How on earth has that audio of the phone call come out?
Newscorp have prior convictions for that sort of thing, so would be a likely suspect.

And just for the lols I'm gonna take off the 'ignore' tag on your posts for a while.
They are not a major secret, recordings can be obtained for any call through FOI
Err no.They are not a major secret, recordings can be obtained for any call through FOI
Err no.
Section 63 of the Triple Zero Victoria Act 2023 sets out clear restrictions on who can access those recordings - they are unable to be released without the express consent of any other relevant person(s) or organisation(s) identified in the call.
To request a triple zero call audio recording, you need to be:
There are obvious confidentiality reasons for these restrictions.
- the person who made the call (or their legal guardian or agent), or
- the lawful guardian or next of kin of a person who made a call, who is either a child or is deceased, or
- a person who is a subject of the Triple Zero Victoria call where the caller has provided consent or cannot be identified.
For example, a politician using Parliamentary privilege to publicly release details of a 000 call for political reasons might reduce the chances of people in future calling the 000 number to report an accident, fire or crime knowing that their personal details and recording of the call could become front page news.
The question of how this particular recording was obtained by a politician and then read into Hansard and provided to particular news organisations (or maybe it happened the other way around as we have seen in this country before) seems to me to be a legitimate and important question.
Was Catherine tending to the kid and calling 000 at the same time with an accurate address description after supposedly being the driver who hit the boy (or had the boy hit him) and potentially in some shock herself?
If so, what the hell was Dan doing and why did he double up on the call?
Or was there a mystery third-party witness?
Yet I’ve completed FOI requests for them in the past…
But you’ll also hear them on TV shows
Clearly someone at the 000 call repository doesn’t like Dan and has illegally shared the recording.Err no.

Triple Zero Victoria has Ministerial authorisation enabling it to release information under the FOI Act that would otherwise be confidential under the Triple Zero Act I quoted previously.
But those authorisations are within strict limitations and purposes, namely:
- educating the community or any section of the community about the role of and the services offered by the Authority
- promoting public health and safety
- responding to complaints, enquiries or compliments about or relating to the Authority, a Member of or acting Member of the Authority or an employee of the Authority
- support for the staff of the Authority, which may include commendations or other recognition
- responding to requests for access to records under the FOI Act so far as the exemptions contained in that Act (other than that contained in s 38 of that Act) do not apply to the information.
I don't see how releasing the Andrews accident 000 call meets those authorisations (maybe point 3 but that would require a public statement from the authority outlining the justification) but I freely admit I don't know the detail of its release.
I've also not seen a statement confirming how Libertarian MP David Limbrick came to hear the recording made by Andrews that he read into Hansard yesterday. His parliamentary statement yesterday calling for the recording to be publicly released suggests to me that it was not an FOI release but was accessed from other sources.
Can you confirm that this particular recording was released under FOI? And if so who made the FOI request and what were the reasons that deemed that release justified?
Because, outside of the obvious political interest, imho this information (how the recording was released for political gain and why) is more important to the public interest than the recording of call itself.
LOL - I wasn't the one who raised the issue of the source of the 000 call. And it was you who made the assertion about the source being from FOI.But this is the usual m.o when bad information is uncovered about your dear leader, go after the source and pretend that’s far worse than the actual information.
LOL - I wasn't the one who raised the issue of the source of the 000 call. And it was you who made the assertion about the source being from FOI.
All I did was point out the facts around FOI access to 000 calls and why state actors breaching those legislated privacy provisions might be the bigger issue here - especially for those who make a claim to be libertarians demanding greater privacy and personal freedoms.
But rather than discussing the issue like an adult or admitting to your lack of knowledge - you pivot to parroting the empty and baseless personal political attack for someone daring to call you to account.
Why am I not surprised at your lack of self awareness here?
'LOL' indeed.lol, you’re the one who claimed that the person releasing the recording was far more interest to the public
Stating there's nothing to show for it is laughable too. NEL, Metro, Railway crossings etc build themselves do they? IPA have a vested interest in what the government should spend money on so this analysis should be taken with a grain of salt. Perhaps Labor told these guys to piss off somewhere along the line. Not disagreeing the finances are in a poor place right now just the way those statements were worded.Im sure the IPA is impartial.
Oh wait.
The issue isn't the debt levels they have stated but trying to paint a picture of " nothing to show for it" is just political spin. If they truly cared about the economy and the state they would have listed some of the positive things the money that's been invested will achieve once completed but offset that with the unfortunate circumstances that have come with it. This is just them saying " Do things our way and you wouldn't have any of these problems" which is a load of garbage.The debt and spending numbers contained in the IPA's report are able to be fact-checked as they are not a matter of opinion. So rather than go "teh IPA ?!??!" perhaps debunk the figures - if they are wrong, it should be simple.
Shouldn't the responsibility for clearing the PFAS have been clear in the initial agreements if they all knew it was there? Also, we should expect more of governments - it's not like a collection of people off the street with no alleged expertise in, you know, governing. Easily avoidable mistakes should be easily avoided.
According to Sttew that was much better than how Andrews ran the state. I'd say because it may not of affected him personally so he couldn't care less how Kennett did things. The Conservative way of running things is always Austerity regardless of the situation and other alternatives. Outside of COVID if your biggest gripe with Andrews is he has racked up alot of debt than I reckon he could live with that. Much rather proactive government than a government that cuts services across the board than tells everybody to suck it we had no choice. Newman tried to do this in QLD and look how far it got him.Kennett's strategy seemed to be austerity, cut funding (particularly if you were, say, in the arts and criticised his government), sack everyone, sell everything.
COVID and Andrews are related are they not? You seem to bring up COVID alot so which is it? Is he or is he not responsible?.This is a thread about Daniel Andrews not Covid. It pays to consider context instead of sniping
