00:04The price of groceries on the way up because of the global fuel crisis.
00:09Fears petrol rationing could be closer than we think.
00:13Hold your fire, Donald Trump backs away from his threat to obliterate Iran, but for how long?
00:20Chris Reason behind enemy lines in Lebanon, face to face with Hezbollah.
00:25Fixing Perth's hospital bed block, the first new health hub opens in Coburn.
00:31And Pat Voss forces the AFL to change the taunting rules.
00:35Ryan Daniels' exclusive chat with Justin Longmuir.
00:39Live from Perth, this is 7 News with Tim McMillan.
00:46Good evening, we're being told not to panic, but the government and retailers are planning and bracing for the impact
00:53of the fuel crisis.
00:54As the war in the Middle East drags on, there's now even talk of petrol rationing if supplies get too
01:00low.
01:00A measure not seen in Australia for almost 50 years.
01:05The pressure is starting to show.
01:08Pain not just at the bowser, but supermarket shelves.
01:12The price is definitely on the way up.
01:15Supply, not grosser's number one problem.
01:18For now, it's their growers and suppliers' rising fuel costs that are being passed down at the checkout.
01:25We'll see that right across fresh and dry groceries and down into the dairy and freezer as well in weeks
01:31to come.
01:32As governments prepare to tackle the crisis, nothing is off the table.
01:37New South Wales entertaining a concept Australia hasn't heard in almost 50 years.
01:44If demand management procedures are required, that might be rationing, but firmly of the belief that it should be a
01:52nationally consistent approach.
01:54Today, the WA government wouldn't be drawn.
01:58I don't think anyone can predict what's going to happen, particularly at a world stage, and then how that might
02:03impact us here.
02:04At the moment, all the advice that the state government is getting is that supplies are what we would expect
02:12them to be.
02:13They haven't been interrupted.
02:15The force ready if called upon.
02:17We are always prepared for the worst, but we are nowhere near that yet.
02:22Canberra confirming six WA petrol stations have run out of fuel.
02:26It's much worse on the east coast.
02:29New South Wales has 164 stations without diesel, 289 without one type of fuel.
02:36In Victoria, 162 stations are without one or more fuel grades.
02:44As petrol drive-offs surge nationwide...
02:47We've seen a 30% lift in the level of drive-offs over the last two weeks versus the rolling
02:54average.
02:54One solution being flagged, mandatory prepay before you fill up.
03:00Everyone should prepay.
03:01I've lived in America and it's not that hard.
03:07At the end of the day, prepay can be an answer or it can be a further problem.
03:13From a fuel theft perspective, we've always recommended prepaying of fuel.
03:19A move industry says will rob Australian petrol stations of around $3 billion in retail sales.
03:27When you put up a brick wall and actually get the customer to pull out and make a payment
03:32before they even enter the retail store, what happens is they just don't enter the retail store.
03:38Cab drivers are calling out for help too.
03:41Taxi fares are regulated and capped by government.
03:45Black and white cabs says it's absorbing almost all its rising fuel costs, up almost 60% since February.
03:54We've said to the governments around Australia we want a temporary fare increase.
03:58No response from the WA government to date.
04:00The average price of regular unleaded petrol is going up by another $0.11 a litre tomorrow.
04:07The highest prices are here at Caltex and Ampol, some outlets up to $2.70 a litre.
04:14The advice is fill up tonight to avoid being stung.
04:18But only as much as you need. Stockpiling doesn't help anyone.
04:23Cassidy Moscone, 7 News.
04:26A man's been charged over an Armidale fuel drive-off that put a petrol station worker in hospital.
04:32Brianna Infraera is at Royal Perth. Brianna, how are his injuries?
04:38Tim, he's in a stable condition and will spend his second night in the state trauma unit.
04:45Investigators managed to speak to him today over what happened yesterday at the Vibe petrol station.
04:51He suffered serious facial injuries after trying to stop a car driving off.
04:56Detectives say it was being driven by Glenn McCaw.
04:59The 39-year-old was arrested late last night.
05:02The alleged petrol thief on the run for almost 11 hours.
05:06He faced court today on a string of charges, including stealing, dangerous driving and failing to stop.
05:13The accused driver is currently behind bars and is set to face court again next month.
05:18Tim.
05:19Bri, thank you.
05:21Iran's stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz could be about to end.
05:25Just hours from Donald Trump's deadline to reopen the crucial waterway,
05:29the President backflip, suggesting a peace deal now could be possible instead.
05:33It's a dramatic shift that could signal a path out of the war.
05:39Buried, but breathing.
05:42Rescuers claw through the rubble in Tehran after a hit on an apartment.
05:50The man ordering the strikes casually strolls through Elvis Presley's home, Graceland.
05:57He was terrific.
05:59Claiming to have held secret talks with Iran.
06:01They called. I didn't call. They called.
06:03They want to make a deal.
06:05And we are very willing to make a deal.
06:08A change in tone days after his ultimatum,
06:10threatening to obliterate the country's power plants
06:13if the Strait of Hormuz wasn't reopened within 48 hours.
