WEBVTT - BCA issues new warning 

0:00:05.850 --> 0:00:10.890
<v Speaker 1>Australia's trust in politicians and government has fallen since last year. Meanwhile,

0:00:10.970 --> 0:00:14.070
<v Speaker 1>this is according to a new report. The McKinnon Index

0:00:14.550 --> 0:00:19.209
<v Speaker 1>has found a majority largely support a democracy, but support

0:00:19.310 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>for democracy has declined among young men to 54 percent. Now,

0:00:25.180 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the report identifying an increase in the number of young

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>men who believe extreme measures could sometimes be justified. The

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>report also found three quarters of Australians believe the country

0:00:36.140 --> 0:00:39.589
<v Speaker 1>is more divided than it was just 12 months ago.

0:00:41.130 --> 0:00:45.150
<v Speaker 1>Businesses are expected to pay an extra $ 920 million in

0:00:45.229 --> 0:00:49.769
<v Speaker 1>tax in 2029. The Business Council of Australia warning companies

0:00:49.810 --> 0:00:53.450
<v Speaker 1>will spend billions of dollars on financial advice. That's as

0:00:53.490 --> 0:00:57.830
<v Speaker 1>a result of the federal government's discretionary trust reforms. The

0:00:57.870 --> 0:01:01.230
<v Speaker 1>council has made a submission to a Senate inquiry saying

0:01:01.250 --> 0:01:05.030
<v Speaker 1>the proposal must not proceed and it's arguing the changes

0:01:05.069 --> 0:01:09.610
<v Speaker 1>would add to the national tax burden and maintain double taxation.

0:01:10.330 --> 0:01:14.009
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanese expected to attend the Cabinet and Expenditure Review

0:01:14.069 --> 0:01:18.380
<v Speaker 1>Committee meetings between his international trips that have been scheduled.

0:01:19.300 --> 0:01:22.779
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanese is expected to propose a new backpacker visa

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.110
<v Speaker 1>policy to UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The pair will

0:01:26.150 --> 0:01:28.550
<v Speaker 1>meet today on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Heads of

0:01:28.590 --> 0:01:32.700
<v Speaker 1>Government meeting to discuss a change to free trade agreement rules,

0:01:32.780 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>which would allow British backpackers to come to Australia with

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.710
<v Speaker 1>particular restrictions, reportedly. Now, at the moment, there aren't restrictions.

0:01:42.170 --> 0:01:44.750
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanese not expected to request a cap on the

0:01:44.790 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>number of visas, but... He will reportedly propose a requirement

0:01:48.900 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>for backpackers to spend time in regional Australia to address

0:01:53.180 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>workforce shortages. New South Wales is spearheading a push to

0:01:57.460 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>return NAPLAN testing back to pen and paper. State and

0:02:00.940 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Territory Ministers will meet today to discuss returning the annual

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.309
<v Speaker 1>tests for Years 5, 7 and 9 back to traditional

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.710
<v Speaker 1>methods rather than on a computer. Currently, Year 3 students

0:02:11.790 --> 0:02:14.490
<v Speaker 1>complete NAPLAN using a pen and paper. The push continues.

0:02:14.860 --> 0:02:19.100
<v Speaker 1>aiming to reverse declining literacy standards shown in recent standardised

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>assessment results.

0:02:21.860 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 2>South Wales Government's view is the best way to learn

0:02:23.980 --> 0:02:27.790
<v Speaker 2>writing is to do writing. That's the best way to

0:02:27.870 --> 0:02:31.369
<v Speaker 2>practise and that's really what we're... That's the common sense

0:02:31.410 --> 0:02:34.710
<v Speaker 2>view that the Deputy Premier is taking to the Education Ministers.

0:02:34.730 --> 0:02:40.269
<v Speaker 1>Schools in Queensland have already implemented the new rule, recording

0:02:40.370 --> 0:02:45.780
<v Speaker 1>significant increases in results. Prosecutors in France have launched an

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>attempted murder investigation into rioters accused of throwing a petrol

0:02:49.980 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>bomb at police. The protests over the weekend were largely peaceful,

0:02:53.780 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>but some demonstrations in Paris turned violent. Police have accused

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.739
<v Speaker 1>protesters of attacking them with projectiles, including a Molotov cocktail.

0:03:03.460 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutors reporting injuries from the attacks include second-degree burns. Authorities

0:03:08.139 --> 0:03:11.100
<v Speaker 1>do not have any suspects in custody and are working

0:03:11.139 --> 0:03:16.610
<v Speaker 1>to identify those responsible. Iranian negotiators are in Doha for

0:03:16.630 --> 0:03:20.090
<v Speaker 1>a third day of talks with Qatari mediators. The talks

0:03:20.150 --> 0:03:22.230
<v Speaker 1>are aimed at pushing for a deal to end the

0:03:22.389 --> 0:03:29.630
<v Speaker 1>US-Israel conflict with Iran, Iran's supreme leader. Ayatollah Mojtaba Hamani

0:03:29.710 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 1>has issued a statement ordering armed forces to be prepared

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>to respond to any attacks. US President Donald Trump saying

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the United States will not launch new attacks on Iran

0:03:39.820 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>before the midterm elections.
