1
00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:15,295
Speaker 1: You're listening to Amoma mea podcast. Good afternoon from gadagaul Land.

2
00:00:15,375 --> 00:00:18,294
Speaker 1: I'm Tolly Blackman with the latest from the Quickie newsroom

3
00:00:18,415 --> 00:00:22,655
Speaker 1: for Thursday, January twenty two. The Nationals have officially split

4
00:00:22,735 --> 00:00:25,735
Speaker 1: from the coalition, with Leader David little Proud saying the

5
00:00:25,815 --> 00:00:30,255
Speaker 1: partnership has become untenable under Liberal leader Susan Lee. Our

6
00:00:30,295 --> 00:00:32,015
Speaker 1: party room has made it very clear we cannot be

7
00:00:32,095 --> 00:00:37,335
Speaker 1: part of a shadow ministry under Susan Lee. Not it's done.

8
00:00:37,854 --> 00:00:39,734
Speaker 1: I spoke to Susan Lee about half an hour ago.

9
00:00:39,775 --> 00:00:42,655
Speaker 1: It might have fully aware. The break follows the dismissal

10
00:00:42,735 --> 00:00:45,854
Speaker 1: of three Nationals front benches who crossed the floor to

11
00:00:45,894 --> 00:00:49,374
Speaker 1: oppose the government's new hate laws. Little Proud said the

12
00:00:49,375 --> 00:00:53,054
Speaker 1: party could not stand by while its senators were made scapegoats,

13
00:00:53,095 --> 00:00:55,415
Speaker 1: and that none of his MPs would serve in a

14
00:00:55,455 --> 00:01:00,094
Speaker 1: shadow ministry led by Lee. Deputy Leader Kevin Hogan defended

15
00:01:00,095 --> 00:01:03,815
Speaker 1: the decision, saying the Nationals were following principles and standing

16
00:01:03,855 --> 00:01:07,494
Speaker 1: by their colleagues. Little Proud added that the coalition could

17
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:10,735
Speaker 1: have avoided the crisis with more debate and scrutiny of

18
00:01:10,775 --> 00:01:14,375
Speaker 1: the legislation, but the process was rushed, leaving the party

19
00:01:14,415 --> 00:01:19,215
Speaker 1: with no alternative. The Nationals are now sitting independently, though

20
00:01:19,255 --> 00:01:22,575
Speaker 1: Little Proud did not rule out a future coalition, saying

21
00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:26,015
Speaker 1: it must be based on respect and shared values. The

22
00:01:26,055 --> 00:01:29,575
Speaker 1: split comes as Australia observes a national day of mourning

23
00:01:29,615 --> 00:01:33,575
Speaker 1: for victims of the Bondai Beach terror attack. US President

24
00:01:33,575 --> 00:01:36,375
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says he has agreed on a framework of

25
00:01:36,415 --> 00:01:40,695
Speaker 1: a future deal regarding Greenland after talks with NATO's Secretary

26
00:01:40,775 --> 00:01:45,335
Speaker 1: General Mark Rutter in Switzerland. Trump announced the development on

27
00:01:45,415 --> 00:01:49,815
Speaker 1: truth social also confirming that threatened tariffs on European nations

28
00:01:49,815 --> 00:01:53,895
Speaker 1: sending troops to Greenland will not go ahead. Trump emphasized

29
00:01:53,975 --> 00:01:57,455
Speaker 1: that the agreement does not involve military force, and acknowledged

30
00:01:57,495 --> 00:02:01,855
Speaker 1: Denmark and Greenland's refusal to give up sovereignty. NATO confirmed

31
00:02:01,935 --> 00:02:05,335
Speaker 1: the announcement, while a spokesperson said future talks will focus

32
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:09,135
Speaker 1: on Arctic security and preventing Russia or China from gaining

33
00:02:09,135 --> 00:02:12,695
Speaker 1: a foothold. Trump made the remarks after a speech at

34
00:02:12,734 --> 00:02:17,015
Speaker 1: the World Economic Forum, where he highlighted Greenland's strategic importance,

35
00:02:17,215 --> 00:02:22,095
Speaker 1: calling negotiations a small ask and criticizing Denmark as ungrateful

36
00:02:22,695 --> 00:02:27,895
Speaker 1: negotiations between the US, Denmark and Greenland will continue covering security,

37
00:02:28,095 --> 00:02:32,655
Speaker 1: mineral rights and strategic cooperation. Gen X has now become

38
00:02:32,735 --> 00:02:36,695
Speaker 1: the generation with the most property wealth in Australia, overtaking

39
00:02:36,735 --> 00:02:40,895
Speaker 1: the Baby Boomers. People born between nineteen sixty five and

