Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is Sydney now.
Speaker 2: With Clinton, Monday, June sixteen, one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: It is Clinton Maynard. Here is the bloody reality of
Speaker 2: Sydney's gang war is being played out on streets right now,
Speaker 2: right now in Sydney, in broad daylight. A shooting in
Speaker 2: Auburn this afternoon outside a kebab shop, outside a tobacconist, Yes,
Speaker 2: a tobacconist in South Parade. Three men have been shot.
Speaker 2: Went across to our reporter in just a moment, Josh Bryant,
Speaker 2: who's on the scene. But this is what police have
Speaker 2: been warning us about, brazen daylight assassination attempts that can
Speaker 2: affect innocent people. Now, we don't have a lot of
Speaker 2: detail about the victims yet, those who've been shot, other
Speaker 2: than I've seen some vision from the Channel nine helicopter
Speaker 2: of a man on a stretcher is covered in blood
Speaker 2: being taken away by paramedics. The Premieer has reacted, the
Speaker 2: Police Minister's reacted. Later this afternoon, the acting Police Commissioner
Speaker 2: will hold a press conference. The fact that those at
Speaker 2: the very top and our reacting to this is an
Speaker 2: indication of how serious it is. South parade middle of
Speaker 2: the date. It's a quarter past one and shots ring
Speaker 2: out in the middle of that busy part of Auburn
Speaker 2: while people are buying a kebab. This is the sort
Speaker 2: of advance we can't accept in Sydney or Cross for
Speaker 2: our reporter Josh Bright in just a moment. We'll also
Speaker 2: keep you up to date with all developments from the
Speaker 2: Middle East. One liberal MP is now saying that the
Speaker 2: world should be thankful for what Israel is doing. We'll
Speaker 2: discuss that on straight shooters. We're going to look at
Speaker 2: being left out of pocket when you need surgery in hospital.
Speaker 2: Many of us pay a small fortune for private health insurance,
Speaker 2: but increasingly the gap fee is growing. Are we being
Speaker 2: ripped off by specialists? We'll find out. Mark Gira is
Speaker 2: on with me after five point thirty. He did beat
Speaker 2: me in the footy tips this weekend, and I'll spin
Speaker 2: two GB's Winter Wheel. This is your chance to win
Speaker 2: hundreds of dollars, actually maybe thousands, some great prices as well.
Speaker 2: Don't call yet, we're going to play later in the
Speaker 2: program two GB's Winter Wheel. You are my eyes and
Speaker 2: ears when it's happening in Sydney now, so text me
Speaker 2: zero fourth zero eight seven three eight seven three have
Speaker 2: you say one three one eight seven three. Well in
Speaker 2: Sydney now the hunt is underway the gunman following this
Speaker 2: brazen daylight shooting in Auburn South Parade. I'll bring our
Speaker 2: reporter in, Josh Bryant, who's on the scene. Josh, whereabouts
Speaker 2: you right now?
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Clinton.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3: I'm on South Parade here and where police have locked
Speaker 3: off the remainder of this street. It's right near the
Speaker 3: exit to the train station. So there's a large crowd
Speaker 3: of people. I guess those who are just coming out
Speaker 3: are heating into the train station seeing police taper wondering
Speaker 3: what's going on. Plus a crowd that have gathered when
Speaker 3: they see this is gathering police blocking the street further
Speaker 3: up from cars coming down obviously people wondering why there
Speaker 3: is a gathered media pack as well. You can see
Speaker 3: one police ban from where we are. Police still obviously
Speaker 3: at the seed where they're shooting occurred. What we know
Speaker 3: so far two men and a woman injured. As you
Speaker 3: mentioned that, there was that footage of a man with
Speaker 3: blood on his head or face. As far as we
Speaker 3: understand it, all three have been taken to hospital, but
Speaker 3: their exact condition and their exact injuries unclear. Aside from
Speaker 3: that they are being treated for gunshot boothes.
Speaker 2: So just to confirm, two men and a woman. Do
Speaker 2: we know if they were actually inside that the Brothers
Speaker 2: Kuldbab shop at the time or was just outside that
Speaker 2: strip of shops.
Speaker 3: Still working on that detail. Not Able to confirm exactly
Speaker 3: whether they were, as you say, inside the premise or
Speaker 3: just outside when it occurred. Also, exactly what has sparked
Speaker 3: it or what may be involved still unclear at this
Speaker 3: early stage of the investigation. As you said, we are
Speaker 3: expecting to hear from senior police later this hour and
Speaker 3: I'll keep you informed obviously if any further development that here.
Speaker 3: I've spoken to some people here at the scene who've
Speaker 3: described their shock, and one man were saying he was
Speaker 3: just coming to go to the bank in the afternoon
Speaker 3: and he saw a couple of emergency services fly past
Speaker 3: him on the way, and then when he got here
Speaker 3: the streets blocked off. So obviously he's now just left
Speaker 3: wondering when everything will return to normal.
Speaker 2: Josh, can you just describe to me the other shops
Speaker 2: that are in that strip near the kebab shop.
Speaker 3: I can't see it's around the corner. But this is
Speaker 3: a pretty busy strip. There's you know, I'm standing outside
Speaker 3: a bakery, there's a butcher, there's grocery stores, rest you know,
Speaker 3: fast food restaurants, cafe. So just a busy strip, as
Speaker 3: I said, sad right next to the train station. So
Speaker 3: a lot of foot traffic key to these businesses are
Speaker 3: now their afternoon disrupted because their street has become a
Speaker 3: serious crime scene.
Speaker 2: Okay, Josh will keep checking in with you throughout the afternoon.
Speaker 2: So that is South Parade in Auburn. Josh is there
Speaker 2: at the scene where two men and the women have
Speaker 2: been shot. They have now been taken to hospital. We
Speaker 2: don't have details of their condition yet, other than I
Speaker 2: can tell you from the vision that I've seen of
Speaker 2: one man he was covered in blood. But given the premiere,
Speaker 2: the police Minister and the Acting Commissioner all now speaking
Speaker 2: about this, this is obviously very serious. Mister Minns has said,
Speaker 2: this is shockingly brazen. The New South Wales Police Force
Speaker 2: investigators are already hunting down those responsible. We don't stand
Speaker 2: for it. New South Wales Police don't stand for it.
Speaker 2: The New South Wales police forces level charges in relation
Speaker 2: to twenty the twenty five organized crime murdis since twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, and they're not done yet. People committing this
Speaker 2: kind of violence can expect to be arrested, charged and
Speaker 2: spend years inside small jail cells. It's good to hear
Speaker 2: the Premier speak so strongly about that, but this has
Speaker 2: also now been going on for some time. But when
Speaker 2: it gets to the stage that the shots are being
Speaker 2: fired in these busy areas in the middle of the day,
Speaker 2: that's when we've got to get really serious about confronting this.
Speaker 5: You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned
Speaker 5: to Sidney out with Glenton lan ont GB.
Speaker 2: Okay, we have major problems on the transport network this afternoon,
Speaker 2: specifically the train lines. No trains are running at all
Speaker 2: between Hurstville and Sutherland on the T four. There's been
Speaker 2: a power problem that is affecting the entire T four
Speaker 2: line of power problem between Walleye Creek and Sutherland. Replacement
Speaker 2: buses have been requested. Passengers are advised to make alternative
Speaker 2: travel arrangements or allow plenty of extra time to get home. Look,
Speaker 2: reality is and kids are finishing school right now, and
Speaker 2: I use the T for almost every day. Plenty of
Speaker 2: kids use those trains at this time of the day.
Speaker 2: It's all well and good for transport from yourself. Well,
Speaker 2: to say find alternative means of transport, it's often impossible.
Speaker 2: So the reality is if you're on the T four
Speaker 2: this afternoon, you're going to be facing long delays. There
Speaker 2: are no trains currently operating between Sutherland and Hearstville in
Speaker 2: both directions. I'll bring you news if those trains get
Speaker 2: back up and running.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister has now held his first talks as
Speaker 2: part of the G seven trip that he's on in Calgary.
Speaker 2: He's met with the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and
Speaker 2: this is the head of the critical meeting with the
Speaker 2: US President Donald Trump. He's been asked whether they discussed
Speaker 2: the Israeli Iran conflict during the discussion with the leader
Speaker 2: of Canada, and here's what he's had to say about
Speaker 2: that situation.
Speaker 7: The discussion with President Trump, I expect will be very
Speaker 7: much about Australia and the United States and our relations.
Speaker 7: That will be very much so focus. We've got a
Speaker 7: few things to talk about and that is will be
Speaker 7: the focus. For our discussions.
Speaker 1: We did discuss Israel.
Speaker 7: And Iran, and both of US, I think share a
Speaker 7: view wanting to see a de escalation of conflict, wanting
Speaker 7: to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy.
Speaker 2: The likelihood of declaration the issue being resolved because of
Speaker 2: dialogue is probably not strong at the moment. Mister Trump
Speaker 2: says the US could become involved in the conflict, which
Speaker 2: is intensifying. He says, we're not involved in it at
Speaker 2: the moment. It's possible we could get involved, but at
Speaker 2: the moment we're not involved. The fightings entered a fourth day.
Speaker 2: Iran's launched waves of drones and missiles. In the past
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. Israel has hit the Iranian capital. Fires
Speaker 2: have now been observed in the last hour or so
Speaker 2: at a power plant in the vicinity of northern Israel's
Speaker 2: Hayfa Port. More ballistic missile attacks have been launched. So
Speaker 2: this is not going to simply be sold through diplomacy
Speaker 2: as much as mister Alberinizy, mister Karney and other world
Speaker 2: leaders might like.
Speaker 5: Until six, This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on
Speaker 5: two GB call now one three one.
Speaker 2: We have a pack program coming up for you this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Coming up next more on social media driving dangerous hijinks
Speaker 2: on the train network. I want to hear from you.
Speaker 2: You can send me text messages zero foros X zero
Speaker 2: eight seven three eight seven three my number one three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three. This is Sydney now. It's sixteen
Speaker 2: degrees in the coast, seventeen degrees at Campbelltown one three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three and number. What's the future for
Speaker 2: department stores in our city? I've had today confirmed another
Speaker 2: major closure. We're going to bring your details after three
Speaker 2: point thirty. If you'd like to have your say, send
Speaker 2: me an email to gb dot com. No trains are
Speaker 2: running between Hurstville and Sutherland in both directions because of
Speaker 2: a power problem. This message from Julian regarding the trains
Speaker 2: a tip for those wanting to get to Sutherland specifically
Speaker 2: catch the train to Padstow on the T eight, so
Speaker 2: that'd be from the city. Then you can catch the
Speaker 2: nine to sixty bus from Padstow station to Sutherland station.
Speaker 2: That's a really good tip, Thank you, Julian. Let's cross
Speaker 2: to Tom. Hello Tom, Hey have you tried to catch
Speaker 2: the train home today?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 9: What a circus, What a debacle. I sat at the
Speaker 9: station at Hearst. No one can give us any after
Speaker 9: going from the city. Now one can give us any feedback.
Speaker 9: And then they basically said get off, there's electricity issues,
Speaker 9: powers down, no buses are offered. They just said no
Speaker 9: one could tell us where the taxis are caught an
Speaker 9: expensive over about almost seventy bucks. Only lucky I got here.
Speaker 9: But everyone's freaking out on the trains. Some of the
Speaker 9: older people and a lot of people come and pick
Speaker 9: up their kids.
Speaker 2: This is half the problem, Tom. The communication is appalling.
Speaker 9: It was horrible, but to be fair, I mean there
Speaker 9: was two guards there trying to field forty questions. They
Speaker 9: were outnumbered and they were freaking out as well.
Speaker 2: Now one can help, Okay, we'll try and get the
Speaker 2: message out there. Good on your time. We don't know
Speaker 2: yet when the trains are going to be restored. It's
Speaker 2: a power problem around Walleye Creek. Susan on the text
Speaker 2: Lune says the trains are stuffed again. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get to Sutherland from the city. There are no announcements
Speaker 2: as to why. Any news. Well, it is a power problem.
Speaker 2: We believe it's around Walleye Creek. But again the information
Speaker 2: is very scant at the moment, but there are no
Speaker 2: trains running at all between Hurstville and Sutherland, look just
Speaker 2: on trains. On Friday, I raised the case of the
Speaker 2: thirty three year old alleged lunatic, and I say alleged
Speaker 2: because this bloke is before the courts who's been charged
Speaker 2: with leading police on several chases on his motorbike. This
Speaker 2: guy's accused of filming the chases while reaching speeds of
Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety nine kilometers an hour. And it's
Speaker 2: a trend that is increasing because it's been fueled by
Speaker 2: social media, particularly with teenagers, and that trend is people
Speaker 2: posting this outrageous lunatic style behavior on social media, kids
Speaker 2: who think the best way to gain notoriety, to gain
Speaker 2: likes on whether it's Facebook, it's probably not Facebook. For
Speaker 2: young people, it's probably Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat is to film
Speaker 2: themselves doing crazy things. And I made the point that
Speaker 2: police are reporting a particular increase on the train network,
Speaker 2: and I had a couple of listeners getting contact with
Speaker 2: me on Friday saying, oh no, it's not social media.
Speaker 2: This has been going on since we were kids. And yes,
Speaker 2: to an extent, it has been going on for decades,
Speaker 2: but assure you in twenty twenty five, it is social
Speaker 2: media that is supercharging this stuff, and the police will
Speaker 2: confirm it. And sure, it's impossible to stop teenagers being idiots,
Speaker 2: a lot of them are born that way. But the
Speaker 2: government can do more to better control access to social media,
Speaker 2: and maybe it would prevent a few of these young
Speaker 2: kids doing something stupid. Maybe it would prevent somebody dying
Speaker 2: at some point. I raised this because I've been set
Speaker 2: at video today and we'll put this up online on
Speaker 2: two GB dot com. The sort of outrageous behavior that's
Speaker 2: going to get someone killed, and it's a demonstration of
Speaker 2: what kids are doing to get likes on the train network.
