1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the update. I'm to Lisa Ryder.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: Pressure is mounting on Joe Biden to withdraw from the

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: US presidential race after he tested positive to COVID this morning.

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: In a statement, the White House says the president is

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: now isolating and experiencing only mild symptoms. Just hours earlier,

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: he said he would only pull out of the presidential

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: race on doctors' orders back home, and the federal government

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: is under pressure to explain why it's taken so long

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: to crack down on corruption within the Construction Union, only

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: days after the media exposed organized crime links. The CFMEU

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: is being placed under control of an independent administrator. Independent

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: MP Zoe Daniel says, it's been a long time coming.

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: This stuff's been percolating around for twelve months in various forms.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: So really, I think it's given the government an excuse

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: to move, but it could blow back on the government

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: if the Commission doesn't act forcefully enough. So I do

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: think it's a big test for labor because this will

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: not pass the pub test.

00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,640

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: on their platforms. Among the recommendations is limiting infinite scrolling features.

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Georgie Harmon from Beyond Blues says social media companies need

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: to step up and play their part. It's called safety

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: by design. We need to hold social media companies to

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: account so they design their platforms in safe way. A

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,920

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,679

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: three years after the little girl was snatched from a

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: tent in Western Australia. The family have kept a relatively

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: low profile since the kidnapping made headlines around the world.

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Are abductor Terrence Kelly, now spending thirteen years behind bars.

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: at bay got them over the line. It's the first

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: time since two thousand and five the Blues have won

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,120
