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.

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.
