0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is Gabriella Power with Your News. Twenty four update.

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Federal ministers have begun to condemn the ABC for letting

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a video depicting violence against Gina Reinhart go to air

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.159
<v Speaker 1>an internal on Budsman is questioning the race around the

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>World satirical video, but there's no timeline for the review's outcome.

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Acting Prime Minister Richard Miles says he's surprised the video

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>has not been removed from online assistance. Defense Minister Peter

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Khalil also expressing outrage, drawing on his own media experience

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>and calling the ABC's lack of accountability for the video unacceptable.

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Gena Reinhart is threatening the ABC with legal action and

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>is calling on the public broadcaster to remove the video

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and apologize. The comedian involved in the skit has apologized,

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>but the broadcaster itself is yet to. One Nation is

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>poised to launch a new branch in Western Australia as

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>part of its plans to push Liberal MP Andrew Hasty

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>out of his seat. The party's state leader, Rod Caddy's

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>has told The Australian the party will unveil its Canning

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>branch this weekend. It coincides with the party's campaign for

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the Secret Harbor seat, which is also within mister Hasty's electorate.

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>One Nation's leader, Pauline Hanson has pledged to target mister

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Hasty's seat following his decision to testify against Ben Roberts Smith,

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>The Shadow Minister appeared unfazed by the threat. A thirty

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>million dollar federal program to help long term unemployed people

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>gain employment has only placed fifty five people into jobs

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>in almost two years. The Real Job's Real Wages Scheme

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was announced in twenty twenty four and offered employers fifteen

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars to hire eligible employees deemed at risk of

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>long term unemployment. The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>admitted to a Senate estimates question that the program had

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>only placed fears fifty five people into work since the

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>pilot program began in July twenty twenty five. That equates

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to around one hundred and ninety five thousand dollars per

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>person placed in employment over three years of the scheme.

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Quantus is in discussions to outsource up to one thousand

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>positions to India as part of a deal with Assenture.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.240

<v Speaker 1>and overhauling operations using AI by outsourcing part of the

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>airline's back office operations. A decision on whether to proceed

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>with the project, as well as how many jobs will

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>be cut, is likely to be made later this year.

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>A Quantus spokesperson told The Financial Review that the airline

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 1>is looking at ways to accelerate the use of technology

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and AI to help modernize the way the company works.

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>It's been revealed two people killed at a Japanese shopping

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>center during last week's earthquake were ordered back into the

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>building to secure cab The company concedes instructions given at

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the time were inappropriate and have apologized for the worker deaths.

<v Speaker 1>Representatives for the company's say they are considering options on

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.200

<v Speaker 1>death toll from the six point eight earthquake stands at

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight. Donald Trump has criticized oil companies for making

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>profits during a global energy crisis. He has specifically called

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>out Chevron and Exon for their windfall profits, calling on

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>them to cut consumer prices. The US president has also

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.920
