Speaker 2 (00:16):
Under second Morning to an Australia Murray Olds, could I.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Murray Kait Tim? Yeah, have hes to you? Good morning?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes you too. Russia telling Australia to bud out of
Indonesian affairs.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, this is a pretty blunt warning from Jakarta over
the weekend. This is carried in the Australian newspaper this morning.
Look the context of this the recent election of President
Proboo in Indonesia. He is known as ex military man
and known in previous in a previous life to have
a strong military ties to Moscow. And anyway, he's the
(00:55):
new president of Indonesia. And a story dropped from Jane's magazine.
Jane is an internationally respected military magazine writes about matters military,
about hardware, about the background to military maneuvering, and so on. Basically,
we had said that Listen at Moscow is planning to
build a big air base in West Papua in Indonesian territory,
(01:18):
and if that was to go ahead, it would be
only thirteen hundred kilometers from the Australian coastline, and the
prospect of having Russian long range bombers dropping bombs in
Australia all of a sudden become a real sort of
factor in this election campaign we're having over here for anyway,
the government said, no, there's nothing in this story. Practic
(01:39):
phone calls. We're told, no, nothing to see here. It
move on. The opposition here is saying it's outrageaus. We
demanded briefing, and over the weekend the Russian ambassador to
Indonesia said that Australian interests can't extend the territories of
neighboring countries, neighboring foreign states that pursue active and independent policies,
no other words, bugger off Australia. So we have to
(02:01):
wait and see where this goes. Is also talk of
Moscow actually building a military satellite launch pad in some
part of the Indonesian archipelago. So there's a lot of
I mean, Indonesia very close to Australia, of course, a
very close neighbor and a very important trading partner as well,
So lots of moving parts made.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, but ironic, isn't it. The Russians are sure Ukraine
loved it's independent view on things as well, but so
much for that gas lighting us again, Peter d Dunton.
He's running out of time to catch elbow well he is.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
The election over here is Saturday week and you know,
you have to say it's been just a shambles of
a campaign. They've had three years to get ready of
the opposition. They knew this was coming and it's been
a catastrophe. It really has been dreadful. I mean, Peter
Dutton's made one mistake after another. He's been in parliament
since two thousand and one. He's got to be one
(02:54):
of the, if not the longest serving parliamentarians in the
Federal Parliament and he's been hopeless with the most anonymous,
saccharin anodyne you know, Shadow ministry you've ever seen, I mean,
no one's but their heads up. It's all about Dutton
and so that his eternal credit is batting on. He's
a tough he's a pretty tough cookie, but you have
(03:17):
to say he's running out a time. All the pools,
there were three poles last week, all pointing to a
hung parliament, labor in charge with a Green, a very
solid Green support base there in the Senate Labor for
its part. That Tim was thinking, well, you know what,
the polls are so bad for the opposition would win
(03:37):
majority government, so it's going to be frantic the last
twelve days of this campaign. It's been a pretty horrible campaign.
Anthony ilmenneasy, someone supercharged him. I mean he was shotted
after the Voice referendum was voted down. He would have
been shrined indigenous rights in the Australian Constitution. He backed
the House on that and ed lost and he was
(04:00):
a very much diminished figure. He's come back from that
and he just looks like a real Polish campaigner compared
to Peter Dutton. So you know, for me, I just
can't wait. I love elections. I love that Saturday night
sitting in front of the telly with a glass of
wine watching the dice fall. Can't wait.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I wonder if Peter Dutton's polishing a CV for lights
life outside politics, because you wonder how you continue if
he's going to lose this one.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, correct, that's dead right mate.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, Look, there's been there's some revenge over a drug theft.
Might be behind the murder of a Sydney mother.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
This is terrible. I mean, I'm sure you've heard this
story from Thursday, late Thursday last week. A woman at home,
forty five years old in Southwest Sydney. She's got two
children with her, a fifteen year old boy and an
eight year old boy. Eight About half past ten, five
men masked forced their way into the home, beat the
tripe out of the mother, hit the eight year old
(04:56):
boy in the head with the baseball batters. They leave,
and the poor little fifteen year old is witnessing all
of this. They throw mom in the back of a
stolen car. And how later that car is found on
fire about ten minutes away from the family home. In
the back is that murdered mother. And the theory now
is that this is revenge. It's payback for a massive
(05:19):
drug theft. And it's a message that's been sent by
one Asian crime gang in Southwest Sydney to anyone else
who's out there looking to perhaps you know, in friends
on its territory. Hands off, because we are in charge here.
It's a hell of a message to send to other
gangs who may be you know, manufacturing drugs in Southwest Sydney.
(05:40):
I mean, it's a big part of Sydney now. You know,
five million people here, so just what surprise, surprise that
there are bad people out there. But it's a hell
of a thing to have happened. I mean, the police
just couldn't believe there and nor could anyone in Sydney.
Is a mother at home bashed with an edge of
a life and then murdered and sent on fire an
hour later. So police are throwing everything at this. They
do want to find the bad guys involved. The father
(06:03):
has returned, he was interstate on business and he's at
the hospital. Last time I heard with his young eight
year old son. He's in an induced coma after surgery.
And as I say, police are doing all they can
to find the people involved.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
How horrendous, What a dreadful story to wrap up on
Easter Monday. How you are you're getting going to be
having chocolate for breakfast for an Easter there married.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
No, No, it's weird. I mean maybe I'm the only
one in the world. If I had one block of chocolate,
one tiny little square of Cadbury's dairy milk, a tiny
single square, I'm fine. If I had two, I'd have
a headache for a week. So well, I'm not sure
what that's about I do not like chocolate, so I'll
have a glass of wine instead later on today.
Speaker 2 (06:44):

your time.
