Sydney ambush shooting; fatal crash sentence; States' migration warning

0:00Good afternoon. A political war of words is broken out about the violence on Sydney streets after an ambush attack on a boxing coach in the city's southwest. Lewis Man was shot dead in front of shocked witnesses moments after he left the gym at Punchbowl yesterday. Comments from police this morning have been attracting criticism. We always have about eight organised crime murders a year. We are basically on track what we always have in regards to these murders. It's always going to be part and parcel of life in a big metropolis and this is no different. I do not accept that ganglion murders are part of everyday life in our city. Sam Payne has more from the scene. Good afternoon. Well, it was just before 6pm last night where police say 32 year old Lewis Man was walking through this punchbowl community centre car park just about here. When a

1:00gunman called out his name before opening fire hitting him multiple times. Now there was witnesses nearby. The gunman ran away before fleeing in a silver car. Witnesses rushed to the 32 year olds out. All I saw was the guy gets shot. I was just walking right here. I heard a bang. I ran over there and I just started giving the guy CPR. Tragically, Man died at the scene as police began searching for that gunman. It was spotted on CCTV at Bars Hill being parked at the McClane Reserve. They towed that car later that night. But the scene here was frantic. People were helping out trying to figure out what was going on. Children were running from the community centre obviously up from after school care, shocked to what has occurred. Now police are investigating the 32 year old boxing coaches links with organised crime and potential links with motorcycle gangs based in Queensland. This shooting does not have the same hallmarks as the other shootings that have occurred over the last several months. This shooting appears to be an individual

2:03one person acting alone at this stage. The person who was killed last night is known to us. This is the third fatal shooting in nine days. The 50 second gangland shooting this year are more details on this story in the New Houston I-6. In breaking news, the driver who killed a Sudanese community leader in Sudanese West two years ago has just been sentenced. Edgar Hauafano was high on meth when he caused a crash in the Great Western Highway St Mary's, killing father of seven loal-awah. Hauafano pleaded guilty and will spend a minimum of nine years and three months behind bars, but because of time already served he could be out on parole in January 2034. The pedestrian has been killed in a collision with a garbage truck in Sudanese West. The 21 year old was struck at Mount Druid shortly after two this morning. Police say he had visited Mount Druid Police Station twice earlier in the night. Those interactions will now be examined

3:04as part of the investigation. A labour premiere has taken a shot at his federal counterparts over the immigration debate. As the federal government confirms its in talks with the opposition on the issue, South Australia's Peter Malinowski has warned of quote a political race to the bottom. Political reporter Jasmine Turling has more. Good afternoon. Business groups are calling on all sides of politics to reset the migration debate, arguing it can't be focused on an arbitrary number. Major industry bodies are in Parliament today urgently calling on the Albanese government to reverse the go-slow on working holiday visas. This has been a sore point for the government, which has delayed announcing a new package to meet its net overseas migration target. But it's understood backpackers is one area labour is reviewing. Opposition leader Angus Taylor met privately with Anthony Albanese on this issue yesterday. Both leaders are well aware of the threat one nation poses in this space. And the states are divided to, say, Premier Peter Malinowski

4:10is urging mainstream parties to not enter into a political race to the bottom for who can cut migration numbers the most. We're going to be arguing what we're for in terms of migration rather than politics to sing an arbitrary number being set and then everyone catching, cutting retrospectively. If the federal government needs to make a decision in the median term to take pressure of housing prices, well, I think this should be open to doing that. And I don't think it's necessarily a response to one nation. But a spat between its leader Pauline Hansen and Liberal MP Andrew Haiste is turning ugly. Politicians from across the aisle have come out in support of the Ex-special Forces soldier. This relates to a one nation cartoon that repeatedly labels Haiste a traitor referencing the evidence he gave in Ben Robert Smith's defamation case. The 20 plus veterans who gave evidence in the federal court and they did so with integrity. And the question I have for Senator Hansen, are you calling them traitors as well?

5:10She wouldn't last one day in that goddamn uniform. Leave our veterans alone Hansen. I have never called in a traitor. End of question. I don't think he's a traitor. I absolutely respect the services given to our nation. One nation is refusing to back down or remove the video. Former Prime Minister John Howard has said for the first time the Iraq war might never have happened if the American intelligence had been right. He sat down with political editor Mark Riley. I don't know that you've been asked this before. But if that intelligence said we don't think he does have WMD, Saddam Hussein, would you still? I think if we'd have had evidence that that's strong against the likelihood he possessed them, I think that would have given his pause to think hard about whether to go ahead. That would have been to my mind and in retrospect a game changer. We'll have more on that story tonight at 6pm.

6:12NFL favourite fever has well and truly taken over in Melbourne as the LA Rams touched down today barely 24 hours before kickoff tomorrow morning. Well in Asaris has all the action. The LA Rams are just about to hold their first and only practice session here at Marvel Stadium behind me. They touched down just a short time ago arriving in Melbourne at 6 o'clock this morning, a little over 24 hours before their game at the MCG on Friday. It was a tightly timed travel plan. But we've spoken to one of the players on board who said it was a comfortable flight and they managed to get some sleep. Jack Bommester from Bendigo who is a Rams punter is backing the team's process. It's really interesting. It is. Was there a lot of talk about that amongst the team? There's been a lot of talk about over here. I don't think that was that much. I think they just like we're going to back our sports science guys and just go with it. At the end of the day, once the whistle blows, the adrenaline's always going to kick in so

7:15it doesn't really matter how tired you are. We'll see. I guess we'll see what happens. It's a very different travel tactic to the 49ers who flew in last Friday. They've spent the week training and exploring the city and their fans have set up home base at Transport Bar at Federation Square. There will be 100,000 fans at the MCG tomorrow to watch their historic NFL game and thousands more across the city who had followed the teams here. I mean, it was a track. This is definitely the longest star family has ever traveled for an inner game. We travel in the states quite a bit to follow them, but this was a real special occasion for us. My father and I had a tradition of going to the first game of every season because it aligned with his birthday. He passed away unexpectedly in February on Valentine's Day. To honor him, we brought mom out and the rest of the family and we're going to celebrate him and celebrate his birthday this week. We're the faithful. We ride deep with this team. They've got a lot of heart. I think the lineup is a tough one that stack up against this Rams team, but we're super

8:18excited and we're hoping for some good football. All eyes are now firmly on Melbourne as the city prepares to host Australia's first NFL game. Kick off is at 10.30 tomorrow morning.
