0:00:06.355 --> 0:00:09.035
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast.

0:00:12.855 --> 0:00:15.375
<v Speaker 2>Hi, I'm Tamsin Rose with the latest from the Quickie

0:00:15.425 --> 0:00:20.325
<v Speaker 2>Newsroom on Tuesday, September 1st. One of the biggest unsolved

0:00:20.364 --> 0:00:24.165
<v Speaker 2>mysteries in music history has been closed, with a jury

0:00:24.265 --> 0:00:27.875
<v Speaker 2>in Las Vegas finding a man guilty over the 1996

0:00:27.875 --> 0:00:30.515
<v Speaker 2>killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur.

0:00:31.055 --> 0:00:32.934
<v Speaker 1>We, the jury in the above entitled case, find the

0:00:32.955 --> 0:00:35.905
<v Speaker 1>defendant Dwayne Keith Davis guilty as follows, count one, murder

0:00:35.925 --> 0:00:38.565
<v Speaker 1>with use of a deadly weapon, guilty of first-degree murder

0:00:38.585 --> 0:00:40.985
<v Speaker 1>with use of a deadly weapon, dated this 31st date

0:00:41.385 --> 0:00:44.665
<v Speaker 1>of August 2026. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is

0:00:44.684 --> 0:00:46.725
<v Speaker 1>this your verdict as read, so say you won, so

0:00:46.745 --> 0:00:48.485
<v Speaker 1>say you will? Yes.

0:00:49.154 --> 0:00:52.575
<v Speaker 2>Tupac was one of the best-selling and most influential musicians

0:00:52.714 --> 0:00:57.075
<v Speaker 2>of all time, selling more than 75 million records worldwide.

0:00:57.995 --> 0:01:00.234
<v Speaker 2>He was shot in Las Vegas in September 1996 and

0:01:01.645 --> 0:01:03.885
<v Speaker 2>and died six days later at the age of 25.

0:01:03.885 --> 0:01:08.645
<v Speaker 2>Nobody was charged over his death for almost 30 years.

0:01:09.465 --> 0:01:14.025
<v Speaker 2>That changed when Dwan Keefe D. Davis, who is now 63,

0:01:14.025 --> 0:01:16.804
<v Speaker 2>began publicly claiming that he was in the car the

0:01:16.865 --> 0:01:20.015
<v Speaker 2>shots were fired from and had handed over the gun.

0:01:20.685 --> 0:01:24.015
<v Speaker 2>Prosecutors said he organized the attack in revenge after Shakur's

0:01:24.095 --> 0:01:28.185
<v Speaker 2>entourage beat up his nephew hours earlier. which is enough

0:01:28.245 --> 0:01:31.225
<v Speaker 2>for a murder conviction under the Nevada law, even though

0:01:31.285 --> 0:01:34.265
<v Speaker 2>he didn't pull the trigger. His defense argued there was

0:01:34.345 --> 0:01:37.865
<v Speaker 2>no physical evidence placing him at the scene, but jurors

0:01:37.905 --> 0:01:41.585
<v Speaker 2>have disagreed, convicting him after just three hours of deliberation.

0:01:42.265 --> 0:01:45.305
<v Speaker 2>Davis now faces up to life in prison when he's sentenced,

0:01:45.405 --> 0:01:48.995
<v Speaker 2>which will happen at a later date. The number of

0:01:49.055 --> 0:01:52.475
<v Speaker 2>new homes being approved has fallen as property prices in

0:01:52.615 --> 0:01:55.795
<v Speaker 2>almost all capital cities declined for the fifth month in

0:01:55.835 --> 0:01:59.225
<v Speaker 2>a row. Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics on

0:01:59.325 --> 0:02:04.225
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday revealed total dwelling approvals fell by 3.6% in July.