06:17We're doing a five-day period. We'll see how that goes.
06:20Otherwise, we just keep bombing our little hearts out.
06:23The problem is...
06:24Iran is still launching attacks and publicly denies the talks.
06:28This is the majority of the fake news.
06:31Accusing Donald Trump of lying to manipulate the markets.
06:35Already, stocks have gone up and oil prices have dropped.
06:39But adding to the confusion, Trump won't say who his negotiators,
06:43Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, are talking to.
06:47Because I don't want them to be killed.
06:49Then adding...
06:50They do have some leaders left.
06:52We blew up group number one, group number two,
06:56a lot of group number three.
06:58But we think we have people that are very representative of the country
07:01and will do a good job.
07:03Including a deal which could see the Strait of Hormuz jointly controlled.
07:07Even with hopes of peace, Iran's revolutionary guard keeps taunting Trump.
07:14Covering missiles with his photo before firing them into enemy territory.
07:20In the past few hours here in Tel Aviv,
07:23interceptors of the Iron Dome have once again failed to take out a ballistic missile.
07:27It's caused extensive damage to this residential area.
07:30You can see buildings have been ripped apart.
07:32Cars were set on fire.
07:33But incredibly, no one was badly hurt.
07:36Donald Trump's supposed talks to wind down this wall with Iran includes 15 points.
07:42And right now, Steve Witkoff is reportedly on his way to Pakistan
07:46in hopes of in-person talks with senior Iranian officials.
07:50Despite Tehran denying that any such talks exist,
07:53one of those officials has told CBS
07:55that those points from the US were received through a mediator
07:59and they are now being considered.
08:01Tim.
08:03Jackie Robson, thank you.
08:04Chief Reporter Chris Reason is in Lebanon.
08:07And Chris, you've been given extraordinary frontline access
08:09by the terror group Hezbollah.
08:13Good evening, Tim.
08:14There is a propaganda war underway here between Israel and Lebanon.
08:18And Hezbollah gave Seven News this battleground tour
08:22and their attempt to show the world the damage,
08:24the toll this war is inflicting.
08:26It is uncomfortable dealing directly with that terror group,
08:29but they've been part of the fabric of the political life here for decades now.
08:33They have schools and hospitals, politicians in parliament.
08:36They claim that their citizens are being unfairly targeted
08:40in a war that they refuse to give up on.
08:44Driving into the heartland of Hezbollah,
08:47posters of their fallen leaders decorate the landscape,
08:50heroes of an organisation listed as terrorists in 20 countries,
08:55including Australia.
08:56We've arrived in Baalbek in the Bacar Valley.
08:59We're deep here in the stronghold of Hezbollah territory.
09:02You can see posters of the leadership there.
09:04They've asked us to meet them at 11am.
09:06There are other international media here.
09:08This is literally going to be a guided tour by Hezbollah
09:13of the latest missile strike site.
09:16The Hezbollah official arrives as promised.
09:18No, no, no, no.
09:20We can't identify him,
09:22but moments later he's leading a press-packed convoy
09:25to a place they claim is the site of Israeli war crimes.
09:29A home hit by airstrikes.
09:31Five family members inside, vaporised.
09:35We didn't find any bodies.
09:36This man lost his sister.
09:39How much anger do you have now?
09:41Israel, our monster.
09:43On top of the real war here...
09:49What was that and where?
09:51There is the public relations war
09:52to convince the world who's worse.
09:57But already, more than 1,000 in Lebanon have been killed
10:01and many more are homeless.
10:03There are now well over a million people displaced in Lebanon
10:06and this is what they're running from.
10:09The possibility of devastating aerial missile attacks.
10:13The family that lived here didn't get the chance to flee.
10:17Eight lost.
10:18They call them martyrs.
10:19And trapped nearby, an Australian in panic.
10:23Lead the way.
10:23It's very terrifying at the moment.
10:26It is, it is.
10:27Sydney panel-beater Mohamed Betarek,
10:29desperate to get to his home and kids.
10:32My kids, they're terrified, you know.
10:34And I'm terrified myself, to be honest.
10:36As I was sleeping last night,
10:39I heard planes in the sky.
10:41Next minute, my whole house was shaking.
10:44His new wife, Mays, is carrying a baby,
10:47but not a visa.
10:49They need urgent government help.
10:51She's two months pregnant.
10:53Please, please, please get me out of here.
10:56Worried they're bringing a new life
10:57into a place that could easily take it.
11:00In Baalbek, Lebanon, Chris Reason, 7 News.
11:04Cheaper EVs, chocolate and wine
11:06will come as very welcome news for many Australians,
11:09but not everybody's impressed
11:10with a new trade deal struck today with Europe.
11:13The historic pact has how farmers up in arms,
11:16claiming they've been given the short end of the stick.
11:19A $10 billion deal sealed with a kiss or two.
11:27A free trade deal opening access
11:29to the EU's 450 million consumers,
11:33allowing Australia to export more beef, lamb, sugar,
11:37grain, dairy, seafood and wine,
11:40while Australians will be able to buy
11:41cheaper European electric vehicles,
11:44champagne, wine and spirits,
11:46biscuits, chocolates and pasta.
11:48A deal worth $10 billion a year to Australia.
11:51I think you call that hitting it for six.
