0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>This is Wendy John with your News. Twenty four update.

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Federal Police have confirmed a dual Russian Australian citizen has

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>been charged by the Counter Foreign Interference Task Force. The

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven year old Victorian resident was arrested in Sumner,

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Queensland yesterday and charged with attempting to engage in intentional

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>foreign interference. Is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>AFP Commissioner chrisy Barrett will provide a public update this

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>afternoon at two pm Canberra time. Australia's Federal Police reportedly

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>spends one tenth of its budget on counter terrorism, less

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 1>than what is outlaid on political protection. In an interim

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>report in April, Royal Commissioner Virginia Bell found the AFP

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>spent one hundred and fifty one point eight million dollars

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>on counter terrorism in twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five.

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Twenty three million dollars of the budget went towards protection

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>costs for politicians and government buildings. It says the cost

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>included security during the federal election, the Aucus Nuclear Submarine

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Partnership and Western Sydney Airport. A record number of participants

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>in the National Disability Insurance Scheme are expected to have

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>their funding cut. It's part of the federal government's plan

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to rain in the program's increasing costs. About forty percent

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>of NDIS participants are expected to have their budgets reduced,

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>according to figures released by Health Minister Mark Butler. Labour's

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 1>new NDIS package aims to reduce the annual growth rate

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>from ten percent to two percent over the next four years.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Former Victorian Premiers Dan Andrews and Jacinta Allen could both

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>be called before a Royal Commission into the state's construction sector.

0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Newly appointed Premier Ben Carrell says nobody is off libtmits

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in terms of who can potentially be summoned to give evidence.

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>The Royal Commission will look into the extent of corruption,

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>criminal conduct or serious misconduct occurred on or in relation

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>to any major public and civil infrastructure projects overseas. Iran

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>has commented on America's financial woes. President Donald Trump declared

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>economic d Day against Tehran after it failed to agree

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to a deal. He posted on truth Social this will

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>be an economic d Day and we need all of

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>our allies to stand with the United States of America

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to isolate and defeat the Iran threat. These maniacs are

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>on the ropes and these historic measures will cripple them

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>and their ability to project terror worldwide. Since then, America's

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>debt has reached a record forty trillion US dollars, which

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>is more than fifty six trillion Australian dollars. Iran's foreign

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>minister responded on x the so called economic d Day

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>is a diversion from America's own crisis, unprecedented debt and

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>surging interest costs. Doubling down on failed policies will only

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 1>bring further defeat an enmity of Iranians. US economic terrorism

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>threatens global economy and sovereignty worldwide. And two fishermen have

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>been rescued after spending five days adrift in the Pacific

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Ocean inside and Eski. Mexican naval authorities say the operation

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>was launched when a fishing cooperative requested assistance in locating

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the fishermen. The men, aged thirty two and fifty three,

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>were located around one hundred and thirty nautical miles off

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the coast of the Mexican state of Sappers. The fishermen

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>were brought to safety and evaluated by naval medical personnel.
