      good evening

  <WSC#MSN186:0010:AD>
      all that's known about australia's latest random killer is that
      he was thirty three a loner and a parttime taxi driver who held
      a licence

  <WSC#MSN186:0015:AD>
      there was no motive

  <WSC#MSN186:0020:AD>
      he didn't know any of his victims

  <WSC#MSN186:0025:AD>
      seven people were shot dead and an eighth

  <WSC#MSN186:0030:AD>
      a teenage girl

  <WSC#MSN186:0035:AD>
      was hacked to <&>1:00</&> death with a machete

  <WSC#MSN186:0040:AD>
      the killing spree at sydney's strathfield shopping plaza ended
      with the gunman putting a bullet through his own head

  <WSC#MSN186:0045:AD>
      tonight australia is reeling in shock and disbelief

  <WSC#MSN186:0050:AD>
      here's one network news correspondent craig mcmurtrie
      <&>1:15</&> <&>two minutes one second not transcribed</&>
      <&>3:16</&>

  <WSC#MSN186:0055:AD>
      today's random killing is a part of a pattern of mass urban
      violence in australia in recent years

  <WSC#MSN186:0060:AD>
      in nineteen eighty seven there was the notorious hoddle street
      massacre in melbourne

  <WSC#MSN186:0065:AD>
      a nineteen year old killed seven

  <WSC#MSN186:0070:AD>
      four months later in melbourne frank vitcovich gunned down eight
      office workers

  <WSC#MSN186:0075:AD>
      he later fell to his death from an eleventh floor window

  <WSC#MSN186:0080:AD>
      in nineteen ninety rodney dale took pot shots at people on the
      gold coast killing a seventy seven year old woman

  <WSC#MSN186:0085:AD>
      and last year paul antony evers objected to being called a dole
      bludger and killed five people in sydney

  <WSC#MSN186:0090:AD>
      almost always the offender has been a loner with a grudge

  <WSC#MSN186:0095:AD>
      we now cross live to <&>4:00</&> craig mcmurtrie in sydney at
      the scene of the killing

  <WSC#MSN186:0100:AD>
      craig was that the case again

  <WSC#MSN186:0105:AD>
      was this a loner with a grudge <&>4:06</&> <&>one minute thirty
      nine seconds not transcribed</&> <&>5:45</&>

  <WSC#MSN186:0110:AD>
      craig thank you

  <WSC#MSN186:0115:AD>
      craig mcmurtrie live from sydney

  <WSC#MSN186:0120:AD>
      the selectors have finally named the team

  <WSC#MSN186:0125:AD>
      and the all blacks could justifiably be renamed the auck blacks

  <WSC#MSN186:0130:AD>
      there are now eleven aucklanders in the team to play australia
      at <&>6:00</&> eden park on saturday

  <WSC#MSN186:0135:AD>
      they certainly kept us waiting

  <WSC#MSN186:0140:AD>
      was it worthwhile brendan

  <WSC#MSN186:0145:BT>
      well angela that's taken them five extra days as we said to
      produce one shock and a minor reshuffle <,>

  <WSC#MSN186:0150:BT>
      the shock is mark carter the auckland tear away flanker brought
      in for his first test in place of andy earl

  <WSC#MSN186:0155:BT>
      and bernie mccahill gets a test recall replacing walter little
      at second five eighth

  <WSC#MSN186:0160:BT>
      now the team is in the backs terry wright john timu john kirwan
      craig innes bernie mccahill grant fox and graham bachop

  <WSC#MSN186:0165:BT>
      john preston joins the reserves along with walter little and
      greg cooper

  <WSC#MSN186:0170:BT>
      the forwards are zinzan brooke michael jones mark carter ian
      jones gary whetton steve mcdowell richard lowe and sean
      fitzpatrick

  <WSC#MSN186:0175:BT>
      graham dow joins lawrence alena and andy earl in the reserves
      <&>6:40</&> <&>one minute twenty eight seconds not transcribed</&>
      <&>8:08</&>

  <WSC#MSN186:0180:BT>
      so what are we to make of this all black side

  <WSC#MSN186:0185:BT>
      many will be disappointed the selectors haven't made more
      changes given the indifferent form of the all blacks in nineteen
      ninety one

  <WSC#MSN186:0190:BT>
      on balance the players brought in are not noticeably better than
      the players replaced

  <WSC#MSN186:0195:BT>
      but essentially wylie and his co selectors are giving this all
      black side one last chance

  <WSC#MSN186:0200:BT>
      it's obvious they don't want to make wholesale changes for the
      world cup but if this side loses next saturday that's exactly
      what they'll have to do

  <WSC#MSN186:0205:BT>
      and we've just heard the australians have suffered a setback for
      the test

  <WSC#MSN186:0210:BT>
      number eight tim gavin's out of the team with a knee injury

  <WSC#MSN186:0215:BT>
      angela

  <WSC#MSN186:0220:AD>
      thanks brendan

      the barge d b twenty nine capsized in stormy weather in the
      south china sea on thursday

  <WSC#MSN186:0245:AD>

      opened as it sank <,>

  <WSC#MSN186:0250:AD>

      help property owners clean up their land and <&>18:00</&> homes
      under an employment department scheme

  <WSC#MSN186:0320:AD>
      as competitions go it was fairly unusual

  <WSC#MSN186:0325:AD>
      standard equipment required a spotlight a sharp eye and insomnia

      nottingham <.>fo</.> forest and aston villa

  <WSC#MSN186:0375:BT>
      it was the new zealand squash open but it was controlled by
      australia

  <WSC#MSN186:0380:BT>
      all four finalists came from across the tasman

  <WSC#MSN186:0385:BT>

      streamers flowed as freely as the tears as the curtain fell on
      the final performance of les miserables in auckland last night

  <WSC#MSN186:0435:AD>
      it's hailed as the most spectacular and successful stage
      performance in new zealand
