This is a Squiz Podcast. Wear

0:03

your shortcut to being informed. Good

0:07

morning, I'm Alice Stempster. And I'm Siobhan

0:09

Moore in Macfarlane. It's Monday the 29th

0:11

of April. In

0:14

your Squiz today, tackling Australian

0:16

violence, Albanese heads

0:18

to Alice, The King

0:20

is Back in Action and Forget

0:23

About Fuji. This is

0:25

your Squiz today. Siobhan,

0:30

we spoke on Friday about the

0:33

national violence against women crisis and

0:35

the conversation about that has continued

0:37

over the weekend. Thousands

0:39

of people have rallied in cities

0:41

across Oz to demand more action

0:43

from the government. Yeah, and the

0:45

other thing that kept the issue

0:47

in focus was that while all

0:49

of these protests were happening, especially

0:51

yesterday, Alice, a Perth man was

0:53

charged with murdering 30-year-old mother of

0:55

four, Erica Hay, after her body

0:57

was found on Friday. Police

1:00

allege that 35-year-old Luke Sekua set

1:02

their home alight and fled with

1:04

her three-year-old child, who has

1:07

since been recovered and treated for

1:09

smoke inhalation. And it

1:11

makes Hay the 27th Australian woman

1:13

to be murdered by a man

1:15

this year. Yeah, and that's prompted

1:17

PM Anthony Albanese to call a

1:19

national cabinet meeting on Wednesday to

1:22

discuss violence against women with state

1:24

and territory leaders. He attended

1:26

the No More rally in Canberra yesterday

1:28

and, after he was heckled by some

1:30

attendees, admitted that governments

1:33

of all levels must do

1:35

better, including my own. Yes,

1:37

and Nationals leader David Littleproud

1:39

has also called gender-based violence a

1:41

scourge on society. But

1:43

while all sides of politics agree that more

1:45

does need to be done, Federal

1:48

Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth

1:50

reiterated yesterday the government's position

1:53

that it won't establish a

1:55

royal commission into domestic violence.

1:58

Instead, she says that they... will get on

2:00

with the job of implementing the

2:03

government's national plan to end domestic

2:05

violence against women." And as we

2:07

mentioned on Friday, they'll review how

2:09

that's working at the Emergency Roundtable

2:11

on the 7th of May. So

2:13

we're likely to hear a lot more about this

2:15

topic over the next couple of weeks. Siobhan

2:19

PM Anthony Albanese has another tricky

2:21

issue on his plate this week.

2:24

Reports say that he'll be in Alice Springs

2:26

today for the first time in more than

2:28

a year. Yeah, there's not much detail about

2:30

what Albanese's visit will look like just yet.

2:33

But it comes about a month

2:35

after the NT Chief Minister, Eva

2:37

Lawler, imposed a curfew on Alice

2:39

Springs' youth after a recent

2:41

surge in violent crime. And we spoke about

2:43

that quite a lot on the podcast at

2:45

the time. You might remember

2:48

the violence kicked off after a stolen

2:50

car carrying several people crashed and

2:53

left a teenage boy dead. It

2:55

then escalated to a group of 70 people

2:57

attacking the Todd Tavern in Alice's CBD

3:00

on the 27th of March. Yeah,

3:03

that was when Lawler intervened by

3:05

declaring a state of emergency and

3:07

introducing the curfew, which has since

3:09

expired. And just on that

3:11

car crash that you mentioned, Siobhan, an

3:13

18-year-old man became the fifth person charged

3:15

over it last week. So there's still

3:18

a way to go on this yet. Hamas

3:22

has released a new video of

3:24

two hostages who were taken during

3:26

the 7th of October attacks and

3:28

Siobhan has prompted their families to

3:30

push the Israeli government to lock

3:32

in a new hostage release deal.

3:34

The men's names are Omri Miran

3:36

and Keith Segal, who's an Israeli

3:38

US citizen. And although the

3:40

proof of life video doesn't have a date on

3:42

it, Miran said he'd been And

3:46

Segal spoke about being unable to

3:49

celebrate Passover, which ends tomorrow. So

3:51

that's given their families hope that

3:53

it was filmed recently. Israeli

3:56

PM Benjamin Netanyahu's office hasn't responded

3:58

to the video. The I bought

4:01

some and family say that they

4:03

will continue to fight for their

4:05

return. And the other thing is

4:07

that Hamas also released a separate

4:09

hostage video last wake of and

4:12

Israeli Us hostage named has Gullberg

4:14

Poland. And as all of that

4:16

happened Egyptian, maybe Isis has landed

4:18

in Israel to continue ceasefire negotiations

4:20

this lake. A

5:53

We have spoken a bit recently

5:55

about terrorists behaving badly, and now

5:57

it's the Japanese who have been.

6:00

By tourists. Shenanigans at one of

6:02

the most iconic sites? Yes! So

6:04

residents living near Mount Fuji as

6:06

decided to erect a big black

6:08

barrier above a convenience store and

6:10

that is to block a popular

6:12

view of the land marks. And

6:15

as sick as locals say, they've

6:17

had enough. Of mostly foreign tourists who

6:19

come and drop. Their rubbish park

being very Japanese but not for long

6:36

as he say a huge two point

6:38

five made up by twenty made a

6:40

mess net will be put up to

6:42

block out that view which like who

6:44

say is regrettable because of some tourists

6:46