Speaker 2: Now you can go to our website and our social
Speaker 2: media will show this a little later, but this is
Speaker 2: part of what it sounds like. So what this video
Speaker 2: depicts is some young teens getting access to the driver's
Speaker 2: compartment at the rear of the train, so the other
Speaker 2: end from where the train's being driven. Somehow they've got
Speaker 2: it anyway, They've grabbed a fire extinguisher and from outside
Speaker 2: an open door, they open the door. They start spraying
Speaker 2: that fire extinguisher, and you can see the retardant flowing
Speaker 2: down the side of the train which is traveling it
Speaker 2: must be at seventy eighty kilometers an hour, and it
Speaker 2: looks like the train is It looks like the train's
Speaker 2: on fire at one point because there is so much
Speaker 2: it looks like smoke, but it's a fire retardant anyway,
Speaker 2: Eventually they drop this red fire extinguisher and it crashes
Speaker 2: down to the rails below. And if that fire extinguisher
Speaker 2: remains in the rails, it's the sort of thing that
Speaker 2: could easily derail the train and imagine the harm that
Speaker 2: would cause. And it follows another video that I saw
Speaker 2: over the weekend of kids hanging out of train doors. Now, yes,
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff's been going on forever, but what
Speaker 2: it's being fueled by is this desire to become some
Speaker 2: sort of social media celebrity by doing crazy things on trains,
Speaker 2: riding on the top of carriages, clinging onto the back
Speaker 2: of them. Sooner or later, someone's going to be killed
Speaker 2: by this sort of behavior. And yes, it's been going
Speaker 2: on for decades, but the fact that I've been sent
Speaker 2: this video today just a few days after talking about
Speaker 2: it just proves my point. It is social media that
Speaker 2: drives this lunatic style behavior on the train network, and
Speaker 2: sooner or later it'll end up in someone dying. Look,
Speaker 2: if you've got kids, you've got teenagers, how do you
Speaker 2: control it? You probably it's very, very difficult. And that's
Speaker 2: where I'm supportive of the government's move to bring the
Speaker 2: access age to social media down because even though a
Speaker 2: lot of smart kids are still going to get around it,
Speaker 2: that's just reality. It gives parents another another argument when
Speaker 2: they're trying to set down the ground rules for their
Speaker 2: kids about their how to behave. And yes, they've been
Speaker 2: hanging outside train doors since we were little as well,
Speaker 2: but if it prevents a few of them doing it,
Speaker 2: it may well save a life. One three eight seven
Speaker 2: three is my number. Twenty five past three. I was
Speaker 2: broadcasting the program from New Sydney Airport, the Western Sydney's
Speaker 2: National Airport, Badgeries Creek or Bradfield as the city is
Speaker 2: going to be known as. Last week and today the
Speaker 2: government announced their increasing the expended share on the development
Speaker 2: of infrastructure in that region by eight hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: five million dollars in the budget that's going to be
Speaker 2: handled down in a couple of weeks time, and having
Speaker 2: been there, the money is desperately needed because the airport
Speaker 2: is just it'll be a massive driver of economic growth,
Speaker 2: but they need the basic infrastructure in place, and of
Speaker 2: course much has been planned for years, but they need
Speaker 2: a lot more and driving along Elizabeth Drive now, I
Speaker 2: know Elizabeth Drive is not going to be used as
Speaker 2: the main road into the airport. That'll be the M
Speaker 2: twelve motorway when that opens up, but Elizabeth Drive is
Speaker 2: such a significant road still and much of it is
Speaker 2: a goat track. There'll be a billion dollars for the
Speaker 2: first stage to the fifteenth Avenue upgrade between Liverpool and
Speaker 2: the airport, another billion dollars for Mamary Roads Stage two upgrade,
Speaker 2: which is very close to where we were, and more
Speaker 2: than two billion dollars for the M twelve and the
Speaker 2: M twelve will be toll free, which I know, in
Speaker 2: this day and age is a bit of a surprise,
Speaker 2: but it's good. On the issues of social media and
Speaker 2: how kids these days are using it and filming their
Speaker 2: stunt Paul says, look, teens are always going to get
Speaker 2: up to mischief, no more or less. They just have
Speaker 2: cameras now. Thank god my mother knew what we got
Speaker 2: up to because we didn't film it, so she didn't know.
Speaker 2: The police will say the reports of it are increasing,
Speaker 2: and quite dramatically in the last in the last five
Speaker 2: years or so, Michael says, I've seen heaps of these
Speaker 2: videos on Snapchat and TikTok. I saw a motorbike yesterday
Speaker 2: who'd done a wheelie on Luxford Road overtaking a police car.
Speaker 2: You're kiddy, Michael, with a cardboard number plate in big
Speaker 2: black text. A fake cardboard number plate with three letters
Speaker 2: on it. Unbelievable. ACDC is go to two of the country. Yes,
Speaker 2: they're a little older these days, but they'll be back.
Speaker 2: Peter four with the details shortly. Let's check out his
Speaker 2: headlines and we've got the lads.
Speaker 10: Katie Pullan, Good afternoon, Clinton. True men and a woman
Speaker 10: have been the target of a brazen lunchtime shooting at
Speaker 10: Auburn in Sydney's southwest. They were attacked outside a Turkish
Speaker 10: restaurant near the railway station. No trains are running between
Speaker 10: Sutherland and Hurstville on the te for Eastern Suburbs and
Speaker 10: Illawarra line. A power supply issue is halting services. Strict
Speaker 10: regulations for the important sale of vapes are believed to
Speaker 10: be driving black market sales. Data from the Therapeutic Goods
Speaker 10: Administration suggests fewer than one in sixteen hundred of the
Speaker 10: products are being purchased legally at a pharmacy and ambulance
Speaker 10: staff and volunteers from across the state have been recognized
Speaker 10: at a special awards ceremony in Newcastle. In Sport, Dolphin's enforcer,
Speaker 10: Police Kefuzi has entered an early guilty plea after being
Speaker 10: charged with dangerous contact against the Cowboys. He'll miss the
Speaker 10: next two games. Clinton More news at.
Speaker 2: Four kkat sixteen degrees in the coast at seventeen degrees
Speaker 2: of Bankstown. At the moment, police are still at the
Speaker 2: scene of a shooting in northwestern Tasmania where a police
Speaker 2: officer has been shot and killed. Today police were called
Speaker 2: to a resident cential property in a small town called
Speaker 2: North Martin in relation to routine duties. Allegedly, a member
Speaker 2: of the public shot of the police officer as the
Speaker 2: officer approached the house. Another police officer consequently discharged their
Speaker 2: firearm towards the offender, who then surrendered the police. The
Speaker 2: police officer was critically injured and died at the scene.
Speaker 2: The offender was not seriously injured. That person is in
Speaker 2: custody right now. The acting Police Commissioner, Peter Thurtell will
Speaker 2: hold a press conference in about fifteen minutes time about
Speaker 2: what's unfolded in Auburn this afternoon. In South Parade, two
Speaker 2: men and a woman have been shot. We still are
Speaker 2: seeking the final confirmation of their conditions. They're now in hospital,
Speaker 2: but police are now treating this very seriously. The Police
Speaker 2: Minister will also provide an update at three point forty five.
Speaker 2: Will bring that to you as it comes to hand.
Speaker 5: You want to know what's happening in Sydney, stay tuned
Speaker 5: to Sidney Out with Clinton on to GV.
Speaker 2: The nominees for this year's Logis have been announced today.
Speaker 2: To Ford is covering all the details TI peterde Glendon.
Speaker 8: Yes, it's quite an eclectic group of people and a
Speaker 8: few strange sort of absentees from it, but they're all
Speaker 8: terrific talents. Now it's a bit of a mystery. Even
Speaker 8: I don't quite understand the process to get to today's point.
Speaker 8: As I understand that the networks all have a chance
Speaker 8: to put up the people who they would like they
Speaker 8: can choose. I think it's four people each, and then
Speaker 8: this mystery group of industry insiders then whistles it down
Speaker 8: to the final seven that were revealed this morning at
Speaker 8: the Opera House at a function there. So it's also
Speaker 8: interesting that some people might only be on air for
Speaker 8: a short burst in the year, but they're still get
Speaker 8: into this category, whereas other people are on every night
Speaker 8: of the week, such as Ali langdon you know, doing
Speaker 8: a current affair there every night. Obviously you're in people's homes,
Speaker 8: you're in their faces a lot more than some of
Speaker 8: the others. So she is nominated for the Gold LOGI
Speaker 8: I would have to say I think she'd have a
Speaker 8: pretty good chance. Bish Blake is also nominated for Lego Masters.
Speaker 8: Now that's an example of what I was saying, where
Speaker 8: he's only on air for a burst and yet he's
Speaker 8: still made the impact that he's got onto this list again.
Speaker 8: Julia Morris similar thing on air for those eight or
Speaker 8: nine weeks of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here.
Speaker 8: Lisa Miller from the ABC Now, she of course has
Speaker 8: left ABC News Breakfast, but she's still got quite a
Speaker 8: presence doing other things on the ABC. Lynn McGranger, Irene
Speaker 8: from Home and Away, and I would think I would
Speaker 8: probably think she'd be the shortest odds because she's leading
Speaker 8: the show, lots of good will attached to her. Poe
Speaker 8: ling Yow from Master Chef, what a great story that is.
Speaker 8: You know, she was the runner up on the first
Speaker 8: season and she's gone on to have this great career
Speaker 8: in her own right. And Sonya Krueger, don't discount her.
Speaker 8: She's been there before and got up and won, so
Speaker 8: this could have gained be her year.
Speaker 2: Peter, there's a bit being made about the fact there's
Speaker 2: only one mail amongst the contenders, Hamish Blake from Lego Masters,
Speaker 2: is that Look, do you think there's something deliberate behind that?
Speaker 8: No, I just think it's how the cards fell, you know,
Speaker 8: as I say, it does get into a kind of
Speaker 8: blurry area where this mystery group of insiders get to
Speaker 8: choose the final seven. So, look, it's a strange sort
Speaker 8: of competition. It really is, because obviously, if the network
Speaker 8: doesn't put you up in the first place, you haven't
Speaker 8: got a chance. And then if the mystery group of
Speaker 8: TV insiders don't select you you haven't got a chance,
Speaker 8: so you know, and now it becomes the public's job
Speaker 8: to make that finals decision.
Speaker 2: Now, this is going to make many people happy. We've
Speaker 2: had news today that ACDC is going to tour Australia again.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it looks like it's quite definite. We haven't
Speaker 8: got the exact dates yet. There's still I think juggling
Speaker 8: a couple of things, but it's November December of this year.
Speaker 8: The concert in Malobourn, interestingly is set for the MCG.
Speaker 8: Now what I did think, and this is just a
Speaker 8: random thought. The last something like that happened was was
Speaker 8: Billy Joel and he was exclusive to Melbourne. You had
Speaker 8: to go to Melbourne to suh. No, no, well, I
Speaker 8: don't want to throw the grenade just yet. But they
Speaker 8: are definitely playing the MCG in Melbourne. But of course
Speaker 8: the huge in Melbourne. I mean, they were formed in Sydney.
Speaker 8: But there's a special affinity for ac DC in Melbourne
Speaker 8: because that famous you know when you look at it now,
Speaker 8: pretty tacky, low budget video clip for long Way to
Speaker 8: the Top as they go down Swanson Street in Melbourne
Speaker 8: on the back of the truck. But yeah, they'll feel
Speaker 8: at least one show at the mcg I don't doubt that,
Speaker 8: but I would be surprised if it is a Melbourne exclusive.
Speaker 2: Peter, there will be a right in Sydney if ac
Speaker 2: DC don't come here, because this has actually been an
Speaker 2: issue honestly, before State Parliament this year. There's been a
Speaker 2: demand for a memorial to be erected in Burwood because
Speaker 2: the original home of the Young Brothers has been knocked
Speaker 2: down and one of the MP's said to the Premier
Speaker 2: we want a memorial and he's now conceded. Yet we'll
Speaker 2: consider that. There will be a rite down mc correy
Speaker 2: Street if Akadaka don't come here.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, Well, in Melbourne there's actually ac DC Lane.
Speaker 8: They've actually named the street after them. So the competition
Speaker 8: that the love is on. Good on you, Peter, Thanks Clinton,
Speaker 8: Peter Ford.
Speaker 2: They better be back to see I'm not a massive
Speaker 2: Akadaka fan, but honestly, if Melbourne has secured an exclusive concert,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of outrage in Sydney because,
Speaker 2: let's be honest, they're from Sydney, They're not from Melbourne. Okay,
Speaker 2: Bond Scott was from Perth, but come on, they need
Speaker 2: to be in Sydney one three one eight seven three
Speaker 2: on this issue of how social media is being used
Speaker 2: to fuel crazy behavior on Sydney's train network by younger people.
Speaker 2: Mike diet I Mike got.
Speaker 4: A Clinic, Good show tonight, all this stuff, and well,
Speaker 4: the only way it's going to work is if they
Speaker 4: start to actually put some identifier on these people who
Speaker 4: are posting it. The easiest way to do that would
Speaker 4: be simply tie each account to a mobile number and
Speaker 4: have it verified the same way as you do with
Speaker 4: a bank account. They just reading through and ask them
Speaker 4: to verify the number you sent it to.
Speaker 2: So that'd be up to the social media the tech giants,
Speaker 2: So those who runs some meta for instance Instagram, they'd
Speaker 2: have to institute that.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't They would have to institute it. But they've got
Speaker 4: to do something. And I mean, as long as they've
Speaker 4: got anonymity, this is going to continue and there's nothing
Speaker 4: an you want can do about it. You've got to
Speaker 4: remove the anonymity for the post.
Speaker 2: But this is the crazy thing. I've been looking at
Speaker 2: some of these videos today and some of the videos
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put up on our website because you can
Speaker 2: clearly identify who the kids are, so they don't worry
Speaker 2: about trying to be anonymous. They're putting themselves out there.
Speaker 4: But they're not particularly smart, obviously, But that's not the point.
Speaker 4: The point is, but apart from the inappropriate behavior, it's
Speaker 4: the inappropriate post people are putting, the abuse they're putting
Speaker 4: unless you unless you put to put your name to it,
Speaker 4: same as you do if you're in a newspaper. You
Speaker 4: have to identify yourself you want letters to the editor
Speaker 4: or anything else.
Speaker 2: Yep, good on you, Thank you, Mike. This text message
Speaker 2: from Virginia zero four x zero eight seven three out seven,
Speaker 2: three week or so ago. I was returning from Glenbrook
Speaker 2: to Parramatta. The Guard was making numerous requests for people
Speaker 2: not to force the closure of the carriage doors while
Speaker 2: in operation. Also Lapston, there were young people drinking hard.
Speaker 2: So that's what's it called now that that was called
Speaker 2: hard solo. They've changed the name. But that lemon alcoholic drink,
Speaker 2: blatantly drinking on the train at three o'clock on a
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon. Maybe security should return. Hey, look, reality is
Speaker 2: it's been happening for years. But it's this this desire
Speaker 2: some reason. Kids just want to be famous online and
Speaker 2: they think they can get there. They think they can
Speaker 2: get there by posting videos on Instagram or Snapchat or TikTok.
Speaker 2: It's going to get someone killed sooner or later. It's
Speaker 2: twenty four. We all talk to the Acting Police Commissioner,
Speaker 2: Peter Fertill after the four o'clock news on the unfolding
Speaker 2: situation at Auburn where three people have been shot. Two
Speaker 2: men and a woman are in hospital if to have
Speaker 2: been shot in broad daylight outside a kebab shop South Parade.