11:55We are just very disappointed as a sector.
11:57Even though beef quotas to Europe
11:59jump from 4,000 to 35,000 tonnes a year
12:02and sheep meat from 6,000 to 31,000 tonnes.
12:05Some of our competitors like Canada and New Zealand
12:07are way ahead of that,
12:09so, you know, it really is a low number for us.
12:11To business, a significant deal.
12:13We shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
12:15And on naming rights, Australian producers
12:18can still use Kransky and Parmesan,
12:21Prosecco and Ouzo only domestically,
12:23and Feta, Romano and Gruyere
12:25only on existing products.
12:28Though his signature isn't on this deal,
12:30Donald Trump's fingerprints are all over it,
12:33though probably not in a way he imagines.
12:36He's punishing tariffs encouraging Europe
12:38to deal with Australia instead.
12:40Trust matters more than transactions.
12:43It is possible to stick to the rules.
12:46And on defence cooperation, another message.
12:49Getting China right is a strategic imperative.
12:54And now...
12:54We have each other's back.
12:57While fronting up side by side.
13:00Mark Raleigh, 7 News.
13:03A Mailands couple building their forever home
13:06says the system is stacked against them
13:08in favour of builders.
13:09They say they're now in financial and emotional limbo
13:13and have been let down by the industry watchdog.
13:15Geoff Parry has this exclusive report.
13:19Rob Martin has some important decisions to make.
13:22Whatever he decides,
13:23it's likely to cost him tens of thousands of dollars
13:26and won't get his house built any quicker.
13:29The laws have got holes in them
13:30and we're actually in that hole.
13:32Last month we reported how Rob and his wife Pina
13:35signed up with Sovereign Building Company.
13:37Its director is David Savietto.
13:40Completion is long overdue
13:41and the house is riddled with defects.
13:44What do you make of your dream now?
13:46It's turned into a nightmare.
13:49Sovereign was ordered by the watchdog
13:51building an energy to fix more than 50 defects.
13:54The report released yesterday
13:55confirmed they had ignored 40 of them.
13:58So all the major stuff is just not attended to?
14:00No, it's not.
14:01No, because it's too hard or too expensive
14:04or just beyond this builder's capabilities, it seems.
14:07Rob Martin says the system is weighted in favour of builders
14:11and it's hard to disagree.
14:12Niche living got off the hook
14:14and it cost taxpayers $40 million.
14:17Yesterday, the boss of Inspired Homes,
14:20which collapsed last year,
14:22was fined $33,000.
14:24Vasco Spazewski still has his building licence.
14:27The law needs to change
14:28and there needs to be examples made of these builders
14:31for non-compliance.
14:34This afternoon,
14:35Sovereign Building Company lawyers
14:36wrote to Building and Energy
14:37requesting an extension of time until May 25th,
14:41its best estimate for practical completion.
14:43It intends to complete the remediation
14:46of all outstanding items,
14:47including the face brickwork.
14:50Geoff Parry, 7 News.
14:53Ex-tropical cyclone Narelle isn't done
14:56unleashing her fury just yet.
14:58The weather system is expected
15:00to re-intensify later this week
15:02as it barrels down the WA coast.
15:04As Brandon DeMura reports,
15:06Perth remains in the firing line.
15:09Cyclone Narelle has already shown her strength.
15:13Big holes through my roof.
15:14Carving a path of destruction
15:16across Queensland and the Northern Territory.
15:20But her fury is far from over.
15:23The system could cross the WA coast later this week.
15:27By Friday, the system is expected
15:29to take a more southwards approach.
15:32That's when Narelle is expected
15:33to ramp back up to a Category 4.
15:36Forecasters predict it will hit south of Exmouth,
15:39with Perth still in the firing line.
15:42But when it will make landfall is not yet known.
15:45If it shifts southwards later,
15:49it could move further south
15:50and cross the coast further down
15:53towards areas like Kalbarri, Geraldton.
15:56It's unusual for a cyclone to reach that far south.
16:00But not impossible.
16:02Kalbarri copped it when Saroja hit in 2021.
16:06Almost 50 years ago,
16:08Cyclone Albee wreaked havoc in WA's southwest.
16:12It killed five people in its wake.
16:14This weather system is rare.
16:17Cyclone Narelle will be the first
16:19in more than 20 years
16:21to impact three states and territories
16:23in one swoop.
16:25This weekend, Perth is in for a drenching.
16:28Up to 45 millimetres expected to fall
16:31on Saturday alone.
16:33Brandon Demura, 7 News.
16:36And Gerry DeMassi joins us now.
16:37Gerry, Perth could see some strong winds
16:39along with that rain.
16:40Yeah, Tim, there are a few possible outcomes here,
16:43but the most extreme set of figures
16:44has Perth in the path
16:46of some very strong wind gusts.
16:48On Saturday,
16:49we could see up to 90 kilometre an hour gusts.
16:51That is enough to do some serious damage.
16:54For context,
16:55today's strongest gust was 30 k's an hour,
16:57so three times the strength of that.
16:59Rain-wise,
17:00Perth could see more than 100 mils
17:02across the end of the week.
17:04Friday is when the deluge starts,
17:05up to 35 millimetres.
17:07But strangely enough,
17:08it's actually a separate system
17:09bringing that rain, not Narelle.
17:11Narelle's rain will hit Saturday most likely,
17:14up to 45 mils possible then,
17:16and up to 25 on Sunday.
17:18At the moment,
17:19it just really is too soon
