Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good afternoon. It was the alleged lethal meal that gripped
the world, and this week a sleepy town and country
Victoria takes center stage in an international media circus as
accused killer chef Aaron Patterson goes on trial for the
murder of three relatives. Are still greepink file this report
from Morewell Well.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The court precinct here in Morewell is already busier than
usual ahead of Aaron Patterson's murder trial getting underway. Patterson
has pleaded not guilty to all charges after being accused
of murdering three family members and attempting to murder another
family member after hosting an allegedly deadly lunch at her
(00:43):
home in leon Gatha. Police alleged the fifty year old
mother of two cooked and served a beef Wellington that
allegedly contained death cap mushrooms, and that just days later,
Patterson's former in laws, Gail and Don Patterson, and Gail's sister,
Heather Wilkinson all died in hospital. Now this is a
highly anticipated trial that, instead of being heard in Melbourne,
(01:05):
is actually taking place about two hours away here at Morewell.
Accommodation is close to fully booked in the town with
plenty of international media also showing interest in the trial. There's,
in fact so much media covering this case that there'll
be a ballot system in the court because there'll only
be six seats available for journalists each day.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
A jury is said to be impaneled tomorrow morning, ahead
of hearing opening arguments from both the defense and the
prosecution on Wednesday. I'll be hearing more well for the
duration of the trial, and I'll bring you all of
the developments here on seven.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Estelle.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Thank you. While a developing story this afternoon. The families
with the six people killed in the Bondai Junction mass
stabbing attack a reliving their loved ones harrowing final moments
during a five week coronial inquest starting today. Jody Lee
is live in Sydney for US. Jodi, what have we
heard today?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Good afternoon more. Coroner Teresa O'Sullivan opened today's inquest by
directly addressing the families of the six Bondi Junctions stabbing victims.
She acknowledged their profound pain and loss and praised their
resilience at being able to take part in these proceedings
just a year after losing their loved ones. This five
week inquest will examine the circumstances around Joel Cauci's violent
(02:28):
rampage at Westfield in Bondi Junction. It will assess his
mental ill health, his involvement with New South Wales and
Queensland Police, as well as the security that was on
offer at the shopping center and the actions of New
South Wales Police Inspector Amy Scott, who shot and killed
Cauci on that day.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
The goal of this inquest is to work out what
happened and why, in order to identify any gaps in
systems and processes, and to learn valuable lessons from many
mens stakes that were made, allowing this court to make
recommendations that might save lives in the future.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
The inquest heard that Joel Caachi suffered from schizophrenia, he
had a fascination with knives and violence, and had been
smoking marijuana in the lead up to his murderous rampage.
Counsel assisting has collated almost two hundred and fifty statements
from witnesses who were at Bondi Junction Westfield on that day.
A range of expert psychiatrists, police officers and others will
(03:30):
give evidence during this five week inquest. Which will conclude
with the statements from the victims' families. Their well being
is a key priority for counsel assisting here, who is
adamant that those families won't be further traumatized by these proceedings.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Jody, thank you well. Behind in the polls and coming
off a loss in the Seven News election debate last night,
Peter Dutton hit a new roadblock today when his campaign
bus broke down. Meantime, Anthony Albanesi is under fire for
saying he can't text US President Donald Trump, claiming mister
Trump does not have a mobile phone. Here's political reported
(04:07):
Tim Leicster.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
This is and on the buses campaign. Daily, a bus
load of journalists follows each leader to their public appearances. Today.
On the Dutton side, it was an off the buses campaign,
the Liberal bus running aground on a Sydney traffic eye
campaign Dutton beached, but an instant hit on Breakfast TV.
(04:35):
A bit of drama there this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Ow Murray's bus actually bottomed out. A few moments of
gom and the camera but they're actually pushing this bus.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We're in the middle of Sydney in Martin Play, so
a little.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Bit of drama Peter Dutton's plan for a final week
blitz of twenty eight seats taking him to Port Stephens,
north of Newcastle for a tour of a wholesale grosser.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
The renewables only energy policy is a wrecking ball through
the economy and it's driving up the cost of bood,
the cost of everything when you go to the supermarket.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
The Prime minister who's announced funding for a domestic violence
trauma recovery center on the New South Wales central coast.
