Hallo Hannah. How good were those Wallabies on the weekend?

Mate?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
You guys have every reason to be stoked about that.
How good was James O'Connor.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
A brilliant I told you to bs.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
You were snack talking him on Friday, and I told
you Thursday or whenever, I can't even remember. And I
told you playing one season with the Crusaders was going
to make the boy and it did.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, that's it.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I mean, he's a bench player for a New Zealand
franchise and he's starting.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Fly half for the Wallabies.

And look we've knocked off South Africa the first time

Speaker 3 (00:41):
We're gonna we're gonna beat the All.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Blacks when they played the Blenderslow Cup here in Perth
in October.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
You guys are cooked.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well. Look I'll tell you what with I mean, listen, Ollie,
with like, with respect though, and not to blow smoke
up ourselves, but this is what happens when you play
like a New Zealand. You've got James O'Connor who's learned
to play here. You've got Joe Schmidt who was a
keywi Like if you guys, this is how good our
rugby is, so your actual credible contenders now because we're

(01:10):
helping you out mate.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
That sidestep from Max Jorgensen and Tom Wright just incredible.
And unfortunately Harry Wilson's done his knee, so a little
bit of strife there, but just you know what, he's great.
Like all jokes aside, rugby is back in this country
and for rugby with a World Cup obviously on our
doorstep to be held here in Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
We need this heather. We desperately need it for the game,
which is really exciting. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I'm actually thrilled. It's a better for us as well.
Now tell me about this man hunt.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, this is a bit scary, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
A Forest Lodge hotel yesterday afternoon here in Sydney, when
all of a sudden there is known to other crime games,
by the way, but a whole group of people have
been in there watching an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight from
about midday when a bloke name Maradonna Yalda was injuring
a shot several times outside the hotel and his associate

(01:59):
Guilbert Shino killed and they were peppered with bullets as
they tried to flee the shooting. As I said, these
groups are known to each other. And what really worries
police in the western suburbs of Sydney is this is
all crime related. This is all organized gangs, one on
top of the other, sort of the Melbourne underworld that
we had those particular crime fights going back into sort

(02:21):
of twenty years ago or so. It's really spreading around
Sydney at the moment and it's getting away from police.
So they're on the front foot with this. They're on
a manhunt at the moment to try and find these
people who fled the scene. There was about sixty people
in the pub at the time and it wasn' until
this morning anyways, still closing down that area of Western Sydney.
But it's a real worry about these organized crime gangs
in Western Sydney.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Right, Did Albin Easy say anything about what they actually
managed to get out of this phone call overnight?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
We just said everyone's enthusiastic about achieving peace in Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Was your PM on the call?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
No, Oli Oli, he was asleep because it was one
of the one of the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Look if we've been up the night before cheering the
wall of he's on against the spring box, let's be honest.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
But obviously the Japanese PM, the Canadian PM was there.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
But yeah, Albo, he was pretty keen to tell everybody
on his social media this morning that I have been up
overnight everyone I've involved with the call. Obviously that's not
the main call, is it? Because as we know, Zelenski
has now arrived in Washington. So it's a very interesting day,
isn't it. Heather, and I know that will be glued
to what's happening over in the US. But Albo just
said that it's been very clear it's illegal. It's in
a moral invasion of a sovereign nation that the Ukrainian

(03:26):
people have shown courage and resilience and resisting a much
more powerful neighbor.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
So I think he just took the opportunity to stand
on his soapbox.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yep, loves it now, Quantus. I mean, this was a
choice thing, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, it was a joyce thing.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, and by the way, it's not just that, as
you said, it was one hundred million New Zealand dollars
today in those fines. But Heather, this is also on
top of Quantus having to pay effectively one hundred and
forty odd million New Zealand dollars already to date in
compensation for those illegally fired workers. So when it all
adds up, I mean, it just cost Quantus probably about

(03:59):
to undred and fifty million New Zealand dollars. So this
is eighteen hundred employees, as you said, who were sacked
during COVID the ground handling operations. And part of that
as well is when they went to rehire everybody, they
were told you just can't take any more industrial action
in the future. So they've obviously been handed this penalty today.
Cortus could have been fined a little bit more than that.

(04:21):
In fact, they could have been fined on was one
hundred and forty million New Zealand dollars today and never
seeing about one hundred million dollar US New Zealand dollar fine.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
So I think that they have if you like, almost
got enough lightly.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, wow, that's a really big summer money. Hey, thanks
very much, really appreciating Molly Oliver Peterson six PR Perth
Live Presente for.