Speaker 2: We'll speak with the acting Police Commissioner after four o'clock
Speaker 2: word on the street. Thanks to Tempa a great night's
Speaker 2: sleep night after night. The difference is temper. When you
Speaker 2: see something around Citney that we need to know about,
Speaker 2: send me a text message zero for zero eight seven
Speaker 2: three out seven three. If you'd like us to investigate something,
Speaker 2: you can email me two GB dot com received a
Speaker 2: message from Charles and Charles says David Jones. Castle Hill
Speaker 2: Castle Towers will be closing down next March March twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. There'll be quite a few job losses there
Speaker 2: as well. As part of the closure. There's been a
Speaker 2: breakdown in negotiations between the center management and the company. Well,
Speaker 2: we've put this to David Jones today and you are right, Charles.
Speaker 2: David Jones spokesperson has confirmed David Jones Castle Towers will
Speaker 2: close on March twenty twenty six. We will work with
Speaker 2: Castle Towers team members to find redeployment opportunities wherever possible.
Speaker 2: So team members is a fan known for jobs and staff,
Speaker 2: so hopefully people won't be out of a job. David
Speaker 2: Jones Tugra will also close so on the Central Coast
Speaker 2: January twenty twenty six. They did confirm that one was
Speaker 2: announced back in April of twenty twenty two. David Jones
Speaker 2: says we're looking forward to relaunching stores that are currently
Speaker 2: owner refurbishment, including Bondai and Chatswood. Joe Munroe is the
Speaker 2: founder of the Savvy Shopperholic. She is an expert when
Speaker 2: it comes to shopping and department stores. Hello Joe, Hi.
Speaker 2: This has been a trend for a little while department
Speaker 2: stores closing down. Is it disappointing that DJs will close
Speaker 2: Castle Towers and some other stores?
Speaker 11: I think it is.
Speaker 12: Really disappointing, But I've got to say, we've all got
Speaker 12: a little bit lazy with doing our online shopping being
Speaker 12: aggressive it. You know, we can get really good bargains
Speaker 12: by doing letting our fingers do the walking online. So
Speaker 12: I don't think people do as much browsing going into
Speaker 12: shopping centers and wandering around and purchasing what they see anymore.
Speaker 12: I think we're a little bit smarter in the way
Speaker 12: we What I.
Speaker 2: Don't quite understand is why it's White's department stores that
Speaker 2: are feeling this pain when you see places like a
Speaker 2: Kmart doing really well, and then when the profit results
Speaker 2: are released by Kmart's owners, they're always very strong.
Speaker 12: Oh, Kmart has a cult following. But I also think
Speaker 12: it's about the value. So people don't mind spending a
Speaker 12: lot of money on high price items if they're getting
Speaker 12: value for it. Kmart obviously more aggressive pricing, So you know,
Speaker 12: if I buy a designer item from David Jones, I
Speaker 12: expect better service than what I would expect from Kmart.
Speaker 12: It's just kind of human nature. Now came I give
Speaker 12: good service, don't get me wrong, But I think it
Speaker 12: is about the perception.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if people are seeking really good service, how
Speaker 2: can online offer that? Why would they be abandoning a
Speaker 2: department store for online shopping if service was so important.
Speaker 12: I don't think we're only ever going to go to online.
Speaker 12: I think some of these big shopping centers I call
Speaker 12: shopping department stores. Maya and David Jones were very slow
Speaker 12: get online. So there are a lot of pure players
Speaker 12: that were online only that really refined the way that
Speaker 12: they targeted their customers in the early days. David Jones
Speaker 12: and Meyer, considering sort of the last ten years, are
Speaker 12: relatively now really up in their game online. I know
Speaker 12: David Jones, I'd buy a lot from David Jones online,
Speaker 12: but i'd buy from David Jones online on sales. I
Speaker 12: don't buy full price from David Jones online. So back
Speaker 12: to that value.
Speaker 2: Position, Joe, Is it a matter of people going into
Speaker 2: a David Jones or might be Amia another major department store,
Speaker 2: having a look at things, then going home and buying
Speaker 2: it online.
Speaker 12: They would go and I would recommend to people, as
Speaker 12: a person who talked about shopping, I would recommend doing
Speaker 12: a comparison shop, so find something great, even down to books.
Speaker 12: You know, eBay have a great app that you can
Speaker 12: actually scan a barcode and see what price things are
Speaker 12: going for on eBay. Always do that to see that
Speaker 12: gives you kind of the medium price of what things
Speaker 12: are going for. Why would you pay full price. So
Speaker 12: that's my thing about David Jones having the stores open.
Speaker 12: It's very expensive per square meter of those store space.
Speaker 12: And with Maya I used to work. I used to
Speaker 12: have a relationship with Maya back in one of my
Speaker 12: jobs at Telstray. They factor everything on their return on
Speaker 12: investment on floor space, that sort of thing. It's very
Speaker 12: expensive to have these big stores open. Less expensive to
Speaker 12: run a really killing online store. Now, we always will
Speaker 12: want to go in and try the shoes on, or
Speaker 12: you know, lift something up, or see if the color
Speaker 12: suits you, or you know, those that will never be replaced.
Speaker 12: But I can see why these major department stores are
Speaker 12: lowering the size of their footprint because of the cost.
Speaker 2: Like most people, I do buy things online these days,
Speaker 2: but I also still like to go with a store.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons I do have a preference for
Speaker 2: going to a store is if I need to take
Speaker 2: something back, I just find it easier to take it
Speaker 2: back to the store. Is that a big advantage for
Speaker 2: a David Jones or a Maya.
Speaker 12: Yeah, look, I love to do the best of both worlds.
Speaker 12: So if I'm buying from David Jones or Mayer, I
Speaker 12: will often do click and collect that you can go
Speaker 12: in and just get the thing that you purchased in
Speaker 12: within two hours. Or you know, maybe your bud in
Speaker 12: the morning, you pick it up in the afternoon, try
Speaker 12: it on and then return it immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 12: So yeah, it's about getting the best bang for your
Speaker 12: buck and making things as easy as possible. But you
Speaker 12: know David Jones online, they do send you a free
Speaker 12: parcel post sticker to return things. Yeah, so they've really
Speaker 12: they've really smoothed out their game. But it is sad
Speaker 12: that the stores are closing because there's nothing better than
Speaker 12: wandering around the shop and.
Speaker 2: Picking up all the beautiful am Absolutely thanks your time, Joe,
Speaker 2: Welcome Jay Munroe, who's the savvy shoppaholic. Look, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of guitars over in the UK.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest guitar chain retailer has just closed,
Speaker 2: and that followed the closure of the second biggest retail
Speaker 2: And these are chains and the reason they are is
Speaker 2: because people, particularly in Europe, are buying musical instruments online,
Speaker 2: which I think is terribly risky because it's great to
Speaker 2: be able to pick up something, but are we going
Speaker 2: to get to that stage where our department stores just disappear,
Speaker 2: that we're going to buy everything online and we won't
Speaker 2: be able to try it before we buy it. What's
Speaker 2: your experience being let me know. One three, one eight
Speaker 2: seven three is our number. It's five to four. The
Speaker 2: latest from Auburn where three people have been shot at
Speaker 2: a kebab store. Now we can confirm the Acting Commissioner
Speaker 2: Peter Thurtell and the Police Minister Yasmin Cantley are currently
Speaker 2: addressing the media, and the Acting commission will join me
Speaker 2: after four o'clock. We can confirm at least one of
Speaker 2: the victims is completely innocent, somebody who was not targeted.
Speaker 2: Now we believe that as a fifty year old woman
Speaker 2: who's been shot twice in the stomach. A twenty six
Speaker 2: year old male has been shot in the arm and
Speaker 2: the shoulder. Acting Commissioner Thirdtael has now told us that
Speaker 2: two masked gunmen walked into the kebab shop. This is
Speaker 2: Brothers Kebabs, South Parade, Auburn, broad Daylight. They've opened fire
Speaker 2: at least eight shots. Now they've struck two men, including
Speaker 2: that twenty six year old and the fifty year old
Speaker 2: woman who is an innocent person. The second male has
Speaker 2: been shot in the face. All of those three people
Speaker 2: have been taken to hospital. The police say the two
Speaker 2: offenders then attempted to get into an office. This is
Speaker 2: at the kebab shop. They've then fled the scene in
Speaker 2: the black BMW. They have not been found yet. Police
Speaker 2: are out there searching for this black BMW. So as
Speaker 2: it stands at the moment, a fifty year old woman
Speaker 2: is in hospital. She's been shot twice in the torso.
Speaker 2: Police say she is completely innocent. Twenty six year old
Speaker 2: man's been shot in the arm and shoulder. Another man
Speaker 2: has been shot in the face. We will speak with
Speaker 2: the acting Police Commissioner, Peter Thurtell after four o'clock.
Speaker 1: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. Sydney
Speaker 1: Now withod Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: Until there have been major dramas on the T four
Speaker 2: train line between Bondi Junction, Cronulla and Waterfall this afternoon
Speaker 2: with the latest Jazz tumba from Sydney Trains. Have the
Speaker 2: train services been restored Jazz.
Speaker 13: Yes, we have started moving trains again after the power
Speaker 13: supply issues we had approximately two pm this afternoon we
Speaker 13: had a power surge which knocked out our signaling system
Speaker 13: and the overhead wire power. But the power has now
Speaker 13: been restored and the signing system is now fully operational
Speaker 13: and we have got trains moving again so.
Speaker 2: That they are running in both directions through Inhearstville and
Speaker 2: Sutherland they are now.
Speaker 13: Yes, that's correct. There will be a challenge in getting
Speaker 13: the frequency of service moving, as you can appreciate, we've
Speaker 13: got some caps, so for passengers it's just allow you
Speaker 13: some additional extra travel time if you are going to
Speaker 13: operate orfully you are going to catch services on the
Speaker 13: T four on the south coast.
Speaker 2: Does the timetable be any resemblance to what's actually happening
Speaker 2: at stations.
Speaker 13: Right now, It won't do, And we're trying to ensure
Speaker 13: there's a frequency of service going forward. So there'll be
Speaker 13: a gradual increase in the number of services in the
Speaker 13: next hour or so and we'll try and get ourselves
Speaker 13: back to a fifteen minute frequency as a minimum for
Speaker 13: the afternoon peak.
Speaker 2: So for the rest of the afternoon what's your advice
Speaker 2: forget the times that will just go to your train station.
Speaker 13: Yeah, go to the train station, but please allow some
Speaker 13: extra trouble time and listen for announcements regarding the services
Speaker 13: that we're operating.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks to the information Jazz Tamba from Sydney Train.
Speaker 2: So the trains have now been restored between Hurstville and Sutherland,
Speaker 2: the T four. They're going to ramp up the services
Speaker 2: in the next half an hour or so. They will
Speaker 2: be running at least every fifteen minutes. I should point
Speaker 2: out the rest of the train network is not affected
Speaker 2: by this outage, which is good because the T four
Speaker 2: is the one line that doesn't impact the rest.
Speaker 1: Of the network until six.
Speaker 5: This is Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 5: call now one three one ay.
Speaker 1: Seven three Okay.
Speaker 2: I've got a stack of feedback about the future of
Speaker 2: department stores and why David Jones is closing some of them.
Speaker 2: We've had confirmation the Castle Towers store will close in
Speaker 2: the middle of next year and their Tuggrat store will
Speaker 2: close the beginning of next year in January. James says, Look,
Speaker 2: have you ever tried to find a stap member of
Speaker 2: David Jones to actually assist you. They can't be found
Speaker 2: within their department stores. Cathy says, I've tried to shop
Speaker 2: at David Jones. You can't find what you need, and
Speaker 2: if you can, you can't find any staff to help
Speaker 2: you with their high price of merchandise. Ruth makes the
Speaker 2: point Kmart. I asked the question of Joe, who's the experts,
Speaker 2: she's the shoppaholic, about why Kmart's still proving popular. There's
Speaker 2: a bit of a cult following with kmarts these days,
Speaker 2: Ruth says. Kmart at Ashfield Mall now has registers at
Speaker 2: the front of the stores, unlike a lot of kmarts
Speaker 2: where they're in the middle. We were talking about that
Speaker 2: in the program a couple of weeks ago, where a
Speaker 2: lot of kmarts have them in the middle of the store.
Speaker 2: Clay says, I ordered the nighting board from DJ's Chatswood yesterday.
Speaker 2: Four hours later, I spent an hour looking for a
Speaker 2: car spot. I finally found a single staff member to
Speaker 2: be told the ironing board, which I'd ordered online, was
Speaker 2: not ready yet. So I'll never do DJs again. Thank you, Clay.
Speaker 2: Just talking about shopping, I was walking through pitt Street
Speaker 2: Mall this morning. It was really cold, right, it's pretty
Speaker 2: cold at the moment anyway, walk past this line of
Speaker 2: people would have been three one hundred odd outside one
Speaker 2: particular shop. What were they doing? They were lighting up
Speaker 2: to buy one of those Labooboo things, the special collectibles
Speaker 2: that have become obviously hugely popular. There was a special
Speaker 2: one that was being released this morning. Must say something
Speaker 2: about human philosophy that people are willing to stand out
Speaker 2: there in the eight degree temperatures in the pitt Street
Speaker 2: mall for a Labooboo. More on the Urburn shooting after
Speaker 2: the news.
Speaker 1: Then now we've on TGB.
Speaker 2: If you're heading home from the city to the southern suburbs,
Speaker 2: the train network is running once again. The T four
Speaker 2: is operational after all. Trains had been halted between Hearstfille
Speaker 2: and Sutherland for some time because of a power problem.
Speaker 2: Those services are now running again, but there are long delays.
Speaker 2: If you rely on a timetable, don't just go to
Speaker 2: the train station. If you're trying to get home in
Speaker 2: the T four, there will be a train. It's likely
Speaker 2: to be crowded. The Transport for New South Wales boffins
Speaker 2: trying to get some extra services actually up and running
Speaker 2: the next half an hour, so they should be running
Speaker 2: at least fifteen minutes or so, but they will not
Speaker 2: be running the timetable effectively for the rest of the afternoon.
Speaker 2: Now the rest of the train network is running the
Speaker 2: time at the moment one eight seven three. I'll be
Speaker 2: speaking with the acting Police Commissioner, Peter Thurtel in a
Speaker 2: few minutes time about what's occurred in Auburn this afternoon
Speaker 2: in broad daylight. Three people have been shot. Now those
Speaker 2: three victims are alive. They are in hospital, obviously in
Speaker 2: critical conditions. There's a fifty year old woman who's been
Speaker 2: shot twice. She is somebody who was working at the
Speaker 2: Kebab shop in South Parade Brothers Kebabs, apparently inside the
Speaker 2: building when she was shot. Two mass gunmen have entered
Speaker 2: that restaurant South Parade about a quarter past one an
Speaker 2: open fire. They've fired about eight shots. A twenty six
Speaker 2: year old man's been shot in the arm and shoulder.
