Speaker 2 (00:16):
Time to say a very good morning too. Actually, I
think we might have lost Murray olds there, so we'll
be back. Oh we've got Murray there, have we got
you there?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Murray?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Very good morning, dear boy. Yes, good morning to you else.
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now there's been a man in court charge with shooting
at police during a pursuit in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Extraordinary stuff. It's like something straight out of the movies.
And he's twenty years old. Would you believe that this
happened to look at all?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Unfolded?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
On New Year's Eve, CCTV footage captured a couple of
guys in Sydney's Western So it's trying to bust into
our home, all covered up in black and armed and
kicking indoors and whatnot. They couldn't get into this house
was apparently was fairly well fortified. Anyway, they are way
(01:03):
in a car and police are on their tail. Well,
you know, the high speed pursuit through Sydney's West. This
guy allegedly got to say, allegedly leans out of the
passenger door and opens fire at pursuing police, either with
a glock handgun or another handgun that he had in
the car. Now the police here used blocks. It's a
(01:24):
police weapon. So anyway, the car has crashed, the gunman's
ledged gunmans run away, the driver has been arrested. Inside
the car police have found these two pistols, a hand
grenade and a semi automatic machine gun. Now both of
these kids are twenty. Anyway, the other guy, the shooter,
(01:45):
a led shooter, was on the run for a week.
The driver in custody and he's obviously given up enough information.
They have arrested the second guy at Brisbane Airport, apparently
trying to leave, and he's been extradted.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Down here to New South Wales.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Police aren't sure if they're dealing with a contract killing
gone wrong or a simple home invasion of was something
as low renders, you know, a drug deal gone wrong perhaps,
But in any event, eyebrows raised very high.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Indeed at police headquarters.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
When you got a car and a couple of guys
in that car with machinery like that, that's pretty serious stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I guess we should be.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Really, they didn't decide to throw that grenade out the window.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Absolutely right, pretty surreal.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
There's been a fatal seaplane crash off Perth. With that
several people have been killed.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yes, this happened early last night Eastern Australia time, four
o'clock Perth afternoon, Perth time. It's a privately owned seaplane
and it was trying to take off, we understand from
Rottenest Island.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Which is off the coast of Perth.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Police have been told a bunch of witnesses on shore
and in other boats Thompson Bay I think it's called anyway,
the aircraft has taken off from the water, clipped a
rocky outcrop and gone straight down into the ocean and
broken up. You've got three people still missing a stage
the morning here on the eastern side of Australia. Not
sure if they've recovered those bodies yet, but they think
(03:14):
there are three people dead. Three people were taken to
hospital from the scene pretty seriously hurting. One person miraculously
survive with that any injuries at all. Members of the
public rushed in to try and help, but there was
nothing that could be done for the three people that
were missing. So look, there's a major inquiry underway into
(03:34):
exactly what's happened here? This was not a Quantus plane
or anything like that. Apparently it was a privately owned aircraft.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Ah well, that's pretty tragic, isn't it. And a proposal
for two tiers of test cricket has gotten the thumbs up.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
The yeah, well, the thumbs up from you know, the
big three in world cricket India, Australia and.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
England. Australia and India. But of course you know there's.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
A lot of people over here absolutely slapped us saying
are you kidding? Greedy rich cricket nations want to get
even and richer. It's the plan that's been dreamed up
with the three of them. Apparently they would play each
other more frequently. Instead of a four year cycle, the
plan calls for a three year cycle where the big
three would play each other home and away tours they
generate so much money. But critics say it will diminish
(04:24):
the value of tours like the one we've just seen
here this summer between Australia and India. Record crowds extraordinary
and both sides going absolutely hammer and tongs, So it
will diminish the value of these iconic tours and impoverished
minor countries like the West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, maybe
even New Zealand. But New Zealand would be you know,
(04:46):
like the little brother. I imagine the way that they
are looking at this anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You know, the.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Australian and Indian administrators would have been giddy after the
success of the summer here and you know the accountants
are all saying, you, beauty, let's have a whole lot
more of this. So there's a wee way to go
on this yet, well, in fact, quite a long way
to go. But certainly watch the space because you have
greedy cricket administrators with their hands out for even more.
(05:12):
Television broadcasters want more.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Where you fit it all in? I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, an Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanezi has climbed into
there's a drama unfolding around Cabana's Cabana's cabana.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Cabana's cabanas. That's right. Look, it's very European.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
If you go to Italy, you see these lovely stone
you know, Italian beaches compared to it, Australian beaches are horrible. Yeah,
a lot of the horrible stone things get you get
a sore bum when you're sitting down on your towel.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So what they do. They've got these lovely ideas.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
You can go and rent a bloody great big beach
umbrella and a couple of little seats for some sort
of exorbitant fee, and you go and plunk your bum
on the beach.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Or you go and plunk your towel.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And your umbrella and your little seat, and you go
and leave it for a bit and then you come back,
you know, as often or as infrequently as you want. Well,
this goes right against the Australian egalitarian notion at the
beach for everybody. So you've got a few entrepreneurs who
are setting these things up up and down the coast.
I know they tried it. Certainly in Sydney's Eastern Somewhere's
(06:15):
Bondai Beach. A guy wanted to quarantine part of the
beach for these cabanas.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They all said, are you out of your mind? Bugger off,
We're not interested.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So there are some hardy entrepreneurs who are still having
a crack at this. I really doubt if it's going
to have any sort of traction. Here might be a
few snobby types up the end. You know, no zinc
cream for them. For goodness, they go no dear boy,
but you know they can have their Q camber sandwiches
and mowe it. The Aussies are down the other end
of the beach, drinking beer and having a good time.
(06:46):
So look, it's not going to fly. If it does
fly is an a're going to fly in a few
little select parts. The beaches are here for everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I guess the kabanas that what do they argue is
that that's about being son smart as well? Is that
what people who want to.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Mark please please, You know you're going to get that
line rolled out if you're not son smart. Now, when
you go to the beach, you're a moron. It's on
television non stop, it's on radio, it's and all the
printed meat put on this onscreen, idiot. And by the way,
wear a hat when you go to the beach other
where you're gonna get burned.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Hey, by the way, when you go to those Italian beaches,
aren't you supposed to hire a dick chair so you
don't get the saw bum under the towel?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, I think it's part of the view, that's right.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I have some you know, some liveried waiter coming around
with busy wardman counterpace out of standing.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
AH.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Sounds fantastic. Thanks very much.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