17:20to tell how severely Perth will be impacted,
17:23or even when and where this system will hit.
17:26But we're going to try and break down
17:28some scenarios for you,
17:29so stick around.
17:30I'll be back with the forecast
17:31to have a crack at it, Tim.
17:33Good luck with that.
17:34Thank you, Gerry.
17:35Still to come,
17:35not in our backyard.
17:36Victoria Park votes
17:38on the Burswood racetrack.
17:40Will it have any impact
17:41on the final decision?
17:43The new plan
17:44to fix Perth's hospital bed block.
17:46How a critical mistake
17:48killed at least 34 people
17:50in a military plane disaster.
17:52And later,
17:53why brushing up on your AI skills
17:55could earn you thousands of dollars
17:56more every year.
18:02The first of three health hubs
18:04for older patients
18:05has opened in Perth South.
18:07It means no more driving around
18:09to different appointments
18:10with all specialists
18:11in one location.
18:12The hope is
18:13they'll help ease the strain
18:14on our struggling hospital system.
18:17Lucy Murray explains.
18:19It's a one-stop shop.
18:21One appointment,
18:22seven specialists.
18:24From physiotherapy
18:25to medication
18:26and memory support.
18:27Even someone
18:28to help you apply
18:29for a home care package.
18:31You don't have to drive
18:32anywhere between visits
18:33to different entities.
18:35And so it's making it
18:36a lot easier.
18:37I think it's really great.
18:39I've only been here
18:41just a couple of times.
18:43But so far,
18:44it's worked pretty easy for me.
18:46All it takes
18:47is one doctor's referral.
18:49You'll get called up
18:51into the hub.
18:52You'll be assessed
18:53and then the team
18:53will take you from there.
18:55This is the brand new
18:56Older Adult Health Hub
18:57in Coburn.
18:58It's the first of three
18:59to be delivered
19:00across the metro area
19:01at a cost of $24 million.
19:05They're an important shift
19:06in terms of making sure
19:08that older West Australians
19:09can get access
19:10to the care they need
19:11in the community
19:12and close to home.
19:14The program is designed
19:15to keep older people
19:16out of hospital,
19:18essential with an already
19:19strained health system
19:21and an ageing population.
19:23In just 10 years,
19:25one in five West Australians
19:27will be aged over 65.
19:29There are currently
19:31345 older people
19:33stuck in hospital.
19:35They're medically cleared
19:36for discharge
19:37but waiting for aged care beds.
19:40Hospitals are important
19:41but they're not always
19:42the best place
19:42for an older person.
19:44Staying healthy at home
19:46is good for everyone.
19:48That's excellent.
19:49Lucy Murray, 7 News.
19:53An air traffic controller
19:54has taken responsibility
19:55for a tarmac tragedy
19:57in New York.
19:58Two pilots were killed
20:00and dozens of people
20:01rushed to hospital
20:01when a passenger jet
20:03collided with a fire truck.
20:06Disaster at LaGuardia.
20:08An Air Canada Express jet
20:10travelling at almost
20:11170 kilometres an hour
20:13slams into a fire truck
20:15on landing.
20:16The collision, catastrophic.
20:18Aviation disaster,
20:19the likes of which
20:20we have not seen here
20:21in over three decades.
20:22The cockpit obliterated.
20:24The pilot and co-pilot
20:25killed.
20:26These were two young men
20:28at the start of their careers
20:29so it's an absolute tragedy.
20:3272 passengers
20:33and four crew
20:34were on the plane.
20:3543 people,
20:36including two in the truck,
20:37were taken to hospital.
20:39Most have now been released.
20:41We came in pretty hard.
20:42We immediately hit something
20:43and it was just chaos from there.
20:45It was just a very loud boom
20:46and people hit their heads,
20:49people were bleeding.
20:50A flight attendant
20:52was thrown from the plane,
20:54found almost 100 metres away,
20:56alive,
20:57still strapped into her seat.
21:01It's a total miracle,
21:02her daughter says.
21:03The fire truck
21:04was given permission
21:05to cross the runway
21:06to respond
21:07to another emergency.
21:09Truck one company,
21:11cross for Delta.
21:12Seconds before the fatal crash,
21:14this desperate plea
21:15from the tower.
21:16Stop, stop, stop, stop.
21:18Truck one, stop, stop.
21:20Stop, stop, stop, stop.
21:23The controller devastated.
21:25We were dealing
21:25with an emergency earlier.
21:28I messed up.
21:28No, man,
21:29you did the best you could.
21:30With wreckage everywhere,
21:32that runway
21:32is expected to remain shut
21:34until the weekend.
21:36In the United States,
21:37Rob Scott,
21:387 News.
21:39The town of Victoria Park
21:41has given the thumbs down
21:42to the state government's plans
21:44for a motorsports racetrack
21:46on part of the Burrswood Peninsula,
21:47known as Perth Park.
21:49It's refused
21:50a development application
21:51based on the lack
21:52of community consultation
21:54and a lack
21:55of supporting documentation.
21:56The council has been
21:58a long-time opponent
21:59of the racetrack.
22:00Its opposition
22:01is unlikely
22:02to have any effect
22:03when the project
22:04is considered
22:04by the WA Planning Council.
22:06Work on the redevelopment
22:08has already begun.
22:10A Colombian military plane
22:12packed with soldiers
22:13has crashed
22:14near the Ecuador border.
22:15The Hercules
22:16was carrying ammunition
22:17that detonated on impact.
22:19More than 30 people
22:20were killed
22:21and dozens more injured
22:22when it went down
22:23shortly after take-off.
22:25The cause of the crash
22:26is still under investigation.

