1
Good evening.
2
The Sydney Swans have suspended five of their biggest stars for
3
the rest of the year as the woman at the centre of sexual assault allegations submitted a formal statement to police.
4
With the Swans' famed blood culture now at breaking point, the President admitted they've torpedoed their season.
5
Owen Leonard with today's developments.
6
It's the scandal that shattered the Sydney Swans' season.
7
A woman claims she was sexually assaulted, players have been suspended and club chiefs left embarrassed.
8
To effectively torpedo our season by making a decision such as it just tells you how seriously we're taking it.
9
Isaac Heaney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordan and Riley Bice all banned for the rest of the season.
10
The Swans, careful to point out the punishment is for breaking the unwritten team code of conduct completely separate to the police investigation.
11
It was staying out late, it was drinking, it was continuing to continue their night, It was bringing women back to the hotel.
12
It was a long way short of what we expect of our players.
13
The woman at the centre of the sexual assault allegation has now submitted a formal statement to police, a development first reported by The Age and verified by Nine News.
14
So now if police were to look at pressing charges, then first interview any accused player.
15
We're deeply concerned about their welfare and the wellbeing of those women.
16
And, yeah, we offer as much support as we can they're the ones who are impacted severely at the moment.
17
But it's not clear what support is on offer.
18
The club is refraining from reaching out to the women personally.
19
It's a police matter so we're not going to interfere with that by reaching out to them.
20
Meanwhile, sponsors are responding.
21
Telstra is standing down Heaney
22
and Warner from their ambassador roles until at least the conclusion
23
of the police investigation saying we are deeply concerned by what's been reported
24
and the club's long admired bloods culture is also on the brink.
25
These football clubs had a wonderful, strong, rich culture, but we've got a long way back here to rebuild the trust of our fans,
26
our commercial partners, our sponsors and the people that love the Sydney Swans.
27
Clearly this is a very sad day for us and for everybody involved.
28
I know that the five players involved, they're extremely remorseful for their actions and having breached the club's standards.
29
The Swans wouldn't be drawn on whether that drug tested the players themselves.
30
That's potentially part of the police matter, which we aren't going near.
31
And in the lead up to that fateful night, Heaney seemingly never happier playing some change room cricket.
32
Not aware of the collapse to come.
33
OK, Owen Leonard joins us now with breaking news.
34
Owen, the sanctioned players, they have just released a statement.
35
Well, Alicia, we haven't seen them, we haven't heard from them, but as you said, they've released a joint statement which the club has put out just now, a joint written statement, so I'll read that to you.
36
They've said, We are deeply sorry to everyone involved.
37
We know that our behaviour has fallen well short of the standards expected of us and the values of our club.
38
We know that we have let down our partners and families, members, supporters, teammates, the AFLW team, corporate partners and everyone at the club and the wider community.
39
We accept the club's sanction and apologise for the impact this has had on those involved.
40
Our focus will now be on rebuilding trust with the club and the community.
41
And you'd think, Alicia, that will take some doing from here.
42
OK, Owen Leonard, thank you.
43
We'll take you live now to AFL headquarters where we find Tony Jones tonight.
44
Tony, you've also got some breaking news, and this is on some more sanctions that have just been handed down.
45
That's right, Alicia.
46
Good evening.
47
In the past 15 minutes or so, the AFL has announced that the five players stood down by the Swans today will not be eligible for all Australian selection.
48
Now, the final selection meeting will take place here on Monday morning, and then the squad of 46-47 will be announced.
49
But those five players will not be part of that squad, regardless of how well they've performed on the field.
50
And when you look at the season of Chad Warner and Isaac Heaney, at the very least, you'd think they would have been in the squad.
51
The team itself unveiled on Tuesday night.
52
So this is another indication of how serious the AFL as an entity is taking this matter.
53
Indeed, all clubs are watching here.
54
And most clubs have had to deal at some stage or another with player behaviour, not necessarily of this magnitude.
