Why did Australia’s domestic‑violence death toll surge this week?
A listener production. Hi, Sasha BarberGap with you. Welcome to the briefing. Australia's domestic violence death toll surged by four this week after three women and a child lost their lives in alleged murders over the weekend. So are we completely failing in the fight to curb DV in our community? These numbers are horrific. They're
shocking. And they make me angry that we're not making progress, at least uh when we look at
these numbers. A chat with the New South Wales Commissioner for Women's Safety is coming up in the second half of this episode. First it's time for the headlines with Chris Spew on Thursday, the twenty fourth of September.
Morning, Sash. Iran's president has stood in front of the world's leaders in New York and accused the US and Israel of terrorism against his people. Mazoud Pazeshkin has addressed the UN General Assembly where he held up a photo of the late Supreme Leader Ali Hameneh, who was killed in the opening days of the war, and others showing the more than 150 schoolchildren who were also killed in those first days. His tone was defiant. He said Iran had only been defending itself, that they are not terrorists and that they did not and will not bend the knee to the US or Israel, but he said Iran is still open to diplomacy, just not under threat.
And it was just under twenty-four hours ago that US President Donald Trump stood at the exact same podium and delivered his own address in which he mulled annihilating the country.
Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic? And do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again. Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations? But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election.
Now, since that speech we know Trump has hosted a reception for world leaders, which Anthony Albanese did attend. The PM even snapping a selfie with the president and posting it to socials with the caption always good to catch up with POTUS. Now the post has racked up thousands of comments. Uh it's gone viral. Most of those comments call on Albo to read the room. Many accuse him of being on the wrong side of history. Others have questioned whether Trump knew who he was and that maybe he had him confused with a fan.
Yeah. And look, Trump is just one of the leaders Albo's crossed paths with in recent days. There's Japan's Sinai Takaichi, um, famously the Prime Minister that you know, that was that big storm around the melon comments, France's Emmanuel Macron, Canada's Mark Carney, and the UK's brand new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who Albo says he's now a fan of. I mean, not that he wouldn't be a fan of a Labour leader, but he says he's, you know, now a fan of. Um also this This morning Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky, where they signed a ten year security deal in which Australia put up another sixty million dollars to support the country in its fight against Russia.
I'm very thankful to Anthony personally and thank you for such great support from the very beginning of this war. Australian people always been on the side of Ukraine. Today we signed into uh I think that The strongest document within our country.
This agreement, this bilateral security agreement, is a proud day for Australians.
So there's Zelensky essentially saying he's very thankful sorry for that bad audio, but um he's saying he's very thankful to Anthony Albanese personally and Australia's always been on the side of Ukraine. Um now most of that money will go towards military equipment, um the rest will go towards energy support and humanitarian aid. It takes Australia's total help since Russia invaded to around one point nine billion dollars.
Back home now to South Australia, where the parents of missing four-year-old Gus Lamont have made an emotional plea for any information about their little boy. It's the first time his parents, Joshua and Jessica, have spoken on camera.
What are the Thursday headlines – Iran‑US tensions, Ukraine aid and the Gus Lamont plea?
Their message was put out by South Australia police yesterday, ahead of Sunday's one-year anniversary of Gus's disappearance.
