1
00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:15,254
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mumma Mea acknowledges

2
00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:18,134
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:22,534
Speaker 1: is recorded on. Hi. I'm Claire Murphy from Mummamea's twice

4
00:00:22,614 --> 00:00:25,094
Speaker 1: daily news podcast, The Quiki with your Evening Headlines. So

5
00:00:25,134 --> 00:00:28,334
Speaker 1: Friday March twenty one, a Queensland man has been charged

6
00:00:28,334 --> 00:00:31,494
Speaker 1: for allegedly helping smuggle one of the suspected master minds

7
00:00:31,534 --> 00:00:34,774
Speaker 1: behind the Dural explosive caravan hoax out of the country.

8
00:00:35,134 --> 00:00:37,774
Speaker 1: Police alleged that fifty seven year old Sean Ryan and

9
00:00:37,854 --> 00:00:40,734
Speaker 1: another man crewed a boat that picked up sayat irhan

10
00:00:40,814 --> 00:00:43,334
Speaker 1: Aka off the coast of Far North Queensland in twenty

11
00:00:43,374 --> 00:00:46,814
Speaker 1: twenty three, allegedly helping him flee Australia while he was

12
00:00:46,854 --> 00:00:50,534
Speaker 1: awaiting trial over drug importation chargers. The three men then

13
00:00:50,574 --> 00:00:53,214
Speaker 1: allegedly sailed from Thursday Island in the Torres Strait to

14
00:00:53,294 --> 00:00:56,774
Speaker 1: Pouquet in Thailand. Mister Akka is believed to be behind

15
00:00:56,814 --> 00:00:59,734
Speaker 1: the plot to divert police attention away from other criminal

16
00:00:59,814 --> 00:01:03,294
Speaker 1: activity by planting a caravan full of explosives and a

17
00:01:03,374 --> 00:01:06,414
Speaker 1: note referencing the Great Jewish Synagogue in the Outer Sydney

18
00:01:06,414 --> 00:01:09,894
Speaker 1: suburbs of dural using the rise in anti semitism over

19
00:01:09,894 --> 00:01:12,014
Speaker 1: the war in Gaza as a way to take up

20
00:01:12,054 --> 00:01:17,054
Speaker 1: police time and resources. Australia's largest supermarkets have little incentive

21
00:01:17,134 --> 00:01:20,574
Speaker 1: to be competitive on pricing due to their large market share,

22
00:01:20,734 --> 00:01:23,934
Speaker 1: according to the nation's competition watchdog, the A Triple C

23
00:01:24,134 --> 00:01:27,694
Speaker 1: released its final report into supermarkets today, finding the big

24
00:01:27,774 --> 00:01:32,214
Speaker 1: three supermarkets faced little competition and had increased average product

25
00:01:32,254 --> 00:01:35,254
Speaker 1: margins over the past five years, but stopped short of

26
00:01:35,334 --> 00:01:39,094
Speaker 1: outright accusing them of price gouging. Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers

27
00:01:39,134 --> 00:01:42,614
Speaker 1: says the government accepts all twenty recommendations from the report

28
00:01:42,614 --> 00:01:46,174
Speaker 1: in principle and were already taking substantial steps in most

29
00:01:46,214 --> 00:01:50,054
Speaker 1: areas already, but some would take long lead times and consultation,

30
00:01:50,294 --> 00:01:52,694
Speaker 1: meaning it might be a while before consumers notice the

31
00:01:52,734 --> 00:01:55,814
Speaker 1: difference at the checkout. Part of the government's response will

32
00:01:55,814 --> 00:01:58,574
Speaker 1: be two point nine million dollars included in the upcoming

33
00:01:58,574 --> 00:02:01,774
Speaker 1: budget to help suppliers learn how to better negotiate with

34
00:02:01,854 --> 00:02:04,654
Speaker 1: the big chain supermarkets and stand up to the power

35
00:02:04,694 --> 00:02:09,174
Speaker 1: they hold. The unsettling cases of conduct occurring inside Australian

36
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:12,414
Speaker 1: daycare centers revealed by the ABC has led to a

37
00:02:12,454 --> 00:02:16,054
Speaker 1: parliamentary inquiry in New South Wales. The Four Corners report

38
00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:19,974
Speaker 1: exposed alleged child sexual abuse being ignored by regulators and

39
00:02:20,054 --> 00:02:24,614
Speaker 1: service providers who are prioritizing profit over children's care. Up

40
00:02:24,614 --> 00:02:27,374
Speaker 1: to four hundred and seventy thousand children are attending for

41
00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:31,454
Speaker 1: profit facilities that are failing to meet national standards. Almost

42
00:02:31,534 --> 00:02:34,894
Speaker 1: three and four centers are privately owned, contributing to soaring

43
00:02:34,934 --> 00:02:38,574
Speaker 1: fees and shortages in rural and lower income areas, despite

44
00:02:38,614 --> 00:02:42,774
Speaker 1: the government providing billions in subsidies. Green's MP Abigail Boyd

45
00:02:42,774 --> 00:02:44,974
Speaker 1: will chair the committee that will look into the failures

46
00:02:44,974 --> 00:02:48,054
Speaker 1: of the early childhood education and care sector. Miss Boyd

47
00:02:48,134 --> 00:02:50,494
Speaker 1: saying dropping your child off at an early learning center

48
00:02:50,494 --> 00:02:53,134
Speaker 1: in the morning is an enormous act of trust, but

49
00:02:53,214 --> 00:02:55,334
Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be a blind leap of faith.