55
And those clubs who do address the matter do it with a fair degree of caution.
56
Certainly Craig McRae and Sam Mitchell today.
57
We want our players to act like good men in society
58
and develop our players to be good husbands in the future and good fathers.
59
That's something that I speak openly about all the time.
60
We had a bit of a chat with our players about remembering the expectations
61
that we have on ourselves and making sure we continue to live up to them.
62
Now, of course, one of the real considerations for the Sydney Swans is its AFLW team,
63
which is one of the strongest teams in the competition and has a huge supporter base.
64
You would expect this has not gone down well at all with the AFLW players, not just at the Sydney Swans, but right across the AFL.
65
And that was addressed today by Daisy Pearce, one of the real pioneers of the women's game, who's now in charge of the West Coast Eagles.
66
Be a good human.
67
a good human and then for those that are in high profile positions understand that
68
you being a good human matters
69
but it also has a massive impact on what other people think is acceptable
70
so scandals can either make
71
or break a football club in many instances the club is galvanized
72
but you get the sense the Sydney Swans tonight are at breaking point they'll get a fair
73
idea of just how they're being received by their fans
74
when they run out against North Melbourne on Sunday at the SCG
75
and for what it's worth the Sydney Swan second on the ladder North Melbourne 13th on the ladder
76
and yet it's North Melbourne who have now been installed as red-hot favourites such as the the climate
77
that Sydney might experience over the next six weeks or so
78
because in terms of premiership contenders they've gone from top dogs
79
to underdogs Alicia as you say interesting to see the fan
80
reaction all right Tony we'll come back to you for the rest of the day's support a bit later on.
81
Mushroom killer Erin Patterson claims the jury at her trial could have been contaminated.
82
Her lawyers have raised seven issues in a bid to have her convictions thrown out.
83
Penelope Leish was in court.
84
Pastor Ian Wilkinson was the only guest who survived Erin Patterson's deadly mushroom lunch.
85
Nearly a year after he saw her jailed for life, he returned to a courtroom, the killer watching from prison.
86
Her lawyers arguing the jury was potentially contaminated as they deliberated.
87
At that point in the trial, jurors couldn't go home.
88
But the lead detective and members of the prosecution team were staying at the same hotel.
89
Barrister Richard Edney describing the situation as catastrophic.
90
It is an inexplicable and still unexplained failure in one of the most high profile criminal trials
91
that the state has ever had.
92
The DPP told the court there's no evidence any jurors communicated with police or lawyers during their stay.
93
Ultimately, the jurors were convinced Patterson murdered her in-laws Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson and tried to kill Ian.
94
But the defence is challenging how they reached that conclusion, claiming phone tower evidence and death cat mushroom sightings should not have been part of the trial,
95
claiming the prosecution painted a misleading picture.
96
Patterson's team also says the trial judge made a mistake
97
when he ruled prosecutors could not show photos of foraged mushrooms found on an SD card in Patterson's home.
98
They say that decision forced the killer to give evidence.
99
The prosecution has defended the way the case was handled.
100
Tomorrow it will launch a separate appeal against Patterson's sentence.
101
Prosecutors say she should never be released from custody.
102
Penelope Leersh, 9 News.
103
Former Essendon and Geelong footballer John Barnes has been named as a star recruit for One Nation
104
but the Moonee Valley councillor was nowhere to be seen today along with nine other candidates the party revealed.
105
Edward Godfrey reports.
106
A former premiership player turned local councillor turned aspiring state MP.
107
He's very much a value aligned One Nation conservative and we're glad to have him on board.
108
Ex-Essendon Angellong Ruckman, John Barnes, unveiled as One Nation's candidate to run in the Labor stronghold seat of Essendon.
109
It's never been about profile for us, and it's not about profile.
110
But the Moonee Valley councillor is well known, from his footy days and for speaking about his health battles,
111
including epilepsy and memory loss caused by repeated head knocks.