0:02:04.245 --> 0:02:07.685
<v Speaker 2>A fall in approvals would make the federal government's housing

0:02:07.725 --> 0:02:11.244
<v Speaker 2>targets more difficult to achieve. The government has set a

0:02:11.264 --> 0:02:16.245
<v Speaker 2>target of 1.2 million new homes built by June 2029,

0:02:16.245 --> 0:02:19.925
<v Speaker 2>but it's currently behind schedule. It comes as data from

0:02:19.985 --> 0:02:23.685
<v Speaker 2>property data firm Cotality shows national home values dropped 0.9%

0:02:23.685 --> 0:02:30.225
<v Speaker 2>in August, the fifth consecutive monthly decline. More than 90%

0:02:30.225 --> 0:02:34.245
<v Speaker 2>of suburbs recorded a fall in value. The Middle East conflict,

0:02:34.485 --> 0:02:37.905
<v Speaker 2>interest rate rises and federal changes to capital gains tax

0:02:37.965 --> 0:02:43.155
<v Speaker 2>and negative gearing have all contributed to cooling demand. Artificial

0:02:43.195 --> 0:02:46.175
<v Speaker 2>intelligence could be the ticket out of stunted economic growth

0:02:46.535 --> 0:02:50.495
<v Speaker 2>while risking the future of increasingly high-skilled jobs, according to

0:02:50.555 --> 0:02:54.115
<v Speaker 2>Treasury advice. In a brief handed to the Federal Treasurer,

0:02:54.205 --> 0:02:57.565
<v Speaker 2>Jim Chalmers, AI has been characterised as a tool which

0:02:57.625 --> 0:03:01.325
<v Speaker 2>could provide significant productivity gains across the public and private

0:03:01.365 --> 0:03:05.445
<v Speaker 2>sector to the tune of 1.2% by the year 2030.

0:03:05.445 --> 0:03:08.975
<v Speaker 2>It's a prediction made against the backdrop of declining labour

0:03:09.055 --> 0:03:13.614
<v Speaker 2>and productivity in recent years. Productivity estimates vary wildly, with

0:03:13.695 --> 0:03:17.515
<v Speaker 2>Treasury noting the significant uncertainty over the extent of positive

0:03:17.595 --> 0:03:22.605
<v Speaker 2>impacts from AI, which could take decades to materialise. Child

0:03:22.625 --> 0:03:26.105
<v Speaker 2>safety in the childcare sector is under scrutiny nationally and

0:03:26.145 --> 0:03:29.454
<v Speaker 2>a new fight over transparency in Victoria shows just how

0:03:29.515 --> 0:03:32.735
<v Speaker 2>hard it can be to get answers. For 18 months,

0:03:32.815 --> 0:03:36.175
<v Speaker 2>Victoria sat on a Freedom of Information request seeking which

0:03:36.315 --> 0:03:40.005
<v Speaker 2>childcare providers recorded the most serious safety incidents in 2024

0:03:40.005 --> 0:03:45.745
<v Speaker 2>and including injuries, missing children and emergency call-outs. When the

0:03:45.785 --> 0:03:49.535
<v Speaker 2>data finally arrived, every provider's name had been redacted, with

0:03:49.635 --> 0:03:54.495
<v Speaker 2>authorities citing damage to business reputations. After further pushback, authorities

0:03:54.555 --> 0:03:57.335
<v Speaker 2>released a partial list showing the 10 providers with the

0:03:57.495 --> 0:04:01.905
<v Speaker 2>highest recorded incidents. Several providers said the numbers actually reflect

0:04:01.985 --> 0:04:05.365
<v Speaker 2>a strong reporting culture, pointing to common causes like falls

0:04:05.405 --> 0:04:10.775
<v Speaker 2>during outdoor play rather than serious safety failures. And he's

0:04:10.835 --> 0:04:15.375
<v Speaker 2>been widely considered the greatest footballer of his generation. And

0:04:15.435 --> 0:04:19.535
<v Speaker 2>now he's calling time on his international career. Lionel Messi

0:04:19.594 --> 0:04:22.885
<v Speaker 2>has announced his retirement from playing for Argentina at the

0:04:23.045 --> 0:04:26.985
<v Speaker 2>age of 39. He's bowing out after captaining his country

0:04:27.065 --> 0:04:30.345
<v Speaker 2>to the World Cup final earlier this year, a heartbreaking

0:04:30.365 --> 0:04:35.005
<v Speaker 2>1-0 loss to Spain. It caps off an extraordinary run.

0:04:35.005 --> 0:04:42.385
<v Speaker 2>207 appearances, 125 goals. and that unforgettable 2022 World Cup

0:04:42.405 --> 0:04:45.205
<v Speaker 2>win in Qatar, the one that finally gave him the

0:04:45.265 --> 0:04:49.445
<v Speaker 2>trophy so many felt he deserved. Announcing the news, Messi

0:04:49.505 --> 0:04:52.525
<v Speaker 2>said it was time to let the next generation take over.

0:04:53.325 --> 0:04:55.245
