00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the update. Hello, I'm eleanor Quirk. Fireworks have

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: lit up skies across the country as Australia rang in

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, close to a million people lined Sydney

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: Harbor to watch the city spectacular. A minute silence was

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: held at eleven pm to honor the victims of the

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: BONDEI attack. This reveler says it was a somber moment.

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: Tommy here today, I feel like people are not behaving

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: like cowards. They're celebrating and standing up for who they

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: are and what we believe in and what we stand for.

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: The fireworks made for a busy night for fire fighters

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: in Melbourne. Awayward firework ignited a garden bed on the

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: roof of the Premier's office building. In Brisbane, a rogue

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: shells sparked blaze on one of the launch bardges. Petrol

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: and grocery ratailers will be forced to accept cash from today.

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: The federal governments brought in the mandate as a growing

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: number of outlets we're refusing to accept physical currency. Ampchef

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: economists Seane Oliver says many people still want to use cash.

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: Bye large, You're going to find that most places therefore

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: will have to accept cash now. And I think that's

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: fair enough because even though the number of transactions using cash, well,

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: many people use their phone now their card whatever. That's true,

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: but there's still a lot of people who still rely

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: on cash.

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: And also from today, medicine costs will be slashed, with

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: patients paying no more than twenty five dollars for some

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: prescription drugs. Trent to Me from the Pharmacy Guild says

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: it's welcome relief.

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 4: One in five Australians are delaying, deferring, or going without

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: getting their medication dispensed because of cost. In a country

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 4: as lucky as Australia, no Australian should have to choose

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: between food, between rent or getting the medication dispense that

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,560

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,640