He was also pressed on issues in last nine seven
News debate, acknowledging he does not have the US president's
mobile number. In recent weeks, you haven't been able to
get on that phone.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
I don't have Donald Trump's number. I didn't have Joe
Biden's number. It's not the way it works between the
Australian Prime Minister and the US president.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
It's the Prime minister's bizarre suggestion that the President of
the United States does not have a mobile phone. I
think that will be news to the President and his
team as well.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
On claims his government knew in March about Russian pressure
to base military aircraft just thirteen hundred kilometers from Australia.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
Adults when it comes to intelligence, act like adults. They
don't engage in seeing every international issue as a domestic
political operation.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Trinity, the Prime Minister has been caught out lying again
Anthony Alberizi cramming events into his morning schedule.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Both leaders keen to let voters know they're running hard
five days out from the campaign's end.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Tim, thank you joining us now with their verdicts today.
Adam m crichton from the Istitute of Public Affairs and
cayleab Manaine, a former New South Wales Labor Party General secretary,
now with second Newgate. Good afternoon to both of you.
Lots of big moments last night. Let's start with a
bit of a gotcha moment the price of eggs now.
Mark Riley asked both leaders what the price of a
dozen eggs was. The Prime Minister was closer to the mark,
(06:37):
but mister Dutton said around four dollars. Now many of
us know it's closer to eight dollars fifty For you, Adam,
do you think these shows some are saying it's a
gotcha moment, but do you think it betrays the fact
that the liberal leader is out of touch with the
cost of living crisis? When he doesn't even know the
price of a dozen eggs.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Look, I don't think so. I mean, I think the
reality is that neither side is really offering a solution
to the cost of life crisis. They call it a crisis,
which implies something temporary. But this has been going on
for years now and it needs radical solutions. It's basically
a cost of government crisis, and certainly neither side of
politics is willing to change that. They basically agree on
everything substantive and that makes these debates unfortunately rather boring,
(07:19):
and you know, privately, I'm quite thankful that they're all
over now, Kayla.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Interesting from the debate last night, the fact that there
with a lot of the surveys, about thirty percent of
people in the room that were watching this debate were undecided.
Does that point to the fact that it's lesser of
the two evils.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Yeah, it's an interesting point. It's certainly the case that
this week thirty four percent of Australians will make up
their mind about this election. The vote is very soft
leading into the final seventy two hours of the campaign.
As we've seen in this election, at the start of
the campaign it was really a referendum on the Labor government.
But what Anthony Abernezi and the Labor campaign team have
(07:59):
done a great job doing is making it really about policies,
and so now this election is one of choice about
you know, I'd probably disagree that there are a lot
of different policies where they differ on, particularly on cost
of living.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Let's get to the Welcome to Country question. Last night
mister Dutton was pretty adamant about this, saying in some
circumstances this ceremony is overdone. The Prime Minister was very
careful to stay away from the whole controversy. Adam, your
thoughts on mister Dutton's position.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
On this, Well, look, I think that's where he shone
in the debate and I think he really should have
been stronger on this on Friday. I mean, I think
it's probably the case that the majority of Australians would
not support it welcome to Country on ANZAC Day in particular,
I mean, we have to remember we just had an
emphatic vote against the Voice and Peter Dutton was instrumental
in that, and I really think he should have He
(08:46):
should have tapped better, tapped into that sentiment for unity
amongst voters, but I think he's probably done it just
a little bit too late.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Kaylor. Interesting to note to the Prime Minister really stepped
away from the whole Voice referendum controversy last night, didn't he.
Speaker 11 (09:03):
Look he did.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
Pivot towards cost of living and really focusing on the
issues that matter today. And I think that's what the
Prime Minister has done very successfully throughout this campaign. He's
been speaking at rallies across Australia speaking about how important
it is that we focus on the future and also
providing that certainty that Australians need in this ever uncertain world.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Adam details in the Australian newspaper today that the Federal
government had been aware of Russia's request to use Indonesian
air fields before the election. Now this is really critical.
It plays into the narrative being pushed by mister Dutton
that the Prime Minister has a trouble with the truth.
