Speaker 1: in a merger of Webjet earlier this month. It fell

00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: thirty five percent following a disappointing results update where it

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: said marj in its European webbeds business remains subdued. Was

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: also a tough day for gaming companies, with Tabcor and

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: The Star Entertainment both lower. Story at number two. The

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: latest News poll has put the Coalition ahead of the

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Labor Party on a two party preferred basis for the

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: first time since the Albanizi government won power. With an

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: election due by the middle of May next year, the

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: polls are starting to become much more relevant, and the

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,080

00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: the major parties thirty eight percent for the Coalition thirty

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: one percent for Labor is unchanged. It's the preferences that

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: have shifted towards the Liberals and Nationals. The Greens are

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,399

00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: approval rating fell to its lowest level since he took

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the job, though he is still well ahead of Opposition

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: leader Peter Dunton as preferred Prime minister. Story number three.

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: It's a case of when, not if, a deadly bird

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: flu pandemic arrives in Australia, the country's top medical expert warns,

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: as almost one hundred million dollars is allocated to dealing

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: with an outbreak. The federal government will spend ninety five

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: million dollars preparing for the H five N one strain

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: of bird flu, which has caused respiratory illness, reduced egg

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: production and sudden death among wild birds and some mammal

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: species in other countries. According to a report on AAP,

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: the H five N one strain of bird flu is

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: different from the strain scene in Australia earlier this year,

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: which led to egg shortages and supermarkets. Australia is the

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: only continent without the H five N one strain, but

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: National Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly says it's coming most

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: likely via migratory birds. He said it's important to get

50
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve. Professor Kelly said a bird flu

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: outbreak would not lead to human health issues, but would

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: spread in the same way as other influenza viruses Australia

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: before the head of the ACTU Sale McManus says she

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: has had to live in multiple places and change her

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: routine due to security concerns following the crack down on

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: the CFMEU. She told the ABC this morning that that's

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: just her life. At the moment, and it's a price

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: to pay for standing up to people. The CFMEU went

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: into administration in August following reports that Bike's and Underworld

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: figures had infiltrated the union, including by being gifted lucrative

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: delegate roles and labor higher agreements. Ms McManus said police

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: have been helpful. She said unions were absolutely committed to

63
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: standing up to intimidation, standing up to violence, standing up

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: to corruption, and finally, story number five, A man carrying

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: illegal firearms, ammunition, and fake passports was arrested near a

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump rally in California over the weekend and what

67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: might have been a third assassination attempt on the former president.

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: The forty nine year old was driving black SUV at

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: a security checkpoint close to Trump's rally in Coachella Valley.

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: The man was taken into custody after he was found

71
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: to be illegally carrying a shotgun, a loaded handgun with

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: a high capacity magazine, ammunition, and fake passports and licenses.

73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: According to the Sheriff's office, the suspect was charged with

74
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: firearms offenses before being released, and he's believed to be

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: a member of the anti government group Sovereign Citizens members

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: maintain that the nation's laws do not apply to them.

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: The arrest follows two assassination attempts on Trump, which have

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: sparked concerned that America's highly polarized election could trigger political violence.

79
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200