Speaker 2: Another man's been shot in the face, and police have
Speaker 2: confirmed one of the men has been targeted in previous shootings.
Speaker 2: The Daily Tien Teleograph is now reporting twenty six year
Speaker 2: old Sam Azari was shot in May twenty fifth of
Speaker 2: May while he was traveling in the backseat of a
Speaker 2: ute in Granville.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Police later charged him, despite being the victim of that shooting,
Speaker 2: with possessing an unauthorized gun after a pistol was found
Speaker 2: in the vehicle. He was given bail despite police warning
Speaker 2: the court that he was at the epic center of
Speaker 2: gangland tensions in Sydney. He was given bail well. Based
Speaker 2: on what's being reported now this afternoon he was shot.
Speaker 2: Peter Thirtell has explained what transpired.
Speaker 11: And approximately one ten pm this afternoon, two masked gunmen
Speaker 11: walked into a kebab shot in Auburn and fired eight shots.
Speaker 11: As a result, a twenty six year old male was
Speaker 11: shot in the arm and shoulder, an unknown male was
Speaker 11: shot in the face, and a fifty year old woman
Speaker 11: was shot twice in the torso. At this stage, all
Speaker 11: of those victims have been taken to hospital. What we
Speaker 11: do know is shortly after the shootings, the two offenders
Speaker 11: attempted to get into an office in the back of
Speaker 11: the building without success, and then left in a black
Speaker 11: BMW vehicle with clone plates. What I can also tell
Speaker 11: you is that one of the victims of the shooting,
Speaker 11: a twenty six year old male we believe was the
Speaker 11: subject of two previous attempts on his life. I can
Speaker 11: also tell you that approximately one hour before the shooting,
Speaker 11: that same mail reported to police on bail.
Speaker 2: So Peter Thurtill is referring to this Azari who the
Speaker 2: police argued against bail when he was in court after
Speaker 2: he was shot at in may The Police Minister Yasmin
Speaker 2: Cantley has now spoken.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on t GB.
Speaker 14: An innocent victim doing her job. All she did was
Speaker 14: go to work and she has been caught up in
Speaker 14: this shocking event. Look, I have to say it's one
Speaker 14: thing for criminals to be shooting each other, but when
Speaker 14: innocent people get caught up in this, it is absolutely
Speaker 14: abhorrent and we will not tolerate it. Less than three
Speaker 14: weeks ago we set up Strikeforce Falcon. Less than three
Speaker 14: weeks ago we set up Task Force Falcon. Already, Taskforce
Speaker 14: Falcon has arrested twenty three people. That's in less than
Speaker 14: three weeks. So my message to anyone out there going
Speaker 14: to be doing these place based shootings on our streets.
Speaker 14: The police will get you and they will lock you
Speaker 14: up for a very long time, as they should.
Speaker 2: He has been. Catley rightly points out twenty three people
Speaker 2: have been arrested so far by a Task Force Falcon,
Speaker 2: but they haven't been arrested of murders. They've been arrested
Speaker 2: over offenses relating to these crimes, but they're yet to
Speaker 2: arrest alleged murderers. And as has now been reported by
Speaker 2: Peter Thurtill, one of these alleged victims, Azari, was actually
Speaker 2: reporting for bail today. He had been given at bail
Speaker 2: against the advice of the police. Eleven past four seventy three.
Speaker 2: Have you needed to see a specialist doctor? Of late?
Speaker 2: Have you noticed a rise in prices? One in ten
Speaker 2: Australians are paying up to six hundred dollars a year
Speaker 2: in specialist fees, and it's a seventy five percent jump
Speaker 2: since twenty ten. Now, much of this has got to
Speaker 2: do with the fact that private health insurance often will
Speaker 2: not cover a gap that you're required to pay. The
Speaker 2: Telegraph reporting today one point nine million Australians are delaying
Speaker 2: or skipping vital care that they're missing diagnoses, which puts
Speaker 2: increased pressure back on the public hospital network. The grat
Speaker 2: nins dute suggests we should name and shame expensive specialists
Speaker 2: and revoke their Medicare funding. Peter Breton is from the
Speaker 2: grat Nintz. Hello Peter, Hello, you're finding that special lists
Speaker 2: of ripping us.
Speaker 15: Off, Well, some are, that's for sure. So you know,
Speaker 15: many specialists might charge a reasonable price, but as you mentioned,
Speaker 15: it's gone up by three quarters just in the last
Speaker 15: fifteen years. And there are that minority of specialists. We
Speaker 15: looked into the data and four percent of them are
Speaker 15: charging their patients on average triple what the government kicks
Speaker 15: in through Medicare. And that would be for going to
Speaker 15: see a cardiologist or a pediatrician for a first visit
Speaker 15: three hundred and sixty dollars a first visit with a
Speaker 15: psychiatrist six hundred and seventy dollars. So there's no doubt
Speaker 15: that there are some doctors out there who are charging
Speaker 15: fees that just can't be justified.
Speaker 2: How does that then work with private health insurance because
Speaker 2: it's often if you need to see a specialist, then
Speaker 2: you want the choice of your own specialist that you
Speaker 2: need to have private health insurance.
Speaker 15: Well, this kind of initial consultation where you go into
Speaker 15: the rooms or the clinics that's not covered by private
Speaker 15: health insurance. Down the track, if you go in through
Speaker 15: the Ustrian a lot of treat mozillos, Well, that's right,
Speaker 15: that'll be covered. So you're right, this isn't covered. But
Speaker 15: what's the big challenges? You have those eyewatering fees which
Speaker 15: many people can't afford, but then on the public side
Speaker 15: you're often faced with really long wait times. It can
Speaker 15: be months or even a year until you can get in.
Speaker 15: So we think that governments need to take action on
Speaker 15: both sides. They need to crack down on those really
Speaker 15: extreme fees when they're unreasonable, but they also need to
Speaker 15: boost that public capacity because we found that many of
Speaker 15: the communities with the least care, that's where you don't
Speaker 15: see the public system stepping into fill.
Speaker 2: The gap when it comes to the specialists and what
Speaker 2: they're charging, and effectively you're alleging that they're overcharging. Is
Speaker 2: that a simple matter of supply and demand that there
Speaker 2: aren't enough specialists in those areas that are needed.
Speaker 15: That's a big underlying reason. So for many types of
Speaker 15: specialists like psychiatrists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists. There's been an undersupply for
Speaker 15: decades now and still they're training at below the average
Speaker 15: rate for the specialists and below the rates for GPS,
Speaker 15: so we do need to fix that. Currently the government
Speaker 15: hasn't got a set of targets or numbers we need
Speaker 15: to train, you know. And the other party is training
Speaker 15: people in rural areas is really important to make sure
Speaker 15: they stay there and continue to write care in those communities.
Speaker 15: So we said governments need to come up with those
Speaker 15: plans and say how many are needed in the city
Speaker 15: and in the country, and then they need to tie
Speaker 15: the training money that goes to public hospitals to train
Speaker 15: the specialists to hitting those target but it's currently the
Speaker 15: training front then comes without those strings attached.
Speaker 2: Well, good on you for raising this because it's an
Speaker 2: issue that we need to address. Thank you, Peter. Thank
Speaker 2: you Peter Bretton from the Gratin Institute. But keen to
Speaker 2: hear from you on this one three one, eight, seven three.
Speaker 2: Have you needed to see a specialist of late? How
Speaker 2: much does it actually cost you what was covered by Medicare?
Speaker 2: And do you then think twice about seeking that treatment
Speaker 2: that you really need? Let me know you can send
Speaker 2: me a text message zero four s X zero eight
Speaker 2: seven three eight seven three.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 5: GB com now one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get the latest on this unfolding situation at
Speaker 2: Auburn where three people, two men and a woman have
Speaker 2: been shot. The Acting Commissioner, Peter third Hill joins us,
Speaker 2: thank you for your time, Acting Commissioner.
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Clinton.
Speaker 2: This is obviously so disturbing because it has occurred in
Speaker 2: Daylight South Parade, Auburn. Just firstly, the three victims. What's
Speaker 2: their condition at the moment.
Speaker 11: We do know that a twenty six year old male
Speaker 11: has been shot in the arm and shoulder, Another unidentified
Speaker 11: male has been shot in the face, and a fifty
Speaker 11: year old employee, female employee of the shop in which
Speaker 11: the shooting has occurred, was shot twice in the torso
Speaker 11: all three are in hospital. I do know that the
Speaker 11: police have spoken to the female, but at this stage
Speaker 11: unaware if they've spoken to the two men.
Speaker 2: The police talking to her is hopefully a positive sign. Peter,
Speaker 2: just explain to me what happened once your office has
Speaker 2: got the call.
Speaker 11: So about one ten pm this afternoon, two mass gunmen
Speaker 11: walked into a kebab shop in Auburn and moved to
Speaker 11: the back of the shop. What I'm told is that
Speaker 11: eight shots were fired in the rear of the shop,
Speaker 11: hitting the three victims. Following the shootings, they did try
Speaker 11: and get into an office in the shop as well, unsuccessfully,
Speaker 11: and then left in a black oudy vehicle that was
Speaker 11: bearing Clone plates. Obviously, police deployed straight away, including investigators
Speaker 11: from Task Force Falcon. We've got lots of police on
Speaker 11: the ground there, including our forensic police and our investigators.
Speaker 11: As you started off by saying, this is a shocking
Speaker 11: broad daylight attack and it's unacceptable in a city like Sydney,
Speaker 11: we won't accept this. There were innocent people in and
Speaker 11: around the facility while people are brandishing firearms and these
Speaker 11: gang related shootings have got to stop, and we're doing
Speaker 11: everything we can to make sure that happens.
Speaker 2: And what's most unaccepted, I think it'd agrees the fact
Speaker 2: that it's now been identified by yourself and the Police
Speaker 2: Minister that the fifty year old woman is not believed
Speaker 2: to be a target of this. She is believed to
Speaker 2: be an innocent person.
Speaker 11: My information is that she's an employee in the shop.
Speaker 11: So yes, you're right, we don't believe that she was
Speaker 11: an intended target. But as I started off many of
Speaker 11: the other interviews I've done today by saying, this is
Speaker 11: early days of what will end up being a major
Speaker 11: criminal investigation.
Speaker 2: The twenty six year old man who you mentioned in
Speaker 2: your press conference had reported to bail today. What can
Speaker 2: you tell us about him?
Speaker 11: So that twenty six year old male is obviously clearly
Speaker 11: known to police. He did report to bail about an
Speaker 11: hour beforehand to all the police station. He's had two
Speaker 11: previous attempts on his life, and we spoke to him
Speaker 11: as recently as Friday. So the fact that he was
Speaker 11: out and about is disturbing in itself. But obviously people
Speaker 11: know where he is and they've found him on two
Speaker 11: previous occasions, and on this occasion they've managed to shoot
Speaker 11: him twice. And as I said, he's now in hospital, as.
Speaker 2: Has been reported in the Telegraph this afternoon. When he
Speaker 2: appeared in court after the shooting in May, the prosecutors
Speaker 2: they argued against bail because, to quote them, he was
Speaker 2: at the EPI center of gangland tensions in Sydney. How
Speaker 2: can we allow somebody like that to be out.
Speaker 11: Well, we're dealing with them when they are out, and obviously,
Speaker 11: now this is a matter for us to investigate the
Speaker 11: actual shooting and try and apprehend those responsible. You must
Speaker 11: be tearing a hair which we spend way beyond the
Speaker 11: two shooters. Obviously, the Tannagles go right into organized crime.
Speaker 2: You must be tearing your hair out that you identify
Speaker 2: who is at the center of this gang land war.
Speaker 2: They appear before the courts, you charge them, and then
Speaker 2: they get let out.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Well, all I can say is it's our job to
Speaker 11: enforce the law and that's the matter for the bail
Speaker 11: is a matter for the court. As you said, we
Speaker 11: argued strongly that bail wasn't appropriate, but the court's granted
Speaker 11: bail on this occasion.
Speaker 2: There are some reports in one of the papers there
Speaker 2: is a fourth person who's been taken to hospital in
Speaker 2: a stable conditioner. You're able to confirm that.
Speaker 11: What I can say is that I'm told several doors
Speaker 11: up a lady, a pregnant lady, went into labor.
Speaker 1: As far as I'm.
Speaker 11: Aware, there's no connection between the shooting and the lady
Speaker 11: going into labor unless the shock of the whole incident
Speaker 11: played some role, but I don't know that that's a
Speaker 11: fact at all.
Speaker 2: But you know what this does demonstrate that you've got Ashfield,
Speaker 2: it's such a busy area, it's in a place like this,
Speaker 2: You've got so many people who are in the streets,
Speaker 2: and you've had an innocent person who's been shot inside
Speaker 2: the kebab shop. This just demonstrates the danger of this
Speaker 2: gang will being played out in broad daylight.
Speaker 11: That's exactly right. And these offenders, these organized crime networks,
Speaker 11: whilst they target themselves and they'll target rivals, they don't
Speaker 11: really care that other people are in fear when they
Speaker 11: brandish firearms in the area or in the public places.
Speaker 11: They don't really care about the law. And it's our
Speaker 11: job to make sure that.
Speaker 2: We lock them up. Okay, now you've got officers on
Speaker 2: the ground now looking for these offenders and that's audi
Speaker 2: that they escaped in Thank you for your time, Acting Commissioner,
Speaker 2: Thanks Clinton. Acting Police commission Peter Thirtel. Now you understand
Speaker 2: he is limited in what he can say legally about
Speaker 2: the issues before the court. But one of the people
Speaker 2: who has been shot here and this has now been
Speaker 2: confirmed by the police. Was before court in May because
Speaker 2: he was shot at on the twenty fifth of May,
Speaker 2: and police supposed bail because he was then charged with
Speaker 2: having a fire rum. Please opposed bail because they said
Speaker 2: he was the epicenter of this whole gangland war. And
Speaker 2: the courts let him out. And now you see what happens.
Speaker 2: One of the gangs who's after him goes after him
Speaker 2: in the middle of Auburn South Parade, middle of the
Speaker 2: day in the kebab shop and you've got somebody working
Speaker 2: behind the counter there, this fifty year old lady who's
Speaker 2: shot in the stomach as a result. That's why the
Speaker 2: magistrates and the judges and Chris Mins needs to do
Speaker 2: something about the way they enforce these laws. People like
Speaker 2: that should not be given bail. Twenty two past four,
Speaker 2: Twogb's Winter Wheel coming up. Still in the program. I'm
Speaker 2: going to give you the chance to win big. Now.
