Good evening, I'm Graham Kennedy
Ken Sutcliffe and I bring you the news coast to coast
Ken, is there any news fit to see
On this Monday evening
The 13th of February, 1989
Graham, tonight the government moves to close a huge tax loophole
That saved Carlton Brewery millions of dollars
A tribute to Australia's latest cricketing hero, Merth Hughes
And we go and meet those dancing feet
On the eve of the Australian launch of 42nd Street
What was the best part of your holiday, Kenny?
Noosa was really pleasant
There was good weather and a lot of people up there
Ray Martin was there
And so was Peter Harvey and Ron Casey
It was like being at work
It sort of was, yeah, it was like going back to work
But I must admit the best part of the holiday didn't cost much
And that was, of all places, the back of Dubbo
The back of Dubbo?
For a holiday? Yeah
Oh, that's good because I've got a week-ender at Mount Druitt
I know... No!
And it was really nice because we jumped in a canoe
My boy and myself and my brother and a couple of his lads
So it was that kind of trip, fathers and sons
Yeah, it was really enjoyable
Loved it, lovely. What did you do?
Oh, well, I got on another container ship
So that I could spend Christmas at sea
So because I was at sea, I actually saw two Christmas dinners
And that was because of the international dateline
No, because I threw up
The container was called the Asian Jade
Very nice. Australian officers and Chinese crew
Which, of course, means a Chinese chef
For breakfast, bacon and eggs, sweet and sour
Delicious. No, true.
There were rumours that you weren't well
Absolute rubbish. I had a very thorough
physical check-up at St Vincent's private, which isn't very
physical. It's like full-flow
Well, all sorts of people go through there
You were telling me about them
I'm not...
I'm mad living now
No, I wasn't going to tell you this
I'd heard St Vincent's private
And it is. It's lovely. You know, the food is good and the staff are very pleasant
This is St Vincent's private
Sydney. But it's not very
private because on the floor
I was...I think it was
floor seven, the famous
Dr Chiang has his
heart
He has a special deal
for Hong Kong patients where they
fly over business class
and they
have accommodation, all meals
three night clubs in two and a half hours
and a triple bypass for $4,000
So
the only place where you could have a cigarette was the little
waiting room and I would
totter down there in the pyjamas
in the little short pyjamas. Very attractive
And I'd go in and of course
every Hong Kong patient
has 14
relatives in Australia
so they would say, you know, there's a lot of
hauogram going on
So I discovered that wasn't...you know, St Vincent's
private for me. Wasn't terribly private
But they did everything. They looked into things
They looked down things. They looked up things
They even found things I didn't
know I had
I filled the little bottle. I turned my head and
coughed. I did all that
and my doctor said that I'm alright
The body of an 18 year old
That's very good news
Yes it is. A sick
wasted, exhausted
18 year old

Graham, Cairn, allegations today of
mafia links at a drugs case in the New South
Wales town of Queenvon. The claims came
as a former Federal police officer gave
against 11 men charged over a major cannabis hall.
Brian Lockwood now runs a service station, but in 1980 he was a detective sergeant with the Federal Police
in charge of grooming the so-called super grass Giuseppe Verducci.
According to Lockwood, Verducci regarded him as a man he could trust.
He said he had information concerning Italian secret societies,
their operation and structure in Canberra, and their involvement in drugs.
He said he was a member of the Italian club and some of the members belonged to Lonerata,
also known as the Mafia.
Although rejecting the Mafia link, Lockwood says Verducci told him in 1981
he'd been approached by Luigi Pocci and Tony Barbaro to grow marijuana near Bugandor,
with the approval of the then Inspector Colin Winchester.
Verducci was permitted to participate, but under strict guidelines.

The Commonwealth Bank has joined Australia's other leading banks on the home loan interest spiral,
lifting its mortgage rate to 15.5%.
The National Australia Bank is expected to follow suit later in the week.
In Adelaide tonight, Democrat Senator Janine Haynes has given permission
to contest a lower House Federal seat.
The move comes despite fears that the move could backfire.
Senator Haynes wanted to contest the Adelaide seat of Kingston at the next Federal election,
believing that having a member in the House of Reps
would boost the Democrats' profile in Canberra.
But the plan had its opponents, including party founder Don Chip,
who claimed the electorate isn't yet ready for a third party.
In Brisbane, a parliamentary inquiry has started into the conduct of two Queensland judges.
Justice Angelo Vasta stood aside four months ago
after he was linked in the Fitzgerald inquiry to suspended police commissioner Sir Terence Lewis.
Justice Vasta claims he's the victim of a conspiracy.
And the sports world is mourning the death of Sydney rugby league star Jeff Selby.
The St George back rower died after a car he was travelling in with two teammates,