50
00:02:55,614 --> 00:02:58,334
Speaker 1: She went on to say that families deserve transparency and

51
00:02:58,414 --> 00:03:02,174
Speaker 1: accountability and that's what a parliamentary investigation can help deliver.

52
00:03:02,734 --> 00:03:05,494
Speaker 1: A judge in the US has stopped Elon Musk's Department

53
00:03:05,574 --> 00:03:08,494
Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency from accessing any more data from the

54
00:03:08,534 --> 00:03:13,174
Speaker 1: Social Security Administration. The judge says the Department likely violated

55
00:03:13,214 --> 00:03:17,094
Speaker 1: privacy laws by allowing Musk's AIDS unbridled access to the

56
00:03:17,174 --> 00:03:20,734
Speaker 1: data of millions of Americans. Judge Hollander says rooting out

57
00:03:20,774 --> 00:03:24,414
Speaker 1: possible fraud, waste, and mismanagement in the SSA is in

58
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:27,294
Speaker 1: the public interest, but that doesn't mean the government can

59
00:03:27,334 --> 00:03:29,974
Speaker 1: flout the laws to do so. The ruling is one

60
00:03:29,974 --> 00:03:33,334
Speaker 1: of the most substantial setbacks for Musk's new department to date,

61
00:03:33,694 --> 00:03:36,694
Speaker 1: coming just two days after a federal judge ruled Musk's

62
00:03:36,694 --> 00:03:40,214
Speaker 1: attempts to shut down the US Agency for International Development,

63
00:03:40,574 --> 00:03:44,494
Speaker 1: or USAID, was likely illegal because Musk is not a

64
00:03:44,534 --> 00:03:48,774
Speaker 1: Senate confirmed Cabinet official. Mariah Carey has won a lawsuit

65
00:03:48,814 --> 00:03:51,494
Speaker 1: that claims her iconic Christmas tune All I Want for

66
00:03:51,574 --> 00:03:55,054
Speaker 1: Christmas Is You, was illegally copied. The judge ruled that

67
00:03:55,094 --> 00:03:57,854
Speaker 1: the writers of the Vince Vance and the Valiant's nineteen

68
00:03:57,854 --> 00:04:00,774
Speaker 1: eighty nine song, also called All I Want for Christmas

69
00:04:00,894 --> 00:04:03,854
Speaker 1: Is You failed to show that their version was objectively

70
00:04:03,894 --> 00:04:07,374
Speaker 1: similar enough to Carries to support their copyright infringement case.

71
00:04:07,774 --> 00:04:11,014
Speaker 1: They claimed Carry's song copied the song's comparison between a

72
00:04:11,014 --> 00:04:14,214
Speaker 1: loved one and the trappings of seasonal luxury, as well

73
00:04:14,214 --> 00:04:19,214
Speaker 1: as other lyrical and musical elements. Take back to tensle Stom,

74
00:04:19,734 --> 00:04:27,694
Speaker 1: then come on Christmass Heavy. They were asking for at

75
00:04:27,774 --> 00:04:30,374
Speaker 1: least twenty million dollars in damages, but they'll now have

76
00:04:30,494 --> 00:04:33,694
Speaker 1: to pay part of Mariah Carey's lawyer's fees. Carry song

77
00:04:33,774 --> 00:04:35,934
Speaker 1: came out in nineteen ninety four and has hit the

78
00:04:35,934 --> 00:04:38,614
Speaker 1: top of the Billboard Hot one hundred chart every November

79
00:04:38,654 --> 00:04:42,214
Speaker 1: December since twenty nineteen, reportedly earning the singer and the

80
00:04:42,254 --> 00:04:45,494
Speaker 1: writers more than sixty million dollars since its first release.

81
00:04:45,814 --> 00:04:48,574
Speaker 1: That's your latest news headlines On Monday's episode of The Quikie.

82
00:04:48,614 --> 00:04:50,694
Speaker 1: We'll be looking into that, a Triple C report on

83
00:04:50,734 --> 00:04:53,854
Speaker 1: the supermarket giants and how that may end up impacting

84
00:04:53,854 --> 00:04:56,494
Speaker 1: your grocery bills. Just listen to The Quikie wherever you
