Australian convicted triple-murderer Erin Patterson has been accused of tampering with prison food, which has reportedly made a fellow inmate sick.
Patterson was reportedly given a job in the prison kitchen while awaiting trial, with accusations surfacing after her conviction was announced.
Australian correspondent Charles Croucher says investigations are still ongoing - and more will come to light given how much information on this case has been suppressed.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Across the Tasman Robert Irwin has apologized for doing a
dine and dash at a restaurant in New South Wales,
seas he got to pay because he was so popular
and mobbed by his fans who all wanted selfies.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I made sure, I said, hight absolutely, everyone cheers, Thanks
so much.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I have a good night.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I see you later. And then the next morning I
wake up and realize I never paid for my salad.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Oh no, So what does he do? He goes back, apologizes,
pays for the salad and given the restaurant some free
advertising on his Instagram.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
There are eight million of you guys on here, so
you know what to do. I have tagged them, go
and support the Jetty Pavilion in Coffs Harbor. I am
going to be coming back up through Coffs Harbor and
I am going to be giving you in person the
money for that salad, because today is not the day
I start my life of crime.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
He's just lovely, isn't he. Twenty three away from five
Now Charles Crutcher, Channel nine, chief political editor with US Charles,
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We originally a country of criminals for the bread, so
maybe we were still continuing that tradition.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
This is true. You cannot shake it. Allegations that, speaking
of Aaron Pattison tampered with prison food.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, this has gone from one of the people that
were in the maximum security prison that Aaron Pattison is in.
They have accused her of tampering effectively with the food
inside prison and making her sick during the wait for
her trial, which ended yesterday. It is another wrinkling. I
think there will be more to come on this as
(01:31):
we wait and see some of the details from inside
the courtroom eventually get released. It was heavily suppressed this
case because of how much Injuri is not just here
in oz Or you are across the ditch, but right
around the world. So because of that, and because they
need to try and find a jury in a small town,
which is always difficult in the first place, a lot
(01:51):
of the information has been suppressed. We wait to see
when those suppression wars will be lifted. It's going to
be a fascinating few weeks, even though we know the
verdict of that with an appeal expected.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, absolutely. Now your RBA has just held rate steady.
What's the word there?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, really surprising results. A lot of the banks had
already facted down another quarter of percentage point rate cut.
Last time the Reserve Bank met, the governor had said
they considered the double cut back then, and since then
the economic numbers have gotten sort of more conservative or
more concerning, depending on where you are. The inflation rates
(02:28):
down at two point four percent. There's another inflation rate
number coming out not too long away, and that before
the next time the Reserve Bank meets, that's on the
twelfth of August, and that seems almost a certainty now
to be a rate cut, But we wait and see
what the governor has said and what factors are keeping
and playing on the mind at a Reserve bank. Probably
that the new announcement regarding tariffs will be one of
(02:50):
those things, and also just some sort of steady jobs figures.
But really surprising that at three point eight five percent
that's where they'll stay.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, I think a lot of them are a gettorry
about Trump and what's happening, And you know, are you
better to just hold for a five or a sick
before we keep going climbing down the ladder? Albert confirming
a visit to China.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, you'll go on this weekend go for six days
over their three stop trip, largely expected. But what this
does is meant that he will visit a China, will
meet with the President g before he meets with President Trump.
Now some of that is because of what happened at
the G seven with Donald Trump leaving early, but that
is causing some consternation here because of the tariff discussion
(03:31):
that's going on. Also the Orchest submarine deals up for
review from the White House, so getting in the room
with Donald Trump is probably a benefit to that. Now
people inside the government here think that things are pretty
good between Australia and the US, and given there's so
much more going on in the world, what this will
do though is once again just raise the prospect of
where we sit as you struggle with the same problem
(03:52):
when it comes to a defense agreement with the US,
but a real finance and trade agreement with China. And
once again, and in so many ways, New Zealand accord
in the middle of that, not just the usual stops
at Shanghai and Beijing, but also heading to a third
city to talk pandas because Australia expecting a new pair
of pandas to be sent down Under and might get
(04:14):
our first look at them.
