Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And right now, Donna de Mayo, Australia correspondent, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Donna, good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Now the situation in Sydney. These guys sit down for lunch,
three people get shot in broad daylight.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yes, Mars gunman shot three people at a Sydney kebub
shop and the word brazen has been used a lot
because yes, it was a daylight attack. It was the
middle of the afternoon in southwest Sydney. And one of
the three victims of this horrifying shooting in Auburn has
had two previous attempts on his life, according to police.
We've heard from the acting New South Wales Police Commissioner,

(00:34):
Peter Thurtle, and he says it's beyond comprehension that three
people could be gunned down in Sydney in daylight. Eight
shots were fired. Now the three people wounded, a twenty
six year old man, another yet to be identified, and
a fifty year old woman who is a shop employee.
Now all of them are in hospital. The twenty six
year old had reported to police on bail an hour earlier.

(00:57):
So the acting police Commissioner says it's outrageous that, as
he put it, these people have taken their fight to
the streets of Sydney. Now we know about a task
force that was set up about six or seven months ago,
and it's a task force for about one hundred and
fifty detectives and they're going to investigate this latest shooting.
But it was set up, as I mentioned, a few

(01:19):
months ago, after nine shootings between warring criminal gangs, and
as we heard from the acting Police Commissioner, as I said,
it's not what we expect in this city, all.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Right, And what about Trump and Albanese's was a meeting,
I should say in Canada, the G seven? What are
they going to talk about? What does Albanese want?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Any minute? Now, any minute? So I think it's going
to be tomorrow morning, very very very early our time.
And it is the first face to face meeting between
Albanzi and Donald Trump. Now they have had three, as
Albanese put it, constructive phone conversations in the past. These

(02:02):
phone chats have happened, but the PM says that there
are many issues the US president is dealing with at
the moment, but he does expect to have a constructive
engagement with Trump. Now we know that Albanezi has previously
said that Trump's tariff regime is an act of economic
self harm, so we can only imagine that. Of course,

(02:22):
the proposed tariffs on Ozzie Steele is they're going to
come up, and he hopes to revisit those and also
discuss the benefits of the orcust Agreement, saying that of
course he believes that all three nations, the US, Australia
and the UK all benefit from ORCUS, so he's hoping
to talk that up as well. So let's wait and

(02:44):
see how it all pans out between the Prime Minister
and Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
All right, Donald, appreciate your time this morning. Done to Mayor,
our Australia correspondent. For more from early edition with Ryan Bridge,
