locked in stone that you 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:54.600 work from home three days out of four, but you 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:56.440 give out of or out of five, but you give 0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:58.680 up some leaf let me know one, three, one, eight, 0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.400 seven three day. The bus says on the text line, 0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.400 I tried working from home. It did not work well. 0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:06.040 Dave is a bus driver. 0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:12.640 There is Sydney now with Clinton on t. 0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:16.560 G but seven past four this news just breaking. South 0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:19.160 Sydney will not be allowed to move back to Moore 0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:23.000 Park and play at ali Unstadium. The Daily Telegraph with 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:26.799 this news this afternoon through Phil Rothfield. They've confirmed now 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:29.520 with the rabbit Os that the Sports Minister Steve Camper 0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.560 has formally rejected the plea from South Sydney to move 0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:35.680 from a course stadium so Sydney Olympic Park back to 0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:38.600 Moor Park, which, let's be honest, that's the home of 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.960 the rabbit Os. Where are South Sydney from. They're from Redfern. 0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:45.640 They play in home bull Sydney Olympic Park. Simply for money, 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:47.680 and it was a deal made many many years ago 0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:50.439 which made a lot of financial sense many years ago. 0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.080 But they've requested to move back to the eastern suburbs 0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.040 or to the southern suburbs effectively, and reason for that 0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:59.719 ali un Stadium is much better obviously than a corp. 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.440 But also under the deal that they had with the 0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.719 New South Wales government and Venues New South Wales, their 0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:08.719 deal was that a core stadium would be renovated and 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:11.000 potentially a roof would be put on a course stadium. 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.560 Well during COVID, as you know, everything changed and gladyspiro 0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:17.520 Agiclly was the premiere and she canceled that plan to 0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:19.239 upgrade a course stadium. And I know many of you 0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:21.920 agree with that, saying we spend too much money on 0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.920 stadiums in Sydney, but we also have a sparkling new 0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:28.719 stadium in Moore Park Alliance, the Sydney Football Stadium that 0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:31.120 we the tax payers spent seven hundred and fifty million 0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.440 dollars and let's be honest, it is brilliant, but it's 0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:38.200 under utilized. So South Sydney wanted to change that. The 0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:40.439 Roosters were not so happy about that. Because of course 0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:42.719 the Roosters play there as they also have the right 0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:46.000 to play there. It's their home ground. Sydney FC plays there, 0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:49.000 the Waratahs play there, but the Roosters didn't want the 0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:51.040 Rabbitos to play there because they hate them. I can 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:54.840 understand that. However, formerly the Rabbito's reached out to the 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.239 New South Wales government. Well Blake Soley's now told the 0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.960 Telegraph Minister Camper has written to us rejecting our request. 0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:03.319 We'll review the letter and his reasons, then consider a 0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.800 response in our further options. We ran committed to discussing 0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:07.960 the issue with the government and venues in New South Wales. 0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:10.480 This is by no means the end of the process. 0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:12.920 Well it shouldn't be the end of the process because 0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:16.440 in the end the government owns both stadiums. Now they 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.439 want the Rabbitos to keep playing at a Corp because 0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:20.600 they don't want the old Olympic Stadium to be a 0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:23.879 white elephant. Look, it won't be. The Bulldogs will play there. 0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:26.560 The Bulldogs getting wonderful crowds there now because they're really 0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:28.680 successful at the moment. Say great Bulldogs can have it 0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:31.319 State of Origin Grand Finals, play them at a Corp. 0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.840 But if you take a stock standard NRL game to 0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:37.520 sit Olympic Park and you get, say, twenty thousand people, 0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:41.200 the atmosphere aren't great. Even with twenty thousand, you get 0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:45.160 twenty thousand at More Park, the atmosphere is spectacular. And 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.839 we the taxpayers, we paid for that stadium. And I'm 0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.040 saying this as somebody. I'm not a Rooster supporter, I'm 0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:52.520 not a rabbit O supporter, but it's ridiculous that we 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.160 paid that much money to build a stadium and we're 0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:57.520 not allowing one of the most popular teams in the 0:36:57.600 --> 0:37:01.279 NRAL to play there. Steve camp has good luck, mister 0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:03.280 camper reconsider. 0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:06.920 Be a part of Sydney Now with Clinton. Maynard called 0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:08.799 one three one eight seven three. 0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.279 Getting feedback on that already, and I'll come to those 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.080 calls and those messages shortly. If you'd like to see 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:15.799 me a text message zero force zero eight seven three 0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:18.960 eight seven three ten past four. Just the latest in 0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:21.880 the Middle East. The Israeli Defense Force has now confirmed 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:25.920 they're detecting a large number of incoming missiles from Iran. 0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:30.239 They've released a statement via their Twitter and this is 0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:33.640 how information is now circulating around the world. A short 0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.919 while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran towards 0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:40.040 the territory of the state of Israel. Defensive systems are 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:43.600 operating to intercept the threat. Upon receiving alert, the public 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.839 is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there. 0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:49.920 So that is a bomb shelter that's in the central 0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:52.640 part of districts in Israel at the moment. Now, I 0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:56.799 mentioned a little earlier that there was some hope that 0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.319 there could be a ceasefire, that Iran had reached out 0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:04.480 via They're allies for the United States to brok a ceasefire, 0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:08.520 and that had actually come from the French President Emmanuel Macron. Well, 0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:13.560 Donald Trump has completely rejected that. Donald Trump has now 0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:16.719 said just minutes before taking off from Calgary, where of 0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:19.480 course he has now left the G seven summit before 0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:22.600 boarding Air Force one, He's posted on his own social 0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:27.719 media network, publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron of France mistakenly 0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:30.080 said I left the G seven summit in Canada to 0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.080 go back to DC and to work on a ceasefire 0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:38.080 between Israel and Iran. Mister Trump says wrong. He has 0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:40.640 no idea why I'm now on my way back to Washington. 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:43.239 But it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. 0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:47.560 Much bigger than that, right, whether purposely or not, Emmanuel 0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:51.200 always gets it wrong. Stay tuned. Okay, So that Donald 0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.719 says no ceasefire, that's not happening, but he's working on 0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:58.040 something much bigger. Now. What he won't be doing is 0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:00.799 meeting with our prime minister. He will not be holding 0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:03.600 a meeting with Anthony Alban easy on the sidelines of 0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:05.480 the G seven because he is leaving. He's going back 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:07.840 to Washington, and that's not great for Albow because he 0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.279 wanted to raise the future of Orcus. But as you've 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.320 followed throughout the day, there is some hope because keirths 0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:16.880 Starmer and the UK is the third party involved with Orcus, 0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:20.120 has now set alongside mister Trump that they're proceeding with 0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:20.839 the deal. 0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:22.200 Yep, we're proceeding with that. 0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:24.040 It's a really important deal to both of this. 0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:26.040 I think the person that was doing a review, we 0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:28.200 did the review when we came into governments, and that 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:29.239 makes good sense to me. 0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:32.800 But it's a really important we're very long time partners 0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:35.960 and allies and friends, and we've become friends in a 0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:36.879 short period of time. 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.200 Albow commented on that before that he knew that the 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:40.400 US president was leaving. 0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:43.560 I have seen the comments that were made, and of 0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:47.080 course it is in Australia, the United States and the 0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:51.399 United Kingdom's interests that orcas not just proceed in terms 0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:54.799 of Pillar one, but Pillar two as well. There are 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:58.560 great advantages that we have the sum of one past 0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:02.440 one past one, sometimes more than three, and it certainly 0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:03.840 does that in this case. 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.399 Just remember the deal for UCUST the United States means 0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:11.160 billions of dollars for their defense industries with the submarine order. 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.960 So I think in some form UCUST will still go ahead. 0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:18.239 We'll have a close look at Sydney's gang violence in 0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:20.120 just a moment. I'm getting a lot of feedback already 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.360 by the decision from the new South Wales state government 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:25.200 to deny the South Sidney Rabbit Oz the right to 0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.759 move to Alliott Stadium. I think it is ridiculous. 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:31.759 Reg what do you think, Well, look, meings needs to 0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:34.479 get involved like campus are buffoon, But let's just park 0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:38.320 that to one side. You've got South which is probably 0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:41.759 one of the largest club in the country wanting to 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:48.080 play at what is geographically their home ground before the 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:51.640 Roosters go or crazy. From nineteen o eight to nineteen 0:40:51.640 --> 0:40:56.160 forty South played at the Showground and then obviously at 0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:59.080 Redford and then from eighty eight nine Woods they played 0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:04.120 at the SFA. So it's absolutely ridiculous that we've got 0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:06.840 taxpayer funded stadium that not being used by one of 0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:08.919 the biggest compent in and reach. 0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:12.200 The thing is they're both taxpayer funded stadiums, so it's 0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.319 not like the new South Wales government is going to 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:16.719 be out of dollars. Yes, it might not look as 0:41:16.800 --> 0:41:18.920 good to have a course s dirty in the Olympic 0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:21.680 Stadium with fewer big events, but if you've got a 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.600 SOUS game, say they're playing my mob Cronulla, right, you're 0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.239 probably attrack fifteen thousand to that. It's not a good 0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:30.319 look to have fifteen thousand playing at Sydne Olympic Park. 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:32.879 But they play at moor Park, they'll get twenty five 0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:35.239 thousand there. Ron says on the text line, you're one 0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:37.560 hundred percent correct. South Sydney should play all their home 0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:40.880 matches at more parks. Alliance. James says, Oh, the problem 0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:43.480 with Alliance is the drainage one hundred percent and it 0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:46.520 was shown up in several matches this year, including Women's 0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:48.720 State of Origin. They need to do something about the drainage, 0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:51.520 but it's still the best stadium in Sydney. It's worth 0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:54.839 seven hundred and fifty eight hundred million dollars. That's our 0:41:54.960 --> 0:41:57.760 money that we've spent on that ground and it should 0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:01.919 be used properly. Quarter past four CCT vision has now 0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:06.680 been released of the horrors in Auburn yesterday. Security vision 0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:10.520 of what happened in that kebab shop is just truly chilling. 0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:13.880 When you see this on TV tonight, they'll show it 0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:16.959 on nine News. You will see this is in South 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:21.359 Paray just after one o'clock. You'll see two men. They're 0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:25.600 fully dressed in black. Each man has a black balakaba 0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:29.759 pulled over his head. They're running into the shop and 0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.680 the CCT vision is slowed down so you'll be able 0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:34.799 to clearly see this. You can't determine who the men are, 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:37.600 mind you, because they're completely covered. But there are these 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:40.280 two guys here. It's like watching something out of a movie. 0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:45.120 They both have their pistols drawn and as they're running 0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:48.960 past the counter, there's a bloke behind the counter and 0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:52.680 he's there shaving the kebab meat and he turns around 0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:55.239 because he can hear the ruckus and you could just 0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:57.600 imagine the thought going through that man's head when he 0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:01.279 sees these two men dressed in black who were pointing pistols. 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:04.080 So he dives down to get out of the way. 0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:06.680 The men continue on to the back of the shop, 0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:10.200 the kebab shop in South Parade, and you then see 0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:12.440 there's like a stool or in a chair that's thrown 0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:15.040 at them. Then a table goes flying, and then the 0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:18.640 vision cuts out and that's where it appears that these 0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:23.400 government have opened fire. Now they shot eight times, eight times, 0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.280 and as we've been reporting over the past twenty four hours, 0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.879 they shot two men and a woman. Forty seven year 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:33.480 old woman was one of the workers in the kebab shop. Now, 0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:35.799 she has nothing to do The police believes she has 0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:38.840 nothing to do with Sydney's underworld whatsoever. But she's in 0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:41.759 hospital right at the moment with two bullet wounds to 0:43:41.840 --> 0:43:45.879 her stomach. Hopefully she's going to be okay. But she's 0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:48.160 one of these poor victims who's been caught in the crossfire. 