22:31Still ahead tonight,
22:32the secret message
22:33hidden inside

22:35on tour across Australia.
22:38A $10 million
22:39money trial
22:40linked to a disgraced
22:41former AFL umpire.
22:43What he's accused of.
22:44And the medieval
22:45masterpiece
22:46set to go under the hammer
22:48for a King's ransom.
22:49That's next.
22:54Former AFL umpire
22:56Troy Pennell's
22:56legal woes
22:57are worsening
22:58with his estranged wife
22:59now declaring bankruptcy.
23:01She's been left in limbo
23:03by his alleged
23:04$10 million fraud.
23:05And now,
23:06he's gone missing.
23:09219 games
23:10on the field,
23:12a no-show in court.
23:13Former AFL umpire
23:14Troy Pennell
23:15didn't attend
23:16his hearing,
23:17accused of
23:17siphoning millions
23:19from Searoad
23:20shipping
23:20his former employer.
23:22It's alleged
23:22Pennell created
23:23false invoices
23:24for repairs
23:25on shipping containers
23:26for over a decade.
23:28None were ever serviced.
23:29The court heard
23:30all invoices
23:31to Searoad
23:32were based
23:32on a deception.
23:33A lawyer
23:34for the logistics
23:34company revealed
23:35his estranged wife
23:37is now bankrupt
23:38and the money
23:39they want back
23:39from the disgraced
23:40umpire
23:41has climbed higher
23:42up from a reported
23:43$8.7 million
23:45to more than $10 million.
23:46Until today,
23:47there were four defendants
23:48in this civil case.
23:50Troy Pennell himself,
23:51the company he used
23:52to send the false invoices,
23:54two cafes in his name
23:55and his wife,
23:56Lanise.
23:57But she will now
23:58be struck from the case.
23:59The extra cash
24:00allegedly siphoned
24:01was found
24:02in newly surfaced
24:03bank statements.
24:04Lawyers tried
24:05to serve him
24:05those new legal documents
24:07but haven't received
24:08a reply.
24:09Pennell spent time
24:10in jail
24:10for contempt of court.
24:11Now he can't be found.
24:13The money is missing
24:14and the case continues.

24:23as our city's
24:24business leaders
24:24prepare for a night
24:25in the cold
24:26for a good cause.
24:27Vinnie's has seen
24:28a surge in requests
24:29for costs of living assistance,
24:32especially for petrol costs.
24:34At Perth Zoo,
24:35it's not just the Gibbons
24:37using their voice.
24:40WA's corporate leaders
24:42will descend here
24:43on June 18
24:44for the Vinnie's
24:45CEO sleep-out,
24:47raising awareness
24:48and much-needed funds
24:50for homeless West Aussies.
24:52These increases now
24:53on food and fuel
24:55particularly
24:55are really taking people
24:57right to the edge.
24:5840 CEOs
24:59already registered
25:00to sleep on cardboard.
25:02It raises awareness
25:03but it also raises
25:05vital funds.
25:06We've got the highest
25:07youth present
25:08in Australia
25:10which is disgusting
25:11considering
25:11we're the most
25:13economically successful state.
25:15WA has an estimated
25:17830 homeless children
25:19and young people
25:20and 5,070 homeless adults.
25:23The life expectancy
25:25of a homeless person
25:26is just 46 years of age.
25:28In February,
25:30Vinnie's WA
25:30supported
25:313,300 WA families
25:34with emergency assistance
25:35but limited resources
25:37meant
25:371,600 WA families
25:39couldn't be helped.
25:41Requests for help
25:42with food
25:42up 30%
25:44in two months.
25:45A 30% spike too
25:47for requests
25:48for help
25:48paying for fuel.
25:52It's hoped
25:52the new venue
25:53will encourage
25:54even more business leaders
25:55to swing by.
25:57The CEOs
25:57can also expect
25:58a very early start
25:59the next morning.
26:00The zoo animals
26:01wake up about 4am
26:02and start making

26:05We also have
26:06early evening roars
26:07from our line
26:08and other sounds
26:08so it's going to be
26:09a great night
26:10a long night

27:19batons crafted

27:24It is the first time
27:25that all 74 nations

28:38When I knew
28:38that I was getting
28:39to hang out with y'all
28:40I said,
28:40come on,
28:40let's do it.
28:41Get your day
28:42started right.
28:43Start with
28:44Sunrise on Seven.
28:49Electric vehicle sales
28:51have suddenly surged
28:52with demand
28:53fuelled by record
28:54high petrol prices,
28:55inflation and
28:56interest rates.
28:57Motorists are
28:58scrambling to cut
28:59costs,
28:59sending new
29:00and second-hand
29:01EV sales
29:02through the roof.
29:03As petrol prices
29:05soar,
29:05so does the demand
29:06for electric cars.
29:08Last couple of days
29:09have noticed that EVs
29:10and hybrids have
29:10just gone through
29:11the roof and
29:11we've been inundated
29:12with inquiries
29:13on these cars.
29:13This dealership alone
29:14has sold 20 EVs
29:16in two days,
29:17ordering another 80
29:18to keep up.
29:19I've never seen
29:20anything like it.
29:21The EV market
29:21is booming
29:22since the war began.
29:24With petrol
29:24at $2.50 a litre,
29:25Australians are
29:26looking for ways
29:27to beat the cost
29:27of living and an EV
29:28is the best way
29:29to save $3,000
29:30per year.
29:31Pickles Auctions
29:32also celebrating
29:33record second-hand
29:34EV sales this month.
29:36We've seen a 30%
29:37uplift in used EV
29:38searches as more
29:39Australians look to
29:40reduce ongoing
29:41running costs.
29:42Well, now I'm thinking
29:42about it, the way
29:44it is going up.
29:44I hope this war
29:45ends soon or, you
29:47know, we find some
29:47solution.
29:48Otherwise, there's
29:49no other choice.
29:49We have to go for
29:50the EV.
29:51While the running
29:52costs are significantly
29:53less than petrol cars,
29:54there are some
29:55downsides.
29:56They take up to
29:5710 hours to recharge
29:58and then motorists
30:00also have range
30:01anxiety when driving
30:02long distances.
30:04Even just overnight,
30:04we've received five
30:05inquiries on the
30:06one EV car that
30:07we've got and we've
30:08never seen anything
30:08like that before.

