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.

On 21 June 1966 Australia was shocked when Labor and Opposition Leader Arthur Calwell was shot at close range after attending an anti-conscription rally at Mosman Town Hall, Sydney.

In the following days, GTV9 political reporter Tom Jones interviewed Arthur Calwell’s wife Elizabeth about how she is coping with the stress of the incident.

Upon arrival at Essendon airport Calwell was surrounded by a tight circle of news reporters questioning him about the incident.

Calwell was released from hospital amidst a heavy police presence with media warned not to approach him or they would be arrested.