0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:50.759 And she's not alone as someone who's been caught in 0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.279 the crossfire of this gang violence. Just a couple of 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:57.240 weeks ago, there was that young bloke plumber. He's arrived 0:43:57.239 --> 0:44:00.440 home in Condal Park late at night, works for his 0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:03.240 dad as a plumber. He reverses his yued up the driveway, 0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:06.719 gets out of the ute, and then two gunments just 0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:08.759 to appear out of the dark and shoot him. And there 0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:10.600 were people and you could hear it apparently on some 0:44:10.640 --> 0:44:13.880 of the c he say no, no, no, Well, the 0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:17.480 police are confirmed that victim was not known to them, 0:44:17.520 --> 0:44:20.120 not involved in the criminal world whatsoever. They believe the 0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:24.400 assassins got the wrong person. So this is what's unfolding 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:26.600 on our streets the moment. We are seeing innocent people 0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:30.960 caught up in this horror. Now we've spoken about this 0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:32.879 in the first hour. I spoke to Jason Box, who's 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:35.440 heading up the Task Force task FORRSE Falcon that's investigating 0:44:35.480 --> 0:44:37.440 all this. And a big problem is the fact that 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:39.799 one of the men who was shot yesterday, who's in 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:42.640 hospital at the moment with wounds to his shoulder and 0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:46.960 his arm, this is the fourth attempt on his life 0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:49.520 and he was before the courts after the second attempt 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:51.960 on his life charged with the weapons offense because when 0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:54.760 police investigated that they allegedly found a gun in his possession, 0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:58.200 and of course the magistrate allowed him bail despite the 0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:00.880 fact the police said he was the EPI center of 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.960 this gang violence. I want to get a bit of 0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:06.200 a better understanding of how this is all working, particularly 0:45:06.200 --> 0:45:09.160 this suggestion which Jason Box says he doesn't believe this 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:12.440 is the case, but the suggestion of a near tasker 0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:15.400 style website being used to recruit people. What Jason Box 0:45:15.400 --> 0:45:17.680 did tell me is the young people are being recruited 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:20.400 to carry out the dirty work. Glenn Gorick is a 0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:23.359 retired police sergeant. He's been at the cold face of 0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:25.520 this gang war in the past and joins me, thank 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:26.000 you for your time. 0:45:26.040 --> 0:45:28.960 Glenn, Yeah, good afternoon, Clinn, thanks for having me on. 0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:31.960 I want to gather your insight in this because unfortunately, 0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:34.080 what we're seeing on Sydney streets at the moment isn't new. 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:37.600 We have seen a war, for instance, between the Alamedeans, 0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:40.279 and it's alleged that this twenty six year old man 0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:43.600 was connected to the Alamedeens and previously the Hamsies. This 0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:47.120 is all unfolded on the streets for years. Is this 0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:49.680 still all over a turf war over drugs? 0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:53.920 You would think so, Quentin to look, the family feuds 0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:56.279 across the southwest of Sydney had been going on. There 0:45:56.280 --> 0:45:59.040 was many families. I won't name them, but there were 0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:01.799 four prominent cheams it used to fight each other. There 0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:06.120 was decades of these shootings, but the demographics changing a 0:46:06.160 --> 0:46:08.319 little now. You know, it's very brazen in the middle 0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:10.400 of the day. You recall the one at Surrey Hill's 0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:14.160 last year. They shot at seven pm at night on 0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:17.279 a Friday and bullets went everywhere into shops and so on. 0:46:17.640 --> 0:46:20.799 It's all changing rapidly made And look the other thing 0:46:20.800 --> 0:46:22.520 that I noticed when I drill down on this one. 0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:25.480 Obviously we have the problem with the bail, but the 0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:28.319 cars that they used they normally torch within minutes of 0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:32.719 the shooting. This one, the alleged audi wasn't for hours later. 0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:35.040 So they must be going underground now. They must be 0:46:35.040 --> 0:46:37.680 trying a different tactic, and they're going underground, parking the 0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:40.319 car somewhere and then when everything quiets down, go and 0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:40.799 burn it. 0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:41.799 Well. 0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.960 Interestingly, Glenn Jason Box I spoke to him in the 0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:46.640 first hour of the PROGM. He's heading up the task 0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:49.920 forles task Wills Falcon and he revealed this afternoon that 0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:51.960 the twenty six year old man who was shot yesterday 0:46:52.040 --> 0:46:54.160 we thought this was the third attempt on his life. Well, 0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:56.120 in fact it's the fourth. There was another at rose 0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:59.759 Hill last Friday afternoon and when police were called, these 0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:01.560 peace people who were the alleged victims were in a 0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:05.440 white ut That white used on Friday afternoon. We believe 0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:07.160 is one of the vehicles that's been found a light 0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:09.160 now in the past twelve hours, twenty four hours. 0:47:10.360 --> 0:47:12.480 Yeah, this is the thing. So that you it's been 0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:16.359 parked somewhere, it's been probably used. It's really time for 0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:17.960 New South Walest please to ramp. 0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:18.960 Up public assistance. 0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:22.960 Those cars are parked somewhere, they're parking garages, they're parked 0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:26.080 in properties. They stand out because they're not owned by 0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:28.879 the normal people that live in these buildings. So look, 0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.400 i'd call out if any member of the public sees 0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:35.960 something unusual in their Southwestern unit like or their factories, 0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.799 ring it in anonymously, just ring it in and. 0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:39.960 Let the cops come and check it. 0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:41.800 What about that might stop this stuff? 0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:44.040 What about the way these gangs are now operating how 0:47:44.080 --> 0:47:46.600 they're recruiting people to carry out what i'd term their 0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:49.440 dirty work. I asked Command to box this as well 0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:52.520 about the suggestion there's an air Task style, not air 0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:54.600 Task for itself, but a style website, and he says, look, 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:56.520 there's no doubt while it might but not be air 0:47:56.600 --> 0:47:59.920 Task as such, the gangs are recruiting young people in 0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.720 particular to carry out these crimes. 0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:03.960 Yeah, so what that is? 0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:08.000 The AFP cracked one of these covert apps. It's like 0:48:08.040 --> 0:48:10.640 a WhatsApp then the air task if you want to 0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:11.680 use for the term. 0:48:11.760 --> 0:48:12.920 But it's a. 0:48:13.080 --> 0:48:18.040 Very covert encrypted system that only allows a significant number 0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:20.120 of members of these groups to get access to it, 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.560 and then they all talk and discuss what they're going 0:48:22.600 --> 0:48:25.839 to do, and then they put up advertisements for these 0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:26.640 types of jobs. 0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:28.319 This is all alleged now. 0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:31.000 The AFP cracked this in twenty twenty three, so they've 0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:33.359 obviously gone to another version of it now and I'm 0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:36.000 sure the AFPN New South Wales Police Cybercrime will be 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:38.120 all over it because it leaves a trial. But the 0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:40.160 thin with it is the big thing with it is 0:48:40.200 --> 0:48:42.640 clinton that they leave a file with it and now 0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:46.080 they're paying these for these jobs in cryptocurrency as well. 0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:48.720 I know that for a fact. So there's this whole 0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:53.000 changing demographic all the time, constantly these criminal games. If 0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:56.280 they actually use these skills in the decent enterprise and business, 0:48:56.320 --> 0:48:58.520 they'd be millionaires, and they put it all into crime. 0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:00.680 And it just amazes me that they they do. 0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:02.640 This, Glenn. I don't to be too flippid about it, 0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:04.759 but I've got a couple of messages which do echo 0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:07.840 my thoughts. Here on the text line, Michael says, Look, 0:49:08.520 --> 0:49:11.960 I must be hopeless, but these d heads, they mustn't 0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:14.240 be very good at their jobs if you have four 0:49:14.280 --> 0:49:16.640 attempts on their life and they still don't get it done. 0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:19.759 I've got about three messages echoing the same thing. The 0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:23.640 people they're recruiting, let's be blunt, not very good assassins 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:24.600 because they keep missing. 0:49:25.320 --> 0:49:25.520 Right. 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:28.360 Well, you brought up the CCTV footage just just been released. 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:30.239 I've watched it while I've been mating to come on 0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:34.840 with you, and it's exactly a perfect example of how 0:49:35.160 --> 0:49:39.400 poorly trained, poorly executed these jobs are. You watch the 0:49:40.120 --> 0:49:42.320 alleged shooter come in and he's looking at the ground. 0:49:42.320 --> 0:49:44.640 When he's shooting the pistol, he's looking at the ground 0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:46.839 with his head down, so he doesn't even see where 0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:49.960 he's shooting, so hence the bullets spray everywhere. Right, this 0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:52.600 is why they shoot people in the legs and they 0:49:52.640 --> 0:49:54.920 miss and they miss their targets. And four attempts on 0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:58.560 alleged attempts on Sammazari. Well, you know, they're not doing 0:49:58.560 --> 0:49:59.480 a very good job done. 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:01.960 And in the end, the problem is those bullets go 0:50:02.040 --> 0:50:05.280 astray and they hit innocent people. Glenn, I appreciate your insight. 0:50:05.320 --> 0:50:06.280 Thank you great. 0:50:06.280 --> 0:50:07.759 Thanks Clinton, have a great day. Go to the. 0:50:07.680 --> 0:50:12.080 Sharkis retired police sergeant Glenn Gorrick. It is chilling. Have 0:50:12.120 --> 0:50:14.240 a look at this CCT vision. You'll see it online. 0:50:14.239 --> 0:50:16.960 It'll be on nine years tonight. It's chilling stuff. The 0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:20.000 issue here is firstly, the bloke who was the alleged 0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:22.280 target should have been in jail because it's a failure 0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:25.560 of our justice system. But secondly, innocent people like the 0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:28.120 forty seven year old lady who's then been shot, they 0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:30.560 end up being the real victims. Twenty three past four, 0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:33.000 I'll talk to MG in the second part of the 0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:35.560 show about the future of Valley Unstadium in a course 0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:37.879 statum whether the Rabbit O's should be allowed to play there, 0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:40.319 Joe says in the text line let the rabbit os go. 0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:43.960 The Roosters do not own it, certainly donate it. Of 0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:46.239 this one though, Adam says, actually, I'm happy for my 0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:48.640 bunnies to keep playing sydn Olympic Park at Court because 0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:50.440 I live in the mountains and the stadium is much close, 0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:53.000 and the Rabbit O's do have a big supporter base 0:50:53.040 --> 0:50:56.480 in the Western suburbs. This question from Peter, why can't 0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.520 NFL games we play at the SCG. Well they can be, 0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:01.640 and they they were when Alliance was under construction. But 0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:04.799 why play at Alliance when next door you have a 0:51:04.840 --> 0:51:09.560 brilliant football stadium. Now some people do argue this. Ron 0:51:09.600 --> 0:51:12.640 says Homebush should be rebuilt as a large rectangular venue 0:51:12.680 --> 0:51:15.399 similar to both sun Corp and London's Twicken them. It'd 0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:17.800 then be the ideal ground for rugby league, ruby union soccer. 0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:20.960 Well that was part of the renovation plan, but effectively 0:51:21.000 --> 0:51:23.840 because of COVID, the state government ran out of money 0:51:24.160 --> 0:51:26.640 and they had to make a choice. Do they rebuild 0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:30.480 the SFS Alliance or do they make changes to stadium 0:51:30.480 --> 0:51:32.680 Australia and they decided that the changes to our state 0:51:32.719 --> 0:51:34.680 of Australia are going to be too expensive. We've been 0:51:34.680 --> 0:51:36.400 talking a little bit about work from a home and 0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.200 this proposal that's been launched by the Australian Industry Group 0:51:39.239 --> 0:51:41.600 whereby you could trade some of your benefits in order 0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:43.719 for the right to work from home, for instance, a 0:51:43.840 --> 0:51:46.719 lunch hour on the text line. Working from home for 0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:49.920 going breaks makes no sense because I work just as 0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:51.840 hard when I work from home as I do in 0:51:51.840 --> 0:51:54.360 the office. In fact, I have less distractions and I 0:51:54.400 --> 0:51:57.680 get more work done. Tab Corp has today been fined 0:51:57.800 --> 0:52:02.440 four million dollars for spamming customers with thousands of marketing messages. 0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:06.040 Australia's largest bedding company, TAB Corp, has copped the fine 0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:09.359 from the Australian Communications and Media Authority. They found the 0:52:09.400 --> 0:52:12.800 tab Corps sent more than five seven hundred unlawful marketing 0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:17.200 messages to customers in its VIP program. Three thousand SMS 0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:19.880 and what's up messages were sent between the first of 0:52:19.920 --> 0:52:22.719 February and the first of May of last year. And 0:52:22.760 --> 0:52:24.759 what they didn't do and you'll often see this if 0:52:24.760 --> 0:52:28.600 you'll send messages from any business, you'll see an unsubscribed 0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.480 line at the bottom of the message. These particular messages 0:52:31.480 --> 0:52:34.319 from tab Corp did not have that unsubscribed line. Just 0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:36.560 before our news headlines, just want to cross to Christine, 0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:39.400 who's got some dramas to report in Picton on the roads. 0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:40.719 What can you see, Christine? 0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:46.200 Driver cost a accident ten minutes ago. It's on Bridge 0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:50.960 Street in between Picton or Red Banks and tell me 0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:54.520 it's a main storoughly where all the cars turn off 0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:57.719 from coming from Pickton from Sydney to come up to 0:52:57.719 --> 0:53:01.239 sell Me Or and the Oaks, and a lady has 0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:06.240 unfortunately rolled her car she was driving up towards Selmy. 0:53:07.360 --> 0:53:10.840 I actually nearly ran into her on that bend, but 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:15.560 luckily for work trucks stopped and helped her get out. 0:53:15.760 --> 0:53:19.560 She was standing and the police and the ambulance and 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:24.520 everything are already.