Speaker 2: I've got a feeling we're going to hit the jackpot today.
Speaker 2: There's some fabulous prizes on the wheel. I just had
Speaker 2: a practice spin during the break there and I spun
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred, so I'm pretty good at spinning it. Now.
Speaker 2: There is a prize of two and a half thousand
Speaker 2: dollars on the wheel today. Some great prizes as well.
Speaker 2: I've got a good feeling when you played the two
Speaker 2: GB Winter Wheel a little later in the program. Given
Speaker 2: IM pretty good. It's spinning the wheel. You've got a
Speaker 2: big chance to win, up really big here. Keep listening,
Speaker 2: don't call yet, keep listening in the program for your
Speaker 2: chance to win.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard on two
Speaker 5: GB com now one three to one peat seven three.
Speaker 2: We've just had confirmation from the Assistant Commissioner Police Commission
Speaker 2: Peter Thurtel that a fourth person is now in hospital
Speaker 2: following the shooting at Auburn, but it's not believed this
Speaker 2: person is linked to the shooting. It was somebody who
Speaker 2: was in a shop a couple of shops away from
Speaker 2: the kebab shop where three people have been shot, who
Speaker 2: was heavily pregnant and then went to the labor But
Speaker 2: as you well know, when you are in the late
Speaker 2: stages of pregnancy, something can shock you and can can
Speaker 2: trigger labor. Eight shots were fired inside the kebab shop
Speaker 2: where two men and an innocent woman have been shot.
Speaker 2: It might well, be that the fright of hearing those shots.
Speaker 2: Those shots have put this woman in triggered labor. She's
Speaker 2: now in hospital and hopefully she's going to be okay.
Speaker 2: One three, one eight seven three is our number. We're
Speaker 2: talking about gap coverage with specialists when you need treatment,
Speaker 2: and whether your private health insurance covers the surgery that
Speaker 2: you need, whether Medicare covers what you need in hospital. Debra,
Speaker 2: what's your experience being Deborah?
Speaker 16: Oh, Crenton, don't stop me. This is the most frustrating thing.
Speaker 16: I believe you damned if you do, and you damned
Speaker 16: if you don't. When you're young, as you would understand
Speaker 16: with young children, it is necessary to have private health
Speaker 16: insurance because not only surgery, but you know there's dental glasses,
Speaker 16: et cetera, et cetera. And when you're older, it is
Speaker 16: surgery like keap replacements or knees or whatever. We and
Speaker 16: I'm sure everybody's the same child or we did reduce
Speaker 16: our premium by increasing our access when my husband had
Speaker 16: a backup a couple of years ago. So the benefit
Speaker 16: you receive or the surgeon received, is what the government
Speaker 16: deems to be the amount for that surgery. So let's
Speaker 16: just talk about a hip replacement, for instance. So that's
Speaker 16: two thousand dollars, say that's what they're okay, but your
Speaker 16: surgeon charges seven thousand dollars, so you're going to be
Speaker 16: out of pocket about five thousand. Are you have a
Speaker 16: choice to whom you wish to do it or you
Speaker 16: will understand that however, whatever, nobody there are very few
Speaker 16: surgeons that charge the specified or allocated amount by the government.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that's a big problem, Debora. And then if
Speaker 2: you do choose to completely go in the public system,
Speaker 2: you have to wait. Figures were released last week from
Speaker 2: the Bureau of Health Information that shows the number of
Speaker 2: people waiting longer than the recommended time has gone through
Speaker 2: the roof just in the last couple of months. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry to here you've been through that experience, Debra. Maureen says,
Speaker 2: I'd like to actually have spinal surgery. I really need
Speaker 2: spinal surgery, but eleven thousand dos a pocket with a
Speaker 2: good surgeon. Dees, what's your experience been, Dez.
Speaker 6: I just love your show. In two thy and fourteen,
Speaker 6: I received bowel cancer and I had the bowl cancer
Speaker 6: treated and fixed. Then after in two thousand and eight
Speaker 6: in a lump turned up on my left lung and
Speaker 6: they said I had to have a biopsy, which I
Speaker 6: had in Barrel, and then they found out that I
Speaker 6: had a bit of cancer in the left lung. I
Speaker 6: went to Saint George Private, which I am in a
Speaker 6: private health cover and the operation and the chemo cost
Speaker 6: me eighteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. But you know you're going to be paying anything
Speaker 2: you can to save your life in that situation. But
Speaker 2: it shouldn't come down to that. I'm sorry you've been
Speaker 2: through that situation. Dez one three, eight seventy three. We
Speaker 2: can take some more calls in this a little later
Speaker 2: as well. Coming up straight shoot at Craig Laundy. How
Speaker 2: long do you think Craig can hold a plank for?
Speaker 2: In fact, do you know what holding a plank is?
Speaker 2: I'll explain that.
Speaker 10: The latest cake for what good afternoon. Clinton Police say
Speaker 10: a twenty six year old man targeted in a kebab
Speaker 10: shop shooting has already had two attempts made on his life.
Speaker 10: A worker is among those injured at Auburn, the woman
Speaker 10: shot twice in the torso. Another three people have been
Speaker 10: charged accused of selling fake cocaine to criminal gangs across
Speaker 10: the city to men already before the courts. The Israeli
Speaker 10: Air Force has attacked the Iranian command center as fighting
Speaker 10: escalates in the Middle East. Six hundred and fifty Australians
Speaker 10: of contact to the government seeking help to leave the region,
Speaker 10: and the Corporate Watchdog has launched an inquiry into the
Speaker 10: ASX over what it claims are repeated and serious failures.
Speaker 10: ASIK says it's investigating the Australian Security Exchange's risk management,
Speaker 10: capability and governance. In Sport Lando, Norris has taken full
Speaker 10: responsibility for a collision with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastre in
Speaker 10: the Canadian Formula one Grand Prix. Norris crashed out while
Speaker 10: Piastre finished fourth. George Russell took the checkered flag. Clinton
Speaker 10: More News at five k.
Speaker 2: Kat fourteen degrees in the coast. It's sixteen degrees in
Speaker 2: Penrith at the moment. We've been talking on the program
Speaker 2: about the future of department stores. We've had confirmation today
Speaker 2: that David Jones will close their Castle Towers stores mid
Speaker 2: next year. In fact, their tug restore on the Central
Speaker 2: Coast is going to close at the beginning of next year.
Speaker 2: In January, Gary says, I don't go to David Jones
Speaker 2: or Meyer as I can't get any service. Even if
Speaker 2: you turn up to the counter, they don't serve you
Speaker 2: because they're staff are in different department. This one also
Speaker 2: about Castle Hill, the Castle Towers, David Jones. This says, Look,
Speaker 2: it's not just because of online shopping. Unreasonable rent has
Speaker 2: a lot to do with it and lease expectations from
Speaker 2: the company that manages the building at Castle Towers. Look,
Speaker 2: it's very difficult when a company like David Jones has
Speaker 2: to compete with the online retailer and they do have
Speaker 2: issues with high rents. Now, just talking about shopping. So
Speaker 2: I was walking through Pitt Street More this morning was
Speaker 2: really cold.
Speaker 1: I had the big wooly jacket on.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I noticed there was about, no exaggeration, three hundred
Speaker 2: people lined up outside a shop and the store was
Speaker 2: Pop Mart. Now, I've never been into a pop Mart's store,
Speaker 2: but I went and had a look. So what pop
Speaker 2: marts sell? Are these things called la boo boos? Now,
Speaker 2: I've had people ask us off theair, what's a laboo boo? Well,
Speaker 2: apparently this is the latest craze sweeping the world. A
Speaker 2: La Boo Boo is a stuffed toy very popular in
Speaker 2: parts of Asia, particularly China, and I think that the
Speaker 2: really popular ones are just on key chains and people
Speaker 2: collect them on key chains, and you can pay an
Speaker 2: enormous amount of money for the very popular ones. So
Speaker 2: what was happening today in the Pittstree More Maybe you're wondering.
Speaker 2: There was a special edition collectible Labooboo being released and
Speaker 2: despite the fact was freezing cold, you had hundreds of
Speaker 2: people actually lining up so they could buy themselves a
Speaker 2: La Boo Boo. At the same time, a Chinese bank,
Speaker 2: PingER Bank they're based in Sheshuan in China, has been
Speaker 2: told by the regulators in Beijing they must stop enticing
Speaker 2: new customers by offering them free La Boo boos. They've
Speaker 2: been running a promotion the Wooden Award. New customers who
Speaker 2: deposit leave seven thousand dollars and keep it in their
Speaker 2: account for three months with a La Boo boo. So
Speaker 2: bad luck to those Chinese bank customers. Maybe they jumped
Speaker 2: on a jet and were lined up outside the PopMart
Speaker 2: store in Pittstreet, Sydney. You can tell me what the
Speaker 2: fascination with le boo boos is. I don't get it,
Speaker 2: but they probably not meant to appear to a forty
Speaker 2: nine year old Blake one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: We are also talking about issues with health insurance and
Speaker 2: increasing gaps. Brendan's Indoreland.
Speaker 17: Hello Brendan, Hi, Cleenslin, thank you for addressing this issue.
Speaker 17: My son, he's sixteen. He's been told he needs to
Speaker 17: have jaw surgery to fix his fighter. The surgery total
Speaker 17: cost is twenty thousand dollars. Out of that, between the
Speaker 17: health insurance and Medicare pays a total of two thousand dollars,
Speaker 17: So we have eighteen thousand eight BAP plus the anethesis
Speaker 17: plus the hospital out of pocket as well.
Speaker 2: And if he doesn't have that surgery, what's the likelihood
Speaker 2: of him suffering issues down the track.
Speaker 17: Well, there is a real issue there with the saying
Speaker 17: that there's further health complications because of the way his
Speaker 17: mouth has developed in the bite process, that he will
Speaker 17: always have drawer issues his teeth or lot because they're
Speaker 17: not aligning properly. But what's even worse, my son has
Speaker 17: now turned around to him said, Dad, don't bother doing that.
Speaker 17: I'm not worth it.
Speaker 2: That's heartbreaking, Brandan, and probably is a a dad. You'll
Speaker 2: do whatever it takes to help your son.
Speaker 17: Of course, we'll make sure he gets the surgery. And
Speaker 17: then we were told by the surgeons that to expect
Speaker 17: between four to five years if we do a public yeah,
Speaker 17: which expect that it won't be done by the actual surgeon.
Speaker 17: It will be done by a registrar instead.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: And you've got to wait that four to five years,
Speaker 2: and goodness knows what happens in the meantime. I feel
Speaker 2: for you, Brendan. My son this afternoon, fourteen year old
Speaker 2: Nicholas is at the orthodontist. He's probably been in the
Speaker 2: last hour. He's having braces put on today. Now he's
Speaker 2: the third of my children to have braces. And as
Speaker 2: you know, and this does go back to when we
Speaker 2: were kids as well. It is a small fortune. And
Speaker 2: we've got private health insurance and fortunate enough to have
Speaker 2: private health insurance. I'd say the private health insurance over
Speaker 2: the years has probably only covered about twenty five percent,
Speaker 2: but we've just copped it. My kids. They need the
Speaker 2: braces because my son has the overlight problem like Brendan's
Speaker 2: son does. And as a dad, you do whatever takes
Speaker 2: for your kids, even it means going into debt on
Speaker 2: the credit card or through your mortgage or whatever. But
Speaker 2: there's got to be a there's got to be an
Speaker 2: easier way through all this. Billy's anilla one. Hello, Billy,
Speaker 2: what's your experience? Boon mate?
Speaker 18: Look on seventy About twelve years ago, I had a
Speaker 18: sixth centematter brain firmer pop up in my head and
Speaker 18: I'm in private and all that. Anyhow, I didn't have
Speaker 18: had aches. I don't get them now. I'm fortunate that way.
Speaker 18: It was seven and a half hour operation at Saint George,
Speaker 18: and me and the bride sort of went well, we've
Speaker 18: been fifty years together now, and we went in there
Speaker 18: and I said, oh, well, see what we're going to
Speaker 18: be up for, and the secretary turned around. I can't
Speaker 18: mention his name, can I shows too? He's a neurosurgeon.
Speaker 18: And anyhow, she said, doctor's happy with what the government
Speaker 18: gives him. What you're up for is five hundred dollars
Speaker 18: for the nursiss and me and the bride worked that
Speaker 18: wore damn. We're just gob smacked like We're in a
Speaker 18: fortunate situation where whatever it was, we're okay with us.
Speaker 18: But it was five hundred dollars. It was twelve.
Speaker 2: Years ago, and reality is things have got a lot
Speaker 2: worse since then.
Speaker 1: Billy.
Speaker 2: I'm glad to see that was twelve years ago because
Speaker 2: it means you know, you're doing really well. But I
Speaker 2: know this has been a debate that's been going on
Speaker 2: for years. There's just got to be a better way
Speaker 2: around it. It's eighteen to five. Congratulations to Ash Barty,
Speaker 2: the Aussie tennis legend. She's announced the birth of her
Speaker 2: second child today. She has posted on social media a
Speaker 2: photo of her daughter, Jordan Welcome to the world. Jordan
Speaker 2: Barty has posted, you were loved unconditionally. We are so
Speaker 2: grateful to have you in our arms. Gorgeous girl. She
Speaker 2: is the little sister of Hayden, who was born in
Speaker 2: July of twenty twenty three. Now, Roger didn't get the memo.
Speaker 2: Roger says Shane Dowan Gisberg and is not an AUSSI.
Speaker 2: He's a KeyWe He's won in Nascart earlier this morning.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to MG about that. No, you missed the memo, Roger,
Speaker 2: Any key we who wins is actually an Aussie.
Speaker 1: On Sydney Now you can't handle the truth.
Speaker 2: The streets too, our straight shooter on a Monday afternoons,
Speaker 2: Craig Laundy of course from the Laundy Hotel's Empire and
Speaker 2: former Federal MP Gooday.
Speaker 19: Craig how I Caughton, how are you mate?
Speaker 2: She so much to keep up with the moment, with
Speaker 2: what's unfolding in the Middle East and overseas, and of
Speaker 2: course when things develop, will bring those to you. This
Speaker 2: afternoon between the Israelis and the Iranians. Now, I was
Speaker 2: intrigued to hear one of your former liberal colleagues, Andrew
Speaker 2: Bragg on the Today Show this morning, with his perspective
Speaker 2: on this, and I want you, I want you to
Speaker 2: have a listen to this. This is Andrew Bragg.
Speaker 20: Today, Aaran wants a nuclear weapon to wife Israel off
Speaker 20: the map.