30:32shrinking the size of

30:34not reducing the

30:36One of Australia's
30:38most unique homes is
30:39up for sale but
30:40buyer beware, it's

30:43Castle Rumble is
30:44the medieval
30:45masterpiece of a
30:46local builder from
30:47Logan in Brisbane
30:48South.
30:49Until now, Brian
30:50Rumble resisted
30:51lucrative offers to
30:52sell but he's now
30:53in his mid-80s and
30:54believes the time
30:55has come.
30:56The 10 hectare
30:57site could be
30:58developed into 100
30:59homes so Brian
31:00could be in line for
31:01what amounts to a
31:03king's ransom.

31:22immune deficiency get the

31:24If you don't know your

32:09on Saturday, a 48
32:10point victory over the
32:12Demons.
32:12Justin Longmuir joins me
32:14now.
32:14Justin, welcome.
32:15The boys were strong
32:16out of the gate and
32:17refused to let Melbourne
32:18back in.
32:19Yeah, g'day Ryan.
32:20Yeah, yeah, they were.
32:21Thought we started the
32:22game with great intent,
32:23great method.
32:24Yeah, and although
32:26Melbourne had a couple
32:27of moments in the
32:27second quarter and
32:28probably the last
32:29quarter where they got
32:29on top, thought we held
32:30up pretty well in those
32:31moments and yeah, it was
32:33an improvement on the
32:34week before so yeah, I'm
32:36happy.
32:37I thought Shea Bolton
32:38was outstanding.
32:39Is that his best game for
32:40the club do you think?
32:41Yeah, I don't know about
32:42best game for the club but
32:43yeah, he was terrific.
32:45Played more midfield time
32:46with Hayden Young being
32:47out of the team and yeah,
32:49it was a real weapon for
32:50us around clearance.
32:51You know, his possessions
32:53turned into scores or
32:55great attacking thrusts
32:56for us so yeah, he had a
32:57ripper.
32:58Pat Voss has been getting
33:00headlines fined for
33:01taunting.
33:02Have you spoken to Pat
33:03about it all?
33:03Yeah, I've spoken to
33:04Paddy multiple times.
33:05He got on the front foot
33:06Sunday morning and gave
33:07me a call.
33:08He was really remorseful
33:09about his actions and
33:10yeah, he didn't like the
33:12fact that it took away
33:13from the team's win so
33:14I'm fully supportive of
33:16Paddy.
33:18He got it wrong on the
33:20weekend in his own words
33:22and yeah, we understand
33:23that he'll learn from
33:24that and make sure he
33:26doesn't cross the line
33:28anymore.
33:29Has he spoken to
33:30teammates about it and
33:31do you know if he's
33:31reached out to Harris and
33:33Petty directly?
33:34Yeah, Ryan, he's had
33:35conversations with his
33:36teammates.
33:36He's had conversations
33:37with some of the leaders
33:39in the same sort of
33:40context as he had with
33:41me.
33:42Yeah, and he reached out
33:43to Harris and Petty I
33:45think Sunday morning and
33:46yeah, Harrison accepted
33:49his apology.
33:50Oh, that's great news.
33:51And lastly on that one,
33:52how do you get him to
33:52play right on the line
33:54with that energy and
33:55passion and not go over
33:56the line?
33:57Oh, yeah, it's education.
34:00Sometimes we forget
34:01Paddy's only played I
34:02think 25 odd games.
34:03So he's still a young
34:04man and he's still
34:06learning the game and
34:07learning to deal with
34:08that enthusiasm that he
34:10brings.
34:11But the other side of it
34:13is I feel like he gets
34:14it right 99% of the
34:16time.
34:17A lot of the stuff he
34:18gets right, it doesn't
34:19get noticed as much as
34:20the stuff he gets wrong.
34:21So, yeah, there's a bit
34:23of fine tuning but I'm
34:25pretty happy with him
34:26most of the time.
34:27Yeah, we love watching
34:28him.
34:28Luke Jackson ran laps
34:29today.
34:30Is he okay for Saturday?
34:31Yeah, he is.
34:32He got a corky during the
34:34game against Melbourne so
34:35it was more of a
34:35precautionary today.
34:37Okay, good.
34:37And how about Brennan
34:38Cox, Jake Romero and
34:39Brandon Walker?
34:40Are they available?
34:41Oh, they'll be all
34:41tests.
34:42Yes, yeah, they're a
34:45bit individual but some
34:46of them have to get
34:47through training on
34:48Thursday, see how they
34:49pull up.
34:50Yeah, so we'll have a
34:51chat about that Thursday
34:52afternoon.
34:53How long till we see
34:54Hayden Young back out
34:54there?
34:55Yeah, Young is
34:56progressing really well.
34:57I think the timeline we
34:58put on is two to three
34:59weeks so, yeah, hopefully
35:01it's two.
35:02Richmond Optus Stadium on
35:04Saturday.
35:04Justin, good luck.
35:06Thanks, mate.
35:08Milan Murdoch has been a
35:09revelation for the
35:10Eagles in his two games
35:11but they'll have to do
35:12without him for the next
35:13few weeks.
35:13The mature age sensation
35:15has a hamstring injury.
35:17Here's Barra.
35:18It's been a lot
35:19happening in Milan
35:20Murdoch's life.
35:21The high point, his AFL
35:23prayers were answered
35:24plus booting the sealer
35:26against North Melbourne.
35:27The snap around the body.
35:32Milan, the magnificent.
35:34But after a stunning
35:35start to his AFL career,
35:37now a small setback.
35:39Scans revealing a small
