Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
- 0:04Speaker 1: the front's afternoon headlines. Anthony Albanese is inciting violence against
- 0:10Speaker 1: One Nation. That's Pauline Hanson's claim after winning another by-election.
- 0:15Speaker 1: One Nation claimed the West Australian state seat of secret
- 0:19Speaker 1: harbour from Labor in outer metropolitan Perth on the weekend,
- 0:23Speaker 1: with a huge 39% of primary votes compared to Labor's 24%
- 0:26Speaker 1: and the Liberals' 17%. Local gym owner Luke Herdegren won
- 0:32Speaker 1: the seat for One Nation after the incumbent MP, Labor's
- 0:35Speaker 1: Paul Papalia, retired because a close family member is suffering
- 0:39Speaker 1: a serious illness. The result, which comes after One Nation
- 0:43Speaker 1: scooped up the federal seat of Farrah from the Nationals
- 0:46Speaker 1: and took four lower house seats in the South Australian election,
- 0:50Speaker 1: has the major parties seriously worried about the looming Victorian
- 0:55Speaker 1: state election. Now Hanson's accusing Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese
- 1:00Speaker 1: of crossing a line by warning that One Nation is
- 1:03Speaker 1: dangerous and a threat to Australia.
- 1:05Speaker 2: This is a crucial time for our movement because across
- 1:11Speaker 2: the world hard right populists are on the march, peddling
- 1:14Speaker 2: politics that is dangerous, divisive and downright dishonest. Parties like
- 1:21Speaker 2: One Nation have no serious answers to problems which are there.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Their own divisions and disagreements are now showing through.
- 1:31Speaker 3: He's never called anyone else out as being dangerous, you know, and,
- 1:35Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people are in fear of
- 1:37Speaker 3: what they don't understand. I've been getting that many death
- 1:40Speaker 3: threats and that's happening. It never happened in a country
- 1:42Speaker 3: like this before. And the incitement that is happening is
- 1:46Speaker 3: through our educational system and a prime minister who should
- 1:49Speaker 3: know better than that. So I don't take any note
- 1:52Speaker 3: of what he says. I think he's a pathetic prime minister...
- 1:56Speaker 3: He's not the leader of this nation. You don't go
- 1:58Speaker 3: out saying those things. And they're all scared. He has
- 2:02Speaker 3: never been truthful and honest with the Australian people and
- 2:05Speaker 3: I want him gone.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Western Australia's Attorney-General should launch a coronial inquest into the
- 2:12Speaker 1: deaths of three Indigenous children in Port Hedland in 2022.
- 2:16Speaker 1: That's according to legal experts and political figures who say
- 2:19Speaker 1: new evidence highlighting the failures of WA's Office of Child
- 2:23Speaker 1: Protection meets the requirements for investigation. Jamelia Arnder and Kelvin
- 2:28Speaker 1: Hawke were killed by their mother, Margaret, following repeated warnings
- 2:32Speaker 1: they were at serious risk of harm. You can hear
- 2:35Speaker 1: the account of their devastated grandmother by scrolling back in
- 2:38Speaker 1: your feed to an episode called The Stolen Generation Paradox.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Veteran barrister Tom Percy Casey told The Australian there would
- 2:45Speaker 1: appear to be exceptional circumstances that would justify a new inquest.
- 2:50Speaker 1: WA's Child Protection Minister wants an investigation but hasn't yet
- 2:54Speaker 1: called for an inquest. Check out those stories live right