Speaker 1: If we were in Israel's shoes, we.
Speaker 20: Would not tolerate a country nearby us getting a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 20: And so I think Israel is trying to stop that
Speaker 20: from happening. That's a good thing for humanity because these
Speaker 20: guys are the worst regime anywhere on the planet. These
Speaker 20: are seriously bad people and they should never be given
Speaker 20: opportunity to have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 2: Andrew Bragg says the Israelis are doing the rest of
Speaker 2: us the world of favor by taking his action. What's
Speaker 2: your view.
Speaker 19: I think he's stating the position that would be held
Speaker 19: by most mainstream Australians. This is a terror state that
Speaker 19: in the last eighteen months has had its proxies. It's
Speaker 19: always stood in the shadows and Backez bala Hamas the youths,
Speaker 19: the Syrian regime, all of those regimes. Israel in the
Speaker 19: last eighteen months has completely dismantled and has taken the
Speaker 19: opportunity to not stop there, it would appear. And the
Speaker 19: part off on most interesting Clinton is that whilst they
Speaker 19: clearly need to go in and make sure that there's
Speaker 19: no nuclear capability, especially considering that you know it's widely
Speaker 19: considered that it is imminent, but they haven't just done that.
Speaker 19: They've gone in there and they've decimated the leadership of
Speaker 19: the Republican Guard and their nuclear department. At the same time,
Speaker 19: I wouldn't mind betting that in their minds, Regene change,
Speaker 19: given that this is an oppressive Islamic Republic where it is.
Speaker 19: Change in the actual leadership of the country could be
Speaker 19: an ulterior motive that they're not speaking about public life.
Speaker 2: I read an article last night. It was published on
Speaker 2: the Cydney Morning Hera website, but it was syndicated from
Speaker 2: New York. It was either Bloomberg's or maybe New York Times,
Speaker 2: and it featured quotes from Iranian people in Tyrne, the capitol,
Speaker 2: and these particular people were saying, now, while we don't
Speaker 2: like Israel, we actually think what's happening at the moment
Speaker 2: can be a good thing as long as we're safe.
Speaker 2: Because these particular people in government, where it's that the
Speaker 2: heads of the Revolutionary Garda or others are damaging to us.
Speaker 2: These Irayan people, yes, and don't forget too.
Speaker 19: It's not widely publicized because they control the media so strongly.
Speaker 19: But in September last year, after they lost their president
Speaker 19: in a helicopter crash, for the first time ever, a modernist,
Speaker 19: a popularist president was elected against a hard liner that
Speaker 19: had the backing of the regime. So in the undercurrent,
Speaker 19: you can't talk publicly over there, obviously because they're completely oppressed.
Speaker 19: But you know, and I'm sure this is in the
Speaker 19: back of the Israeli's mind. Now the question becomes, you know,
Speaker 19: when you get ragine change in the Middle East, historically
Speaker 19: you get great uncertainty. You only have to look to
Speaker 19: Syria in the last twelve months to see that. And
Speaker 19: you know there are plenty of examples. But I wouldn't
Speaker 19: mind betting and Andrew Braggs sort of half went there
Speaker 19: this morning. I wouldn't mind betting that Israel may have
Speaker 19: this in the back of their mind.
Speaker 2: Absolutely wanted to talk to you about what you're experiencing
Speaker 2: in the laundie hotels at the moment. Now that we're
Speaker 2: in the winter and it was freezing this morning, how
Speaker 2: does the transition in a business, a hospitality business like
Speaker 2: a pub, how does the transition in trade go from
Speaker 2: autumn to suddenly being quite cold with the start of winter.
Speaker 19: And Quinton, it's so funny because you can basically set
Speaker 19: your watch by the frequency. And this year is probably
Speaker 19: even worse because we had if you cast your mind
Speaker 19: back to May, we had a very mild May. Absolutely,
Speaker 19: but it's dropped off a cliff in June. Now what
Speaker 19: we see the same time every year we panic in
Speaker 19: business because we think, oh my God, everyone, you know,
Speaker 19: where's everyone gone? But when you look back at the
Speaker 19: corresponding period last year, the year before the year before that,
Speaker 19: it takes a few weeks to get used to the cold.
Speaker 19: And basically I think it takes people a few weeks
Speaker 19: to get used to rugging up and getting back outside.
Speaker 2: So do you reckon? So do you see people don't
Speaker 2: come out to the pub as much because they don't
Speaker 2: want to leave the house. In the first few weeks
Speaker 2: of winter, yes.
Speaker 19: Our trade definitely dips by around fifteen to twenty percent,
Speaker 19: and then it picks back up again towards the end
Speaker 19: of June. It's a two to three week period and
Speaker 19: it normally corresponds with the first two to three weeks
Speaker 19: in June. But once people get over the shock of
Speaker 19: having to layer up and throw a jacket on, we
Speaker 19: see the trade come back.
Speaker 2: It's interesting to throw that after our listeners one, three, one, eight,
Speaker 2: seven three. First few weeks of winter, do you spend
Speaker 2: more time at home because you don't want to get
Speaker 2: outside because it's cold? And then eventually you get.
Speaker 1: Used to it.
Speaker 2: I mean, interestingly, I went to my local which is
Speaker 2: known by your company, Craigar last weekend for the long
Speaker 2: weekend on the Sunday night, and we just went to
Speaker 2: the Best with my wife and one of my kids
Speaker 2: for a meal and I didn't book and I said
Speaker 2: to Cas, We're not going to need the book on
Speaker 2: a Sunday night, please, There's plenty of room in that bistro.
Speaker 2: We got there, we had to beg for a table.
Speaker 2: It was actually choppers on the Sunday night.
Speaker 19: Wow, Well, that's that's I would argue that that's specific
Speaker 19: to that site because I can tell you that I
Speaker 19: talked to a lot of colleagues at the moment or
Speaker 19: we've founder definitely dipped it all start to pick back
Speaker 19: up again, as I say in the next in the
Speaker 19: coming couple of weeks, but it does historically that that
Speaker 19: seems to be the trend.
Speaker 2: Now, there was a story today in the Telegraph, and
Speaker 2: they've been featuring all the health stories in the paper
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, and this was on planking.
Speaker 2: Now I don't mean planking, which was a bit of
Speaker 2: one of those stunts that people were doing on balconies
Speaker 2: of high Rose hotels at one point. Planking or holding
Speaker 2: a plank is something you can do for your fitness,
Speaker 2: to boost your metabolism, improve your posture, Can you plank?
Speaker 11: Clinton?
Speaker 19: I read that story and got the heads up that
Speaker 19: you were going to me about it, so I went
Speaker 19: to the trouble of getting my wife sus to get
Speaker 19: the camera out. Yes, and I read in the article
Speaker 19: on fifty four, so I should be somewhere between the
Speaker 19: thirty to sixty second mark, and your producer in has
Speaker 19: videograph videographic proof. Okay, that I got to sixty seconds
Speaker 19: and then let it go. I could have gone a
Speaker 19: little longer, but according to the Telegraph, I'm right in
Speaker 19: the sweet spot for my agent.
Speaker 2: Well, well, let's see that. Let's hear that. This is
Speaker 2: Craig Lorndi, former MP planking.
Speaker 11: Okay, fifty four year old plank ten seconds who you
Speaker 11: started to get a bit.
Speaker 14: Shakyably twenty seconds, thirty seconds up?
Speaker 1: Up she is shaking nearly a minute. Keep going? Why
Speaker 1: because that's all I been today?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Okay, a minute, yep, that's good.
Speaker 1: One I six.
Speaker 21: Well, I'm in the target demographic.
Speaker 2: It's just thirty to sixty, So just describe what you're
Speaker 2: doing there. For those that haven't performed a plank, it's look,
Speaker 2: it's like you're going to do a push up, but
Speaker 2: you just hold yourself.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you're on your elbows with obviously your forearms flat
Speaker 19: to the ground. You start on your knees and then
Speaker 19: you've got your paunches your feet. You lift up and
Speaker 19: basically you're using your abdomen abdomen to keep perpendicular or
Speaker 19: past sorry, parallel to the ground and you're basically your
Speaker 19: core has got to hold you up for that time
Speaker 19: and it is not.
Speaker 2: Bloody Well, I'm just in my forty so I should
Speaker 2: be able to do it for a minute.
Speaker 1: Apparently, there you go.
Speaker 19: We'll have it, put a video and.
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe tonight, Craig, we chat next week.
Speaker 19: Good on your thanks Quint and cheers mate.
Speaker 2: Craig Lawndy.
Speaker 5: This this Sydney Now Whip Clintlin ont GB well as
Speaker 5: the sun goes down across Sydney at the moment, police
Speaker 5: are looking for two gunmen.
Speaker 2: Two gunmen responsible for terror in broad daylight in Auburn
Speaker 2: this afternoon. Three people have been shot. Another person's also
Speaker 2: in hospital. One of the people's shop at the Brothers
Speaker 2: Kebab Shop, the m Brother's Kebab Shop, South Parade, Auburn
Speaker 2: is completely innocent. Another man has been targeted in two
Speaker 2: previous shootings. This is clearly related to Sydney's gang war
Speaker 2: that's unfolding on our streets and is claiming innocent victims. Now,
Speaker 2: the condition of these three people in the hospital is critical.
Speaker 2: I spoke with the acting Police Commissioner, Peter Thirtill a
Speaker 2: little earlier in the program. He explains what happened.
Speaker 11: So about one ten pm this afternoon, two mass gunmen
Speaker 11: walked into a kebab shop in Auburn and moved to
Speaker 11: the back of the shop. What I'm told is that
Speaker 11: eight shots were fired in the rear of the shop,
Speaker 11: hitting the three victims. Following the shootings, they did try
Speaker 11: and get into an office in the shop as well, unsuccessfully,
Speaker 11: and then left in a black Audi vehicle that was
Speaker 11: bearing clone plate.
Speaker 2: Now, this is what is truly horrifying. As we've been
Speaker 2: reporting throughout the program. One of the victims is truly innocent,
Speaker 2: a lady who was working at that kebab store.
Speaker 11: My information is that she's an employee in the shop,
Speaker 11: so yes, you're right, we don't believe that she was
Speaker 11: an intended target. But as I started off, many of
Speaker 11: the other interviews I've done today by saying this is
Speaker 11: early days of what will end up being a major
Speaker 11: criminal investigation.
Speaker 2: And the acting Commission to confirm to us a fourth
Speaker 2: person has been taken to hospital.
Speaker 11: What I can say is that I'm told several doors
Speaker 11: up a lady, a pregnant lady, went into labor. As
Speaker 11: far as I'm aware, there's no connection between the shooting
Speaker 11: and the lady going into labor, unless the shock of
Speaker 11: the whole incident played some role, but I don't know
Speaker 11: that that's a.
Speaker 1: Fact at all.
Speaker 2: Let's cross straight out to Auburn. Josh Bryant is on
Speaker 2: the scene at the moment. Josh, what can you tell
Speaker 2: us what's happening there now?
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Pinton. Yes, obviously we're right next to the
Speaker 3: train station here in Auburn. The police tape right on
Speaker 3: the South Parade exit. So many people arriving home from
Speaker 3: work learning what's happening from either other bystanders or the
Speaker 3: police when they try to walk up this crime scene
Speaker 3: still in place now. The larger crowd that had formed
Speaker 3: when I first arrived here a few hours ago has
Speaker 3: largely dispersed, but obviously many people expressing their shock when
Speaker 3: they realized, oh, you know, maybe some frustration when they
Speaker 3: realize they can't walk up the street, but then it's
Speaker 3: obvious shock and sadness when they learn that the reason
Speaker 3: they can't is because three people were shot here in
Speaker 3: the middle of the day. So police still on the
Speaker 3: scene and people, as I say, being met with sort
Speaker 3: of confusion and then surprise or shot when they find
Speaker 3: out what has happened here. Being told obviously it will
Speaker 3: be some time and police can't give a timeline for
Speaker 3: when these crime scene investigations will be completed because as
Speaker 3: we know, they'll be doing whatever they can to track
Speaker 3: down those responsible, so they'll be taking every precaution and
Speaker 3: getting every bit of evidence that they can from this scene.
Speaker 2: And the police are confirmed to us that after the
Speaker 2: shots were fired, eight shots rung out inside the kebab shot.
Speaker 2: The two mass men have tried to ram themselves getting
Speaker 2: themselves into an office, so clearly they were after something
Speaker 2: at that kebab shop. Josh on the scene there and
Speaker 2: they're obviously still police. There is there any indication about
Speaker 2: what's taking place with the hunt for these two.
Speaker 3: Gunmen, No, there's no signs. We haven't seen patrol cars
Speaker 3: moving or As far as we're aware, we haven't had
Speaker 3: any indication of movement to suggest that there is a
Speaker 3: movement of the officers that are here as part of
Speaker 3: that investigation. Those officers that are here obviously sitting about
Speaker 3: making sure that the public knows what's going on and
Speaker 3: that this crime scene has kept contained. As you say,
Speaker 3: that's not to say that they aren't carrying out other
Speaker 3: investigations elsewhere as part of Task Force Falcon and this
Speaker 3: specific investigation.
Speaker 2: Josh will come back to you before the end of
Speaker 2: the program if there are any developments. Thank you, Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Josh Bryan our report on the scene. He's in Auburn
Speaker 2: South Parade near the m Brothers kabab shop where the
Speaker 2: shooting has taken place now. As the acting Police commission
Speaker 2: Peter Thurtell confirmed to me a little earlier, one of
Speaker 2: the victims is a twenty six year old man who
Speaker 2: has been shot in the arm and the shoulder. This
Speaker 2: twenty six year old man is being named across the
Speaker 2: press now as Sam Azari. The Deputy Police Commissioner confirmed
Speaker 2: to me that he has been the subject of two
Speaker 2: attempted shootings where he's the victim previously. Now in one
Speaker 2: of those cases. He himself was charged because police then
Speaker 2: searched a car that he was in and they found
Speaker 2: an unauthorized gun. So he then faced paramounta local court
Speaker 2: and the police prosecutors opposed bail on this bloke. They
Speaker 2: opposed bail because they warned the court that he was
Speaker 2: the quote EPI center of gangland tensions in Sydney. However,
Speaker 2: the magistrate on the day this is on the twenty
Speaker 2: sixth of May, decided to set him free. So despite
Speaker 2: the fact the police have outline that this bloke has
Speaker 2: been targeted twice and is accused of holding a weapon,
Speaker 2: he was allowed to go free. And so what's transpired today?
Speaker 2: In broad daylight one fifteen in the afternoon, busy South Parade.
