David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to line fine, double a breakfast. Let's start the news wrap though with Hayden Nelson, who is in the city for seven years at a stabbing that took place. Hayden, good morning to you mate.

What's happened?

Yeah, morning, guys. Well this has only happened at about five o'clock this morning here on Baufer's Way in the city at the Altitude Hotel and apartment block here where we understand it's been three people injured, all stabbed by the sounds of it, Three men taking a hospital, one of those in a critical but stable condition. So at this stage it's pretty extensive crime scene, spanning sort of in the a room or an apartment in one of the sort of the higher levels of this apartment block, and then right down to the lobby and through the lift as well. So when police were called here, they really swarm this apartment block trying to understand exactly what had happened. There was a number of people that were speaking to inside the unit. At this stage you understand, that's just one person who may or may not still be in the unit that they are speaking to to try and lean some information as to exactly what's happened here, but a stabbing attacking the city. Three people injured at this stage and investigation underway.

So I'm just having trouble placing exactly where it is, mate, So what does it have a name? In this place? Sorry? Dave?

What was that?

Where exactly is it? Is it an actual hotel? Is it a pub? Yeah?

So just behind Life Square. I don't know the sort of the name of the apartment, bog It's called Altitude. It's called the Ice Day Hotel, which the mixed of service departments and sort of you know, overnight stays and longer term stage as well.

It's a pretty knock about sort of a place, isn't it. Like it's not exactly the Stanford or the Software Tail, is it?

Oh no, But.

There's a there's a good Brazilian restaurant here actually, David, so you might, I know you like your Brazilian food. It's not too far away at or right at the bottom of here in the lobby, so look, it can't be too bad. But obviously they've been guessed here. They've been staying the night. I don't know how many nice they've been staying here for I don't think this is a rental. I think they were guessing the hotel side of things. And yeah, certainly it's all lockedown at the moment with police going in and out, and they've sort of set up a shift change office at the front here, so there's plenty of police and if you do go past, you'd definitely see that there's a large police presidency here to try and with detectives who are looking at what happened.

Yeah, and stuff. Hayden, Thank you, Hayden Nelson for seven years in the city covering that story this morning. Over the weekend, the US President was in Pittsburgh, the home of still making in the United States, and he made an announcement with a regard to a tariff that affects Australia and is one of the tariffs that wasn't covered in the court case that you might remember recovered at the end of last week that was making the path to increasing, decreasing and applying tariff'small problematic for the US president. Things on steel and aluminium weren't covered by that, and he used that freedom over the weekend by announcing that he would raise the steel tariff on foreign imports from twenty five percent to fifty percent that will take place on June the fourth. This is not one of those with a ninety day negotiation period. This is coming in effective immediately June the fourth. In It's Wilcocks from the Australian Industry Group joins us on five double a breakfast in It's good morning to.

You, morning, how are you?

We're good, thank you. And it's sort of weird with the time difference. You wake up to a new policy surprise every other day the way the US is being run at the moment. But from an Australian industry perspective, what sort of impact do you think this could have on business here in Australia.

Well, David, you just touched on it yourself. It's just creating enormous uncertainty around how Australia deals with the United States, either directly or indirectly with trade through third countries. You know, you've seen the proposed tariffs put on countries like Vietnam, Thailand and of course China and their big trading partners for Australia too. And Australian companies get a lot of goods or inputs for their products from those countries manufacture them here and then export them to the United States. So costs are going up, uncertainty's going up, shipping is very difficult. And now you've had this latest move on steel, which comes after the Court of Trade of International Trade last week sort of go to the US administration a bit of a knockback on its tariff plans. So he's playing very much to his domestic audience. Being in Pittsburgh to make this announcement tells you a lot around where the thinking of the administration is.

It's at home.

Well, what do you think Australia's response should be. I mean, it feels starting to feel a bit galling that he sat down with China to sort of go, okay, I can see you guys are a bit upset about Plan A, so we'll come up with a Plan B. So he's tried to smooth things over with China. Why should a country like US that's shown nothing but loyalty to the US be traded with such indifference.