35:41hamstring strain.
35:42Veteran star Elliot Yeo
35:44looks to have shrugged
35:45off his injury blues.
35:46Yeo.
35:48Oh no!
35:50Miracles can come true!
35:52His kick from outside
35:53the boundary, one of the
35:55goals of the year.
35:56And just flushed it and
35:57just thought, oh, okay,
35:59all right, this is going to
36:00look pretty good.
36:00And then as soon as it
36:01started sailing through,
36:02I was like, okay, I've
36:04nailed this.
36:04You couldn't get any
36:05better.
36:05It didn't look better
36:06than good, mate.
36:07Then did the old Russell
36:08Crowe gladiator, are you
36:10not entertained?
36:11And West Coast are
36:12bringing back one of
36:13their best-selling
36:14jumpers.
36:15Kicking it, he's fourth.
36:17And that's a beauty.
36:18Made famous during the
36:20early 2000s and worn
36:22only once in a derby.
36:24And it was a beauty.
36:25Look at this, Dennis.
36:27This is not good.
36:28Club legend Andrew
36:29Embley was involved in
36:30that brawl, but he still
36:32loves the jumper.
36:33I must admit, you know,
36:34I do see a few
36:35similarities between the
36:37team back in 2001 and
36:392002 that wore that
36:40jumper.
36:41And this group right
36:42now, you know, there's a
36:44really good young group
36:45coming through like we
36:46did, you know, back in
36:472001 and 2002.
36:48Next Gen star, Jobe
36:50Shanahan, proud to wear
36:51the new strip.
36:52He's this week's AFL
36:54Rising Star nominee.
36:56Adrian Barrett, 7 News.
36:59Patrick Dangerfield will
37:00miss Thursday night's
37:01clash with the Crows due
37:02to a persistent calf
37:03injury.
37:04Fellow veteran Tex Walker
37:05will be rested by Adelaide
37:07too.
37:08While Brisbane are set to
37:09welcome back Zach Bailey
37:10from suspension for their
37:11showdown with St Kilda,
37:12the reigning premiers are
37:13winless from two starts.
37:16Baz has survived, but
37:18Baz Ball appears dead
37:19after England's inquiry into
37:21their ashes debacle.
37:22Brendan McCullum, Ben
37:23Stokes and managing
37:24director Rob Key all
37:25dodged the axe, but the
37:27message is clear.
37:28The often reckless
37:28playing style needs to
37:30change.
37:31They just have to be
37:32relentless in how they
37:33do it.
37:34Ruthless, smart, those
37:36things.
37:36At times we've thrown
37:37too many opportunities
37:38away.
37:39They just have to keep
37:40evolving.
37:42The inquiry found
37:43there's no drinking
37:44culture despite all of
37:45those off-field
37:46incidents.
37:47In a social media post
37:48full of F-bombs, a
37:50fired up Stokes
37:51declared he has a lot
37:52more to give.
37:53Australian sprint
37:54superstars Gout Gout
37:55and Lachlan Kennedy
37:56will do battle once
37:58again at the Morrie
37:59Plant Meet in Melbourne
38:00on Saturday night.
38:01After upstaging Gout in
38:02last year's 200 metres
38:04final, Kennedy says he
38:05can go even faster.
38:07I mean it was a
38:08cracking race last year.
38:09I had so much fun.
38:10I'm planning on having a
38:11similar result.
38:12Hopefully we can run an
38:14even faster time.
38:15The Morrie Plant Meet is
38:17live and free on 7 and
38:197 plus.
38:20And there were tributes
38:21for WA football great
38:22Bill Dempsey today
38:23considered one of the
38:25Waffle's greatest ever
38:26players.
38:26He passed away aged 83
38:28and was remembered as a
38:29trailblazer and a West
38:31Perth legend.
38:32And so we gather to
38:33remember a proud man born
38:36in the Northern
38:37Territory, grounded in
38:38culture and community
38:40and shaped by two things,
38:42family and football.
38:46Former AFL chair Richard
38:47Goida paid his respects at
38:49Pinaroo Cemetery today.
38:51Dempsey was an Australian
38:52Football Hall of Fame
38:53inductee and member of the
38:54AFL's Indigenous team of
38:56the century.
38:56He played 343 games for
38:58West Perth over 16 years
39:00from 1960 to 1976.
39:03And he was a beautiful
39:04man, Uncle Billy.
39:05He could tell unbelievable
39:06stories, Tim.
39:07Yeah, he'll be missed.
39:08Thanks, Rhino.
39:10Australians could boost
39:11their pay by $11,000 a
39:13year if they learn how to
39:14use artificial intelligence.
39:15AI is reshaping our
39:17workforce and millions of
39:19workers are worried future
39:20tech will make them
39:21redundant.
39:23University students are
39:24embracing AI.
39:26I feel like it's a good
39:27tool to help people.
39:28Speeds up some processes,
39:30makes it more efficient.
39:31Workers think so too.
39:3384% are using AI tools
39:35every day, but according to
39:37RMIT Online and Deloitte,
39:39only 7% are considered
39:41proficient.
39:42If we can bridge the gap,
39:43it can create as much as
39:45$18.9 billion of benefit
39:48to the economy.
39:49And for employees, that
39:50could mean a pay rise.
39:51Moving from being a
39:52beginner in AI to being
39:54proficient or an expert,
39:55it's about $11,000 per year.
39:58AI is going to change
39:59everything.
40:00So it's either going to be
40:01the case that your job will
40:03be changed by AI or you