Only one way traffic can go there at 0:53:33.400 --> 0:53:33.760 the moment. 0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:35.480 I know some of those roads can be quite dangerous 0:53:35.480 --> 0:53:37.279 in that region. I've driven down there and waited some 0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:40.000 of my parents down South. So she's okay, though she 0:53:40.040 --> 0:53:41.000 looks like she's all right. 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:43.640 Look she was the driver. She looked like but very 0:53:43.719 --> 0:53:48.040 very very shaken. I'd say, a lady in her maybe 0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:51.399 late thirties, early tours in a nice blue car. 0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:53.759 Okay. Good at the ambulance services on the scene that 0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:55.239 they can check her out. Thanks for letting us know 0:53:55.239 --> 0:53:56.759 about that. If you see something in the roads that 0:53:56.800 --> 0:53:58.480 we need to know about, that's the word on the street. 0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:00.960 Temper a great night's sleep, night after night.

The Prime Minister had been hoping to hold 0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:36.280 talks with Donald Trump on the sidelines of the summit. 0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:40.080 New South Wales Health has issued a warning about poisonous 0:54:40.160 --> 0:54:43.640 death cap mushrooms growing in Sydney and the Southern Highlands. 0:54:43.960 --> 0:54:47.640 People are urged not to forage or eat wild mushrooms, 0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:51.560 and evidence of human occupation dating back to the Ice 0:54:51.600 --> 0:54:53.960 Age has been found at the site of a cave 0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:59.480 near Lithgow.

Ambulance paramedics are on soon understand 0:55:56.520 --> 0:55:59.440 New South Wales Ambulance helicopter is also on route or 0:55:59.480 --> 0:56:02.319 if not at already there. But yeah, some pretty bad 0:56:02.360 --> 0:56:05.040 news coming out of that fire in gerber A Place. 0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:10.279 Okay, Gerbra Place. So that's just a residential street, Yeah, 0:56:10.320 --> 0:56:10.799 I think it's a. 0:56:10.800 --> 0:56:13.480 Mixture of units and some commercial properties out there. But 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:15.920 the fire has been extinguished, but we do have a 0:56:16.000 --> 0:56:18.200 number of people that have suffered burns. 0:56:18.400 --> 0:56:19.200 I believe three. 0:56:19.400 --> 0:56:22.600 One of those is particularly bad, with another two not 0:56:22.719 --> 0:56:26.239 as bad. But look, burns are painful, and actually they 0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:28.719 can be that bad that they're not painful, but it 0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:31.560 sounds like someone is bad. But the ambulance paramedics are 0:56:31.560 --> 0:56:34.359 on sooon and providing that high care that they can 0:56:34.440 --> 0:56:35.440 on the side of the road there. 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.320 Okay, Adam, thanks to that information for and Rescue. Superintendent 0:56:38.360 --> 0:56:42.200 Adam Dubrey says, Gerbra Place in Kellyville, it's a street 0:56:42.200 --> 0:56:44.560 where there are some units and some industrial complexes there 0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:47.080 as well. But it looks like three people have suffered burns. 0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:49.120 We will talk to the paramedics and find out about 0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:50.040 their conditions. 0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:53.560 Do you want to know what's happening in Sydney Stay 0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:57.799 tuned to Sydney Out with Quinton later on to gb. 0:56:57.880 --> 0:57:00.520 One of the most controversial issues that affects residents of 0:57:00.680 --> 0:57:03.600 the South Coast and particularly around Wollongong a little further 0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.640 south around the Illawarra, has been a proposal to build 0:57:06.920 --> 0:57:10.040 offshore wind farms. It was an issue at the federal election. 0:57:10.640 --> 0:57:13.640 There was going to be a Senate inquiry into all 0:57:13.680 --> 0:57:17.040 of this. Well, very quietly, the committee that was to 0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:20.520 lead the inquiry has scrapped that plan. That's despite more 0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:24.320 than thirty four thousand submissions being laudged. Alex O'Brian is 0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:28.720 from Responsible Future Illawarra and joins the Hello Alex Hike Clinton. 0:57:29.360 --> 0:57:32.960 This has been kept basically secret over the past couple 0:57:32.960 --> 0:57:34.520 of days. What do you know about it? 0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:36.160 It has so. 0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:40.520 This was first initiated in July last year and there 0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:45.200 were multiple delays to actually holding this inquiry. We were 0:57:45.240 --> 0:57:47.720 worried it was going to be buried before the election. 0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:53.040 And on just the long weekend, on Friday afternoon a 0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:56.920 report came out with no large attention, no media attention, 0:57:57.080 --> 0:58:00.439 and basically they said we're not going to hold any 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:05.120 public inquiries and they made a few comments, but it's 0:58:05.280 --> 0:58:08.840 just devastating to all those people around the country. 0:58:09.280 --> 0:58:11.480 That's the strategy when you want to release bad yews. 0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:14.120 You either do it on Melbourne Cup Day, seriously, you 0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:16.080 do it, that's what they do, that's what politicians do, 0:58:16.240 --> 0:58:17.920 or you do it before a long wee can the 0:58:18.000 --> 0:58:20.160 fact that there won't be an inquiry and I think 0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:22.400 we actually have too many inquiries in general though, Alex, 0:58:22.440 --> 0:58:23.760 but why is it a bad thing? 0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:28.840 Well, Quentin, you know, there was no problem with Labor 0:58:28.880 --> 0:58:32.760 initiating an inquiry into nuclear energy, which took a matter 0:58:32.800 --> 0:58:35.960 of two months and had several public inquiries around the country. 0:58:36.080 --> 0:58:39.600 But I'm sure windows of Obviously, the consultation process was 0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:43.720 quite controversial. Many people in all these communities, especially the Laura, 0:58:43.880 --> 0:58:46.360 did not think the consultation was genuine, which is a 0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:51.200 critical component for the minister to determine what a zone 0:58:51.240 --> 0:58:53.800 would look like if a zone would go ahead. Now 0:58:54.040 --> 0:58:57.960 we have had the community in suthern Shire that was 0:58:58.040 --> 0:59:01.280 not consulted, but the zone has been push closer towards them. 0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:04.320 We have developers who talked. 0:59:04.080 --> 0:59:08.000 About what the zone would look like before consultation began, 0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:12.080 and eerily the zone looks very similar to what those. 0:59:11.920 --> 0:59:13.840 Developers said it would look like. 0:59:14.040 --> 0:59:16.760 And so we have concerns that the Minister has not 0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:22.000 properly taken on board the concerns of the community when 0:59:22.120 --> 0:59:24.600 determining what that zone would. 0:59:24.360 --> 0:59:27.520 Look like when he declared it in June last year. 0:59:27.640 --> 0:59:30.320 And you're right to raise these concerns, and this inquiry 0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:31.920 should have happened. The problem's now going to be the 0:59:31.960 --> 0:59:34.760 federal governments swept back into power and they will have 0:59:34.880 --> 0:59:36.640 the support of the Greens in the Upper House, which 0:59:36.720 --> 0:59:39.520 means they're one step close. So Alex, keep up the fight. 0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:41.040 Thanks Clinton. 0:59:41.280 --> 0:59:45.000 Alex O'Brien from Responsible Future, Laura, So, how sneaky you 0:59:45.160 --> 0:59:47.280 decide you announced long ago that you're going to have 0:59:47.280 --> 0:59:50.000 an inquiry and then you cancel it just before the 0:59:50.040 --> 0:59:53.520 long wee can when nobody is watching. When you see 0:59:53.560 --> 0:59:55.480 something around Sidney, let me know about it. One three, 0:59:55.520 --> 1:00:00.000 one eight seven three. Now Leo has seen something quite curious. 1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:03.520 So Leo, where are you Matey Clinton. 1:00:03.680 --> 1:00:08.520 On King George's Road above Beverly Hill Station, someone laying 1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:13.000 on the road in lane one southbound are being treated 1:00:13.080 --> 1:00:14.680 by three ambulance crews. 1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:18.000 Okay, maybe that person's had some sort of accident while 1:00:18.040 --> 1:00:20.080 crossing the road there. And I know that that part 1:00:20.120 --> 1:00:22.280 of King George's Road well, and it's a horror at 1:00:22.320 --> 1:00:24.080 this time of the afternoon, so the traffic must be 1:00:24.120 --> 1:00:25.160 a nightmare. 1:00:25.640 --> 1:00:26.040 And it is. 1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:29.120 I could certainly see it's all the way back past 1:00:29.280 --> 1:00:32.040 more Field Road, but I'm not sure how much further 1:00:32.120 --> 1:00:33.360 back path that it actually is. 1:00:33.600 --> 1:00:35.280 Okay, thank you for letting me know about that. So 1:00:35.560 --> 1:00:39.200 that's King George's Road. Somebody's been treated by paramedics there. 1:00:40.240 --> 1:00:43.040 It's southbound, so southbound's where that the thickest traffic, the 1:00:43.080 --> 1:00:45.520 heaviest traffic is on King George's Road Beverly Hills. Just 1:00:45.600 --> 1:00:47.600 knew near the Beverly Hills train station. That's going to 1:00:47.640 --> 1:00:51.160 send the traffic right back. So somebody's being treated on 1:00:51.240 --> 1:00:53.440 the road there by the paramedics. Please take care if 1:00:53.440 --> 1:00:58.760 you're driving through there on Sydney now you tance handle 1:00:58.840 --> 1:01:04.400 the true first street sto well. Time for our political 1:01:04.480 --> 1:01:07.680 straight shooters segment for a Tuesday Afternoon. We're joined by 1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:12.160 Susan Telberman, the Labor MP F mcquarie, Hello, Susan, good afternoon, 1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:14.520 and the outgoing Liberal Senate to Holy Hughes. 1:01:14.560 --> 1:01:16.280 Hello, Holy Hey Clinton. 1:01:16.640 --> 1:01:18.480 Well, all the dramas actually within the Liberal Party at 1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:20.760 state level, so we might leave you out of that. 1:01:20.840 --> 1:01:23.919 Holy this afternoon, Nick Grind has been appororted. Nick Grind 1:01:23.920 --> 1:01:25.560 has been apported to try and sort out the mess 1:01:26.040 --> 1:01:28.680 that is your party. Let's talk about what's happening overseas. 