112
My independence is gone, showering, bathing, cooking, driving.
113
John himself, have a chat to the guy, he's as sharp as a whip.
114
We did try to speak with Mr Barnes who then asked us to ask the party's head office
115
which then told us he's not available.
116
He's one of ten lower house candidates One Nation unveiled today, none of which were available for interview.
117
I know he's got a lot on his plate at the moment.
118
Labor does too.
119
A new resolve poll shows support for the governing party has slipped further behind the coalition.
120
Newly installed leader Ben Carroll trails Jess Wilson as preferred Premier.
121
What's important is our very strong focus on the issues that Victorians have.
122
One of those, the state economy.
123
It gives me no joy to say it, but Victoria is in a sickly state.
124
Former Federal Liberal Treasurer Peter Costello blaming the state's fortunes on bad governance.
125
The problem can't be solved in one term.
126
It will take several.
127
Edward Godfrey, Nine News.
128
OK, let's bring in our state political reporter, Heidi Murphy, for you now.
129
Heidi, you've got some news just in on the big-build Royal Commission.
130
Alicia, I can tell you ministers have been called to a special Cabinet meeting nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
131
Now, they were told at Monday's regular get-together to be on standby for a sudden extra meeting.
132
The call went out for that this afternoon.
133
I understand this meeting tomorrow is to agree on the terms of reference for the Royal Commission.
134
May possibly be even the identity of the Commissioner put in charge.
135
Alicia, it means we should know by this time tomorrow just how serious Labor is about this inquiry.
136
We'll see.
137
And we've got your one-on-one with Jess Wilson coming up, so looking forward to that.
138
Thanks, Heidi.
139
Thanks.
140
Well, the family of a Bayswater mother murdered in front of her children
141
while trying to protect her neighbour's son from his father has labelled the justice system a disgrace.
142
Her killer has been jailed for 21 years but could be free in under 13.
143
Brett McLeod reports.
144
A family filled with grief...
145
We will never get to see Vicky again, never hear her voice.
146
I don't care if I lost my daughter.
147
My life's gone.
148
..and rage.
149
The legal system protects murderers and offenders more than it protects victims and their families.
150
Loved ones of Vicky Apostolopoulos outside the Supreme Court, moments after her killer, Milorad Zarich, was sentenced to 21 years jail,
151
but he could walk free in less than 13.
152
We have sat through the court process, focused on his rights, his future, his feelings, his circumstances and his choices.
153
What a disgrace of a justice system.
154
Zarich admitted stabbing the Bayswater mother to death in front of her two boys in November 2024
155
while she was trying to protect Zarich's son from him.
156
He blamed his actions on a drug-induced psychosis having ingested ketamine, cannabis and alcohol.
157
Justice Jacinta Forbes citing his remorse, previous good character and early guilty plea in her sentencing.
158
The 48-year-old eligible for parole in 2039 with Ms Apostolopoulos' family will never be free of the pain.
159
He has hope for freedom.
160
What about my nephews?
161
My nephews don't have a mother.
162
I don't have a sister.
163
My mother doesn't have a daughter.
164
Her son Riley, who witnessed his mother being killed, will always carry the memory of that day too.
165
There's nothing I'd do without having mum on my mind.
166
Vicky's life mattered and it always will.
167
Brett McLeod, Nine News.
168
A world first vaccination program to protect Phillip Island's vulnerable little penguin population from bird flu has begun.
169
We'll go live now to Isabel Quinlan who's in St Kilda tonight.
170
Izzy, how many birds have been vaccinated so far?
171
Alicia, we've been told only a small portion of the population
172
who have returned to their burrows early ahead of breeding season have had their first dose of the vaccine.
173
But the team at Phillip Island Nature Parks are expected to ramp up the program in the coming weeks
174
and months here at St Kilda and at Phillip Island as more penguins return to the beach.