40:05will change your job with
40:06AI.
40:06And it's the second one
40:07there which will give you
40:08more agency.
40:09Almost a third of workers are
40:10worried they'll lose their
40:12job.
40:12The AI impact is already
40:14being felt, particularly in
40:16fields like admin and web
40:17development.
40:18It really is the time to
40:19upskill yourself on what AI
40:21can do, how you can build
40:23agents to do repetitive
40:24tasks and that sort of
40:25thing to protect yourself
40:26from AI.
40:27It sounds strange, but it
40:29really is the thing to be
40:29looking at.
40:30Are you worried heading into
40:31the workforce?
40:33Not really, to be honest.
40:34If I do want to go into
40:35something with the arts, I
40:36don't really think that AI
40:38can replace it.
40:39Georgia Holland, 7 News.
40:41Gerry DeBassie's got your
40:43weather next and Gerry, that
40:43tropical cyclone is heading
40:45our way.
40:46Tim, a very unusual system.
40:48It's come all the way from
40:48Queensland and there's a
40:49chance it could make land
40:51for near Perth.
40:52A particularly interesting
40:53seven-day forecast is right
40:55after this.
40:57On 7 News at 6, stealing
41:00your car, opening your
41:02garage door, the locksmith
41:04tools bought online, giving
41:06criminals keyless entry.
41:07It's becoming a global
41:09trend.
41:10How to outsmart thieves and
41:12protect your property.
41:147 News, live at 6.
41:18Now, Fuel Watch.
41:20Perth's petrol prices brought
41:21to you by Fuel Watch and
41:237 News.
41:44Hello, the market dined out
41:46early on the US President's
41:47taco moment.
41:48Trump always chickens out,
41:49that is, bouncing back from
41:51yesterday's 10-month low.
41:52The momentum didn't last
41:54though, and the market lost
41:55most of its gains by the
41:56close as the oil price crept
41:58back up.
41:59Struggling department store
42:00Meyer has posted a $40
42:01million profit for the half
42:03year.
42:03That's a jump of 33%, but it's
42:05still fallen short of market
42:07expectations.
42:08Not a massive surprise given
42:09fuel prices, inflation and
42:11higher interest rates.
42:12ANZ's weekly measure of consumer
42:14confidence has hit its lowest
42:16points since records began back
42:18in 1973.
42:20The ASX 200 finished marginally
42:22higher, miners lifted, energy
42:23stocks mostly went the other
42:25way.
42:25KMD Brands, owner of Rip Curl and
42:27Kathmandu, jumped on the back of a
42:29takeover bid.
42:30The Aussie dollar currently buying
42:3169 US cents.
42:34Thanks, Tim.
42:35We're the time now, and if you're
42:36here in Perth or anywhere along the
42:38West Coast, in fact, severe
42:39conditions could be heading your
42:41way.
42:42A tropical cyclone is about to
42:43reform, and where it could hit is
42:45anyone's guess.
42:47Regardless, it is a good time to
42:48prepare your home for the wet
42:49season ahead.
42:50No rain today, though.
42:5126 degrees was our top in Perth
42:53this afternoon, and these stable
42:55conditions will linger for the next
42:56two days under a ridge.
42:58Up north, though, what once was
43:00tropical cyclone Norel is about to
43:02become tropical cyclone Norel again.
43:05It started over in Queensland as a
43:08tropical cyclone.
43:09It then moved over the Northern
43:11Territory, also as a cyclone, and
43:13weakened to a tropical low, which is
43:15how it stayed as it crossed the WA
43:16border yesterday.
43:18Right now, it's out over the ocean,
43:20turning back into a tropical cyclone,
43:22and it could reach a severe Category 4 by
43:24Thursday.
43:25The Bureau thinks it is going to make
43:27landfall.
43:27Where?
43:28Well, it could be anywhere between
43:30Exmouth and Perth.
43:31It's quite a range.
43:32When?
43:33Probably sometime this weekend.
43:35How strong?
43:36It's too soon to tell.
43:37There is a warning current, though, for
43:38stretches of the Kimberley and Pilbara
43:40coast, including Port Hedland and
43:41Karratha.
43:42Not Broome, though.
43:44Wind gusts of up to 95 kilometres an
43:46hour possible there with heavy rain.
43:48For Perth, in the short term, staying
43:50dry and mostly sunny, 32 degrees.
43:53Thursday is much the same.
43:55Friday, a lot of rain possible, up to
43:5735 mils.
43:58But that won't be from Norel.
44:00That's a separate system.
44:01The Bureau thinks Norel is most likely to
44:03be felt hardest on Saturday.
44:05And this is the worst case scenario, 45
44:07mils of rain, gusts up to 90 k's an
44:10hour, which can certainly do some damage.
44:12Then Sunday, worst case, 25 mils.
44:15Showers could continue into Monday and
44:17Tuesday and cooler temps across that
44:19period in the low 20s.
44:21Big week ahead.
44:22Perhaps I can bring you some good news
44:24now, though, with tonight's winning
44:26Auslotto numbers.
44:27They are 25, 9, 27, 6, 22, 34, 24 and the
44:35SUPS 1, 14 and 40.
44:38Those numbers again, 25, 9, 27, 6, 22, 34, 24 and
44:44the SUPS 1, 14 and 40.
44:47Here's Tim.
44:48Thank you, Gerry.
44:49That is Seven News for this Tuesday.

44:53evening.
