00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Was also a tough day for gaming companies, with Tabcor

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: and The Star Entertainment both lower. Story number two. The

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: latest News poll has put the Coalition ahead of the

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: Labor Party on a two party preferred basis for the

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: first time since the Albanizi government won power. With an

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: election due by the middle of May next year, the

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: polls are starting to become much more relevant, and the

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,600

00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the job, though he is still well ahead of Opposition

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: leader Peter Dunton as preferred Prime minister. Story number three.

36
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: It's a case of when, not if, a deadly bird

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: flu pandemic arrives in Australia, the country's top medical expert warns,

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: as almost one hundred million dollars is allocated to dealing

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: with an outbreak. The federal government will spend ninety five

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: million dollars preparing for the H five N one strain

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: of bird flu, which has caused respiratory illness, reduced eproduction

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: and sudden death among wild birds and some mammal species

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: in other countries. According to a report on AAP, the

44
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: H five N one strain of bird flu is different

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: from the strain scene in Australia earlier this year, which

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: led to egg shortages and supermarkets. Australia is the only

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: continent without the H five N one strain, but National

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly says it's coming most likely

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: via migratory birds. He said it's important to get ahead

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: of the curve. Professor Kelly said a bird flu outbreak

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: would not lead to human health issues, but would spread

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: in the same way as other influenza viruses. Austraightam before

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: the head of the ACTU Sale McManus says she has

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: had to live in multiple places and change her routine

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: due to security concerns following the crackdown on the CFMEAU.

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: She told the ABC this Morning that that's just her

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: life at the moment, and it's a price to pay

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: for standing up to people. The CFMEU went into administration

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: in August following reports that Bike's and Underworld figures had

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: infiltrated the union, including by being gifted lucrative delegate roles

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: and labor higher agreements. Ms McManus said police have been helpful.

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: She said unions were absolutely committed to standing up to intimidation,

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: standing up to violence, standing up to corruption, and finally,

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: story number five, A man carrying illegal firearms, ammunition, and

65
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: fake passports was arrested near a Donald Trump rally in

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: California over the weekend and what might have been a

67
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: third assassination attempt on the former president. The forty nine

68
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: year old was driving black SUV at a security checkpoint

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: close to Trump's rally in Coachella Valley. The man was

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: taken into custody after he was found to be illegally

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: carrying a shotgun, a loaded handgun with a high capacity magazine, ammunition,

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: and fake passports and licenses. According to the Sheriff's office,

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: the suspect was charged with firearms offenses before being released,

74
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: and he's believed to be a member of the anti

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: government group Sovereign Citizens. Members maintained that the nation's laws

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: do not apply to them. The arrest follows two assassination

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: attempts on Trump, which have sparked concerned that America's highly

78
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: polarized election could trigger political violence. That's it's the afternoon

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: report for Monday, the fourteenth of October twenty twenty four.

80
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Michael Thompson and I will be back tomorrow morning. It's
