Experts deemed the 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 3: building to be at risk of collapsing because there was 28 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: a tropical storm called Elsa that was just off the 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: coast of Cuba edging closer to the coastline. We do 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 3: know that the death toll still remains at twenty four, 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: but one hundred and twenty one people still remain unaccounted for. 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella levine Kava said that the 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: search for survivors will resume once the site was deemed secure. 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: All ninety six passengers have been accounted for after a 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: military plane crash in the Philippines which killed fifty people. 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: The death toll includes forty seven passengers and three civilians 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: who were on the ground when the plane crashed. The 38 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: aircraft crashed after it attempt to land, but missed the 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: runway on Jolo Island in the Sulu Province on Sunday. 40 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: Finally, some good news for your Tuesday, and this one 41 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: is courtesy of Australia Posts, who introduced new parcel packaging 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: that will now include a dedicated spot for customers to 43 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 3: choose to include the first Nation country title. The announcement 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: coincides with Nadock Week, which is a week to celebrate 45 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 3: our first Nation's people, and the new parcels will also 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: include an acknowledgment of country Gomorroy. Woman Rachel McPhail, who 47 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: led this advocacy and lobbying effort, believes that the next 48 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: step is to create a database of all these traditional 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 3: place names so that it is really easy for everyone 50 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: to understand which land they are on, and that is 51 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: something we can all get behind. 52 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: Australia Posts celebrated this introduction with a video from one 53 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: of their employees. His names are Richard, an indigenous artist 54 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: and postman. 55 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 4: When sending a parcel with the traditional place name, you 56 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 4: put the name of the recipient the traditional place name, 57 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 4: then you put the address. Then it's ready to go. 58 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 4: They've been flighted for a very long time and it's 59 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: a step forward. 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: It's a recognition towards the mob. 61 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: Morrison the most powerful man in the country. He was 62 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 4: I describe him as a menacing, controlling wallpaper. 63 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: So that was a clip from the ABC And that 64 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: is a woman called Julia Banks. So Julia Banks was 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: a member of Parliament. She was voted in as a 66 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: member of the Liberal Party and she sat in the 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: Liberal Party room for a number of years until twenty 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: eighteen when she resigned from the Liberal Party and moved 69 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: to the cross bench. So she was still a member 70 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: of Parliament, but she for a number of reasons, said 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: that she could no longer sit in the Liberal Party 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: and she moved to the cross bench. 73 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: And at the time. 74 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: It was a huge deal because the government was already 75 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: being plunged into minority government and this just left them 76 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: in a really really weak position numbers wise in the 77 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: House of Reps. So now she has come out with 78 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: a book about her time in parliament, and everyone knew 79 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: that this would drop quite a few bombshells because when 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: Banks left the Liberal Party, she said that she was 81 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: doing so for a number of reasons, most prominently because 82 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: of the way that women were treated in that party. 83 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: And now she is releasing this book at a time 84 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 3: where there is increased scrutiny on the Liberal Party and 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: their treatment of women. 86 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: So even though Julia Banks's book has not been released yet, 87 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: we know a number of the really major accusations that 88 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: she makes in her writing. Nobly. Banks says that a 89 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: male colleague ran his hand up her leg in a 90 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: room full of other MPs. She described entering politics as 91 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: feeling like stepping back in time to the nineteen eighties. 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, and she made a very good point when it 93 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 3: came to the accusation of the senior cabinet minister putting 94 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: his hand on her leg, because she said, while it 95 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: wasn't nearly as bad as half of the things that 96 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: she had faced in her life as a woman or 97 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: as a professional woman, it was the fact that this 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: was in the Prime Minister's office with a whole bunch 99 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: of MPs present, And it got her thinking that if 100 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: this could have happened in that setting, what was to 101 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: happen when that cabinet minister could exert his power over 102 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: somebody that would have been more submissive or in the 103 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: power dynamic would have been far less powerful. And it 104 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: was a good observation about the way that these power 105 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: dynamics work in Canberra. 106 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: So last night Banks went on seven point thirty, which 107 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: is ABC's flagship current affairs program, right after the news Zara, 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: do you expect this to trigger a whole nother discussion 109 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: about parliamentary culture in the news cycle. 110 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: I think in the short term it certainly will. 111 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: When Julia Banks first resigned, she remained quite tight lipped 112 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: about what she had seen in the party and so 113 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 3: it's just now that we're seeing these revel relations unfold 114 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: for the first time, and it could have pretty major impacts. 115 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: I think that the context in which these allegations are 116 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 3: unfolding is particularly important to someone described kicking the government 117 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: while they're already down. The government is already facing allegations 118 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 3: about the mistreatment of women, specifically around claims of sexual 119 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: harassment and sexual assault, and the way that those claims 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: are dealt with in parliament House. 121 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: So it's certainly going to add. 122 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 3: To the fervor of an already growing movement within parliament 123 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: House and in Canberra. But on the other hand, it 124 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 3: is easy in a political sense for government and peace 125 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: to dismiss these claims. Because Julia Banks did contest the 126 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 3: last election she contested it against Greg Hunt, who is 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: our Health Minister. 128 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: It was seen as a pretty bold move. 129 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: She went up against a Liberal member and a minister 130 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: at that so it could be seen by some to 131 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: be a political play. We won't comment on that because 132 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: it's not necessary, but either way, the Prime Minister is 133 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: likely to be questioned about these allegations and about the 134 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 3: claims that Banks put forward in her book. 135 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: Parliamentary culture, Sydney in lockdown and the vaccine rollout. Those 136 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: are what we think are going to be the big 137 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: issues of the day. If you want to read up 138 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: on them throughout the day, follow us on Instagram at 139 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: the Daily OS. It's where over one hundred and twenty 140 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: five thousand Australians get their news every single day and 141 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: we'll see you there. Have a great Tuesday.