40
00:02:41,055 --> 00:02:44,334
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty now own an average of one point four

41
00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:48,255
Speaker 1: five five million dollars in homes and land, slightly more

42
00:02:48,295 --> 00:02:51,335
Speaker 1: than Boomers, who still have more overall wealth because of

43
00:02:51,415 --> 00:02:56,175
Speaker 1: superannuation and lower debts. Millennials aged twenty five to forty

44
00:02:56,175 --> 00:02:59,375
Speaker 1: four hold an average of eight hundred and ninety thousand

45
00:02:59,455 --> 00:03:02,935
Speaker 1: dollars in property wealth, with younger households often burdened by

46
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:08,215
Speaker 1: debt and lower home ownership rates. KPMG economist Terry Rawnsley

47
00:03:08,495 --> 00:03:12,175
Speaker 1: warned that expensive housing could make the gap between generations

48
00:03:12,255 --> 00:03:15,175
Speaker 1: even bigger, and that missing the chance to buy property

49
00:03:15,255 --> 00:03:18,775
Speaker 1: in your twenties or thirties can have long term consequences.

50
00:03:19,455 --> 00:03:22,975
Speaker 1: Only about half of Australian's aged twenty five to thirty

51
00:03:22,975 --> 00:03:26,095
Speaker 1: four owner home, and the typical house price across the

52
00:03:26,135 --> 00:03:30,495
Speaker 1: country is near one million dollars. Programs to help first

53
00:03:30,495 --> 00:03:34,015
Speaker 1: home buyers may ease the pressure, but younger Australians still

54
00:03:34,055 --> 00:03:38,895
Speaker 1: face big challenges entering the property market. Unsealed private texts

55
00:03:38,895 --> 00:03:42,095
Speaker 1: between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were just made public

56
00:03:42,215 --> 00:03:45,455
Speaker 1: and I would simply never recover if this happened to me.

57
00:03:46,175 --> 00:03:49,215
Speaker 1: The texts were published due to the ongoing legal drama

58
00:03:49,335 --> 00:03:53,295
Speaker 1: between Lively and her ends with US CO star Justin Baldoni,

59
00:03:53,535 --> 00:03:57,255
Speaker 1: whom she accused of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear

60
00:03:57,295 --> 00:04:01,335
Speaker 1: campaign against her, claims he strongly denies. But the most

61
00:04:01,495 --> 00:04:04,455
Speaker 1: interesting thing about these messages has nothing to do with

62
00:04:04,575 --> 00:04:08,455
Speaker 1: Baldoni or it ends with us. In the text, Lively

63
00:04:08,535 --> 00:04:11,575
Speaker 1: expresses concerned that she has been a bad friend while

64
00:04:11,615 --> 00:04:15,975
Speaker 1: dealing with personal stress and legal issues. Swift responds by

65
00:04:16,015 --> 00:04:19,335
Speaker 1: saying she felt a shift in their communication and described

66
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:24,255
Speaker 1: feeling emotionally exhausted. She said she missed Lively's usual humor

67
00:04:24,415 --> 00:04:27,575
Speaker 1: and more natural way of speaking, noting that the recent

68
00:04:27,615 --> 00:04:31,534
Speaker 1: messages between them felt distant and overly formal, like a

69
00:04:31,655 --> 00:04:36,255
Speaker 1: mass corporate email sent to two hundred employees. Lively later

70
00:04:36,335 --> 00:04:40,135
Speaker 1: acknowledged the shift, admitting she had become guarded and insecure

71
00:04:40,215 --> 00:04:44,415
Speaker 1: after feeling misunderstood and quietly abandoned by others during her

72
00:04:44,495 --> 00:04:48,734
Speaker 1: legal battle. The exchange ends with Lively apologizing to Swift

73
00:04:48,775 --> 00:04:51,375
Speaker 1: and telling her she was excited for her to finally

74
00:04:51,415 --> 00:04:55,974
Speaker 1: be done with suitcases, constant sinus infections, and torn up kneecaps,

75
00:04:56,175 --> 00:04:59,495
Speaker 1: a message sent just three days before the Errors tour wrapped.

76
00:05:00,015 --> 00:05:03,575
Speaker 1: That's your latest news headlines. On tomorrow's episode of The Quickie,

77
00:05:03,655 --> 00:05:06,455
Speaker 1: we're taking a deep dive into the national split from

78
00:05:06,455 --> 00:05:10,935
Speaker 1: the Coalition and exploring what's next for both parties. Listen

79

80
00:05:21,895 --> 00:05:24,735
Speaker 1: acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters that this

00:05:24,775 --> 00:05:26,055
Speaker 1: podcast is recorded on