Overseas demonstrations in Pakistan against a controversial new book
has ended with five people dead and dozens injured.
The Muslim crowd was enraged by comments about the Prophet Muhammad
contained in the Satanic verses, the latest novel by Indian-born Salam Rushdie.
Police opened fire when the mob tried to storm an American building.
I doubt whether anybody in the crowd who marched on the book could possibly have read it.
While Rushdie says the killings upset him, he says he will not withdraw the book.
In neighbouring Afghanistan, Soviet troops have formally withdrawn from their last military base,
the garrison at Kabul airport.
The handover to Afghan forces was low-key, with officials trying to prevent filming.
Only a few Soviet soldiers remain in the country, they're expected to leave tomorrow.
That's it for now, I'll be back later in the show.
The balls of the... I beg your pardon...
The hauls of the brewing giant...
Well it looked like a bee.
I haven't done this for 12 weeks.
They call him that a lot too.
Don't they?
You... yes.
You bee.
The hauls of the brewing giant, elders, are about to echo to the sound of slamming loopholes
if Finance Minister Peter Walsh has his way.
Senator Walsh has a plan to put the lid back on, rent a beer bottle.
The fact that Liberal Party Federal President John Elliott heads the company that owns Carlton and United Breweries
guaranteed that there'd be fierce controversy.
By avoiding sales tax on beer bottles, by classing them as rented,
CUB can offer stubbies that are sent less than the competition.
Yesterday Finance Minister Peter Walsh attacked Mr Elliott
for what he called Smart Alec schemes to avoid taxation.
But today, Pat Stone, Managing Director of CUB, fiercely defended the company's action.
Absolutely legal.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that we have probably inadvertently been collecting too much tax
on behalf of the government over the last six months.
Associated Brewers Chairman Bill Widerberg, an executive of CUB's main rival, Bond Brewing,
said the legal issue was clouded.
The legal advice to date has been that it would be somewhat risky.
But now CUB had taken the plunge, the sales tax office would have to make a ruling.
And the quicker the better because I can assure you that within a week
the whole of the liquor industry will follow suit.
Treasurer Paul Keating has asked the tax office to examine whether the loophole uncovered by CUB is legal.
Taxation Commissioner Trevor Boucher will make a statement by early next week.
Prime Minister Bob Hawke, returning from overseas this morning,
resisted the temptation to criticise Mr Elliott.
Rents the rents he stubbies, eh? I saw that, yeah.
CUB's hand was strengthened when it was revealed that the Price's surveillance authority
had been given full details of the scheme and had raised no objection.
We're the Price people, not the law people, not the tax people.
But ominous news for Mr Elliott and for beer drinkers came from the Chairman of Parliament's Legal and Constitutional Committee,
Victorian Labor MP Alan Griffiths.
If it's found to be legal, then I will move that the legislation be changed
to ensure that such an artificial and obviously artificial scheme is not allowed to continue.

An unprecedented amount of food poisoning in England has forced Mrs Thatcher to call for an urgent inquiry.
Fifty people die of Listeria each year.
Listeria, sounds like a plant, doesn't it?
While you're away, dear, don't forget to water the Listeria.
Not funny if you've just gone off with it.
Up to two million...
With food poisoning.
Up to two million Britons suffer from food poisoning each year.
Well, God, don't send any more over here, it's all I can say.
Week by week in Britain, the food news becomes more frightening.
It started before Christmas with hundreds going under with food poisoning.
Last weekend at the Plush Savoy Hotel, food brought in by an outside caterer
poisoned 150 of the 200 guests at a wedding, including the bride and the groom.
This past weekend comes news there's now an outbreak of Listeriosis.
It's been discovered mainly in soft cheeses.
Last year, 50 people died in England from the disease.
Pregnant women are particularly susceptible in respect of their foetus to the effects of this bacteria.
A secret report now seems to back the SACT Health Minister.
Two million cases of food poisoning a year.
To blame modern day lifestyles, say investigators.
A decade of revolutionary change in the way we produce, distribute and prepare food
has caused bacteriological problems that can no longer be ignored.
The recently announced government inquiry has as its ultimate aim
the full restoration of public confidence in everyday foods.
A huge job considering many people in England now believe that eating is a health hazard.
Ever since Dennis Liddell packed up his moustache and left the wicket,
the Australian cricket team has been a bit short on characters.
But then along came Merv Hughes.
Nobody bowls, stretches or kisses like Merv.
But what does it take to make a new cricketing hero?
Well, for an edit, for a start.
Good morning.
