1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Daily OS. It is Wednesday,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: the eighth of December, a big day in Eastern Europe,

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Constitution Day in Romania, Constitution Day in Uzbekistan and National

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Youth Day in Albania. It's going off, Zara. We're going

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: to get to the big story in federal and state

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: polities at the moment where the Gladys Veragu clan will

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: run for a seat in the upcoming federal election. But

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: first tell me about what the Reserve Bank had to say.

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Yesterday, the RBA announced it will keep the country's interest

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: rate at the historical low level of zero point one percent.

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: The RBA Governor Philip Lowe said on Tuesday that the

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: emergence of the omicron strain is a new source of uncertainty,

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: but it is not expected to derail the recovery, so

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: that is some good news, I guess.

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in New York, the Mayor of New York, Bill

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: de Blasio, has announced all private employers in New York

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: City must require their workers to be vaccinated by the

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: twenty seventh of December. Deblasio said, when you York have

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: bold to stop the further growth of COVID and the

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: dangers it's causing to all of us.

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: A pre inquest conference in Brisbane has heard new details

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: of the herorific murder of Hannah Clark and her three children.

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: Council assisting the coroner, Jacoba Brash said this inquest must

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: look backwards at the warning signs which were missed or

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: if identified, whether appropriate actions were taken at the time

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: to address those risks.

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: And let's get some brightness into our day with the

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: good news. India has vaccinated more than fifty percent of

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: its eligible population, which is the equivalent of more than

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy million people who have received both

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: doses of a COVID vaccine. More than eighty five percent

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: of India's population has received at least one dose so Zara.

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: There's been war to war coverage of a potential tilt

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: at federal politics from former New South Wales Premier Gladys

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: pierogically and it attracted the attention of the Prime Minister,

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: the federal opposition and pretty much every single Australian media outlet.

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: What do we know so far?

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: What we know is that the former premier Gladys Barry

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: Jicklian is being encouraged by some senior members of the

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: Liberal Party to run for the seat of Warringa at

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: the next federal election. So, just to break that down

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: very quickly, Waringa is the seat that is currently held

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: by Independent Zalie Stegel. It was previously held by Tony

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: Abbott by a very safe margin, but he was quite

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: famously defeated at the last election. On the federal election front,

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: and as we have said many times before, we don't

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: know when that will be, but we're expecting it to

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: be sometime in early May. So what we know is

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: that the story was first reported by the Odds The

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: Australian on Monday, who said that the Prime Minister had

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: personally called Barry Diicklian last week, during which she had

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: agreed to consider the option of running in the seat

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: of Warringa. Here's a clip of Prime Minister Scott Morrison's

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: speaking about a possible run by Gladys Paradeclian.

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: I think she'd be great. I think, as I've said before,

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: the way that Gladys Beverjiculin has been treated over these

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 3: events I think has been shameful. I've been very clear

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: about that. Anthony Albernezi thought that was the right thing

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: to do to Gladys Spiragiclian. I don't think it was,

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: and I look forward to her. She'll make her own

62
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: decision in her own time about what she would like

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: to do. Of course, if she wished to join our team,

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: she would be very welcome. But I have no doubt

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: that whatever Gladias sets her mind too, she'll be a

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: great success in whatever choices she wants to make going forward.

67
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: What we know on the pre selection front is that

68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: the Liberal Party has extended its deadline for candidates to

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: nominate themselves for the seat of Warringa from the third

70
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: of December until the fourteenth of January. Now that's reportedly

71
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: to allow Beiajeiclian more time to consider the option. It

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: should be said, though, that this move could be controversial.

73
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: Sam talked me through why that might be.

74
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: So we all know that former Premier Gladys Paragicalian fronted

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: up to the Ikak inquiry this year into alleged corruption

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: over her relationship with former MP Darryl Maguire. It famously

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: led to Beeragiclian resigning from the premiership in New South

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: Wales amid the fact that she was going to be

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: investigated for such allegations. Those allegations and the report from

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: IQAQ actually hasn't come back yet. We had two weeks

81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: of hearings a couple of months ago and the body

82
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: is now taking its time to develop its findings. Those

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: findings could recommend criminal charges. They could also clear Ergicalian

84
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: totally of any misconduct. We won't know until that report

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: is delivered. That's what's made this tilt at federal politics.

86
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: This potential tilts so interesting. It's also led to renewed

87
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: criticisms of IKAK. Zara tell me more about that.

88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: On Monday, the PM Scott Morrison said that Barry Jicklian's

89
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: treatment by IKAK was quote shameful and added that she'd

90
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: be very welcome to quote join our team. He has

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: been an outspoken critic of the New South Wales corruption

92
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: watchdog and has often cited Barajicklan's experience with IKAK to

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: justify not establishing a similar corruption watchdog at a federal level.

94
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: So just a reminder here, there is no federal equivalent

95
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: of AYKAK that exists in every state and territory. Across

96
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: the country. While draft legislation was floated about a possible

97
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: integrity commission, it hasn't been introduced to Parliament and the

98
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: draft that we did see didn't overly resemble what these

99
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: state and territory watchdogs do look like. Scott Morrison did

100
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: tell reporters on Monday that Gladys was put in a

101
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: position of actually having to stand down and there were

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: no findings of anything. Just a quick note here that

103
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: the findings of the IKAK investigation into former Premier Gladys

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: Baragiclan have not been released yet. Zali Segel, who I

105
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: said earlier does hold the seat of Waringa, told the

106
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: Project on Monday night that she thinks it's really inappropriate

107
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: and wrong that the Prime Minister and senior ministers are

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: us in doubt over the importance of the work of IKAK.

109
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Putting all of that IKAK discussion to one side. Have

110
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: we seen this before? Have we seen state premiers or

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: state minister's move to federal politics.

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly not an unusual move of course. Bob Carr

113
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: is the first person that comes to mind. He was

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: the new South Wales Premier. He then went on to

115
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: serve in federal government, but none have done it. With

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 2: an IQAQ finding still impending, the timing here is really

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: really important. If IKAK have not published their findings by

118
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: the time that preselection happens, it will certainly be a

119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: fraud path for the former premier.

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: That's all we've got time for on today's edition of

121
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: The Daily Ods. Have a fantastic hump day. We're getting

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: really close to the end of the year. You can

123
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: find us on Instagram at the Daily Os. Until then,

124
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: we'll speak to you tomorrow
