ninemsn is actually run by the nine TV network in Oz. This clip of her was on the 6pm news. At the time I saw it I thought - mmm she's making it sound like the guy was carrying a pump action shot gun, not a handgun (just the whole chk chk boom thing). The clip is actually recorded by the reporter.
I've already got my bullshit meter turned right up when I watch TV news, so I was really not too surprised when it was revealed she was an eyewitness to nothing.
RE the racism - Aussies like to think we aren't racist, but it definitely still exists, and there is still a fair amount of segregation. I think the followup story says she is a beach chick (Northern Beaches) and it is hardly an area of Sydney rife with 'wogs'. It reminds me about what happened at Cronulla a few years ago (with the riots).
