WEBVTT - CFMEU Boss Demands AFL Sacks Umpire Boss 12/06/2024

0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the latest from your new speed. It's Wednesday,

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the twelfth of June. CFMEU boss John Setka has demanded

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the AFL sack its umpire boss, former building watchdog Stephen McBurney,

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>or face delays on its league related projects nationwide. The

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>threat comes after mister McBurney launched legal action against the

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>union during his time as the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner,

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>resulting in the CFMEU being penalized millions of dollars. Mister

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Sedka on Tuesday evenings said the union would not cooperate

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>with the League to manage deadlines and costs on its

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>projects under mister McBurney, appointed to his new role as

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 1>head of umpiring in April, was given the boot in

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>New South Waleses disruption to Sydney's light rail network for

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours on Wednesday could soon extend to the

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>city trains and buses. The Sectors Union has warned. The

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>light rail shutdown comes after a breakdown in negotiations between

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the rail trim and Bus union and light rail operator Trensdev,

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>in which the union demanding a twenty three percent pay

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>rise over four years and an extra five six days

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:23.199
<v Speaker 1>for tram staff each year. The strike will effect thousands

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 1>of commuters who normally use the three light rail lines,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>with an average of more than one hundred and twenty

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>five thousand trips taken each weekday in April on the trams.

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>We're back after this. Taxes on Queenslanders will help plug

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the state's revenue hole as the golden era of coal

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>royalties comes to an end. Treasurer Cameron Dick's controversial royalties

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>increase has helped break in a whopping twenty five billion

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars from coal in the last two years, but his

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>later state budget has revealed this will shrink to a

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>trickle of five billion dollars a year out to mid

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty eight. But the coffers remain healthy amid a

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>spike in taxes and other revenue gleaned from Queenslanders through property,

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>payroll and misbehavior on the roads. There is also an

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>impending crackdown on tax compliance and overdue fines worth nearly

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.359
<v Speaker 1>one billion dollars. And in South Australia, two former Adelaide

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.519
<v Speaker 1>coaches have questioned the team's mentality on the back of

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a string of narrow defeats that has left its season

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>in free fall. Inaugural Crow's coach Graham Korn's called the

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>side struggle to cope with being favorites as a psychological weakness,

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>while dual premiership mentor Malcolm Blynt said some players would

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>be lacking belief they could win tight games. Over the

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>past two years, Adelaide has a nine to one seven

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>record when favored by bookmarkers, and are two to one

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>nine in matches decided by eight points or fewer. The

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Crows's eight point home loss to one win Richmond last

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Thursday left Adelaide in fifteen spot on the ladder, with

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>its finals hopes all but over. And those are your

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>headlines from the newsfeed. We'll be back with another update

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>for you tomorrow