1:01:28.920 --> 1:01:34.400 Anthony Albernezi unfortunately has had his meeting with Donald Trump canceled. Susan, 1:01:34.560 --> 1:01:35.840 is the government disappointed about this? 1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:36.680 Oh? 1:01:36.800 --> 1:01:40.760 I think there's absolutely disappointment. That everyone understands that, you know, 1:01:40.840 --> 1:01:43.520 there's something pretty die happening in the Middle East and 1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:48.080 that no doubt takes precedence. I thought what was interesting 1:01:48.360 --> 1:01:50.720 was that one of the issues we know the Prime 1:01:50.760 --> 1:01:54.680 Minister wanted to discuss with the President was aucus and 1:01:55.080 --> 1:01:58.520 the UK Prime Minister got in first on that, and 1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:03.400 so there's been some very reassuring comments around that, with 1:02:03.680 --> 1:02:09.120 the President not contradicting the Prime Minister of England Britain 1:02:09.400 --> 1:02:12.680 about the commitment to orcus. So I think even though 1:02:12.760 --> 1:02:16.280 there'll be disappointment in a delay now to a face 1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:21.720 to face meeting, there's still been some very positive signs 1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:23.760 and signal scent in this visit. 1:02:24.000 --> 1:02:26.400 Holly. Could have the PM done more and we understand 1:02:26.440 --> 1:02:29.600 why Donald Trump's leaving Canada, that's understandable, but could have 1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:31.440 he done more to secure a meeting earlier? 1:02:32.160 --> 1:02:32.240 Oh? 1:02:32.360 --> 1:02:35.960 Absolutely, I mean, the President's been there for seven months. 1:02:36.920 --> 1:02:39.920 There should have been much earlier attempts to secure a 1:02:40.000 --> 1:02:43.160 face to face It's a critical ally of ours. But 1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:45.080 I think what's interesting and what a lot of people 1:02:45.080 --> 1:02:49.600 are missing here is when Boris Johnson held the g's 1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:52.240 host of the G seven, he had the sort of 1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:55.880 secondary group of leaders in the same area, in the 1:02:56.000 --> 1:02:59.080 same spot and attend the dinner that Donald Trump is 1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:02.160 going to attend to the for he leaves. What's interesting 1:03:02.240 --> 1:03:04.120 the way that Prime Minister Canti has done it over 1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:08.120 in Canada has kept the secondary leaders a couple of 1:03:08.200 --> 1:03:12.360 hours away and not attending the same dinner. So two 1:03:12.560 --> 1:03:16.920 very separate groups of leaders that are in Canada tonight 1:03:17.080 --> 1:03:21.200 in very different places. And you know, people read into 1:03:21.280 --> 1:03:24.320 that what they like. But it's interesting that Boris certainly 1:03:24.360 --> 1:03:27.880 had Scott Morrison and everyone there all together and part 1:03:27.920 --> 1:03:33.200 of the big family photo that the Canadian Prime minister 1:03:33.560 --> 1:03:34.680 has decided not to do. 1:03:34.960 --> 1:03:37.880 During the election campaign. Susan Albo said during think it 1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:39.880 was during the Channel nine debate that he didn't think 1:03:39.920 --> 1:03:41.720 that Donald actually had a phone, So it wasn't as 1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:45.360 simple as picking up the phone in reality, even when 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:47.480 you're at the level that Anthony Albertez is that is 1:03:47.560 --> 1:03:50.280 it tricky to organize time with a world leader. 1:03:51.280 --> 1:03:54.480 Well, I think you've got the diplomacy is not a 1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:58.840 blunt instrument. You know, it's done protocols, there's ways you 1:03:58.920 --> 1:04:04.200 do things. But I also think that having deep conversations 1:04:04.240 --> 1:04:07.400 in the middle of an election campaign also has a 1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:11.400 level of concern to me in terms of respect for 1:04:11.480 --> 1:04:14.720 the election process. So we are able to have much 1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:18.440 better discussions now now that there's been an election, and 1:04:18.560 --> 1:04:21.440 I think this is the appropriate time, a few weeks 1:04:21.480 --> 1:04:26.680 after an election to have really you know, nailed down 1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:27.160 that meeting. 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:28.560 Now that's the problem is we don't know when that 1:04:28.600 --> 1:04:31.960 met he's going to be now now that mister Trump's left, they've. 1:04:31.800 --> 1:04:35.720 Had three shone conversations, you know, that's honestly, as a 1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:38.760 radio journal you know how powerful voice is. It's not 1:04:38.920 --> 1:04:41.160 just about being able to eyeball somebody. 1:04:41.120 --> 1:04:43.760 But everyone just sends text messages these days, it's all messages. 1:04:43.840 --> 1:04:45.480 Oh that's the younger generation. 1:04:45.680 --> 1:04:48.800 Well, Donald loves the social media. He loves his social 1:04:48.840 --> 1:04:52.560 media platform. Jim Charmers. Today the Treasurer has indicated that 1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:55.120 he has concede that the war in the Middle East 1:04:55.200 --> 1:04:57.800 is likely to push up oil prices, that petrol prices 1:04:57.840 --> 1:04:59.920 could go up. I think we've actually benefited from fe 1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:04.040 really low dowser prices of late. Would there be a possibility, Susan, 1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:06.240 if we are now in for a sustained conflict in 1:05:06.240 --> 1:05:09.400 the Middle East, that the Labor Party now could consider 1:05:09.520 --> 1:05:11.960 some sort of excise relief now that all the politics 1:05:12.000 --> 1:05:13.600 is out of the way, that the debate over the 1:05:13.640 --> 1:05:16.720 policy that the collign put to the election, could there 1:05:16.800 --> 1:05:18.000 be some excise change. 1:05:18.680 --> 1:05:22.000 Well, at this stage that's not something that we're looking at, 1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:25.600 but we are mindful that there could be volatility of 1:05:25.680 --> 1:05:29.080 petrol prices, and that's what the Treasurers said today. What 1:05:29.240 --> 1:05:32.560 we do is we don't imagine what's going to happen. 1:05:33.000 --> 1:05:35.120 You know, we use the data that we get. We 1:05:35.840 --> 1:05:39.480 take a considered view on what we see over a 1:05:39.560 --> 1:05:43.040 period of time, and wherever we've seen that there's been 1:05:43.080 --> 1:05:45.920 a need for cost of living relief, we have acted 1:05:46.000 --> 1:05:48.080 on that in the best way that we can to 1:05:48.160 --> 1:05:51.520 support the people who most need it. So I know 1:05:51.680 --> 1:05:55.920 there will all eyes will be watching that. But the 1:05:56.080 --> 1:05:59.640 current fuel prices are expected to jump around a bit. 1:06:00.000 --> 1:06:01.200 Certainly seen a little bit. 1:06:01.120 --> 1:06:02.320 Of that in my area. 1:06:02.680 --> 1:06:04.080 Tell me how it works, though, we're in the party 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:06.520 room within a government when you have a big majority 1:06:06.560 --> 1:06:08.760 of labor now does and lots of back benches. When 1:06:08.800 --> 1:06:10.840 you have the party room meeting in Cambrill, can a 1:06:10.920 --> 1:06:13.040 backbench to just put their hand up and make a 1:06:13.200 --> 1:06:15.840 suggestion on hey, how about we cut policy, how about 1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:17.120 we cut exhaus or do you have to put some 1:06:17.160 --> 1:06:19.440 sort of formal presentation together if you had an idea 1:06:19.520 --> 1:06:19.760 like that. 1:06:20.320 --> 1:06:23.320 No anyone can ask anything in our caucus meetings. We 1:06:23.520 --> 1:06:26.680 also have caucus committee meetings where we have much more 1:06:26.760 --> 1:06:31.160 detailed policy discussions with less time pressures, and they happen 1:06:31.320 --> 1:06:35.560 prior to the caucus meetings, so there's room forul lots 1:06:35.560 --> 1:06:37.520 of debate. But you can also just pick up the 1:06:37.640 --> 1:06:42.000 phone to the relevant minister or ministers and have a conversation. 1:06:42.760 --> 1:06:45.920 So you know, there are plenty of ways for us 1:06:46.000 --> 1:06:49.600 as backbenches to be able to put forward the concerns 1:06:49.640 --> 1:06:51.160 that we're seeing in our communities. 1:06:51.360 --> 1:06:54.600 Well soon, well, holdly that happens all the time, Holly, 1:06:54.680 --> 1:06:56.880 could you maybe pick up the phone and now that 1:06:56.960 --> 1:06:59.520 you're exiting and you're not playing party politics anymore, could 1:06:59.520 --> 1:07:02.240 you pick up the find a Jim Dr Chalmers and say, hey, 1:07:02.280 --> 1:07:03.480 how about you cut the excise? 1:07:04.320 --> 1:07:05.840 Well, I'm not quite so I don't have his phone 1:07:05.880 --> 1:07:06.920 number for a start. 1:07:06.800 --> 1:07:08.920 Well, Susan can give it to you. Susan, you've got 1:07:08.960 --> 1:07:09.400 phone number. 1:07:09.400 --> 1:07:10.920 But I'm sure Jim would love that. 1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:13.000 America starts with a note zero four. 1:07:16.120 --> 1:07:18.840 But look, on a serious night, going with the fuel prices, 1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:21.120 what we have to remember at all times it's not 1:07:21.360 --> 1:07:23.680 just what you're paying at the bowser where it's going 1:07:23.760 --> 1:07:28.840 to hurt. It's also every single grocery you buy, every 1:07:28.960 --> 1:07:29.960 delivery you get. 1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:31.320 Everything is going. 1:07:31.240 --> 1:07:34.240 To go up in costs if fuel goes up, because 1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:37.160 those costs have to be passed on from those companies 1:07:37.280 --> 1:07:40.320 that are getting food from the farm gate to the 1:07:40.400 --> 1:07:43.640 processes to the supermarket, so you know, the flow on 1:07:43.680 --> 1:07:46.520 effects are significant. It's not just what mums and dads 1:07:46.560 --> 1:07:47.760 pay at the bowser every day. 1:07:47.880 --> 1:07:52.120 Absolutely. On a lighter note, confirmed today that our Pacino started, 1:07:52.120 --> 1:07:54.680 The Godfather and many big movies will become the first 1:07:54.760 --> 1:07:57.640 major celebrity to have an official audience with the newly 1:07:57.760 --> 1:08:02.160 elected Pope, Pope Leo fourteenth. Susan, if you could, if 1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:06.640 you could meet any famous person did or alive, including 1:08:06.720 --> 1:08:08.400 a pope, who would you want to meet? 1:08:10.040 --> 1:08:13.520 Well, actually, I've already met the Dalai Lama, and if 1:08:13.560 --> 1:08:16.559 I could have a longer conversation with the Dalai Lama, 1:08:16.720 --> 1:08:21.000 who turns ninety next month, I would love to do that. 1:08:21.080 --> 1:08:23.960 I caught up with Tibetans today at the Tibetan Kitchen 1:08:24.080 --> 1:08:26.920 in Katoomba, and so he was his top of mind 1:08:27.000 --> 1:08:30.320 for me. But you know the welse Ludwick's I Beethoven. 1:08:30.439 --> 1:08:32.280 I would love to meet Beethoven. 1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:33.240 He's definitely passed. 1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:37.200 Yeah, I was a violinist.

