00:00Good afternoon. We begin our bulletin with breaking news. A light plane has

00:04crashed in Bosley Park in the city's southwest, coming down within meters of

00:08a sporting field and primary school. Straight 2 reporter Madison Scott is at

00:12the scene. Maddie, two people were on board. Are they okay?

00:18Yeah, well, Sophie, you can clearly see that mangled aircraft there behind me in

00:23the bushes, and the pilot and his passenger have managed to walk away

00:28doing okay. One has a bloodied nose, and detectives from New South Wales

00:33Police are right now talking to the both of them, trying to decipher what

00:37exactly happened this afternoon. Now, we do know that that plane took off from

00:41Bankstown Airport just before 2 30 this afternoon. They were in the air for

00:45just six minutes before that May Day call came through. Now they were on

00:51route to make an emergency landing back at Bankstown Airport, but obviously

00:55never made it coming smack bang down in the middle of a school just behind behind

01:01us here and homes just on this side of the road. So luckily, more people

01:06weren't involved or injured, and that school bell was just about to go off

01:11when that plane came crashing down. So we've had kids described to us what

01:15they saw sitting from their classroom window.

01:19I heard a plane crash as soon as, um, five minutes before the bell. I saw the

01:24plane over. I saw a tiny plane coming through, and I saw it kind of lost

01:29control, and then it went and then it went into the trees.

01:34So, Sophie, if that bell had rung and if that plane had come down moments

01:40later, this could have been very different scenario with kids flooding

01:43out onto this large oval here. Now there is 300 litres of avgas that is

01:49still in that aircraft, so there is an exclusion zone around here and fire and

01:54rescue are working with that and to keep everyone safe at a very chaotic

01:59scene for Bosley Park this afternoon. An incredibly lucky escape as well.

02:04Matty Scott, thank you for that update. A man has been refused bail after

02:08being charged with assault over an alleged kidnapping in the city

02:11southwest. Police say they were told a 26 year old man was allegedly armed

02:16with a gun holding a 29 year old woman against her will. They were later

02:20found in Claymore, where the man was arrested. A witness describing the

02:24heavy police presence. Guns you wouldn't usually kind of think you'd

02:30see on the streets of, you know, anywhere in Australia. Um, you know,

02:34they all get up. It was quite quite intimidating. Police say they didn't

02:38find a gun. There's been a major response at Melbourne Airport when a

02:42passenger opened an emergency exit door and climbed onto the wing of a jet

02:47star plane. The aircraft had only just touched down from Sydney when the

02:50mayhem broke out. More from Laura Turner. This was a jet star flight from

02:56Sydney to Melbourne. It was J Q 507 about 10 o'clock this morning that

03:01this drama unfolded. Passengers have told nine news that as soon as the

03:05plane's wheels touched the ground, this man tried to get out of his seat and

03:10exit. He was swiftly told by staff on board to get back to his seat, but they

03:14say it wasn't long after that, but he made a charge for the exit row,

03:18pushing other passengers out of the way to get to that emergency exit door. I

03:24grabbed Audrey's hand and I squeezed it just out of sheer terror. I was like,

03:27what are we gonna do? Is there any way we can get under the seats? Is there

03:31anywhere we can run? We didn't know if he had a weapon or anything like that

03:34because my immediate reaction was that someone had been hurt. Now, they said,

03:37despite the emergency slide deploying, he actually jumped onto the wing and

03:42then jumped down over the plane's engines onto the tarmac. That is where

03:47he was met by three ground staff. We then apparently tried to fight off his

03:53chest was coming. He was trying to get away and he was yelling. He was trying

03:56to fight them, holding him saying, hit me, hit me and then and then you know,

04:01you've you've hurt me. Jet star has confirmed that this man did get out of

04:07that emergency exit door after the plane had landed. They said everyone is

04:11safe and well though post this happening. Uh Melbourne Airport has

04:15said to that it's proud of how swiftly employees responded to this incident

04:21and is satisfied that everyone is safe and well. Sadly for those on this jet

04:25staff like they did have to wait a fair few hours to get their luggage given

04:31that that inflatable slide was blocking the area where the luggage was on the

04:35plane. So they did have to wait for that. But luckily no one was injured in

04:40this incident. Federal police, the A. F. P. Did arrest this man and they're

04:44now considering charges. A major reform of the National Disability Insurance

04:49scheme aimed at cracking down on dodgy providers is edging ever closer live

04:54now to politics reporter Claudia Rodoljak. Claudia, the new laws are set

04:58to pass parliament soon. Yes. So if the federal government expects the new

05:02laws will formally pass parliament in the next couple of hours after

05:06amendments were agreed to in the Senate earlier this afternoon, the

05:09changes will transform the N. D. I. S. And what services are available to

05:14participants giving greater powers to governments to make rules on how funding

05:19can be spent. Labor has been looking at ways to rein in spending after

05:23accusations of some people spending their funding on sex services, drugs and

05:28expensive holidays. These reforms are expected to save the government more

05:32than $14 billion over four years. But disability groups have serious concerns.

05:38That means cutting funding from people in need. There is also

05:48there is also the knowledge

05:51that we have

05:53that we have been here before. Disabled people and our organisations fought so

06:00long and hard against this bill. The bill will ensure clarity as to what you

06:05can and can't spend your funding on. It will be co designed the new system

06:08co designed with people with disability and their families. While some

06:12disability advocates are clearly disappointed today in the aged care

06:15sector, it's a different picture. Providers backing in major reforms they

06:20say will save the industry. Labor and the coalition have agreed in principle

06:24to dropping criminal penalties like jail time for directors who breached the

06:29and making wealthier elderly Australians pay more for their care. It's expected

06:34to cost for pensioners. The cost for pensioners rather will also rise and

06:38the federal government will pay more to providers welcoming the move to

06:42protect staff in an industry that is struggling to get enough workers. We

06:46don't want to resist rigor. We agree with that. But we believe as the only

06:51part of the health care system that would face such penalties would be a

06:56disaster for older people because the good leaders would stay away and would

07:02not be seeking to lead in this space. And we are desperate for great leaders.

07:06There is a lot of pressure on the care economy, a lot of pressure on the

07:10budget. Our motivation, whether it's in the NDIS or in aged care is to provide

07:14a higher standard of care in a more sustainable way. While the changes are

07:19being finalised, they haven't been formally ticked off yet. The aged care

07:24industry now just wanting certainty so they can make investment decisions that

07:28improve care for our elderly. Sophie. Claudia, thank you. Almost 200,000

07:34Australian families could benefit from proposed changes to the paid parental

07:38leave scheme. The federal government introducing a bill to Parliament today

07:42that would give eligible parents an additional 12% payment to add to their

07:46superannuation fund. It would boost retirement funds by an extra $3,000 a

07:51year. We believe that women shouldn't pay an additional financial penalty just

07:57because they're taking time out to do important work like this. This is about

08:02the cost of living, it's about retirement, it's about fairness, it's about making

08:06sure that more Australian women can retire with more super and have a more

08:10dignified and secure retirement. If passed, the changes would come into

08:15effect from July next year. A national inquiry into the hidden threat of toxic

08:21forever chemicals found in drinking water and everyday products has just

08:25been announced by the federal government. Earlier this week, the alarm was raised

08:29about concerning levels of PFAs in some of our city's water catchments, which

08:34Sydney Water said they were monitoring closely. The cancer-causing chemicals are

08:38also found in personal care products, cleaning products and nonstick cookware.

08:43Australia is one of the few OECD nations that hasn't banned forever chemicals.