Speaker 2: You've got people going about their everyday business are as
Speaker 2: a fruit shop nearby, there's a tobacconist, there are other
Speaker 2: general stores in this strip. You've got a lady working
Speaker 2: behind the counter making kebabs, and these two mass government
Speaker 2: burst in clearly looking for somebody. Well, that somebody is
Speaker 2: likely to be Azari, who was on bail and only
Speaker 2: reported for bail a couple of days ago to the
Speaker 2: police that Azari is a man police said should be
Speaker 2: refused bail because he's at the center of a tit
Speaker 2: for tat gangland war. And now as a result, we
Speaker 2: have seen an innocent person, the lady who is working
Speaker 2: at the kebab shop, shot in the stomach. She's now
Speaker 2: in hospital and our prayers with her.
Speaker 5: If it matters to you, then you'll hear it here
Speaker 5: Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 2: Until said thirteen past five. Earlier in the program, I
Speaker 2: told you about a video that was sent to me
Speaker 2: of teenagers committing just such dangerous highjinks on the Round network.
Speaker 2: It makes you wonder how long it's going to be
Speaker 2: until somebody is killed performing these crazy stunts that are
Speaker 2: being uploaded on the social media. I touched on this
Speaker 2: on Friday and in relation to a thirty three year
Speaker 2: old man who'd been arrested by police involved in several
Speaker 2: chases allegedly on a motorbike where speeds of two hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety nine kilometers now had been reached, and this
Speaker 2: man's accused of filming these chases posting it up on
Speaker 2: social media. But I touched on the issue that the
Speaker 2: police have made a point of pointing out in the
Speaker 2: last couple of years that there's been a big increase
Speaker 2: in the number of teenagers using social media in the
Speaker 2: same way. So not involved in police chases, but involved
Speaker 2: in crazy stunts on the train network. Well, this video
Speaker 2: that was sent to me shows that doesn't show the
Speaker 2: teenage as they're filming the video, but they break into
Speaker 2: a driver's compartment and a train. Now it's the compartment
Speaker 2: that's not used, so it's at the back of the train,
Speaker 2: and then they use a fire extinguisher that they've ripped
Speaker 2: off the wall to then spray out that a retardant
Speaker 2: from the fire Extra English shop and you can then
Speaker 2: see the spray. We'll have this up on our social
Speaker 2: media as well. You can then see the spray shooting
Speaker 2: down the side of the train. Looks like this huge
Speaker 2: cloud of smoke. And then eventually they drop the fire extinguisher,
Speaker 2: big heavy metal fire extinguished or have dropped on the rails.
Speaker 2: So why do they do it. They do it to
Speaker 2: attract likes on social media and it is terrifyingly dangerous
Speaker 2: and something needs to change here. Josh Murray is the
Speaker 2: Transport Secretary in New South Wales.
Speaker 1: Good I Josh high Twinton.
Speaker 2: You've seen footage, the same footage that I've seen the
Speaker 2: day in similar footage. What do you make of it?
Speaker 22: Well, thanks to GB, I've seen that footage today. I've
Speaker 22: seen multiple other clips and reels that have been sent
Speaker 22: to me and that are collected on our CCTV network.
Speaker 22: I mean, it's just sickening when you think of the
Speaker 22: network and the people using that every day to get
Speaker 22: to home, to school, to hospital appointments. You think of
Speaker 22: the staff that are across our network that are their
Speaker 22: first priority is a safe and efficient train network every day,
Speaker 22: and then you think of these people themselves about the
Speaker 22: horror that this could bring to friends and family members
Speaker 22: resulting in death or dismemberment from a life threatening criminal act.
Speaker 22: I mean, it is sickening and it's something that concerns
Speaker 22: all of us at Transport and particularly our Sydney Trains
Speaker 22: and New south West Train week teams.
Speaker 2: I've had people message me today and they did on
Speaker 2: the last Friday when I raised this in the first place, saying, oh,
Speaker 2: this has been going on for years, this was happening
Speaker 2: when with kids. How do you respond to that?
Speaker 22: Look, you know, the rail network across Sydney in particular
Speaker 22: is what we call an open network eight hundred and
Speaker 22: thirteen kilometers covered right now. Today we run three and
Speaker 22: a half thousand services a day. It's obviously not possible
Speaker 22: to have a police officer marching up and down every
Speaker 22: one of those trains, and nor would the community want
Speaker 22: or expect that. Unfortunately, the prevalence of social media uploads
Speaker 22: and likes and the quality of vision that you get
Speaker 22: from your mobile phone in your pocket means that people
Speaker 22: are doing these stunts to fill content, and I do
Speaker 22: think it's getting worse, and it's spreading to other transport
Speaker 22: modes as well.
Speaker 2: And Sir, later either the perpetrator or somebody innocent is
Speaker 2: going to be seriously injured or will die. Josh in
Speaker 2: the video that you've seen today, and you can sit
Speaker 2: on our website to gb dot com. Those filming somehow
Speaker 2: manage to get into one of the driver's compartments.
Speaker 1: How does that happen?
Speaker 22: Look, I want to reassure your listeners that we are
Speaker 22: onto this. Unfortunately, our older train fleet is obviously quite
Speaker 22: vulnerable to break in, and often this happens on the
Speaker 22: silver set cars that people say around the v sets
Speaker 22: and the trains that we are now phasing out of operations.
Speaker 22: So that's the V sets and the case sets, and
Speaker 22: they are over the next twelve months or so being
Speaker 22: phased out of operation. You'll also be aware we're spending
Speaker 22: four hundred and forty million dollars on the Tangara to
Speaker 22: upgrade a number of its operating modes through the train computer,
Speaker 22: but also to refurbish the cabins in a way that
Speaker 22: will help with security. We're also looking at some engineering
Speaker 22: methods which I want to go into the detail of,
Speaker 22: but will help us secure some of those trains against
Speaker 22: break in. The reality is some of those trains are
Speaker 22: thirty years old, they are prone to break in, and
Speaker 22: we spend a lot of taxpayers money reinforcing windows and doors.
Speaker 22: But if people are trying to get in, as I
Speaker 22: say eight hundred and thirteen kilometers, there are points where
Speaker 22: they will go to to try and get on. Now,
Speaker 22: we do have thirteen thousand, thirty and a half thousand
Speaker 22: CCTV cameras, and I can tell you that that incident.
Speaker 18: That you refer to in the video with the fire
Speaker 18: extinguisher was picked up immediately by the guard on board.
Speaker 22: The CCTV was captured and it has been handed.
Speaker 18: Over to the police.
Speaker 2: Good Thank you Josh, Thanks Clinton, Josh, Mary t Ansport
Speaker 2: Secretary in New South Wales. So you can see that
Speaker 2: video on our website two GB dot com. And this
Speaker 2: is the crazy thing about it. Some of the videos
Speaker 2: I've seen today clearly show those responsible. So they've also
Speaker 2: got no brains. Twenty two past five, tomorrow a one
Speaker 2: day hearing will be held into changes to workers' compensation.
Speaker 2: These are the changes that the labor government is trying
Speaker 2: to implement that the unions are dead against, that the
Speaker 2: Coalition and the Greens teamed up to oppose in the
Speaker 2: Upper House. They demanded an inquiry. Well, that inquiry will
Speaker 2: take place tomorrow and a range of people give evidence.
Speaker 2: So a stack of people have been called to give evidence,
Speaker 2: including the Treasure of Daniel Mooki, but also some interest
Speaker 2: groups and those from the insurance industry themselves. Bottom line
Speaker 2: here is, yes, we can't allow workers who are injured
Speaker 2: on the job to be just put on the scrap heap.
Speaker 2: They need to be looked after. But we also need
Speaker 2: a system that's solvent and at the moment the IICRE
Speaker 2: system is going broke, something's got to change.
Speaker 1: Two gvs. The Winter Wheel.
Speaker 2: We are turning up the heat with forty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: worth of cash and prizes to be won in two
Speaker 2: GB's Winter Wheel. We are spinning the wheel in breakfast mornings,
Speaker 2: afternoons and right here on Sydney now every day this week. Now,
Speaker 2: this is your cuter. Call be the fifth caller right
Speaker 2: now on the prize line. Now the prize line is
Speaker 2: one three hundred seven double two eight seven to three.
Speaker 2: The fifth caller will make it through on air, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to spin this wheel that I have next
Speaker 2: to me. If you have a look on the webcam,
Speaker 2: you'll see the wheel in all its glory. It's fabulous. Now,
Speaker 2: Michael McLaren has suggested that I'm not going to be
Speaker 2: very good at spinning it. Well, I've been practicing and
Speaker 2: I reckon we're a big chance of winning the two
Speaker 2: and a half thousand dollars here. Jesus a lot of
Speaker 2: money here on this wheel. We've got a lot of
Speaker 2: money to give away. It's some good prizes as well.
Speaker 2: So jump on the competition line right now, one three
Speaker 2: hundred seven double two eight seven to three. The fifth
Speaker 2: caller will play two GB's Winter Wheel.
Speaker 1: You'll want to know what's happening in Sydney. Stay tuned
Speaker 1: to Sydney out with later.
Speaker 2: On to gumb You might not be too happy about
Speaker 2: this confirmation today that Anthony Albersi is getting a pay
Speaker 2: rise as all federal politicians are on the first July,
Speaker 2: so a couple of weeks away, his salary will increase
Speaker 2: by just under fifteen thousand dollars as go from six
Speaker 2: hundred and seven thousand dollars to six hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars. But here's the twist. Anthony Alberzi will
Speaker 2: now be paid more than Donald Trump. Donald Trump, despite
Speaker 2: being a what's a billionaire, is paid four hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars US. That is six hundred and seventeen thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: but albo is going to be on six hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty two. So mister Albani is going to be paid
Speaker 2: more than mister Trump. I think mister Trump's still doing okay,
Speaker 2: mind you. Now you compare that to other prime ministers.
Speaker 2: So today Alba has held a meeting with Mark Karney,
Speaker 2: who's the Canadian Prime minister. Mark Kearney will make four
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars this year, the New
Speaker 2: Zealand Prime Minister, Christopher Luxe will make four hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy four thousand dollars per year, the UK PM three
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five thousand, even though the cost of
Speaker 2: living in London is probably higher than in Sydney. Lawrence Wong,
Speaker 2: who is the Singapore Prime Minister, he's doing very well now.
Speaker 2: He's on two and a half meal. Apparently he's just
Speaker 2: about the highest paid government leader in the world other
Speaker 2: than the dictators who just take the money from the
Speaker 2: cash red stuff. But Albo as of July one, six
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars compared to Donald Trump's
Speaker 2: six hundred and seventeen.
Speaker 21: Two.
Speaker 1: Gv's Winter Wheel.
Speaker 2: Forty thousand dollars to give away over the next few weeks.
Speaker 2: And I've got a stack here on the winter Wheel
Speaker 2: that I'm just about to spin. Hello, Janello, you are
Speaker 2: going to play for a Monday afternoon. Alrighty all, you
Speaker 2: can't lose. You actually can't lose in this competition because
Speaker 2: everything is wonderful. Will we will love whatever you win?
Speaker 2: Now I'm warming up a kay. I'm going to give
Speaker 2: a really big tug. Here we go one, two, three,
Speaker 2: Here we go, spinning, spinning, spinning. It's just gone past
Speaker 2: the two and a half thousand dollars. Just move past
Speaker 2: the DD's group. Now it's three hundred. How you're feeling
Speaker 2: still spinning?
Speaker 17: Fantastic.
Speaker 22: It's Monday night.
Speaker 21: Here we go.
Speaker 2: It's slowing down and slowing down. Just past the fifteen,
Speaker 2: just past dds, just past one thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 23: Is yours?
Speaker 3: Congratulations Jane, Thank you, TODB.
Speaker 2: What are you going to do with the cash?
Speaker 12: Well, my two hour has just had eye surgery which
Speaker 12: was very expensive, so I'm going to put it towards that,
Speaker 12: So thank.
Speaker 3: You so much.
Speaker 2: Fabulous Jane. That is wonderful. Congratulations Jane. We will be
Speaker 2: spinning the Winter Wheel tomorrow morning with Ben in Breakfast
Speaker 2: and we'll do it all again through Mark Leavy's program,
Speaker 2: Michael McLaren and back with Sydney Now this afternoon tomorrow
Speaker 2: afternoon even let's check news headlines and with all the
Speaker 2: late it's Katie Paula.
Speaker 10: Good afternoon. Clinton. The police minister says it's abhorrent when
Speaker 10: innocent people are caught up in violence after a daylight
Speaker 10: shooting in Sydney's Southwest. A kebab shop worker is one
Speaker 10: of three people injured when two masked men open fire
Speaker 10: at a restaurant in Auburn. The Federal government is being
Speaker 10: urged to name and shame specialists who overcharge patients in
Speaker 10: a bid to bring down fees. The Gratton Institutors found
Speaker 10: some Australians are paying more than six hundred dollars for
Speaker 10: a specialist appointment. Closing submissions being heard in the Mushroom
Speaker 10: murder trial. The prosecution has alleged there are four calculated
Speaker 10: deceptions at the heart of the case, including accusations Aaron
Speaker 10: Patterson lied about having cancer and tennis legend Ashbarty and
Speaker 10: her husband are celebrating the arrival of their second child,
Speaker 10: Barty announcing the birth of her daughter Jordan on Instagram.
Speaker 10: In Sport, the Sydney Roosters have agreed to release winger
Speaker 10: Dom Young with immediate effect. The English Flyers joined his
Speaker 10: old club The Nights, just two days after he played
Speaker 10: against them in Newcastle. Clinton Mornings at six.
Speaker 2: Seek Kat twelve degrees in the city, ten degrees in
Speaker 2: the Western Suburbs.
Speaker 1: Finance update with all.
Speaker 2: The latest Dead Night Money news. Tonight at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: Hello dead, Hello Clinton.
Speaker 24: You were very excited spinning that.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 24: I love that you've done a practice run as well.
Speaker 1: How hyped were you? See?
Speaker 2: Michael? Michael suggested that I wouldn't be very good at
Speaker 2: spinning the wid why. He suggested that I had very
Speaker 2: weak arms, and he ignored the fact that I spent many,
Speaker 2: many an hour in the gym. Chocolate are you you
Speaker 2: could be?
Speaker 24: You've got weekling to spin that.
Speaker 2: You've got to give it a good tu You don'
Speaker 2: want to do it careful.
Speaker 24: You don't want to do it with too much gusto though,
Speaker 24: because you'd be here for the five minutes. The amount
Speaker 24: of times it'll spin around.
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful wheels great. There's two and a half
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on there. I mean, I'd love to there's
Speaker 2: a one win it.
Speaker 24: Don't you worry about that?