Some more details now 1:09:31.040 --> 1:09:34.679 about the fire at Kellyville in Gerbert Street. It's occurred 1:09:34.840 --> 1:09:37.240 in a unit. The fire is now out, that's the 1:09:37.320 --> 1:09:39.600 good news. However, a man in his thirties in a 1:09:39.680 --> 1:09:42.680 serious condition. He is being taken by a helicopter to 1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:46.040 raw Norse Shaw Hospital. Two women are also being treated 1:09:46.040 --> 1:09:48.760 for smoke inflation. They'll be transported to the raw Norse Shore. 1:09:49.320 --> 1:09:51.599 But there are some concerns about the man his thirties. 1:09:51.960 --> 1:09:55.479 Adam Judy believed that there had been burned sustained by 1:09:55.760 --> 1:09:59.120 some of these people involved. So confirmation that three people 1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:02.120 have been injured. Two women being taken to Ronald Shaw 1:10:02.400 --> 1:10:04.880 with smoking elation, the man of his thirties. He is 1:10:04.960 --> 1:10:07.479 being flown to raynal Shaw via helicopter because of the 1:10:07.520 --> 1:10:09.760 state of his condition. It's a unit fire that has 1:10:09.880 --> 1:10:13.160 been extinguished in Kellyville one three, one eight seven three 1:10:13.280 --> 1:10:15.200 is my number. Big drama in the middle of the city. 1:10:15.240 --> 1:10:19.120 This morning the Dailing Center courthouse, which is in Liverpool 1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:21.719 Street had to be closed because there was a burst 1:10:21.760 --> 1:10:25.080 water main in Carsele Ray Street that then affected nosgrid 1:10:25.160 --> 1:10:28.240 substation where we've just had confirmation this is going to 1:10:28.320 --> 1:10:31.519 cause a major problem for our courts. The Downing Center 1:10:31.640 --> 1:10:34.000 court house will not be open for the rest of 1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:34.320 the week. 1:10:34.400 --> 1:10:34.519 Now. 1:10:34.680 --> 1:10:36.439 If you've ever had any illegal dramas and had to 1:10:36.479 --> 1:10:39.519 appear before court at the Downing Center, you'll know the 1:10:39.600 --> 1:10:42.160 Downing Center is over about four or five levels. There's 1:10:42.200 --> 1:10:45.240 a lot of court rooms, so they play a significant 1:10:45.320 --> 1:10:47.640 role in the justice system. Well, it's not going to 1:10:47.680 --> 1:10:50.160 operate for the rest of the week. Cases are going 1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:52.679 to be moved where they can to the Central District Court, 1:10:52.760 --> 1:10:55.680 the King Street Court, Darlinghurston Hospital Road. But they're much 1:10:55.680 --> 1:10:58.040 small facilities that already have their own cases to year. 1:10:58.600 --> 1:11:01.080 So reality is a lot of these cases that would 1:11:01.120 --> 1:11:03.559 have you heard before the Downing Center Court are going 1:11:03.600 --> 1:11:05.920 to be put off down the court list and won't 1:11:05.920 --> 1:11:08.200 be heard for many weeks potentially. That's because of that 1:11:08.280 --> 1:11:10.519 burst waterman. Coming up in the next hour of the program, 1:11:10.880 --> 1:11:12.479 I'm going to give you the chance to win money 1:11:12.800 --> 1:11:15.000 when we play two GB's Winter Wheel. 1:11:17.760 --> 1:11:22.280 This is Sydney now with Clinton on to GB. 1:11:22.720 --> 1:11:25.120 Seven past five one three one eight seven three is 1:11:25.120 --> 1:11:27.519 the number. The latest from the Middle East. Israel has 1:11:27.600 --> 1:11:32.559 now announced they've killed Iran's most senior military commander. They've 1:11:32.680 --> 1:11:35.400 released a statement again on social media. They say, for 1:11:35.479 --> 1:11:38.440 the second time in five days, the IDF has eliminated 1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:42.519 Iran's wartime chief of staff, the regime's top military commander. 1:11:43.200 --> 1:11:45.520 This is a man by the name of Ali Shadmini. 1:11:46.000 --> 1:11:47.840 He has been identified as the man at the top. 1:11:47.960 --> 1:11:49.800 He was only appointed to the role a few days 1:11:49.800 --> 1:11:54.680 ago because Israel killed his predecessor. So the strikes are continuing. 1:11:54.920 --> 1:11:59.120 It is just after ten o'clock now in Tyran, and 1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:02.280 the roads out of the capital are still chockers because 1:12:02.360 --> 1:12:05.479 President Donald Trump US President Trump said it is best 1:12:05.520 --> 1:12:08.160 for local people to leave the capital. Donald Trump has 1:12:08.200 --> 1:12:11.200 also said this afternoon our time, before boarding Air Force 1:12:11.280 --> 1:12:14.240 one to head back to Washington from Calgary, that he 1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:17.640 is not brokering a ceasefire. In fact, he's taken to 1:12:17.760 --> 1:12:22.280 his own social media truth social to attack the French 1:12:22.360 --> 1:12:28.080 President Macron. Now, Emmanuel Macron had indicated that Donald Trump 1:12:28.120 --> 1:12:30.960 would be at the center of some sort of ceasefire deal. Well, 1:12:31.080 --> 1:12:33.920 Donald Trump says that's not the case at all. He says, 1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:38.120 publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron of France mistakingly said I 1:12:38.240 --> 1:12:40.000 left the g Summit in Canada to go back to 1:12:40.120 --> 1:12:42.320 DC to work on a quote ceasefire. 1:12:43.280 --> 1:12:43.559 Wrong. 1:12:43.800 --> 1:12:46.040 He has no idea why I'm on my way back 1:12:46.080 --> 1:12:48.200 to Washington. But it certainly has nothing to do with 1:12:48.240 --> 1:12:51.760 a ceasefire. It is much bigger than that. Whether purposely 1:12:51.840 --> 1:12:55.479 or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned. So 1:12:56.160 --> 1:12:58.960 there is no ceasefire in the Middle East for now. 1:12:59.360 --> 1:13:00.280 If it mattered, thanks to. 1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:01.680 You, you'll hear it here. 1:13:02.040 --> 1:13:04.599 Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard until. 1:13:04.479 --> 1:13:06.960 Said, okay, just an update from Kellyville. The fire that's 1:13:07.000 --> 1:13:10.400 occurred in a unit in gerb Replace. The fire is 1:13:10.479 --> 1:13:12.519 now out. That's the good news. You'll still find if 1:13:12.560 --> 1:13:15.160 you do travel through that area. All the fire brigade 1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:17.200 and the emergency services are still in the scene. There. 1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:20.960 Three people, though, are in serious conditions. A man his 1:13:21.120 --> 1:13:23.519 thirties is being airlifted by a helicopter to rawal Nor 1:13:23.600 --> 1:13:27.080 Show Hospital. We understand he has suffered burns. Two females 1:13:27.160 --> 1:13:29.400 are being treated for smoke inhalation. They'll be taken to 1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:33.559 raw Norsehaw Hospital. It's ten past five now. Premier Chris 1:13:33.680 --> 1:13:36.840 Means today has said that if police ask for him 1:13:37.479 --> 1:13:39.960 to change the laws when it comes to bail, he'll 1:13:40.000 --> 1:13:42.960 give that some consideration. Because, as we've been reporting now 1:13:43.040 --> 1:13:46.080 over the past day, the man who was the target 1:13:46.240 --> 1:13:49.439 of the shooting in the Auburn kebab shop, the m 1:13:49.560 --> 1:13:52.880 Brothers kebab shop in South Parade, the twenty six year 1:13:52.880 --> 1:13:58.720 old who survived, had been released on police bail and 1:13:58.840 --> 1:14:02.920 then Corp bail only a couple of weeks ago when 1:14:02.960 --> 1:14:06.320 he appeared before Paramount, a local court on charges of 1:14:06.400 --> 1:14:10.719 weapons possession. Police argued through their prosecutors before the magistrate 1:14:10.840 --> 1:14:13.360 that he should not be released because quote, he was 1:14:13.439 --> 1:14:18.040 at the EPI center of Sydney's gang law. Nevertheless, the 1:14:18.120 --> 1:14:21.719 court released him. Well, Jason Box, who was the commander 1:14:21.800 --> 1:14:25.000 of the task Force Task Force Falcon that's investigating this 1:14:25.080 --> 1:14:27.320 gang crime, he was on the progmarly earlier and he 1:14:27.439 --> 1:14:30.639 confirmed to me that this particular man has now been 1:14:30.720 --> 1:14:33.640 targeted by would be assassins who aren't very good at 1:14:33.680 --> 1:14:38.479 cheoting people because they miss four times. The latest was 1:14:38.600 --> 1:14:42.040 yesterday in Auburn, but there was another occurrence on Friday 1:14:42.120 --> 1:14:44.560 Friday afternoon in rose Hill and a car that was 1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:46.679 the center of all that has been found burnt out today. 1:14:46.720 --> 1:14:50.880 It's a white ute. Chris Mins has today said that 1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:52.840 he is open to reviewing the laws. 1:14:53.120 --> 1:14:56.280 We have shown a willingness in the past to listen 1:14:56.400 --> 1:14:59.960 to police and enforcement agencies in New South Wales where 1:15:00.160 --> 1:15:02.040 they say new laws are required. 1:15:02.600 --> 1:15:04.799 And obviously I'm concerned about that decision. 1:15:04.960 --> 1:15:09.280 I mean it may based on the last twenty four 1:15:09.360 --> 1:15:11.600 hours I know a lot of people in the community. 1:15:11.240 --> 1:15:14.080 To be very concerned about the decision made by the court. 1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:18.160 The question is whether it was an incorrect or an 1:15:18.320 --> 1:15:20.280 error that was made in retrospect or it should have 1:15:20.360 --> 1:15:21.559 been known at the time. 1:15:21.680 --> 1:15:24.000 I know the Attorney General was looking at the transcript 1:15:24.320 --> 1:15:25.000 as we speak. 1:15:25.160 --> 1:15:27.200 The twenty six year old was given bail based on 1:15:27.240 --> 1:15:30.360 the charges that he was facing, which was a basic 1:15:30.479 --> 1:15:35.000 weapons offense, but police argued against it because they understand 1:15:35.040 --> 1:15:36.760 this bloke is at the center of all this crime 1:15:37.080 --> 1:15:40.360 at the moment, and then the risk is when would 1:15:40.400 --> 1:15:43.880 be assassin's try to kill him and miss they shoot 1:15:43.920 --> 1:15:46.720 other people, like the forty seven year old lady who 1:15:46.800 --> 1:15:49.760 was working at the kebab shop. You'll see the CCTV 1:15:49.960 --> 1:15:52.840 footage on television tonight from that kebab shop, and it's chilling. 1:15:52.880 --> 1:15:55.679 You see these two black, two men covered in black. 1:15:56.600 --> 1:15:59.960 They've got black balakabas on and they run into the show. 1:16:00.520 --> 1:16:02.679 And you see this one guy who's behind the county. 1:16:02.720 --> 1:16:06.160 He's actually shaving the kebab meat on the big rotisserie, 1:16:06.680 --> 1:16:08.559 and he turns around because he can hear the kafuffle, 1:16:08.560 --> 1:16:10.200 and he turns and he sees these two gum and 1:16:10.280 --> 1:16:15.560 he ducks. But when they open fire, they've shot a 1:16:15.640 --> 1:16:18.640 forty seven year old woman twice in the stomach. The 1:16:18.800 --> 1:16:23.160 owner of the kebab shop, Mohammed Ramyan, he has spoken today. 