one hundred bullets rained down on this shopping streep in
Croydon Park. This is really scary stuff on the streets

arested a sixty year old man two hours after his

Telstra and tch PG. She wants to make sure, particularly
heading into summer, that the triple zero network isn't going
to go down.

Speaker 2 (02:34):

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Expecting quite a hostile reception from the Australian Communications Minister.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's yum. Yeah. I don't know, feeling like.

porridge jaffle with rum banana is being acknowledged just perhaps
the greatest porridge recipe in the world. At the Golden