Well, we got I put this right. We got it with a ten percent tariff like a lot of other countries. And you know k for instance, their Prime minister said this was the greatest victory of all that he could possibly have had so to only get a ten percent tariff. We got one too. But steel is important to us as an industry. We have Wayala and South Australia obviously, which is getting a lot of government support at the moment. But it's important because it produces still for domestic consumption and for heavy industrial needs. And what the big concern we're going to have here from this is that we might be well be the subject of dumping from other countries of steel into the Australian market, because if it can't get to America, it's got to go somewhere else, and Australia is as good a place as any. So the Prime Minister's meeting President Trump in about two weeks in Canada, and quite frankly, that'll be about the most important meeting he'll have as Prime minister to try to get some stability back into the economic relationship between US and the United States, which is such a huge trading partner and investment partner for Australia. So what should we do get on the funk foot make the case we have critical minerals, a lot of those from South Australia. That's our ace in the whole here. We could help the United States with the use of critical minerals. You know, they're concerned very much about China's almost monopoly on some critical minerals. We're the ones who can help them out here. We've got to play that card.

Thank you, and it's will got thanks for Industry group. Let's talk about the local perspective. The Minister of a Trade and Investment in South Australia is Joe Sochlich Minister. Good morning to.

You morning guys.

Are going Does.

A change like this necessitate any I mean, I appreciate that the budget's coming out this week, it's probably already printed, the inks drying, But does it necessitate a state government response to our Does do our exporters need some support?

Yeah? Look they do, they do, David, And I think you know the frame that I put on this is that it's it's consistently inconsistent and as you said in your intro, it's almost every every night we go to sleep and every morning, you know, we wake up with a new which talks about new tariffs and the volatility is really damaging at the moment and it's exactly why we announced on the weekend that it's part of this year's state budget being handed down this week, that we're injecting five million dollars into specific tariff relief and programs which are directly aimed at front footing this both problem but also unique opportunity. Tariffs are bad. This is a devastatingly short sighted decision that continues to be made by President Trump. It's really damaging for the US economy. And that's what if I have to be honest with you, give you gives me some degree of anxiety, is what this means to a potentially slowing US economy and what that means for overall demand for our products outside of just the tariff proposition. But with the five million dollars that we're injecting, what we're focused on is doing what we do best as a state, and whether it be from wine to advanced manufacturing to sports technology, we are in probably the best position that we ever have been as a state to be meeting these challenges head on. Our exports in the last two years have been fifty percent bigger than any other part at any other time in our history. We've got to work harder, We've got to be more resilient. We've got to be really direct about this. But fundamentally, we've got to get out there on the front foot and use every opportunity that we can both across North America and Europe Asia. It's exactly why I've just returned from China, our biggest trading partner. It's exactly why on the weekend I'm traveling to Japan and Korea, who are really important strategic economic partners now region. We've got to leverage everything we can. We've got to put our best foot forward.

Well, Minister Trade and Investment, Joe Sokach, the state budget comes out Thursday this week and we'll find out more then. Matt Abraham and I'll be there. Will he did get Now? Was that breaking it day early that he got an invite? In the end, he did get it is break at later. We do have another breaking at eight.

Oh okay, but that's breaking at seven eighteen that Matt Abraham has been invited to the state budget lock up. I was genuinely excited about it. Just why we love him Abraham.

Political nerdling is have you ever folks fallen victim to a porch?

Pirate?

Eight double two to three double o double ow. We're not talking about the high seas here. They roamed the streets seeking to steal recently delivered packages from your porch.

A porch pirate. I've the term no is this is rife.

Now. There was another story last night, a three hundred and fifty dollar package which delivered at the doorstep of a Camden Park home and Tochi Juma had a one of these new fandangled bells where if someone's standing at front door, he gets a notification on his phone this movement. So he looked at his phone, Oh, my pass was being delivered. Great, better get home and get it.

Well.

Within ten minutes he got another notification and he looked at the video and there was someone else.

There was that.

Shocked overwhemed. You know, I just feel a little bit on the sief in the video. My husband was like shouting, what are you doing here, Chief Tief Tief and he just grabbed the eight and so and took off.

This is happening all the time at the moment because of how popular and widespread buying things online is. We know Australia Post the in West entire business model now is delivering parcels well.

The other thing too, is that leave leave item in a safe place. I had probably become increasingly popular because the alternative is you've got to schlep down to the local post office. You've got a queue, and often, particularly a holiday time like Christmas time, they're so busy and there's so many parcels. Sometimes I've actually gone there. I went there before Christmas, to our local post office and they said, we're really sorry. We've got so many parcels there. They're not even in alphabetical order, and you're trying to describe what it is and they say, actually the place he hasn't even dropped the back here yet. For those those reasons, people go, yeah, we'll just leave it on the veranda.
