00:01:23,014 --> 00:01:26,014
Speaker 1: believed to have exceeded levels recorded in twenty twenty two,

22
00:01:26,454 --> 00:01:28,694
Speaker 1: but came short of the two thousand and eleven and

23
00:01:28,774 --> 00:01:32,894
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen devastations. Other communities like Ipswich are

24
00:01:32,934 --> 00:01:35,894
Speaker 1: breathing a sigh of relief after the Bremer River came

25
00:01:35,974 --> 00:01:38,894
Speaker 1: shy of its major flood level on Monday night. Around

00:01:38,934 --> 00:01:42,534
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen thousand properties remain without power on Tuesday,

27
00:01:42,694 --> 00:01:45,174
Speaker 1: down from a peak of four hundred and fifty thousand,

28
00:01:45,534 --> 00:01:49,334
Speaker 1: while more than four hundred schools remained closed. It comes

29
00:01:49,374 --> 00:01:53,014
Speaker 1: after Brisbane recorded its highest daily rainfall total in fifty

30
00:01:53,094 --> 00:01:56,494
Speaker 1: years on Monday, reaching almost two hundred and eighty millimeters.

31
00:01:57,174 --> 00:02:00,614
Speaker 1: The Bureau of Meteorology says there's no further significant rain

32
00:02:00,694 --> 00:02:03,974
Speaker 1: forecast for the Gold Coast, Brisbane or Sunshine Coast, but

33
00:02:04,094 --> 00:02:07,174
Speaker 1: the western downs could see thunderstorms bringing up to thirteen

34
00:02:07,214 --> 00:02:11,134
Speaker 1: millimeters of rain. The Bureau of Meteorologies says there's no

35
00:02:11,254 --> 00:02:14,654
Speaker 1: further significant rain forecast for the Gold Coast, Brisbane or

36
00:02:14,694 --> 00:02:18,414
Speaker 1: Sunshine Coast, but the western Downs could see thunderstorms bringing

37
00:02:18,494 --> 00:02:23,494
Speaker 1: up to thirty millimeters of rain. Domestic violence, victim survivors, renters,

38
00:02:23,654 --> 00:02:26,814
Speaker 1: casual workers and at risk groups for the brunt of

39
00:02:26,854 --> 00:02:31,854
Speaker 1: Australia's COVID nineteen pandemic response, while governments at every level

40
00:02:32,094 --> 00:02:36,054
Speaker 1: failed to consider or protect human rights. That's according to

41
00:02:36,094 --> 00:02:39,374
Speaker 1: a Human Rights Commission report released today based on the

42
00:02:39,454 --> 00:02:44,574
Speaker 1: experiences of five thousand Australians affected by border closures, school disruptions,

43
00:02:44,694 --> 00:02:49,934
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates, lockdowns, quarantine and other health restrictions. The report

44
00:02:50,014 --> 00:02:54,214
Speaker 1: detailed a series of traumatic experiences, including a woman forced

45
00:02:54,214 --> 00:02:57,094
Speaker 1: to give birth to her stillborn son alone because her

46
00:02:57,174 --> 00:03:00,414
Speaker 1: husband was refused entry to the hospital and denied any

47
00:03:00,494 --> 00:03:04,014
Speaker 1: chance of holding him. The report drew attention to the

48
00:03:04,094 --> 00:03:08,374
Speaker 1: disproportionate impact restrictions had on families unable to say goodbye

49
00:03:08,414 --> 00:03:11,654
Speaker 1: to their dying loved ones and residents of public housing

50
00:03:11,734 --> 00:03:14,974
Speaker 1: towers subject to a severe lockdown in Melbourne in twenty

51
00:03:15,014 --> 00:03:18,774
Speaker 1: twenty one that extended to those with a disability. First

52
00:03:18,894 --> 00:03:23,974
Speaker 1: Nations Australians and migrant communities who faced barriers accessing services

53
00:03:24,014 --> 00:03:28,174
Speaker 1: or essential information. Human Rights Commissioner Lorraine Finlay says while

54
00:03:28,174 --> 00:03:32,774
Speaker 1: Australia's pandemic response saved lives, it came at a significant cost.

55
00:03:33,534 --> 00:03:36,774
Speaker 1: All governments have been urged to adopt an emergency response

56
00:03:36,854 --> 00:03:41,494
Speaker 1: framework mandating human rights as a priority, currently under development.

