Speaker 1: one thousand and sixty three new cases, and in the

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Act there were a stubborn sixteen new cases. SAM take

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: us through what happened in Victoria yesterday.

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Victorian authorities confirmed a positive COVID nineteen case attended

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: the Melbourne protests earlier in the week. We've been seeing

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: images of these protests, which are now leading into their

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: fifth day. According to the ABC, the man is in

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: hospital but not in ICU. Yesterday ended without any significant

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: protest activity, despite police arrests ninety two people across the city.

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: There was a massive police presence. Police said these arrests

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: came as a result of breaches of the Chief Health

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: Officer's directions, as well as other matters including outstanding warrants

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: and whereabouts. Here are some quick reactions from Prime Minister

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: Scott Morrison speaking to us from New York and the

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews.

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: I think those scenes were disgraceful and the conduct was disgraceful,

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: very jarring.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: It's very confronting and it's deeply offensive. So well, deep

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: dive on this later. But three members of the Murra

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: Happen family from Billa Wheeler have been granted twelve month

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: temporary visas. The family's youngest daughter, Tarnica, was not granted

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: a visa, meaning that they won't be able to return

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: to their home in Billa Wheeler. If you need a

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: bit of background on this story, head to our instagram

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: before listening to the deep dive, because we've been following

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: this story quite closely for a couple of months and

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: you'll be able to read all about it there.

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: If you thought your family Christmases were bad, Former US

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump suing his niece Mary Trump, as well

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: as several New York Times journalists for the disclosure of

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: tax information. The lawsuit, which has been filed in the

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: New York State Court, seeks quote damages in an amount

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: to be determined at trial, but believed to be no

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: less than one hundred million dollars. Mary Trump revealed last

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: year that she was the source for the New York

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Times article about Trump's tax returns.

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: And your Friday good news. The Royal Brisbane and Women's

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Hospital has seen a really significant decrease in mised appointments

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: from First Nations women. So we're talking from fifty percent

50
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: down to just fourteen percent. This comes after the introduction

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: of a new program that offers a culturally safe pathway

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: to deliver patient centered care for First Nations women, and

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: that includes stuff like transport, ongoing support from First Nations staff,

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: and continuity of care across healthcare sectors. So, Billy, yesterday

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: there was a significant update on the story concern the

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: family from Billa Wheeler. Before we jump into what that was,

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: can you run us through what the last couple of

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: months have looked like for that family.

59
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, the Mura Huppen family came to Perth in

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: June after their youngest daughter, Tarnica, had quite a severe

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: blood infection and she wasn't able to get the medical

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: care that she required while on Christmas Island, which is

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: where they've been for the two years prior to that.

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: So Ever, since June and once Taranaka came out of hospital,

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: they've been living in Perth on bridging visas. The two parents,

66
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: Na dezen Priya and their eldest daughter, Coppaka. They've been

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: on bridging visas, but the government has always denied a

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: bridging visa to the youngest daughter, Tarnica. So yesterday's announcement

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: was that the Immigration Minister Alex Hawk has allowed the

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: family to stay in Australia for another twelve months on

71
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: bridging visas, but once again they've denied that to Tarnica.

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: So what does that mean exactly? Because Tarnkah hasn't been

73
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: a lot to have a bridging visa, the family is

74
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: stuck in Perth and they cannot go back to Billa Wheeler,

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: which is where they were prior to Christmas Island and Billy.

76
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: Do we know why Tarnica hasn't received the same visa.

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: That's not abundantly clear, but we do know that by

78
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: withholding that bridging visa, the government isn't allowing the family

79
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: to go back to Billa Wheeler, which is of course

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: the community that they've known and they've loved for so long.

81
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: So it's not completely clear. The government hasn't answered that question,

82
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: but it does mean that they can't go back to

83
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: Billa Wheeler.

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: And what do you see as the next steps from

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: here for the family, what kind of happens now?

86
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: Last week I spoke to Angela Fredericks, who is a

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: close family friend, and she said, you know, there's an

88
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: ongoing court battle over whether a bar which prevents the

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: family from applying for further bridging visas can be lifted.

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: But basically it's now up to Minister Hawk, who has

91
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: a brief in front of him pertaining to Tarannica's case,

92
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: and he basically has the sole power to use his

93
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: ministerial discretion to allow Tarnicah's protection claim to be heard.

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: So it's up to him whether the family are allowed

95
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 3: to go back to Billa Wheeler or not. There's also

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: another legal challenge which is surrounding the daughter's citizenship, and

97
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: they were both born in Queensland, so obviously they're Australian born,

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: and that legal challenge is ongoing as well.

99
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: So obviously, earlier this year there was some news about

100
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: Tarnica not doing well medically and that's why she was

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: medically evacuated to Perth. Do we know how she's doing now, Yeah, So.

102
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: When I spoke to Angela, she said that Tanica was

103
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: doing much better, and she said that, you know, the

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: girls are really enjoying living in Perth and being a

105
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: part of this new community where they don't have the

106
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 3: constraints they had while on Christmas Island. They said that

107
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: the girls are going to school and they love exploring

108
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: different parks every week. But on top of that, both

109
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: girls are still attending regular health checks and they also

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: receive psychological support due to the toll of detention and

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: the trauma that they have experienced over these past three years.

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: Billy, thanks for that reporting. We really appreciate it and

113
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll keep us up to date with any

114
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: further developments with the family. For everybody else out there,

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: have a fantastic weekend, stay safe, go the demons, and

116
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: we will speak to you on Monday.