Speaker 2: Of course they will. The share mark a little flat today,
Speaker 2: but some games in the sector.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 24: The Middle East tensions sent oil and goal prices much
Speaker 24: higher over the weekend, so the market did climb on
Speaker 24: the open, but then there were falls across the day,
Speaker 24: so we ended up back where we started. On the
Speaker 24: ASEX two hundred it was just up a single point
Speaker 24: to eight thousand, five hundred and forty eight. Energy, though,
Speaker 24: was the best performing sector obviously, it was up five
Speaker 24: point two percent, and the dollar a bit more positive
Speaker 24: over the weekend too. It's back up above sixty five
Speaker 24: YEUS cents.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister is in Calgary ahead of the G
Speaker 2: seven talks with Donald Trump, but the Assistant Minister, Andrew Lee,
Speaker 2: has been charged with boosting productivity. You're going to speak
Speaker 2: with him.
Speaker 24: Yeah, He's the first productivity minister that we've had in
Speaker 24: this country and it is top of the to do
Speaker 24: list from this government. They know that they need to
Speaker 24: boost productivity. It's a problem that's not isolated to Australia.
Speaker 24: It's a problem that many wealthy countries around the world
Speaker 24: are grappling with. But we're at sixty year lows and
Speaker 24: until we get productivity on track, we're not going to
Speaker 24: see the economy growing the way it should.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this to Michael McLaren a little earlier. There
Speaker 2: is a concert that I hadn't heard of before, call
Speaker 2: presenteism and present teaism is becoming apparently a real issue
Speaker 2: in the workforce at the moment. It's it's similar to absenteeism,
Speaker 2: but you decide instead of chucking the siki, you actually
Speaker 2: go to work, but don't do anything when you.
Speaker 24: Were off quite quitting, which is another you just don't
Speaker 24: we love labels, don't we?
Speaker 2: Yeah, presentee But again that's all about, you know, poor
Speaker 2: productivity if you don't have staff motivated and do a
Speaker 2: good job.
Speaker 24: Well, But it's more than that. It's about actually ensuring
Speaker 24: because there's a lot of occupations and many people you know,
Speaker 24: in their cars listening or listening would know I can't
Speaker 24: work any harder. I work damn hard. So it's about
Speaker 24: being smarter with the way that we actually use the workforce.
Speaker 24: And AI is going to be a big part of that.
Speaker 24: But it's a big task that he's got. And we'll
Speaker 24: be speaking to Andrew Lee on the show tonight.
Speaker 2: And a cosmetic giant has passed away today.
Speaker 24: Yeah, the Esta Louder Lorder Company Estlauder, which was the
Speaker 24: company was inherited by Leonard Lauder from his parents, built
Speaker 24: it up, but he's been running it, or had been
Speaker 24: for the past forty years. He died over the weekend
Speaker 24: in New York at the age of ninety two, and
Speaker 24: he really took the brand from strength to strength the
Speaker 24: cosmetics giant. He broadened the labels under the Estae Luta umbrella.
Speaker 24: And he was also the person who came up with
Speaker 24: a theory that lipstick sales can soar when times are
Speaker 24: tough because women will embrace whatever luxuries they can. So
Speaker 24: it helped the company to grow, and when he took
Speaker 24: it public back in nineteen ninety five, the share price
Speaker 24: shot up a third, so he inherited. He was a
Speaker 24: nepo baby in the classic sense, but he absolutely grew
Speaker 24: the company.
Speaker 2: It just reminds me when we were going through COVID
Speaker 2: and as a reporter. Now being a bloke, maybe he
Speaker 2: can quite appreciate this aspect of the economy. The biggest
Speaker 2: issue that women wanted reopened were nail salons during COVID
Speaker 2: during the shutdowns.
Speaker 24: Yeah, hair salons with a thing, Yeah, but I think
Speaker 24: was probably something I was saying, please. And when we
Speaker 24: were told we were limited to thirty minute haircuts and colors,
Speaker 24: the women of the country were screaming, what are they thinking?
Speaker 24: Do they know how long it takes to color your hair?
Speaker 2: Deb will be hosting Money News tonight from seven.
Speaker 24: Thank you.
Speaker 2: You can watch our listen to dev tonight with Money.
Speaker 1: News on Sydney.
Speaker 5: Now a weather update will be here to help in
Speaker 5: unexpected weather.
Speaker 1: NRIM insurance a health company.
Speaker 2: Twelve degrees and the coast at the moment ten degrees
Speaker 2: in the western southerns It should have made mostly drive
Speaker 2: this evening Tomorrow. The forecast is for a sunny day,
Speaker 2: maybe some frost in the west in the morning and
Speaker 2: top of eighteen degrees. Wednesday sunny and sixteen Thursday mostly sunny,
Speaker 2: and seventeen Friday sunny in eighteen and the Weather Bureau
Speaker 2: has provided us with a long term forecast at this
Speaker 2: stage on the weekend Sunday, on Saturday, mostly Sunday on Sunday.
Speaker 2: We've been talking throughout the program about the increasing gap
Speaker 2: fees that many of us are paying even if we
Speaker 2: have private health insurance. And the gap has been a
Speaker 2: big part of the health system for decades, but it
Speaker 2: is getting bigger and why because specialists are charging more
Speaker 2: and the government isn't recovering as much as the cost now.
Speaker 2: Mark says the AMA has so much control over the
Speaker 2: health industry and the government can't regulate it all falling behind.
Speaker 2: Paul says, I've had three hip replacements, all of which failed,
Speaker 2: and I now have to mobilize on crutches. All have
Speaker 2: been done in the private system, and it's cost me mega.
Speaker 2: It's left my wife and I peenless in our sixties.
Speaker 5: If it matters to you, then you'll hear it here
Speaker 5: Sydney now with Clinton Maynard until see a.
Speaker 2: Huge weekend in rugby league and Mark Guy has been
Speaker 2: covering it all.
Speaker 11: Hello MG, Hello Clinton, good evening.
Speaker 25: Yeah around fifteen mate, It's come to a close and
Speaker 25: the Rabbit O's have been decimated through injury.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, I watched the Rabbit O's play the Bulldogs yesterday
Speaker 2: and yeah they are suffering with injury.
Speaker 1: Out day well.
Speaker 25: Colem and Toney, probably their best player this year by
Speaker 25: a mile, has suffered a suspected fractured eye socket, with
Speaker 25: Lorie Daily forced to replace him in his Blue squad
Speaker 25: because he can't travel of course of the socket. Jacob
Speaker 25: Preston the Bulldogs duck Row will now be the nineteenth man. Also,
Speaker 25: Joe Gray, the young fullback he broke his some yesterday
Speaker 25: be up for two months. And the Hookahavilli has suffered
Speaker 25: a calf injury. So more injuries for the rabbit as
Speaker 25: And while we're on injuries, big mainly forward hermoli Ilakwatu
Speaker 25: his face in the extended stint on the sidelines after
Speaker 25: discocating his shoulder and his sides lost to the Titans.
Speaker 25: But some good news for the big boy. He won't
Speaker 25: require reconstruction, just just set it and it'll be back
Speaker 25: in about six to eight weeks.
Speaker 2: Some good news for the mainly team that is something.
Speaker 2: What about the football yesterday before half time the players
Speaker 2: having to go off with the lightning strikes.
Speaker 25: You know, I've remembered anything like that in all my time.
Speaker 25: I've seen stuff on TV, but I've never been live
Speaker 25: at a game, and we were there yesterday calling the game,
Speaker 25: and about the thirty second minute mark, the ground manager
Speaker 25: went onto the field and ushered at the players off
Speaker 25: the course of the severity of the lightning strikes. And
Speaker 25: it was about twenty one minutes later that they got
Speaker 25: back on the field. And it was funny because they
Speaker 25: had like a two minute warm up to get back
Speaker 25: on the field, and they had a reduced half time
Speaker 25: which was only seven minutes, and then they would have
Speaker 25: been really really difficult for the players to warm back
Speaker 25: up again and I think at that stage the Doggies
Speaker 25: were all cruising. I think that that break probably helped
Speaker 25: the rabbit os, but didn't help them win the game,
Speaker 25: because the Rabbits are languishing now. Mate, they've they've lost
Speaker 25: three in a row. The Tigers are in thirteenth, they
Speaker 25: lost four in a row. And up up in front
Speaker 25: of the up front of the bus, the Doggies on
Speaker 25: twenty six Canberra, I've won four in a row and
Speaker 25: some great news for them, young what's his name? I
Speaker 25: forget his name now, pretty sure son, Yes, Jed Stewart
Speaker 25: will be making his taboo this week and that's fantastic news.
Speaker 25: Fantastic news.
Speaker 2: He's been I think he's been eighteenth man. I think
Speaker 2: he was part of the squad that went to Vegas,
Speaker 2: but he hasn't made his deboot yet.
Speaker 21: So look, there's quite a few father.
Speaker 2: And son combinations in rugby league. You might be related
Speaker 2: to one of them. Is there do you think there is?
Speaker 2: Is there nepotism in league at the top level?
Speaker 25: Oh jees, that's that's a that's a nasty word, isn't
Speaker 25: it if you it's look like I don't think so.
Speaker 25: I really don't because otherwise, you know, he's a lot
Speaker 25: of coaches having a lot of their relities playing for them,
Speaker 25: I think, But at the moment, I think, when you're
Speaker 25: losing games, the finger points straight to and I'm talking
Speaker 25: about the Dragons here with Kyle Flanigan and his dad Shane.
Speaker 25: At the moment, well, he's on the fire because you know,
Speaker 25: there's been some ex players and some journalists saying that
Speaker 25: it's nepotism and that he wouldn't make any other clubs
Speaker 25: seventeen and all that type of stuff. But it happens
Speaker 25: when you're losing games, when you.
Speaker 2: And you know, just in defense of Kyle Flanagan, now,
Speaker 2: as a Shark supporter, I saw a lot of Kyle
Speaker 2: Flanagan coming through lower grades. When he was coming through
Speaker 2: the lower grades, the likes of Andrew Jordans were predicting
Speaker 2: that he was going to be an absolute superstar. Now
Speaker 2: he's not a superstar, but he isn't quite an adequate
Speaker 2: first grade player. It just makes it difficult because his
Speaker 2: dad's a coach.
Speaker 1: It does, it does.
Speaker 25: It puts the pressure on both of them because they're
Speaker 25: losing games. And at the start of the year when
Speaker 25: I was going, well, no one was really saying much
Speaker 25: about this. Obviously, you know the prototype is Ivan and
Speaker 25: Nathan have won four comps to get but that's kind
Speaker 25: of one of the before that was Johnny Wang and
Speaker 25: Martinling who won two thousand and three. But I know
Speaker 25: that you know, brother Arthur Copp that when he's young,
Speaker 25: Blake was playing for him Jakie Arthur. So it's it's
Speaker 25: a nasty thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is.
Speaker 25: It's it's you know, because I think at the end
Speaker 25: of the day, we love our kids death and when
Speaker 25: people are saying that we're favoring them in front of
Speaker 25: others because of their last name. I think that I
Speaker 25: coached my son's up until I was about fifteen years
Speaker 25: of age, and the reason I stopped plant coaching them
Speaker 25: was because of that reason that you know they started
Speaker 25: other parents were starting to get Jack and me being
Speaker 25: the coach, and so I said, you know what the
Speaker 25: best way to do this is walk away from it.
Speaker 25: And I did because I didn't want to cop any
Speaker 25: more crap from from sideline eyes or sideline mouths now MG.
Speaker 2: My favorite sport next to rugby league is motor racing.
Speaker 2: So I was up very early this morning watching this.
Speaker 1: The front wings gone.
Speaker 20: Norris is out of this race, and he said ineviatively
Speaker 20: mcclarens would come together.
Speaker 1: At some points, and that points I've lap.
Speaker 20: Sixty seven in Canada has arrived now.
Speaker 3: And has that damaged Piastre's McLaren as well.
Speaker 21: I think he went for a gap that wasn't there?
Speaker 6: You all right?
Speaker 1: Did? Yeah?
Speaker 21: Sorry?
Speaker 1: Oh my bad?
Speaker 2: So what's happened there? This is actually for those that
Speaker 2: don't understand motorsport, I'll just explain that this is actually
Speaker 2: really good for Oscar Piastre because he's leading the World
Speaker 2: Championship and his teammate Lando Norris is his biggest competitor
Speaker 2: because they drive the same car, so they're in the
Speaker 2: best car at the right. So Lando has tried to
Speaker 2: overtake him. He's hit him from behind, hit his back wheel,
Speaker 2: and Lando went off and Piastre continues. So Piastre finished fourth.
Speaker 2: He gets the points for fourth place. Lando misses out completely,
Speaker 2: which means that Piastre's lead in the World Championship is
Speaker 2: now much bigger. It's almost worth a race. It's actually
Speaker 2: a really good result for Piastre. It could have been
Speaker 2: could have been so much worse.
Speaker 25: Though, oh, I did readly today with Lando Norris was
Speaker 25: full of remorse and went out of his way to
Speaker 25: apologize to his teammate and.
Speaker 8: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 25: But at the end of the day, their competitors, aren't
Speaker 25: they even though they're in the same team, they still.
Speaker 2: Want in the white worst motor racing, they're the biggest
Speaker 2: competitors because they're driving the same machinery we're on the
Speaker 2: footy field. Did you ever have fallings out with your
Speaker 2: teammates that cause dramas on the field? Oh?
Speaker 25: Look, I said it happened Clinton a lot of times.
Speaker 25: I never had personally. No, I would save it for
Speaker 25: the dressing sheds, or I would save it if someone
Speaker 25: done something on a footy field that he might have
Speaker 25: hogged the ball instead of passing it, and I wouldn't say.
Speaker 25: I wouldn't remonstrate with him there and there because I
Speaker 25: wouldn't want to embarrass him. I've seen when other players
Speaker 25: have blown up at their teammates, and it's not a
Speaker 25: good look. At a team sport, no one really wants
Speaker 25: to do anything that's going to make your team lose.
Speaker 25: So you know, if you want to say something to
Speaker 25: one of your teammates. You've got plenty of opportunity in
Speaker 25: the dressing rooms after the game, and when you have it,
Speaker 25: maybe went back in my day when you're having a
Speaker 25: nice cold beer. If you won the game, you'd say, hey, Steve,
Speaker 25: next time, mate, That hog the ball.
Speaker 2: Cheers don't do it on the field. I should point
Speaker 2: out that the Kiwi he's an adopted Australian Shane van
Speaker 2: Gisberg and won his first NASCAR race for the year
Speaker 2: in Mexico.
Speaker 25: Fantastic, aw some news. He's a good riter.
Speaker 2: He's a Kiwi, MG. But when kiwis win, what you
Speaker 2: have to understand is the restraints of course Australia exactly.
Speaker 21: MG.
Speaker 2: We'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So every buddy, my guy, quiz time.
