00:00:03
Speaker 1: Good morning.
00:00:04
Speaker 2: Emergency services in Sydney are hard at work this morning after a brutal spring storm toppled trees and stop trains. Trees have fallen in Liverpool, Croydon Park and men I. The heavy rain coursed flooding at Sydney Airport and wind gusts up to ninety kilometers an hour were recorded in some areas. Queensand was hit with more wet weather overnight after a really hot and muggy Monday. The rainband bringing the soggy conditions is expected to move off shore today. Convicted triple mushroom killer Aaron Patterson is appealing her guilty verdicts after her bid was granted by Victoria's Court of Appeal. Patterson was found guilty of murdering her parents in lord Don and Gale Patterson, and Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson in July, and attempting to murder Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, fifty one year old, is serving a minimum prison sentence of thirty three years. The boss of Optics has revealed they waited almost day before they told customers that its triple zero outage caused three deaths and a Senate inquiry in Canberra. He was asked directly why it took so long to tell the government about the deaths. It took you six hours to inform the Federal government.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: It was my judgment Chair that it was important that the information provided was accurate.
00:01:23
Speaker 2: The Telcos Borders back CEO Stephen Rue for the job, while the Coalition wants Communications Minister Annika Wells to front the inquiry. The British man accused of stabbing eleven people on a train in England's East has faced court on attempted murder charges. He's been investigated in relation to three other incidents in Petersborough. A video has emerged an accused attacker brandishing a knife in a barbershop a day before the train attack. It's believed Anthony Williams boarded the train around seven thirty on Saturday night, with the first emergency calls made just about ten minutes later. Soon after, the driver made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon, allowing passengers to escape the train. The Coalition is on the brink of abandoning its net zero policy, with mounting pressure on Susan Lee to side with the Nationals. Live Now to Josh Martin and Camber Josh. It's a major leadership test for the opposition leader.
00:02:20
Speaker 3: Good morning, Eddie. Susan Lee is fighting for her political life and her leadership after we saw that horror News poll yesterday, a record low primary vote of twenty four percent. The day before we saw the National Party announced it would ditch a policy of net zero emissions by twenty fifty seven years. Understands, Susan Lee called a leadership meeting of her top leaders, and every one of those senior Liberals supported ditching net zero, apart from Health Shadow Health Minister Ann Rustin. Susan Lee will now likely make a decision before the last sitting week of the year before Christmas. That's how much pressure she's under. She obviously wants to keep away any leadership challenges to talk is Andrew Hasty or Angus Taylor may challenge. Liberal sources say Angus Taylor would have more support across the party rown but if they did ditch net zero, this would make powerbills the dominant issue of this parliament. Last time we saw inflation numbers dominating the political debate. This term, it would be power bills. They've gone up thirty nine percent since net zero was adopted. Of course, there was also the Ukraine War, but it will put pressure not just on Susan Lee but also on the Prime Minister in Labor to bring down power bills as well.
00:03:30
Speaker 4: Addie, thank you, Josh.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: The Reserve Bank is expected to keep rates on hold at three point six percent it meets today after last week's disappointingly high inflation figures. It's also dealing with rising unemployment and an acceleration in house prices. Westpac is tipping two more rate cuts, but says the first won't happen until May next year. The Southwest City man has survived a four day kidnapping ordeal, with friends claiming his kidnappers were paid one million dollars for his release. Security video shows twenty eight year old George I Yube being kidnapped by two men outside his home last Thursday. Mister E Yube, who is understood to have no criminal background, was dumped without injury at a service station after being held hostage for four days. Belisa examining the veracity of the plot and if it was financially motivated at a short mother has made a desperate plea after her one year old daughter disappeared in Adelaide's north. The father allegedly took off with the baby following an alleged assault at their Salisbury home on Sunday. Pilli say he's in contact and claims the child is safe, but Amy Cotzel remains incredibly fearful. She's urging the public to look out for a gray Holden Captiva. Pro Palestine activists and Greens MPs are staging a blockade and an Indo Pacific Defense expo and city this morning in New South Wales. Government is the principal sponsor of the event at Darling Harbor. Organizers call it the region's lead naval and maritime showcase, but protest to describe it as a festival of war criminals, saying Israeli weapon companies profiting from the war and Gaza are among the exhibitors and new delivery is set to arrive at Adelaide tomorrow and it's ten tons of precious cargo you wouldn't expect. The create is carrying thirty five year old Putchamas, a male elephant, joining Manato Safari Park to complete the party of five elephants. He's currently making a record baking trek across the Nulla bore, the longest ever by a full grown bull elephant. The Johnbo delivery is expected to arrive before lunchtime tomorrow. At a stressing incident in the Pacific Championships as push Rugby League's concussion policies back into the spotlight, serious questions are being asked as how medical staff cleared Elie Katoa to play after being floored by shoulder to the head in the warm up. After taking two more head knocks during the game, Katoa suffered a seizure on the sideline and had to be rushed to hospital for emergency surgery to drain fluid from his brain.
00:06:07
Speaker 4: The stark warning to play a health and safety heard throughout Rugby League.
00:06:12
Speaker 1: Sort of heartbreaking to here, and this is probably just the plea to look after our players.
00:06:17
Speaker 4: Tongue and player Ellie Katoa is recovering in hospital from emergency surgery to drain fluid on his brain after copying three separate head blows in the Pacific Championships against New Zealand. The NERL wants to know where its concussion protocols went so wrong.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: Prayers go out to Elliot and his family through this sort of tough period.
00:06:37
Speaker 4: Katoa wasn't given a head injury assessment after taking a brutal hit in the warm up in Auckland. Cleared to play, the twenty five year old took two more headheads during the game. His health quickly deteriorated, suffering seizures on the sidelines before being given an oxygen mask and taken to hospital, later found to have a brain bleed. Tong Has say they followed the rules.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: Who very experienced doctors.
00:07:01
Speaker 3: They've done their usual haie, he's passed all that and passed all that well.
00:07:05
Speaker 1: And my job is not to question doctors. I think that's probably what their role is to do is look after the health and safety of the player first.
00:07:14
Speaker 4: The NRL's protocols will be forensically examined, especially with increased research on the health dangers of concussion.
00:07:21
Speaker 1: Often if they don't get the right help, things get worse and worse, and it's like a doubt, a decreasing spiral.
00:07:29
Speaker 4: But questions do remain over the forwards playing future Jane's Manton seven
00:07:36
Speaker 2: Checking Chueresday's weather and our morning Shower two in Brisbane and thirty shower to becoming Wendy in Sydney, twenty five showers becoming Wendy in Canberra, thirteen showers for Melbourne, a very cold start to the day on Cup Day at top of sixteen degrees, rain easy and Hovide, and eighteen a shower to in Adelaide and eighteen shower to in a possible storm in per thirty and a shower too for dar one thirty four
