1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: This is the latest from your new speed. It's Wednesday, 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: the twelfth of June.

The 5 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: threat comes after mister McBurney launched legal action against the 6 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: union during his time as the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner, 7 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: resulting in the CFMEU being penalized millions of dollars. Mister 8 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: Sedka on Tuesday evenings said the union would not cooperate 9 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: with the League to manage deadlines and costs on its 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: projects under mister McBurney, appointed to his new role as 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: head of umpiring in April, was given the boot in 12 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: New South Waleses disruption to Sydney's light rail network for 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: twenty four hours on Wednesday could soon extend to the 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: city trains and buses. The Sectors Union has warned. The 15 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: light rail shutdown comes after a breakdown in negotiations between 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: the rail trim and Bus union and light rail operator Trensdev, 17 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: in which the union demanding a twenty three percent pay 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: rise over four years and an extra five six days 19 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: for tram staff each year. The strike will effect thousands 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: of commuters who normally use the three light rail lines, 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: with an average of more than one hundred and twenty 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: five thousand trips taken each weekday in April on the trams. 23 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: We're back after this. Taxes on Queenslanders will help plug 24 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: the state's revenue hole as the golden era of coal 25 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: royalties comes to an end. Treasurer Cameron Dick's controversial royalties 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: increase has helped break in a whopping twenty five billion 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: dollars from coal in the last two years, but his 28 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: later state budget has revealed this will shrink to a 29 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: trickle of five billion dollars a year out to mid 30 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. But the coffers remain healthy amid a 31 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: spike in taxes and other revenue gleaned from Queenslanders through property, 32 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: payroll and misbehavior on the roads. There is also an 33 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: impending crackdown on tax compliance and overdue fines worth nearly 34 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: one billion dollars. And in South Australia, two former Adelaide 35 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: coaches have questioned the team's mentality on the back of 36 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: a string of narrow defeats that has left its season 37 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: in free fall. Inaugural Crow's coach Graham Korn's called the 38 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: side struggle to cope with being favorites as a psychological weakness, 39 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: while dual premiership mentor Malcolm Blynt said some players would 40 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: be lacking belief they could win tight games. Over the 41 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: past two years, Adelaide has a nine to one seven 42 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: record when favored by bookmarkers, and are two to one 43 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: nine in matches decided by eight points or fewer. The 44 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Crows's eight point home loss to one win Richmond last 45 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: Thursday left Adelaide in fifteen spot on the ladder, with 46 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: its finals hopes all but over.