What do you think this is because the Prime Minister
has avoided all questions about this today.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, it's a sensitive national security matter and I'm not
sure ordinarily the government would would just immediately tell everyone that,
but certainly in an election campaign and once these questions
are being asked. I think they need to be truthful
now about whether they knew or not, So that's what
I'd say about that. But actually this goes to the
point that, you know, there are these these major geopolitical
threats to Australia, major economic issues, you know, the fall
(10:08):
and living standards, and we're really just not talking about them,
you know, we're talking about airbnbs, you know, and the
price of eggs.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Taylor should have the Prime Minister been more transparent initially
a couple of weeks ago when this controversy was front
and center.
Speaker 10 (10:21):
Look, it is a difficult one, but really when we
get to the crux of it, campaigns are really about
what's affecting people every day, and people vote with their
hip pocket. We are now five days out from the
election and so it is absolutely right for the Prime
Minister and the opposition leader to be very squarely focused
on those issues that drive voter behavior, and we know
(10:43):
cost of living is that biggest issue.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Kaylor and Adam, we appreciate your thoughts this afternoon. Thank you,
Thank you, Janiws Justin and murder charges have been laid
against the driver behind a cart rampaging Canada, which killed
at least eleven people, a five year old the youngest
of the victims. US correspondent Rob Scott joins US Now
Live from Vancouver. Rob, what are authorities saying about this suspect, Well, Tash.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
We know that he is thirty years old and that
he's a resident, a local living here in Vancouver. Police
have not revealed what his potential motive for this horrible
incident may have been, but they have crucially ruled out terrorism, instead,
pointing to a man who has had serious mental health
issues for years and as a result, has had numerous
(11:31):
interactions with police. So far, he has been charged with
eight counts of second degree murder, but officers say that
many more charges could follow. After he was charged allegedly
with driving his black SUV through what was a busy
community festival celebrating Vancouver's Filipino community. Several people were knocked
(11:51):
over in the chaos. Eleven people confirmed dead. As you say,
the youngest just five years old, the oldest sixty five
years old.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
This is the darkest day in our city's history. While
I'm not prepared to speak about the potential motive, I
can now say with confidence that the evidence in this
case does not lead us to believe this was an
act of terrorism. I think this could happen just around
the corner. It's just so tragic and heartbroken for those
that were directly affected.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
So eleven people confirmed dead, but police fear that that
death hole could rise in the coming days because there
are more than twenty injured in nine hospitals across this city,
many of them critically injured. Today we have seen scores
of people come down to the scene to light flowers,
to light candles, and to shed a few tears as
they try to come to terms, try to understand what
(12:44):
happened here, if that's at all possible.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Tash in Vancouver, thank you. The death toll from a
violent explosion at Iranian Port has increased of forty Yellow
smoke leaked out of the building before the blast, which
was felt fifty kils away. More than one thousand people
have been injured. Earlier, a chemical agreement ingredient rather used
to make missile propellant, was reportedly delivered to the facility.
(13:11):
The trainee black Hawk pilot behind America's deadliest aviation disaster
in twenty years missed crucial instructions from air traffic control.
According to an investigation by The New York Times, Rebecca
Lowback accidentally spoke over ground cruise when they tried to
warn her of a nearby passenger jet. The captain also
(13:32):
missed instructions from her co pilot urging her to change
course moments before the crash, which claimed sixty seven lives.
Let's take a look at the latest finance news. We
joined this afternoon by James Towf from Ing Bank. James
Good Afternoon, Local shares continued to rally on those hopes
of easing international trade teachers.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
Yeah, you're right, Taj. There's now three consecutive sessions that
we've seen the market lifting is at the best levels
in around six weeks, with the AX two hundred above
eight thousand points, up about sixty two points today or
about three quarters of one percent. It follows gains on
Wall Street over the weekend on those easing tensions around
(14:12):
global trade. So what we've seen really on our market today,
gains are led by the likes of our healthcare and
also technology sectors. There's only one sector in the red
at the moment, and that's materials. With most commodity prices
just falling back a touch over the weekend. Brambles also
down quite sharply, more than five percent, the power maker
releasing a quarterly update slightly weak and than what the
(14:32):
market was hoping for, and the Ausi dollar has also
pulled back just a little bit as well. It's buying
around sixty three point eight US Censetash James, thank you.
Good afternoon. It was the alleged lethal meal that gripped