1:16:23.640 --> 1:16:25.599 My suffer my first priority. 1:16:26.000 --> 1:16:28.880 So yeah, I just hope she's doing all right and 1:16:29.880 --> 1:16:32.080 we will support her anything we can. 1:16:32.960 --> 1:16:34.320 Like she doesn't deserve it. 1:16:34.920 --> 1:16:36.559 I'd like to get shot. Well. 1:16:36.600 --> 1:16:39.160 She's in hospital at the moment and she's going to 1:16:39.240 --> 1:16:42.599 pull through. Hopefully she's going to make a good recovery. 1:16:43.080 --> 1:16:46.160 But it shouldn't come to this because the justice system 1:16:46.160 --> 1:16:47.719 shouldn't be letting the public down. 1:16:51.200 --> 1:16:51.360 Three. 1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:54.240 Breaking news this afternoon courtesy the Daily Telegraph that the 1:16:54.320 --> 1:16:57.560 South City rabbit Os have been denied their request to 1:16:57.640 --> 1:17:00.800 play home games in the NRL at Alliance Stadium. The 1:17:00.840 --> 1:17:02.960 Sydney Roosters had argued against it. It was a decision 1:17:03.000 --> 1:17:05.400 for venues New South Wales, effectively the state government. The 1:17:05.439 --> 1:17:08.599 Telegraph reporting that the Sports Minister Steve Camper has written 1:17:08.680 --> 1:17:11.000 to Blake solely to say, ah, not going to happen. 1:17:11.400 --> 1:17:13.880 It's ridiculous. Of course South Sydney should be playing at 1:17:13.880 --> 1:17:16.519 the Sydney Football Stadium. I've had so much feedback on 1:17:16.600 --> 1:17:19.040 this issue throughout the afternoon and we'll talk to MG 1:17:19.240 --> 1:17:21.080 about it after five point thirty. And if you're a 1:17:21.160 --> 1:17:22.920 South supporter, let me know what you think about it. 1:17:23.160 --> 1:17:25.360 I've had a lot of South supporters say this is ridiculous. 1:17:25.520 --> 1:17:27.400 I've had a couple of supporters say no, we like 1:17:27.479 --> 1:17:29.240 playing at a course stadium because we live in the 1:17:29.280 --> 1:17:32.599 western suburbs. Rob says, look as long as they stay 1:17:32.640 --> 1:17:36.320 away from Paramatta Stadium. Because it seems that every male 1:17:36.400 --> 1:17:39.000 and female sporting team is now playing at Paramata Stadium. 1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:40.800 Rob says it is the home of the Yels. The 1:17:40.840 --> 1:17:43.400 rest are just tenants and should remember that. I don't 1:17:43.439 --> 1:17:46.040 care where souths play as long as it's not Paramatta Stadium. 1:17:46.320 --> 1:17:49.679 They should play at a core stadium. And the Sports 1:17:49.760 --> 1:17:52.080 Minister Steve Camper, I know he's a fan of the show. 1:17:52.520 --> 1:17:55.040 He's a good man, Steve Camper. I'm not a Rabbit 1:17:55.080 --> 1:17:57.120 as support of Steve, but I'm urging you do the 1:17:57.240 --> 1:18:00.760 right thing by the Rabbits. Let them play at Alliat's 1:18:01.560 --> 1:18:02.200 until six. 1:18:02.560 --> 1:18:05.880 This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB. 1:18:06.280 --> 1:18:07.880 You call now one three one. 1:18:07.960 --> 1:18:10.559 Eighty seven three if you want to have you saying 1:18:10.600 --> 1:18:13.360 that you can give me a call. Young Australians have 1:18:13.560 --> 1:18:17.280 had some well, sort of positive news. Westpac says almost 1:18:17.320 --> 1:18:20.040 one in six age between twenty five and thirty five 1:18:20.120 --> 1:18:23.200 have actually saved enough money for a five percent deposit. Now, 1:18:23.800 --> 1:18:26.640 why that's now important is because Anthony Albanezi went to 1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:29.880 the election with the guarantee that the government would guarantee 1:18:29.960 --> 1:18:33.559 five percent deposits, which means that a young home buyer 1:18:33.640 --> 1:18:37.000 could borrow ninety five percent of a purchase price. However, 1:18:37.760 --> 1:18:39.880 the issue is many are still being knocked back for 1:18:40.000 --> 1:18:42.880 loans because of the ablitted to service a mortgage long 1:18:43.000 --> 1:18:46.280 term for the repayments. I want to bring in Matthew Hassan, 1:18:46.280 --> 1:18:49.240 who's a senior e commerce with Westpac cod I Matthew, Hey, 1:18:49.320 --> 1:18:51.599 how're the going. I'm good. This is in some ways 1:18:51.640 --> 1:18:54.519 surprising because there's very much a theme that young people 1:18:54.560 --> 1:18:56.720 can't get into the property market, but your research has 1:18:56.760 --> 1:18:59.560 found that a substantial number can do so with a 1:18:59.600 --> 1:19:00.519 five percent deposit. 1:19:01.960 --> 1:19:02.400 That's right. 1:19:03.160 --> 1:19:06.840 We estimate that nationally about four hundred thousand would have 1:19:07.840 --> 1:19:10.880 enough savings to go ahead with a five percent deposit 1:19:11.360 --> 1:19:13.640 on a house purchase at the median price in the 1:19:13.960 --> 1:19:17.040 relevant area. That said, as I sort of mentioned, that's 1:19:17.120 --> 1:19:20.400 only part of the challenge of becoming a first home owner. 1:19:21.240 --> 1:19:22.800 The deposit might have got a bit. 1:19:22.720 --> 1:19:26.160 Easier, but the service ability tests are really the big 1:19:26.280 --> 1:19:29.840 filter I think when it comes to house purchases, and 1:19:30.320 --> 1:19:33.000 with a five percent loan, you know the flip side 1:19:33.040 --> 1:19:35.400 of that, you're going to be borrowing ninety five percent 1:19:35.479 --> 1:19:40.200 of the property price and that's significant hurdle. So while 1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:42.000 it does sort of widen the catch a little bit, 1:19:42.040 --> 1:19:45.120 and if you're where with all income wise, it's a 1:19:45.160 --> 1:19:49.800 pretty good scheme, it's still very challenging for most first 1:19:49.800 --> 1:19:51.400 time buyers looking to get into the market. 1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:54.639 So, Matthew, when you're talking about serviceability, we're talking the repayments, 1:19:54.680 --> 1:19:57.880 whether it's fortnite, leep monthly. The fact that interest rates 1:19:57.920 --> 1:20:01.320 are now trending down, will that mean that there will 1:20:01.360 --> 1:20:03.320 be more younger people will be able to afford based 1:20:03.360 --> 1:20:05.800 on this research that you've released, It. 1:20:05.840 --> 1:20:08.720 Doesn't make it a little bit easier, you know, in 1:20:08.840 --> 1:20:11.640 the end, it depends on you know, the numbers are 1:20:11.720 --> 1:20:14.639 kind of important. You know, the indust races are tunding lower, 1:20:14.720 --> 1:20:17.720 but they're down half a percent, so far. You know, 1:20:17.760 --> 1:20:19.760 we think they'll go another half percent by the end 1:20:19.760 --> 1:20:21.760 of the year and maybe another half percent in the 1:20:21.840 --> 1:20:24.320 first half of the next year. That'll go quite a 1:20:24.360 --> 1:20:26.720 long way towards improving things. But we're not going back 1:20:26.760 --> 1:20:29.639 to the ultra low rates that we have during COVID. 1:20:29.800 --> 1:20:33.200 So given we're prices have moved over the last few years, 1:20:33.280 --> 1:20:35.920 it's still going to be a challenge for most first 1:20:35.960 --> 1:20:37.960 time by so, you know, a step in the right direction, 1:20:38.280 --> 1:20:40.400 a bit better, but still not easy. 1:20:40.720 --> 1:20:42.400 Matthew, what would you say to this, because I'm sure 1:20:42.400 --> 1:20:44.160 I'm going to get messages from some of our listeners 1:20:44.200 --> 1:20:47.080 will point this out. They'll say that, well, when we 1:20:47.160 --> 1:20:49.559 were buying a home in the nineteen eighties, late eighties, 1:20:49.600 --> 1:20:52.639 we had interest rates into the early nineties eighteen percent. 1:20:52.800 --> 1:20:55.200 That younger people don't know how good they've got it 1:20:55.240 --> 1:20:57.160 because the interest rates are so much lower than that. 1:20:57.400 --> 1:20:58.439 How would you respond to that? 1:20:59.400 --> 1:21:01.800 It's a big different is the price levels that they're 1:21:01.840 --> 1:21:04.240 trying to buy at. You know, the median dwelling price 1:21:04.439 --> 1:21:06.840 nationally at the moments that are eight hundred and twenty 1:21:06.920 --> 1:21:10.240 five thousand. That's a world away from the medium prices 1:21:10.280 --> 1:21:12.360 that were availing when we had seventeen to eighty percent 1:21:12.720 --> 1:21:14.800 interest rates, And I know incomes have moved as well 1:21:14.920 --> 1:21:17.519 over that over that long period, but they haven't really 1:21:17.600 --> 1:21:21.960 kept pace. So it's a complete world away from that 1:21:22.400 --> 1:21:24.560 those ultra high industrates. Yeah, of course that was a 1:21:24.600 --> 1:21:28.760 difficult moment for home owners to buy into it for 1:21:28.800 --> 1:21:31.320 the more we felt that had had to copse those 1:21:31.400 --> 1:21:33.479 very high instrates at the time, not saying it wasn't hard, 1:21:34.320 --> 1:21:36.840 but I think that's a measure of just how far 1:21:37.000 --> 1:21:40.240 things have gone. Price was that we are pretty similar 1:21:40.360 --> 1:21:43.679 in terms of affordability to those really stretched interestrate levels 1:21:43.720 --> 1:21:46.400 back then. And the difference really is that, you know, 1:21:46.800 --> 1:21:51.640 today it's the deposit hurdle that's really hard compared to 1:21:52.240 --> 1:21:55.480 the late eighties early nineties, when it was the serviceability 1:21:55.600 --> 1:21:56.640 was the real issue. 1:21:56.360 --> 1:21:58.920 Back then, How on earth are you going to repay. 1:21:58.920 --> 1:22:01.640 Those sorts of interest payments on a mortgage? Now the 1:22:01.800 --> 1:22:05.160 just payments aren't really the owners or the interest rates 1:22:05.520 --> 1:22:10.120 as high, but the deposit hurdle is much higher, and 1:22:10.560 --> 1:22:13.680 the interest payments on the high more which is is 1:22:13.760 --> 1:22:15.479 significantly elevated as well. 1:22:15.640 --> 1:22:17.280 So when you go through and do the. 1:22:17.280 --> 1:22:20.960 Calculations, and I'm sure I think the reply to that 1:22:21.160 --> 1:22:24.080 that sort of assertion would be have a look at 1:22:24.120 --> 1:22:27.160 the home loan calculators online and see how you feel 1:22:27.200 --> 1:22:29.240 about the amount of cash that goes out on servicing 1:22:29.280 --> 1:22:29.719 a mortgage. 1:22:29.800 --> 1:22:33.320 Yeah, good point, Thank you, Matthew. No worries mate, your 1:22:33.400 --> 1:22:36.439 son who's the Westpac senior economist. It was hard back 1:22:36.479 --> 1:22:38.600 in the day of my parents. It's probably a bit 1:22:38.680 --> 1:22:40.160 easier for me when I got to the market twenty 1:22:40.160 --> 1:22:42.840 odd years ago. I do feel for young people these days. 1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:45.080 One three one eight seven three our number eighteen past 1:22:45.120 --> 1:22:52.240 five GV Winter Wheel.