57
00:03:42,134 --> 00:03:46,294
Speaker 1: Former Liberal Party staffer Bruce Lohman has changed solicitors months

58
00:03:46,334 --> 00:03:49,374
Speaker 1: before he is expected to stand trial accused of two

59
00:03:49,494 --> 00:03:53,534
Speaker 1: counts of rape. Sydney based lawyer Zalie Burrows says she

60
00:03:53,654 --> 00:03:56,494
Speaker 1: is now acting for Luhreman in the Queensland District Court

61
00:03:56,614 --> 00:03:59,974
Speaker 1: at Toowoomba. Luhreman is accused of raping a woman twice

62
00:04:00,094 --> 00:04:03,494
Speaker 1: during the morning of October tenth, twenty twenty one, after

63
00:04:03,534 --> 00:04:06,214
Speaker 1: they met at a strip club the previous night into Woomba,

64
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:10,254
Speaker 1: west of Brisbane. Sunshine Coast based lawyer Cowen King has

65
00:04:10,254 --> 00:04:13,614
Speaker 1: appeared for Lherman throughout his criminal matter in Queensland, which

66
00:04:13,694 --> 00:04:16,774
Speaker 1: was first mentioned in court in January twenty twenty three.

67
00:04:17,214 --> 00:04:19,654
Speaker 1: He's been committed to stand trial and appeared at a

68
00:04:19,694 --> 00:04:22,814
Speaker 1: mansion into Woomba in January this year, with his barrister

69
00:04:22,894 --> 00:04:26,374
Speaker 1: intending to apply for a judge alone trial. In Queensland.

70
00:04:26,494 --> 00:04:29,374
Speaker 1: The grounds for holding a trial without a jury include

71
00:04:29,454 --> 00:04:32,334
Speaker 1: that the hearings would be lengthy or complex, or both,

72
00:04:32,974 --> 00:04:36,054
Speaker 1: or there has been significant pre trial publicity that may

73
00:04:36,054 --> 00:04:41,734
Speaker 1: affect jury deliberations. Burroughs previously represented Luhreman in Hobart Magistrates

74
00:04:41,774 --> 00:04:44,494
Speaker 1: Court in Tasmania for the mention of his charge of

75
00:04:44,574 --> 00:04:47,454
Speaker 1: motor vehicle stealing after it was alleged that the twenty

76
00:04:47,534 --> 00:04:50,334

00:04:50,854 --> 00:04:53,574

00:04:53,614 --> 00:04:56,934
Speaker 1: Lorman's appeal after losing a defamation case he brought against

79
00:04:57,014 --> 00:05:00,134
Speaker 1: Network ten. Lohreman's to Woma case is due for a

80
00:05:00,174 --> 00:05:04,374
Speaker 1: pre trial directions hearing on March twenty seven. A US

81
00:05:04,494 --> 00:05:08,094
Speaker 1: jury has completely rejected a man's claim that Disney's Mawana

82
00:05:08,214 --> 00:05:11,654
Speaker 1: was stolen from his store of a Young Surfer in Hawaii.

83
00:05:11,934 --> 00:05:15,094
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Federal drury deliberated for just two and

84
00:05:15,094 --> 00:05:18,494
Speaker 1: a half hours before deciding that the creators of Mowana

85
00:05:18,574 --> 00:05:22,294
Speaker 1: never had access to writer and animator buck Woodhull's outlines

86
00:05:22,334 --> 00:05:25,334
Speaker 1: and script for Bucky the Surfer Boy. The jury of

87
00:05:25,414 --> 00:05:27,934
Speaker 1: six women and two men didn't even have to consider

88
00:05:27,974 --> 00:05:31,574
Speaker 1: the similarities between Bucky and Disney's two thousand and sixteen

89
00:05:31,654 --> 00:05:35,614
Speaker 1: hit animated film about a Polynesian princess. Woodle had shared

90
00:05:35,654 --> 00:05:37,894
Speaker 1: his work with a distant relative who worked for a

91
00:05:37,934 --> 00:05:41,094
Speaker 1: different company on the Disney lot, but the woman testified

92
00:05:41,134 --> 00:05:43,334
Speaker 1: during the two week trial that she never showed it

93
00:05:43,374 --> 00:05:46,574
Speaker 1: to anyone at Disney. Woodle's lawyer said a long chain

94
00:05:46,614 --> 00:05:50,654
Speaker 1: of circumstantial evidence showed the two works were inseparable, but

95
00:05:50,894 --> 00:05:54,814
Speaker 1: the defense argued the evidence showed overwhelmingly that Moana was

96
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:57,774
Speaker 1: clearly the creation of the forty year career of John

97
00:05:57,854 --> 00:06:01,574
Speaker 1: Musker and Ron Clements, the writers and directors behind The

98
00:06:01,574 --> 00:06:05,614
Speaker 1: Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules and the Princess and the Frog.

99
00:06:06,374 --> 00:06:09,774
Speaker 1: That's your latest news headlines on tomorrow's episode of The Quickie.

Speaker 1: Behind Harrod's luxurious Facade, hundreds of women say a dark

101
00:06:14,014 --> 00:06:17,734
Speaker 1: secret was hiding in plain sight. We investigate the disturbing

102
