It just turns at the last minute, chasing them all
the way to the sand.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Using a surfboard as a stretcher. What a community name.
They carried the sixteen year old up Cabareta Beach. He'd
been seriously hurt, bitten twice on the arm and the leg.
Speaker 5 (00:48):

stable condition.

Melbourne detectives have charged a man with the murder of
twenty three year old Joshua Bishop, a month after Bishop's

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Detectives have changed to twenty seven year.

Old West Meadows man with murder on Sunday night and
he is due to face court today.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
All parts of New South Wales are already flood watch.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
As the Bureau of Meteorology urges city siders to brace
for a rapidly approaching weather system called a cyclone bomb.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
But ultimately what that means is this weather system intensifies
very quickly. Tuesday and Wednesday are really the two days
where we expect the weather to become extensive and severe.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
This bomb cyclone system is expected to unleash gale force
winds and up to two hundred and fifty millimeters of rain.
The SEES has now activated all of its eleven thousand volunteers.
The warning area extends from Coffs Harbor to Beager along
the east coast, with Sidney Wright smack bang in the middle.
The jury in the Mushroom Lunch murder trial of Aaron
(02:40):
Patterson will begin deliberations today.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The accused triple murderer's trial.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Has been running for ten weeks, with the judge set
to deliver his final instructions to the jury today. Fourteen
jurors will then face a ballot, bringing the number of
jurors who will determine miss Patterson's fate down to twelve.
The group will then be sequested to begin deliberations to
determine if the fifty year old deliberately killed three of
(03:05):
her relatives and attempted to kill a fourth. Aaron Patterson
denies all charges against her well. From tomorrow, machetes and
swords will be made illegal to purchase in South Australia
in a bid to crack down on the increase of
young people arming themselves in public places. The laws will
mean no one under eighteen will be allowed to buy
(03:26):
what's being deemed as a dangerous knife.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Youth will be able to purchase things like butter knives
or other knives in it that you would see in
a cutlery set, but really any knife with a point
is something that we considered to be dangerous and they
will no longer be able to be sold.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The knife Band expanding from schools to tafe, childcare centers,
universities and places of worship. South Australians will have three
months to anonymously surrender their weapons or risk two years
behind bars. It's been revealed a South Australian former reality
Showken tests and allegedly attacked police after being charged with murder.
(04:04):
Ex Beauty and the Geek contestant Tamika Chesser was charged
with beheading her partner Julian's Story and setting fire to
his remains.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
In their Port Lincoln home.
Speaker 2 (04:13):

Were top US officials behind orca so calling on Anthony
Abernesi to pay the White House a visit to keep
the submarine deal afloat lived Isabel.

Mullen in Canberra, is he mourning to you? Now?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
They say the PM needs to meet with Donald Trump,
and soon.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
They do, Eddie, good morning. Look, Anthony Aberzi has faced
plenty of criticism for not being able to pull off
a meeting with the US President since he was re elected.
But this time these calls are coming, like you said,
from members of the US administration rather than members of
our federal opposition. Now they've told the US House of
Representatives that it's important that Anthony Albanesi make this trip
(05:06):
in person. Donald Trump, as we know, values in person relationships.
They've stressed that he's a deal maker and no doubt
he'll be looking for Anthony Albanesi to increase defense spending
after that major win at the NATO Summit, NATO countries
agreeing to lift defense spending to five percent of GDP.
It is worth noting that our Prime minister has already
(05:28):
tried to meet with Donald Trump in person at the
G seven in Canada. He was snubbed by the US President,
who cited rising tensions in the Middle East. So tomorrow
it will be Penny Wong, our Foreign Minister making that
trip to Washington, her second visit since Donald Trump was
re elected, to meet with her US counterpart Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Eddie thank you as here well.
Speaker 2 (05:51):

concerns Elaine conditions are so poor they're dangerous for the
cyclists and cars that use them. Despite Council saying the
lanes are degrading rapidly and a risk to cyclists, no
funding has been set aside to fix problem in the
council's draft budget. There are calls this morning for the
lanes to be removed immediately, with replacement lanes redesigned to
(06:15):
ensure cyclist safety. Pinney, South Wales state government has set
aside two point four million dollars in this year's budget
to maintain an app designed to help young people quit vaping.
The centerpiece spend comes despite a boom in the black market.
The government says a further forty eight point five million
dollars will be used across the next five years to
(06:36):
double the number of health inspectors and for all out
a new tobacco licensing scheme as well. All millions of
Australians will see big changes to payments, benefits and savings.
In tomorrow's start of the new financial year July one,
we'll see the national minimum wage jump three point five percent,
showing the next full pay packet for two point six
(06:56):
million workers. Employers will increase their super payments from eleven
point five percent to twelve percent, sendling payments or rise,
while paid parental leave increases to twenty four weeks. But
the new financial year will bring rising power prices, local
government charges, as well as the Commonwealth's news supertax that
slugs returns on big balances. A Melbourne VFL player has
(07:21):
rocketed to newfound stardom after pulling in one of the biggest,
most freakish marks in footy history. Daniel Wood says he's
still coming to terms with his high flying heroics, drawing
comparisons to the most famous grabs of all time.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
It's one small step for Dan, one giant leap for
Dan's kind. Still not convinced watch it again, but slower.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
A bit of a blur, honestly, But I thought of
got so high that ones I like marked it and
controlled it. I genuinely realized how far down it was,
and so that was a kind of terrifying prospects.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Hundreds were stunned in yesterday's Eastern Footy League clash between
Blackburn and Baldwyn. Even opposition players wanted to replay the clip,
going viral as Wood proved it's lonely up in space.
The grab drawing comparisons to some of the game's most
iconic speckys Sean Smith, Gary Moorecroft, Leo Barry and of
(08:28):
course Jezzer.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
You grow up sort of idolizing all these guys and
to be mentioned in the same sentence is pretty special.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well, yesterday Wood was out of this world. Today he
was the center of it, first up a slot on
Seven's Footy Feast, then earning the praise of seven's AFL team.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
It's one of the best marks I've ever seen and
held it all the way.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Ye incredible one, perfectly timed leap, rocketing Daniel Wood to
New Heights, Theodoropolis seven years, How.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Good you, beauty checking mondays, whether now Brisbane reign in seventeen,
Sydney Shower two and eighteen before that, Bomb cyclone hits camera,
