Arthur Calwell interviewed

Because of the limitations of the OB camera, Michael Schildberger succeeds in drawing Calwell over to where 9’s camera is set up for capturing a one-on-one interview. An initially reluctant Calwell looks directly at the camera and points to his lapel showing where the bullet lodged. He states that he forgives Kocan, believing him to be mentally ill. Calwell also notes that assassination attempts in Australia are very rare (the only other one at that time being the Duke of Edinburgh in 1868).

While Calwell is being interviewed, the Channel 9 technicians battle to maintain an uninterrupted shot. You can hear shouts of ‘get out of the way’ and yelling when large television lights are moved, dramatically altering the lighting of the scene; flaring in the lens and overloading of the camera tubes affects the contrast of the picture. Another large outside broadcast camera can be seen in the background as Calwell moves off to his car.