175
When they do, the process is thorough and overseen by a vet.
176
They're weighed, scanned for a microchip before they receive that injection.
177
They'll get two doses.
178
The second is to be done in about three to four weeks' time in hopes that they develop antibodies.
179
And many are hoping
180
that it's not too late after the virus was detected in a little penguin just days ago
181
that sadly died on the island.
182
There's nothing we can really do to stop the spread.
183
But at this stage, I can assure people that we are doing the best we can to mitigate the risks.
184
That's why this vaccination program is so crucial Alicia because cases continue to surge here in Victoria.
185
Yes let's hope it works.
186
All right Izzy thank you.
187
A 13 year old girl
188
and her parents have fled their burning Yarraville home set alight
189
just weeks after bikies launched a multi-million dollar extortion attempt against them.
190
As Selena Zhang tells us police say the family has no links to organised crime.
191
Two family cars doused with petrol, then one blinding explosion.
192
The flames quickly spread from the driveway to the house.
193
A 13-year-old girl and her parents escaping through sheer luck.
194
It's a low act and in our mind it crossed the line.
195
Evidence of last November's attack, clear to see but not enough to lay charges.
196
Two men have been arrested and released.
197
Police say they're not bikies
198
but may have been hired to carry out a threat made in October where three banditos members punched the father
199
and demanded $20 million over a business dispute.
200
Two of the three bikies are now behind bars.
201
They're not cooperating with police, hence the reason why we're appealing for information.
202
We're appealing to the conscience of those offenders involved, knowing that a 13-year-old girl was inside that residential address at the time of this offence.
203
While the family's house is now being renovated, they're unlikely to ever return.
204
What's still unclear is how they became involved in a dispute with bikies,
205
but police say their business is legitimate and the victims have no previous links to organised crime.
206
I've got kids myself and I feel for them.
207
You know, it was...
208
I can only imagine the sheer terror and trauma that they went through.
209
It's frightening, especially when you're asleep and you're waking up to your whole house on fire.
210
Selena Zhang, Nine News.
211
Moscow has threatened the UK with retaliation over reports Ukraine used British-made drones in recent strikes against Russia.
212
UK's Prime Minister Andy Burnham has responded, doubling down on his commitment to Kyiv.
213
Thai police have released new evidence linking Australian man Simon Carman to the murder of a teenage girl.
214
An autopsy report revealing the cause of the 17-year-old's death was suffocation, with DNA matching the 45-year-old's found on her body.
215
The young girl's body was found inside a suitcase.
216
Keeping a roof over their heads is forcing Australian workers into relentless overtime and crippling commutes.
217
The nation's peak union has now launched a campaign demanding longer leases and urgent investment in government housing.
218
Here's Charles Croucher.
219
House prices may be falling but rent is not.
220
I was working 18 hour back-to-back shifts and picking up every hour of overtime possible just to keep my head above water.
221
As the housing minister toured new youth housing sites, Australia's unions launched a new push to protect renters.
222
The ACTU want two-year leases as part of a new agreement on renters' rights.
223
The union also calling for one in ten homes built to be public housing, especially in cities to avoid longer commutes.
224
There's the extra time and cost involved in having to commute to get to work.
225
The ACTU should stick to its knitting.
226
They have an important job to do and that is to make sure
227
that workers in Australia are well looked after
228
and well represented figures show the wages of those workers rose 0.8 percent in the June quarter, 3.2 percent for the year.
229
That's below the current rate of inflation, meaning real wages are falling over the year.
230
While recent tax cuts improve the household budget, the average Australian is able to purchase less with each pay packet compared to a year ago.
231
We acknowledge that Australians are doing it tough and we are looking at every single lever we can pull.
232
It's just not fair and I think people will wake up and think, why does our government hate me?
233
We have no shortage of challenges, but we've got a lot going for us as well, and we need to remember that too.
234
A half-full mentality.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
