00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:13,735
Speaker 1: You're listening to I'm on a MIA podcast. Hi. I'm

2
00:00:13,775 --> 00:00:16,935
Speaker 1: Tully Blackman with the latest from the Cookie Newsroom for Thursday,

3
00:00:17,055 --> 00:00:21,055
Speaker 1: March twenty six. In a landmark ruling, a US jury

4
00:00:21,095 --> 00:00:23,935
Speaker 1: has ordered Google and Metat to pay four point three

5
00:00:23,935 --> 00:00:27,615
Speaker 1: million dollars after finding them liable for social media addiction.

6
00:00:28,535 --> 00:00:30,815
Speaker 1: The lawsuit was filed by a twenty year old woman

7
00:00:30,895 --> 00:00:34,455
Speaker 1: who argued that the companies intentionally designed their platforms to

8
00:00:34,495 --> 00:00:38,055
Speaker 1: be addictive, which she says harmed her mental health. The

9
00:00:38,135 --> 00:00:40,934
Speaker 1: jury in LA found that the tech companies were negligent

10
00:00:41,055 --> 00:00:44,134
Speaker 1: and failed to adequately warn the public about the potential

11
00:00:44,214 --> 00:00:47,655
Speaker 1: risk their services posed to minors. But Meta has already

12
00:00:47,695 --> 00:00:50,934
Speaker 1: pushed back, saying teen mental health is a complex issue

13
00:00:50,974 --> 00:00:54,015
Speaker 1: that can't be linked to a single app. They plan

14
00:00:54,135 --> 00:00:58,055
Speaker 1: to appeal. Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi has called a second

15
00:00:58,135 --> 00:01:01,095
Speaker 1: emergency meeting with state leaders to try and manage the

16
00:01:01,135 --> 00:01:05,015
Speaker 1: growing fuel crisis caused by the war in Iran. Right now,

17
00:01:05,055 --> 00:01:08,335
Speaker 1: nearly five five hundred service stations across Australia have run

18
00:01:08,375 --> 00:01:11,135
Speaker 1: out of at least one type of fuel, and rising

19
00:01:11,175 --> 00:01:14,095
Speaker 1: costs are starting to hit everything from grocery deliveries to

20
00:01:14,175 --> 00:01:17,975
Speaker 1: rubbish collection. While some are calling for fuel rationing or

21
00:01:18,015 --> 00:01:21,455
Speaker 1: tax cuts to lower prices, the government says those steps

22
00:01:21,495 --> 00:01:24,895
Speaker 1: aren't necessary just yet, and is urging people to stop

23
00:01:25,015 --> 00:01:28,015
Speaker 1: panic buying. The main goal for next week's meeting is

24
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:30,455
Speaker 1: to get all the states on the same page and

25
00:01:30,535 --> 00:01:32,935
Speaker 1: to make sure fuel stocks are moved to the areas

26
00:01:32,975 --> 00:01:37,495
Speaker 1: that need them the most. Australia's medical regulator is planning

27
00:01:37,535 --> 00:01:41,255
Speaker 1: a major shakeup of sunscreen rules after tests revealed many

28
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:45,055
Speaker 1: popular brands weren't actually providing the protection they claimed on

29
00:01:45,095 --> 00:01:48,895
Speaker 1: their labels. The proposed changes could see the familiar SPF

30
00:01:49,055 --> 00:01:54,415
Speaker 1: numbers disappear, replaced by simpler ratings like high or very high,

31
00:01:54,455 --> 00:01:58,135
Speaker 1: to clear up confusion about how much protection you're really getting.

32
00:01:58,735 --> 00:02:02,655
Speaker 1: These reforms aim to tighten lab testing and manufacturing standards,

33
00:02:02,735 --> 00:02:06,095
Speaker 1: a move the TJ says is critical since Australia still

34
00:02:06,175 --> 00:02:10,174
Speaker 1: has the highest skin cancer rates in the world. Hiro

35
00:02:10,375 --> 00:02:12,895
Speaker 1: Ahmed al Ahmed has been awarded a key to the

36
00:02:12,935 --> 00:02:16,575
Speaker 1: city and a lifetime beach parking pass for his incredible

37
00:02:16,615 --> 00:02:20,775
Speaker 1: bravery during the Bondai Beach terror attack last December. The

38
00:02:20,815 --> 00:02:23,735
Speaker 1: forty three year old father went viral after footage showed

39
00:02:23,775 --> 00:02:27,135
Speaker 1: him sneaking up behind a gunman and disarming him, an

40
00:02:27,175 --> 00:02:30,095
Speaker 1: act of courage that likely saved many lives but left

41
00:02:30,175 --> 00:02:33,895
Speaker 1: him with several gunshot wounds and a long recovery. At

42
00:02:33,895 --> 00:02:36,815
