A drive-by shooting targeting a funeral has prompted a bigger investigation carried out by Australian police.
In an exclusive interview, Assistant Commissioner Scott Cook from NSW Police said the recent surge in shootings, kidnappings and firebombings was a sign of a 'shift' in the world of organised crime.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds says police are investigating 'violence brokers' operating under the directive of criminals offshore.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Marry answer Australia, hell mate.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Very good afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Barnaby Joyce says the Buondai Beach massacre was the political
bomb that sparked one nation's phenomenal rise this year.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes, indeed, Barnaby Joyce, the former Deputy Prime Minister leader
of the National Party at one time. He says that
not only was the bondo Beach tragedy this political bomb
quote unquote, he said his defection little were of hubris.
Perhaps here his defection from the Nationals has made it
(00:32):
socially acceptable to become a Pauline Hanson supporter. He's modestly
crediting himself. It looks like with the massive jump in
one nation's primary voter over here for the first time,
because we have this preference system you have to vote.
If there are six candidates in your election, you have
to mark them one to six and those preferences that
are distributed until they are exhausted, and so one nation
(00:55):
now the.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Primary vote of one nation.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Pauline Hanson's rag tag bunch of political halfworths according to
many others they are political saviors, has now surpassed the
governments for the first time in Newspole history and so
Barnaby Joyce is saying that look he and not he alone,
but Hanson people have warmed to them. And I don't
(01:17):
think it's because Barnaby has come across. It's because people
have fed up andrew with the what passes for political
correctness over here. They don't trust anyone. They certainly don't
trust labor, They certainly don't trust the Liberal Party, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean migration is one issue, you know, well, mate, mate.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I mentioned the statistics that came out over the last
couple of days which shows the populations of Australia because
of immigration has increased by one three hundred and seventy
five per day since Alberanese got in, double the rate
of both the hawk Keating government and John Howard's coalition.
And then Alberanzi wonders why people are a little bit
worried about all these migrants all over the place.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, I mean there's a couple of things to tease
out about.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I mean, migrants have kept the economy bubbling along because
they're all out there spending money that they're working and
paying taxes. They're buying fridges and cars and homes and
so on. You've also got migrants who are doing jobs
that no other Australians want to do, you know, in
the age care sector for example. So you've got you know,
there are swings that are around about Certainly immigration is
(02:25):
a massively red hot issue over here and the party
that exploits that or defends that, you know, the best.
And the run up to the next election, which is
two years away, I think we'll do pretty well. Will
Hanson be around at the strength in two years.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Time, We don't know. We don't know. Is this going
to run out of puff? Certainly right now she's riding.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well, well, she will still be there if you keep
the immigration at the same level, because people also get
upset when they go to a hospital waiting queue and
they actually see a whole lot of immigrants in front
of them at three and seventy five a day.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
But how again with the nursing stars, they're all from Ireland,
from Scotland, from England, from India, from the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let's talk about crime, mate, because this is a bit juicy.
New South Wales police say underworld hits are now being
contracted out to fifteen year olds.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Exactly right, there's this new era that we've that we've
we've kind of ushered in here really big time in
the last two or three years, where you'll have a
home shut up in the middle of the night. Apparently
machine guns are easy to get, even if it's only
a long armor rifle, but handguns there a dime a dozen,
(03:32):
and so you've had this kind of drive by shooting.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We had one last.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Week at a funeral, a funeral service with an AK
forty seven shoved out a windown. Anyway, the once upon
a time, the underworld executed its own, but in a
much more organized fashion, if we can put it that way,
I mean unpaid debts, drug ripoffs, new nameer that was
out there and they were executed, you know, and I
(03:58):
suppose the fashion that were not seeing.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That honorable in an honorable way. Is that the word
you're looking for? A gentlemanly way of execution?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You know? Wow? You know, like Donnie Brasco, Yeah, like
god Father.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
These days, you've got people, here's the quote the police said,
a violence broker, just like your mortgage broker, your insurance brokeer.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You've got a violence broker.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Operating on the orders of in many cases criminal people
off shure they have no contact the offshore people of
varcotic other than to send out the orders for a hit.
How much will it cost to get rid of person X? Well,
the police have said in recent months there was a
murder contract initially valued at three hundred thousand dollars to
(04:41):
off someone. It was eventually whittled down to be three
thousand bucks to be carried out by a fifteen year
old life.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No life is cheap. Isn't that terrible? Now Australia's in
the midst of a dodgy durry epidemic. Meanwhile, the tobacco
industry do you like that? You can take that a
dodgy dorry epidemic. Meanwhile, tobacco industry is calling for a
cut in tobacco taxas.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Tobacco tax now the government's addicted to it, just like
put the four buckers who were sucking on the other
end of dries are addicted.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
To those as I was for decades.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The industry now they provides so much tax the government
can't say no to it. But here's the thing. The government,
because its tax so much, there's been this multi billion
with a B, multi billion dollar industry grown up with
well they call it chop chop. It's tobacco that's you know,
has grown on farms out in the bush.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's supplied now.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It comes in a lot of it from overseas, but
a lot of it's homegrown as well, and they're coming in.
It's worth billions of dollars. People are shunning a packet
of cigarettes for sixty or seventy dollars for twenty five
cent Can you imagine that sixty or seventy bucks for
a packet of cigarettes. Now you can get them for
five or ten or fifteen bucks for the really top
not stuff and the legitimate tobacco. Indwis Is obviously is
(06:02):
worried about losing a lot of revenue to people buying
chop chop. It's also saying it's giving rise to criminal
stuff where they fire bombing each other's shops. Someone's going
to die. I think people have died already. If you
drop the tax, make our product more affordable, you'll get
rid of the criminal element. So I don't know what
the government does, but right.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
It holps his choice. There it helps his choice, But
there we go. Things change. Hey, Murray Olds, I thank
you so much. It's the quarter to five. Barry Soper
wants to talk about politics. Of course, the big one
is the LNG facility in Tarlahaki. Who's going to pay
for it? Luke says, bring back public owned infrastructure, private
corporate owned equals a cheaper option is actually a lie, okay,
And Randall says it's not that hard. It's called user pays,
(06:44):
and of course the gent tailors will have to pass
on the costs. You don't have to use it to
You don't have to use it, Randall. You can install,
sell the power collection, or sell the hot water heating
and then you won't pay the user pays. That's not
the point. Really, well, look get into the point with
Varius Opernicks.
