WEBVTT - Black Marketplace 28/05/24

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>This is the latest from your news speech. It's Tuesday,

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the twenty eighth of May. Facebook has become a thriving

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>marketplace for black market merchants, hawking everything from counterfeit cash,

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>cloned credit cards and illegal firearms. Multiple pages seen by

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Telegraph claimed to sell firearms, including handguns and

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>silences in return for cryptocurrency. Other pages selling counterfeit Australian

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>dollars claim the notes can get through all security measures

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and are good for using in casinos. Many of the

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>pages also direct customers to telegram chats where narcotics such

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 1>as ice and heroin can be bought. As revealed by

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Telegraph last week, a sexual harassment scandal has

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>engulfed one of the country's biggest retailers, implicating its CEO

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and forcing the resignation of a senior executive. The Heralds

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>can reveal two legal firms have been appointed to investigate

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.919
<v Speaker 1>the handling of sexual assault allegations by Country Road Group

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.919
<v Speaker 1>after multiple allegations by males and females were filed against

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>former senior executive Rashid Maliki. Staff have accused the fashion

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>brand and CEO of what they see as a cover

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>up over mister Maliki's conduct, amid allegations of the repeated

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>harassment of staff members, including unsolicited touching and kissing. We'll

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>be back after this. Queensland Premier Stephen miles sensational call

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>to slash immigration amid unprecedented growth has been questioned, with

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>documents revealing that the state's population is on par with

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>what was predicted when Labour came to power nine years ago.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Government data from twenty fifteen reveals the state's population was

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>tipped to be five point two five million in twenty

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, but ended up being five point one six million.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Predictions that Queensland would house five point seven three million

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>people in twenty twenty six remain stable, but the government

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>says the figures need to be updated following a population

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>explosion in the past twelve months, and students have moved

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>into the new ninety eight million dollar expansion of an

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Adelaide CBD school after construction delays meant they had to

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 1>learn elsewhere on campus for the start of the year.

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>The new seven story building at Adelaide Botanic High School

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>is almost complete, including a rooftop sports area, a ground

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>floor cafe, an entrepreneurial hub, and stem Labs. We'll have

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>an update to your news feed tomorrow