How do you become the Australian of the Year? 1:24:05.840 --> 1:24:08.519 Okay, Clinton, it's tri week to be joining you. Look, 1:24:08.680 --> 1:24:13.240 it's really a straightforward process. But it's a grassroots, community 1:24:13.400 --> 1:24:16.280 led nomination program. And that's the thing that a lot 1:24:16.320 --> 1:24:18.880 of people don't realize. It takes a member of the 1:24:18.920 --> 1:24:22.439 community to take the time to reach out and nominate 1:24:22.880 --> 1:24:25.360 someone that they know, someone that they've heard of, that 1:24:25.520 --> 1:24:29.640 they think is inspiring, someone who brings us together as 1:24:29.680 --> 1:24:31.280 a nation and really makes us proud. 1:24:31.800 --> 1:24:36.040 So an everyday person can nominate another everyday person. 1:24:36.800 --> 1:24:39.240 That's exactly right. In fact, it's the only way they 1:24:39.320 --> 1:24:42.720 can be considered. And we rely on thousands of Australians 1:24:42.760 --> 1:24:45.160 every year who take a few minutes out of their 1:24:45.240 --> 1:24:49.200 day to recognize someone fantastic. It's super easy. You just 1:24:49.320 --> 1:24:52.640 go to australianof the Year dot org dot au and 1:24:52.760 --> 1:24:56.360 click nominate now and it just takes a few minutes. 1:24:56.400 --> 1:24:59.720 And just nominating someone can be the recognition that they're 1:24:59.760 --> 1:25:03.519 really looking for to pat on the back, encouragement to 1:25:03.640 --> 1:25:07.000 keep going. Just knowing that someone in the community thought 1:25:07.120 --> 1:25:10.160 enough of them to nominate them is really important. 1:25:10.200 --> 1:25:12.000 And it does work on a state by state basis, 1:25:12.040 --> 1:25:13.439 doesn't it It does. 1:25:13.560 --> 1:25:16.320 Yeah, So thousands of nominations across the country and then 1:25:16.520 --> 1:25:19.000 all of the nominations for each state and territory gets 1:25:19.040 --> 1:25:23.000 sent to them to look through the eligibility and to shortlist, 1:25:23.360 --> 1:25:25.560 and then we choose the Australians of the Year and 1:25:25.640 --> 1:25:28.679 each of the four categories. That's the Australian of the Year, 1:25:29.280 --> 1:25:32.160 the Young Australian of the Year between sixteen and thirty, 1:25:32.520 --> 1:25:35.519 Senior Australian of the Year sixty five plus and also 1:25:35.600 --> 1:25:38.960 the Local Hero, those dead set local legends, and we 1:25:39.160 --> 1:25:44.519 choose in each state and territory the local winners each 1:25:44.600 --> 1:25:47.360 year and then it's from that group that the national 1:25:47.439 --> 1:25:51.720 recipients are selected for announcement on the twenty fifth of 1:25:51.840 --> 1:25:52.920 January each year. 1:25:52.960 --> 1:25:54.920 Well it's good that week and actually begin the process. 1:25:54.960 --> 1:25:58.480 So just to repeat, where do we go what website Australian. 1:25:58.040 --> 1:26:02.160 Off Theyear dot org dotu and at least nominate. Now 1:26:02.240 --> 1:26:04.000 it's super easy if you think of all of those 1:26:04.120 --> 1:26:07.120 incredible people from New South Wales so have got up 1:26:07.120 --> 1:26:11.800 in recent years, Georgina Long and Professor Richard Scalia from 1:26:11.800 --> 1:26:12.440 the Melanomer. 1:26:12.520 --> 1:26:14.840 It's just so worthy, yes, unbelievable. 1:26:14.960 --> 1:26:18.320 They were the twenty twenty four recipients and so many 1:26:18.400 --> 1:26:20.800 more before them from New South Wales. So I know 1:26:20.920 --> 1:26:23.720 there's someone out there right now who's going to be 1:26:23.800 --> 1:26:25.719 the next Australian of the Year, and it just takes 1:26:25.800 --> 1:26:26.639 someone to nominate. 1:26:26.760 --> 1:26:28.360 Okay, good on you, Mark, thank you for your time 1:26:29.000 --> 1:26:32.120 terrific bo Mark Fraser from the National Australiaay Council. So 1:26:32.439 --> 1:26:34.599 just go on to their website and look. It'll take 1:26:34.600 --> 1:26:35.960 a little bit of time, but it's probably worth doing 1:26:36.000 --> 1:26:39.160 to actually nominate someone who's worthy. Twenty six past five, right, 1:26:39.320 --> 1:26:41.840 I have a statement now from the Office of the 1:26:41.880 --> 1:26:44.400 Minister for Sports, Steve Campe, on this decision that's been 1:26:44.439 --> 1:26:47.320 made today. Did a nice South Sydney the ability to 1:26:47.400 --> 1:26:50.400 return to more Park, which I think is wrong now. 1:26:50.479 --> 1:26:52.760 The statement says the Rabbitos are contracted to play nine 1:26:52.840 --> 1:26:55.439 matches per season at a course stadium, sydneyly Pig Park 1:26:55.520 --> 1:26:58.160 until twenty thirty, as they have since two thousand and six. 1:26:58.320 --> 1:27:00.559 We look forward to continuing to work Thebidos as they 1:27:00.600 --> 1:27:03.479 create the best game day experience for their fans. The 1:27:03.640 --> 1:27:06.680 cost to taxpayers of relocating the Rabbitos from a core 1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:10.639 to Alliance Sydney Football Stadium has been estimated by Venues 1:27:10.680 --> 1:27:14.080 New South Wales to result in a net loss of 1:27:14.200 --> 1:27:17.759 between four and a half million dollars and fourteen million dollars, 1:27:18.479 --> 1:27:21.840 largely attributed to long term agreements around naming rights and 1:27:21.880 --> 1:27:25.400 commercial programs. So the fact that the Sidney Olympics Stadium 1:27:25.720 --> 1:27:27.680 as a naming rights partner. At the moment it's a 1:27:27.760 --> 1:27:30.360 core so that deal would not be worth as much 1:27:30.400 --> 1:27:32.960 to the government as Rabbitos didn't play there. This is 1:27:33.080 --> 1:27:35.519 taxpayers money. We simply can't afford to spend on moving 1:27:35.560 --> 1:27:38.120 stadiums to the rabbit doos. We have critical essential services, 1:27:38.160 --> 1:27:41.080 including schools hospitals that need to be funded. The rabbit 1:27:41.120 --> 1:27:44.920 Os have three uncontracted home matches per year venues. New 1:27:45.000 --> 1:27:47.360 South Wales remains open to hosting the rabbit O's at 1:27:47.479 --> 1:27:51.720 the Alliance Stadium for those games. They tell us they've 1:27:51.720 --> 1:27:53.720 invested one hundred and twenty million dollars at a court 1:27:53.720 --> 1:27:56.360 stadium in recent years to improve facilities including the new 1:27:56.439 --> 1:27:59.800 screens and Wi Fi and speakers, and they're upgrading food 1:28:00.080 --> 1:28:04.800 as well, including Sushi Hub and Zeus Street, Greek Food 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:07.080 and El Janna. Well, that's a wonderful the food's got. 1:28:07.120 --> 1:28:09.800 A great problem is Rabbitos don't belong at Homebush. They 1:28:09.960 --> 1:28:13.200 belong at Moore Park. Should South Sydney be allowed to 1:28:13.240 --> 1:28:15.960 be playing at Moore Park? The government has rejected the proposal. 1:28:16.000 --> 1:28:18.080 I'll talk to mg about it shortly, but Brett says 1:28:18.080 --> 1:28:19.880 and the text line, know they should stay where they 1:28:19.880 --> 1:28:22.640 are at Olympic Park. Everyone thinks they can break contracts. No, 1:28:23.479 --> 1:28:26.519 they belong where the contract they signed says they do. 1:28:26.640 --> 1:28:29.120 But see soouts argue that the government didn't live up 1:28:29.160 --> 1:28:31.360 to their end of the bargain because they didn't upgrade 1:28:32.160 --> 1:28:35.599 the Olympic Park stadium to the extent they wanted. More 1:28:35.640 --> 1:28:37.280 feedback coming in. We'll come to that in the moment. 1:28:37.320 --> 1:28:43.519 Let's check out his headlines and we've got the late 1:28:43.560 --> 1:28:44.520 as Katie Puller. 1:28:44.400 --> 1:28:47.400 Good afternoon, Clinton. Two women and a man are being 1:28:47.520 --> 1:28:50.479 taken to hospital after fire broke out at a unit 1:28:50.600 --> 1:28:54.439 complex in Kellyville. They're being treated for serious burns and 1:28:54.600 --> 1:28:59.280 smoke inhalation. Sydney's Downing Center Court will likely be out 1:28:59.320 --> 1:29:01.560 of action for the rest of the week after a 1:29:01.680 --> 1:29:04.920 water main burst. Two people were rescued from a lift 1:29:05.040 --> 1:29:09.920 and hundreds evacuated from the complex as water cascaded Downcastle 1:29:10.040 --> 1:29:13.040 Raagh Street. Two new primary schools being built in the 1:29:13.120 --> 1:29:16.200 city's southwest as part of a promise to deliver more 1:29:16.280 --> 1:29:19.719 classrooms to the growing area. Funding has been set aside 1:29:19.760 --> 1:29:22.960 in the budget for facilities at Leppington and Emeralds Hills 1:29:23.400 --> 1:29:26.040 and a council meeting will be held tonight to discuss 1:29:26.240 --> 1:29:31.000 how to better run a Christmas Day party at Bronte Beach. Alcohol, 1:29:31.120 --> 1:29:33.680 bands and tickets are among the measures being considered to 1:29:33.800 --> 1:29:36.679 control crowds and curb the amount of rubbish being left 1:29:36.720 --> 1:29:40.080 behind in sport. A huge blow for the Giants in 1:29:40.120 --> 1:29:43.720 the AFL, Star defender Sam Taylor will miss up to 1:29:43.880 --> 1:29:47.879 six weeks with a fractured toe. Small defender Brent Daniels 1:29:48.040 --> 1:29:50.960 is also out with a groin injury.

Now, we do 1:31:44.680 --> 1:31:48.160 not provide financial advice on this program, but Scott Heyward 1:31:48.200 --> 1:31:50.240 certainly does a great job when he presents Money News 1:31:50.240 --> 1:31:52.519 from seven o'clock, filling in for Death Night. Hello Scott, 1:31:52.640 --> 1:31:53.840 Hello Clinton, very kind. 1:31:54.320 --> 1:31:56.320 If Mark's still on the line, which I'm sure he is, 1:31:56.680 --> 1:31:57.200 I'm here. 1:31:57.320 --> 1:31:57.880 Can you hear me? 1:31:58.000 --> 1:31:58.360 Clinton? 1:31:59.400 --> 1:32:01.639 He's got a very excited can you hear me? Clinton? 1:32:02.200 --> 1:32:04.840 You've just listened with Spinning the week Now, a very. 1:32:04.840 --> 1:32:07.559 Very big day for Mark obviously, just winning fifteen hundred 1:32:07.560 --> 1:32:09.800 dollars Clinton, and I've got away for him to spend 1:32:09.840 --> 1:32:11.840 that money, which I'll talk to you about in a moment. 1:32:12.160 --> 1:32:14.880 But everything was really about the Middle East tensions, and 1:32:15.080 --> 1:32:18.439 unfortunately I shouldn't say fortunately, but fortunately our market didn't 1:32:18.479 --> 1:32:21.759 fall significantly, only down seven points to eighty five hundred 1:32:21.760 --> 1:32:24.040 and forty one at the close. Obviously, the tensions between 1:32:24.080 --> 1:32:26.120 is Raean and I Run have remain elevated even days 1:32:26.160 --> 1:32:28.640 after the missile attacks from both countries. And obviously now 1:32:28.920 --> 1:32:30.960 Donald Trump has left the G seven meeting in Canada 1:32:31.000 --> 1:32:33.759 abruptly to try and deliver some sort of threat to Iran, 1:32:34.120 --> 1:32:36.720 to say, well, it's time to put the guns down 1:32:36.760 --> 1:32:38.960 and start to behave. But a shell market, as I said, 1:32:39.080 --> 1:32:41.679 wasn't affected heavily. Our dollars sitting above sixty five point 1:32:41.720 --> 1:32:44.160 three US sense. But back on Mark's fifteen hundred dollars 1:32:44.200 --> 1:32:47.439 win from the big wheel, there is a new US 1:32:47.600 --> 1:32:50.800 president bit of merch on the market, and it is 1:32:50.960 --> 1:32:54.640 called but dare I say it, Trump Mobile. Yes, his 1:32:54.920 --> 1:32:57.320 fame is now going to go into the mobile phone 1:32:57.439 --> 1:33:00.280 service and production industry. Of course, he's already put his 1:33:00.360 --> 1:33:02.479 hand in the wheel or his finger in the pie 1:33:02.880 --> 1:33:06.080 of things such as sneakers and fragrances and watchers and 1:33:06.120 --> 1:33:09.639 even bibles. But now he is heading into Trump Mobile. 1:33:09.720 --> 1:33:12.439 Now the phone which is going to sit it around 1:33:12.439 --> 1:33:14.800 about US five hundred dollars a phone, meaning that Mark 1:33:14.840 --> 1:33:16.479 and spank is one thousand dollars if you wants one, 1:33:16.520 --> 1:33:18.439 which of course is more than half of what an 1:33:18.560 --> 1:33:21.640 iPhone costs Clinton. But yes, that's the latest project from 1:33:21.680 --> 1:33:23.880 Donald Trump. Eric Trump's running it. He said it will 1:33:23.920 --> 1:33:27.560 be eventually manufactured locally in the US, because everything is 1:33:27.600 --> 1:33:30.679 about the United States of America in the Trump family. 