Speaker 2 (00:16):
Went off to Australia. We go, Murray Olds, Welcome to
the program.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Good, very good morning to you, and I hope you
have lovely Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Lovely Christmas. Very impressed at you getting out real early
on Boxing Day. You kind of gone hard on Christmas Day.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Well, very modest, very modest amounts. I actually had a
lot of good fun that baiting a couple of the
English people that are out here to the cricket.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yes, today is a cricket. We'll get into that a
little bit later on. But we've got a new poll
out and what's happened to Labor is fair to say that,
particularly in the lead up to Christmas, it hasn't been
a good run for them.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It hasn't been a good run for Labor. But that
has not shown up in this analysis of the last
three months of two months. I beg your partner of
polls in the Australian newspaper, the Murdock Press, this survey
and it doesn't focus specifically on the travel scandal and
(01:08):
then on anti Semitism. So what we find the Liberals
and Nationals are completely on the nose older voters, those
without the university degree, So the poorly educated older people
are swinging behind paul Enhansen in One Nation, you know,
and young people are running absolute running one hundred miles
(01:29):
an hour away from from the conservative side of politics.
And what you've got in Queensland because there has a
been a completely strong, absolute, rock solid state that is
support so that you know, the coalition, the Liberal Party
in the National Party, it's been absolutely rock solid there.
This is where all that all the people are abandoning
(01:51):
the coalition Labor, by contrast, it's from him to thirty
three percent support right one Nation's eighteen coalitions down to
just over twenty six to twenty seven percent. So what
this tells us It looks like that I'll be more
interested in the pole perhaps in the new year that
will reflect the latest, you know, the dreadful run that
(02:14):
Labor had in the run up for Christmas, Bondai Beach
of course, and the travel scandal. But right now you
just have to think happens above. There's no opposition here.
The real opposition is going to be Pauline Hansen and
her racist policies. That have been around for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But the anti Semitism is still still raging. We have
a fire bombing of a car and some killed her
with Hanneka decorations on it, So the anti city is
still there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
They look, you're going to get idiots everywhere. It doesn't
matter what governments do and what police forces managed to do.
If there's a lone idiot out there who wants to
put the thing's a great idea to At ten to
three on Christmas morning, there's a sign that the car
is owned by a rabbi and his family down in Melbourne,
sitting out there on the road and said killed. He
(03:02):
had a great, big Haneker billboard on top of the vehicle,
just a little run about. Well let's set this on fire,
okay more? And that's a great idea, wasn't idiot? So
the police were there quickly. The family had to be
moved out briefly because because of the fire you've had
political leaders condemning it, of course very angry, and then
(03:24):
alban Easy and then the Premier of Victoria. There's no
room for this idiocy over here. I mean, the whole
climate right now is pretty bloody sensitive. It's extremely sensitive.
On the other hand, you've got the news that Ahmed Ahmed,
the guy who tackled one of the Bondai government, could
(03:44):
be out of hospital by Monday. He's had multiple surgeries, mate,
and he can move his arm and his tinkers again. Apparently,
who's got family coming here from Syria to see him,
and he's got on the go fund.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
He's got millions of two and a half mill he
has got two and a half mill And I'll carry
on Murray saying that the Morrison Sofia German who lost
their lives tackling the the things that did this sort
of stuff, their family are receiving nothing and they not
got enough attention. I'm getting quite a lot of feedback
about people going yeah, how about that. But there we go, Murray.
(04:18):
I thank you so much for getting up early on
Boxing Day. Enjoy the Boxing Day tests and of course
the Sydney Hobart is today as well.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
