Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Daily os. It is Wednesday,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: the ninth of June. My name is Zara Seidler, and

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: helping me make sense of today's news is Sam Kozlowski.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Making news today. Cases in Victoria, an update on the

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Billa Wheela family, some good news about Dylan Alcott.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: And we're going to have a chat about one of

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: the biggest organized crime stings in Australian history. Is today's

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: Daily Digest.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: There were some relatively good news out of Victoria yesterday.

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: There were only two locally acquired cases, with the state's

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: outbreak growing to eighty three active cases. The Melbourne lockdown

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: fingers Crossed, is due to end at eleven fifty nine

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and Acting Victorian Premier James Milino gave a

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: good sign yesterday by saying that the state was on

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: track to ease restrictions. Melino also confirmed the quote missing

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: Pieces of the Puzzle aka the origins of the Delta outbreak.

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: The genomic sequencing has been linked to a positive traveler

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: who returned from Sri Lanka on May eighth.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: Fedral Politics Now and Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews has

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: announced the government is investigating a range of resettlement options

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: in relation to the Tamil family detained on Christmas Island.

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: This comes after three year old Taneka was airlifted to

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: Perth for urgent medical attention over the weekend and a

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: friend of the family yesterday confirms the young child has

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: been diagnosed with pneumonia.

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Former AFL Sydney Swans player Adam Goods has declined to

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: be inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: So The AFL Hall of Fame is an award given

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: to the best of the best in AFL a number

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: of years after their career has finished, and it is

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: voted on by an AFL Hall of Fame committee. It's

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: the most prestigious award in footy.

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: So Goods was nominated for this Hall of Fame, but

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: he declined it, and it comes after he was repeatedly

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: booed while playing AFL during the final years of his career.

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the AFL Commission's chairman, Richard Goiter, offered a

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: second apology for the handling of the situation, saying the

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: unreserved apology that the game provided him in twenty nineteen

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: was too late, but on behalf of our commission and

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: the AFL. I apologize unreservedly again for our failures during

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: this period.

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: It's been really hard for everybody all around the world.

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: Where I'm from in Melbourne, it's currently in lockdown and

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: this is actually live on TV into all of Australia

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: on the wide World of Sports. So to my love

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: lines in Melbourne, everybody in Melbourne, I hope you're okay.

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: To everyone around the world that's doing it tough, hopefully

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: it's getting a little bit better for everybody.

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: And that clip was brought to you by today's Human

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: Good News Dylan Orcott, who won his third consecutive French

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: Open Quad Wheelchair singles title. He defeated twenty one year

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: old Dutchman Sam Schroeder in straight sets to win his

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: thirteenth overall Grand Slam Singles title.

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Yesterday we reported a pretty remarkable story that resembled a

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Netflix show more than real life, and you guys asked

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: us to take some time to explain it a bit further.

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: So Sam's going to take us through what Opera Ironside

58
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: actually was and why it was such a big deal.

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: So yesterday morning, Prime Minister Scott Morrison stood up in

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: front of the media alongside law enforcement officials and had

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: this to say.

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: Today, the Australian government, as part of a global operation,

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: has struck a heavy blow against organized crime, not just

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: in this country, but one will echo around organized crime

65
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 4: around the world.

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Over the course of yesterday we learned more and more

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: details about Operation Ironside, a three year operation using an

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: FBI and AFP designed app. Since twenty eighteen, and again

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: this is real life. Australia, New Zealand and the FBI

70
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: have used an encrypted app and it was called ANOM

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: ANOM to keep track of organized crime. Now, the best

72
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: way to think about ANOM is a really really high

73
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: tech version of WhatsApp or Signal or Telegram. If we

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: go back to twenty eighteen, the FBI dismounted two of

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: the biggest encryption services made that were primarily used by

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: organized crime gangs. And from what it sounds like, discussions

77
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: began between international law enforcement bodies with a sense that

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: they knew that organized crime members would be going to

79
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: another app straight away, and so they thought they would

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: design their own. Now I have to admit I've read

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: some reports that tend to suggest that the app actually

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: lent itself to its own handset, and that's where things

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: get a little hazy. We're waiting for law enforcement to

84
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: give us a few more details there, but most news

85
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: sources are reporting that it's basically a service that you

86
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: had to be invited to, So think clubhouse except for

87
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: organized crime. My favorite quote from the press conference yesterday

88
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: was Australian Federal Police Commissioner Rheese Kershaw said, all they

89
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: do is talk about drugs, violence, hits on each other,

90
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: innocent people who are going to be murdered, a whole

91
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: range of things slightly different to most of our group chats.

92
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,239
Speaker 2: So fast forward three years and they have come out

93
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: with a major announcement that they are dismantling organized crime

94
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: gangs across the world. But it hasn't actually just been

95
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: today that they've done that. There's been reports from state authorities.

96
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: So for example, the New South Wales Police commissioner who

97
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: came out and said that they had been receiving tips

98
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: from the Australian Federal Police for years and they didn't

99
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: know where those tips had come from, but it led

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: to them making a number of arrests.

101
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: So it sounds really cool, but what has it actually

102
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: led to have There been any concrete outcomes from this operation.

103
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: So from the twenty five million messages that authorities were

104
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: able to intercept on the platform that they had designed

105
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: for organized criminals to use, police say they haven't covered

106
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: twenty one murder plots over the three year period and

107
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: sees more than three seven hundred kilos of drugs.

108
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: What happens to those drugs I.

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Don't actually know. Do they just get lit on fire

110
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: and burned or are they redistributed to their original owners to.

111
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Know, but it seems like something we should know, so

112
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: we were revert back tomorrow.

113
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: More interesting than that is what happens the forty five

114
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: million dollars in cash and assets. I noticed there were

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: props from the original Godfather film since it.

116
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: Is actually the end of the financial year coming up,

117
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: so we're all getting tax returns.

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: The AFP also said the operation prevented a suburban mass

119
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: shooting in Australia, with the plan involving the use of

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 2: a machine gun at a cafe. My big takeaway, besides

121
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: from the fact that there is a shocking amount of

122
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: organized crime still occurring in Australia that we didn't really

123
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: know about, is the role of encrypted apps in crime.

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: And how permanent their role is. Here's what New South

125
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: Wales's Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith had to say on the

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: role of encrypted apps yesterday.

127
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: Look.

128
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 4: Encrypted systems have been a problem, obviously an emerging problem

129
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: for law enforcement worldwide. Investigators spend their lives piecing together

130
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: little pieces of information which gives me the evidentiary capture

131
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 4: to put people before court.

132
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 2: So I think the key takeaway if you're chatting about

133
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: this at work today is that it really stands to

134
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: prove the sophistication of organized crime from a technological point

135
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: of view, but also how sophisticated law enforcement is in

136
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: tackling new threats and tackling new ways the organized crime

137
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: operates in a global environment. We've actually launched our own

138
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: operation here at the Delias. It's called Operation Follow. You

139
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: can execute that operation by following us on Instagram throughout

140
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: the day. It's where over one hundred and ten thousand

141
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: Australians get their news and we look forward to having

142
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 2: you on board of our task force