1:33:31.160 --> 1:33:34.560 On Sydney. Now, a weather update will be here to 1:33:34.680 --> 1:33:38.720 help in unexpected weather. Nrima insurance, a help come. 1:33:38.880 --> 1:33:40.880 It should remain drive this evening. At the moment on 1:33:40.960 --> 1:33:44.880 the coast, it's fifteen degrees, thirteen degrees across the western suburbs. 1:33:44.960 --> 1:33:46.680 Now tomorrow it looks like a nice day on the way, 1:33:46.680 --> 1:33:50.000 a sunny day with sixteen degrees mostly sunny, and seventeen 1:33:50.040 --> 1:33:53.320 degrees on Thursday, partly cloudy on Friday, with eighteen across 1:33:53.360 --> 1:33:56.800 the weekend, cloudy on Saturday, mostly sunny on Sunday. I'm 1:33:56.880 --> 1:34:00.720 getting so many messages here both sides the story when 1:34:00.760 --> 1:34:02.880 it comes to South Sydney where they should play. So 1:34:02.960 --> 1:34:05.680 the state government's confirmed this afternoon. I've just given you 1:34:05.760 --> 1:34:07.760 that statement from the Sports Minister, Steve Campa that they're 1:34:07.760 --> 1:34:11.600 not going to be moving from the Olympic Stadium to Alliance, 1:34:12.320 --> 1:34:15.559 And so many messages here on the text line, both 1:34:15.680 --> 1:34:19.800 sides of the story. This one's from Simon regarding South 1:34:19.880 --> 1:34:22.760 Sydney requesting the move. It's just another chapter written in 1:34:22.800 --> 1:34:26.400 the book of feuds. Clem says, when the shite hit 1:34:26.479 --> 1:34:29.880 the fan with South being an NRL site, all teams 1:34:29.920 --> 1:34:31.519 were meant to have a stadium, the cade for twenty 1:34:31.560 --> 1:34:34.000 five thousand people, and they never provided that. They shouldn't 1:34:34.000 --> 1:34:36.120 even be in the league. Ill, come on, Clem, they 1:34:36.160 --> 1:34:38.439 shouldn't even be in the league. Well what does MG 1:34:38.640 --> 1:34:40.680 think about that? Do you nex? South Sydney don't even 1:34:40.680 --> 1:34:41.719 have a right to be in the league. 1:34:41.840 --> 1:34:42.000 MG? 1:34:42.720 --> 1:34:44.800 Hello mate, how are you buddy? I'm just hearing this. 1:34:44.880 --> 1:34:45.360 What's going on? 1:34:45.640 --> 1:34:48.240 So confirmation? You know South Sydney had been lobbying through 1:34:48.280 --> 1:34:53.479 Blake Soley to move from Sydney Olympic Park to more 1:34:53.560 --> 1:34:56.800 Park Sydney Football Stadium. Well formally the state governors today 1:34:56.880 --> 1:34:58.280 said no they can't. 1:34:58.880 --> 1:35:01.080 Oh that's a crying show. I think they should. 1:35:01.120 --> 1:35:04.439 There's plenty of room for the two teams at all stadium. 1:35:04.439 --> 1:35:06.320 We've got four teams playing out of Combank. 1:35:06.600 --> 1:35:09.120 I agree. But what Steve Camp of the Sports Minister 1:35:09.160 --> 1:35:10.760 has said, and I've just been given a message from 1:35:10.800 --> 1:35:13.639 his office, if they were to move, it would cost 1:35:13.680 --> 1:35:16.679 between four and a half million dollars and fourteen million 1:35:16.720 --> 1:35:20.080 dollars a year because they would lose revenue through naming 1:35:20.200 --> 1:35:22.799 rights and other revenue sources for the Olympic stadium. 1:35:23.439 --> 1:35:26.519 Oh okay, so it's a double and tendre money thing. 1:35:27.640 --> 1:35:31.280 Oh well, Look, I was there last last. 1:35:31.040 --> 1:35:34.920 Weekend at a course stadium and I really think when 1:35:34.960 --> 1:35:37.639 they have a club game there, they've got to start 1:35:37.720 --> 1:35:38.880 giving ten dollar tickets. 1:35:38.920 --> 1:35:41.720 What they did for the weekend before between the. 1:35:41.760 --> 1:35:45.720 Doggies in Parramatta on the good Monday the King Charles's 1:35:46.360 --> 1:35:47.759 Birthday honors, when. 1:35:47.640 --> 1:35:50.000 So they opened up the top deck of the stadium 1:35:50.040 --> 1:35:51.200 for those ten dollars tickets. 1:35:52.000 --> 1:35:53.519 Sixty thousand people ten bucks. 1:35:54.120 --> 1:35:57.960 Look, it's because when you used to the NRAL in 1:35:58.000 --> 1:36:02.200 twenty twenty five in crowds especially, you know when you 1:36:02.280 --> 1:36:04.080 see the Warriors and you see mainly even though they're 1:36:04.120 --> 1:36:05.720 not traveling that well at the moment, mainly, but. 1:36:05.680 --> 1:36:06.920 They're packing out their stadium. 1:36:06.960 --> 1:36:09.160 And when you go to somewhere like a course stadium 1:36:09.200 --> 1:36:11.960 and you see that there's fifteen thousand people in our 1:36:12.000 --> 1:36:15.760 seventy eighty thousand capacity stadium, it's. 1:36:15.680 --> 1:36:17.240 Just not a good look. It's just not a good look. 1:36:17.920 --> 1:36:20.000 Absolutely. Now you were in Perth. You flirved Berth this 1:36:20.120 --> 1:36:21.320 morning for State of Origin two. 1:36:22.040 --> 1:36:25.320 Yeah I did. I'm actually on the nineteenth floor of 1:36:25.400 --> 1:36:28.479 my hotel. I'm looking right off the stadium. I can 1:36:28.520 --> 1:36:28.720 say it. 1:36:28.880 --> 1:36:32.320 It's about three k's away as the crow. 1:36:32.280 --> 1:36:33.519 Flies the lights have just come on. 1:36:33.600 --> 1:36:37.120 There to my right is Whaka Cricket. 1:36:37.200 --> 1:36:37.519 Well. 1:36:37.560 --> 1:36:40.040 I played my first game for the Western Red against 1:36:40.040 --> 1:36:42.240 Saint George. So it's a bit of a big vibe 1:36:42.240 --> 1:36:42.920 out here at the moment. 1:36:42.960 --> 1:36:43.240 Clinton. 1:36:43.280 --> 1:36:46.320 It's at the airport on the way over here, there's 1:36:46.320 --> 1:36:48.439 a lot of maro Own, a lot of blue on 1:36:48.560 --> 1:36:50.560 the flight, which was Jim Pack. There's a lot of 1:36:50.600 --> 1:36:53.759 talk about Origin and once we've settled into our lodgings 1:36:54.120 --> 1:36:56.360 there's even more talk about Origin tomorrow night in the 1:36:56.439 --> 1:36:58.320 news and so it's fantastic. 1:36:58.439 --> 1:37:01.519 We'll get on the preview details actual football tomorrow when 1:37:01.520 --> 1:37:03.040 you're on the show m G. But this is what 1:37:03.320 --> 1:37:05.320 this is what always intrigues me when Origin has played 1:37:05.360 --> 1:37:09.240 in Perth, whether it's in Melbourne in Adelaide, they're fans 1:37:09.280 --> 1:37:12.919 who are watching two other states. I don't quite understand 1:37:13.000 --> 1:37:15.439 and it's actually been really successful because they keep pick craps. 1:37:15.600 --> 1:37:17.640 I don't understand how the fans then are able to 1:37:17.720 --> 1:37:20.200 latch onto one of those other states and support them 1:37:20.200 --> 1:37:21.920 because it's they're not from those states. 1:37:22.720 --> 1:37:24.720 No, well, that's that's exactly right. I think. 1:37:24.840 --> 1:37:27.880 You know, most times it's usually Queensland who have the 1:37:28.439 --> 1:37:31.280 more in a state, if it's Melbourne or Adelaide or Perth, 1:37:31.360 --> 1:37:34.320 because as we always always know, they're always in the 1:37:34.400 --> 1:37:38.160 underdogs and they're always the little brothers, so they tend 1:37:38.200 --> 1:37:42.080 to get the sybe sibity card from those states that 1:37:42.160 --> 1:37:44.760 aren't really great Bulague states. But I must confess there 1:37:44.880 --> 1:37:46.920 was a lot of blue on my flight and the 1:37:46.960 --> 1:37:47.639 way over here. 1:37:47.520 --> 1:37:47.600 And. 1:37:49.160 --> 1:37:51.040 I'm actually taking I've got a bit of our news 1:37:51.080 --> 1:37:53.840 today about about tomorrow night's game that I will be 1:37:53.960 --> 1:37:56.519 taking the game Boy out onto the stadium to put 1:37:56.560 --> 1:37:57.320 on the little plume. 1:37:57.520 --> 1:38:00.880 OMG, what an honor. You're going to deliver the game ball. 1:38:01.439 --> 1:38:03.639 I'm delivering the game ball in my New South Wales, 1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:04.879 Jersey thanks to Westpac. 1:38:05.439 --> 1:38:07.479 I'll be out there. I don't know. I found that 1:38:07.520 --> 1:38:10.040 out yesterday, so I'm very excited about it. 1:38:10.720 --> 1:38:13.560 Congratulations m GE. Now that would be obviously in recognition 1:38:13.680 --> 1:38:16.040 of your fine work with yourself well, but also that 1:38:16.120 --> 1:38:18.519 you are, Let's be honest, you are probably the biggest 1:38:18.520 --> 1:38:20.840 Perth rugby league identity there's ever been because you played 1:38:20.840 --> 1:38:22.559 for the Western Reds, I think. 1:38:22.680 --> 1:38:24.080 So, I think you've nailed it. 1:38:24.120 --> 1:38:30.639 Well, it's you and Brad McKay who did the red It's. 1:38:30.520 --> 1:38:32.400 Funny because we were the two. We were the first 1:38:32.439 --> 1:38:35.160 two players they signed. And there's actually a Western Reds 1:38:35.200 --> 1:38:39.439 reunion on this week as we speak. So tonight I'll 1:38:39.439 --> 1:38:40.920 be catching up with a couple. I'm catching up with 1:38:41.000 --> 1:38:43.840 Zero and boy Cord and I'm doing a function with them. 1:38:44.439 --> 1:38:47.040 So the timeframe is different because it's it's quarter to 1:38:47.120 --> 1:38:50.240 four here in Perth, so I'm catching up with them 1:38:50.280 --> 1:38:52.479 at about six pm tonight to do a function from 1:38:52.520 --> 1:38:53.880 seven to nine Perth time. 1:38:53.960 --> 1:38:57.080 So that's and then the Western Reds arrive in town 1:38:57.200 --> 1:38:57.519 for the. 1:38:58.320 --> 1:38:59.960 Origin tomorrow night and they go all the way through 1:39:00.760 --> 1:39:03.599 the weekend, which is the Dolphins playing over here in Perth. 1:39:03.880 --> 1:39:06.680 I think as well, saying it's are you telling me 1:39:06.760 --> 1:39:08.080 it's a week long reunion? 1:39:08.360 --> 1:39:11.559 Yeah, I'm tapping out after two days. 1:39:13.439 --> 1:39:16.600 Ex football players in a week long reunion that's going 1:39:16.680 --> 1:39:17.160 to get ugly. 1:39:17.800 --> 1:39:19.840 They're a good bunch of blocks Western red boys, they 1:39:19.920 --> 1:39:22.880 really are. It's one of the reasons. Well, I always 1:39:22.920 --> 1:39:24.680 tell you when. 1:39:23.960 --> 1:39:25.920 You listen to me about how much I love the place. 1:39:27.040 --> 1:39:30.040 And it's changed so much. You know, it's still a 1:39:30.160 --> 1:39:33.400 quiet city, but it's the enterprise over here is you 1:39:33.439 --> 1:39:35.120 can tell it's just coming out of the bleacher. 1:39:35.200 --> 1:39:36.240 So it's looking really good. 1:39:36.320 --> 1:39:38.559 I think it's fantastic to have the Bears back.

As I reported a little earlier, 1:45:25.200 --> 1:45:28.040 the burst water main that occurred today that affected the 1:45:28.080 --> 1:45:31.800 Downing Center Court complex, which is in Liverpool Castle Ragh Street, 1:45:31.880 --> 1:45:33.800 means the Downing Center will be closed for the rest 1:45:33.880 --> 1:45:36.840 of the week. Kirsten's just sent me a message saying 1:45:36.880 --> 1:45:39.120 this is actually absolutely terrible.

I'm still getting messages from rugby league fans 1:46:09.040 --> 1:46:11.200 on all sides of the fence about this issue of 1:46:11.280 --> 1:46:14.320 South Sydney now being denied their request to move back 1:46:14.360 --> 1:46:16.320 to Allian Stadium, the Sydney Football Stadium. 1:46:16.520 --> 1:46:19.120 Those figures you presented earlier from the state government are 1:46:19.160 --> 1:46:21.880 compelling though, aren't they.

But look, I'd 1:46:33.520 --> 1:46:35.720 love to see the rabbit as back there. Maybe they 1:46:35.760 --> 1:46:37.760 could just play two or three games well at a 1:46:37.840 --> 1:46:40.439 core instead at Allian says they're saying they can do Yeah, 1:46:40.560 --> 1:46:41.439 maybe flip that around. 1:46:41.479 --> 1:46:42.000 That's what I reckon. 1:46:42.040 --> 1:46:43.800 I'd love to see them there because we love seeing 1:46:43.840 --> 1:46:48.559 full stadiums.
