00:00:10,654 --> 00:00:15,294
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mea podcast. Mumma Mea acknowledges

2
00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:18,174
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:23,174
Speaker 1: is recorded on. Hey, I'm Taylorstrano from Muma MEA's twice

4
00:00:23,214 --> 00:00:26,174
Speaker 1: daily news podcast, The Quickie with Your Headlines for Monday,

5
00:00:26,174 --> 00:00:30,414
Speaker 1: October twenty eight. Women working in Australia's tech industry are

6
00:00:30,454 --> 00:00:34,694
Speaker 1: still facing boys clubs and pay discrepancies, despite some improvements

7
00:00:34,694 --> 00:00:38,614
Speaker 1: to employment conditions and workplace culture. According to a new

8
00:00:38,654 --> 00:00:41,374
Speaker 1: study from Women in Digital barrier to entry may be

9
00:00:41,494 --> 00:00:44,534
Speaker 1: the biggest issue for women wishing to enter the tech industry,

10
00:00:44,774 --> 00:00:47,934
Speaker 1: with almost half of all women reporting they'd experienced discrimination

11
00:00:48,094 --> 00:00:52,174
Speaker 1: during job interviews. The revelation comes despite a persistent shortage

12
00:00:52,174 --> 00:00:55,294
Speaker 1: of tech workers in Australia and predictions the industry will

13
00:00:55,294 --> 00:00:58,934
Speaker 1: need an additional three hundred thousand workers by twenty thirty.

14
00:00:59,494 --> 00:01:02,334
Speaker 1: The Women in Digital Discourse study surveyed more than three

15
00:01:02,414 --> 00:01:06,694
Speaker 1: hundred technology workers in fields including finance, infrastructure and mining,

16
00:01:06,854 --> 00:01:10,774
Speaker 1: finding female workers are still facing widespread dis scrimination. More

17
00:01:10,814 --> 00:01:13,334
Speaker 1: than one in three women said their workplace had an

18
00:01:13,454 --> 00:01:16,134
Speaker 1: entrenched boys club, while less than half reported they were

19
00:01:16,174 --> 00:01:19,334
Speaker 1: paid the same as their male peers. However, the survey

20
00:01:19,414 --> 00:01:22,534
Speaker 1: did find improvements across the industry, with half of those

21
00:01:22,574 --> 00:01:25,854
Speaker 1: surveyed able to work from home when needed and workplaces

22
00:01:25,934 --> 00:01:30,374
Speaker 1: offering flexible hours. National Disability Insurance Scheme providers who allow

23
00:01:30,454 --> 00:01:33,334
Speaker 1: participants to be harmed under their watch will face fines

24
00:01:33,374 --> 00:01:36,574
Speaker 1: of more than fifteen million dollars as the government continues

25
00:01:36,614 --> 00:01:39,454
Speaker 1: its mission to weed dodgy operators out of the disability

26
00:01:39,454 --> 00:01:43,734
Speaker 1: support system. Outgoing NDIS Minister Bill Shorten has unveiled Part

27
00:01:43,854 --> 00:01:47,374
Speaker 1: two of the NDIS reforms, following earlier measures to limit

28
00:01:47,414 --> 00:01:51,294
Speaker 1: the scheme's cost ballooning out of control. Providers currently face

29
00:01:51,334 --> 00:01:54,374
Speaker 1: a maximum fine of four hundred thousand dollars when a

30
00:01:54,414 --> 00:01:57,294
Speaker 1: participant is hurt or injured under their care, bringing it

31
00:01:57,334 --> 00:02:00,294
Speaker 1: in line with penalties for harming a worker. The new

32
00:02:00,374 --> 00:02:04,294
Speaker 1: legislation will also allow the NDIS watchdog to refer unscrupulous

33
00:02:04,334 --> 00:02:09,214
Speaker 1: providers for criminal prosecution if, for example, they ignore registration requirements.

34
00:02:09,534 --> 00:02:12,694
Speaker 1: Stronger information gathering powers will also give the commission better

35
00:02:12,734 --> 00:02:16,814
Speaker 1: ability to monitor providers and ensure they're complying with requirements.

36
00:02:17,134 --> 00:02:20,534
Speaker 1: The new measures were recommended by the independent NDIS Review,

37
00:02:20,654 --> 00:02:23,454
Speaker 1: which is called for the watchdog's powers to be strengthened.

38
00:02:23,854 --> 00:02:27,414
Speaker 1: Consultations of the draft legislation will begin immediately, with some

39
00:02:27,534 --> 00:02:30,734
Speaker 1: disability advocates scathing the government for what they saw as

40
00:02:30,774 --> 00:02:34,974
Speaker 1: inadequate consultation during the first stage of the NDIS reforms.

41
00:02:35,294 --> 00:02:38,094
Speaker 1: Oil and Gastine Santos is in court this week for

42
00:02:38,134 --> 00:02:42,054
Speaker 1: allegedly misleading the public on international climate change goals. A

43
00:02:42,134 --> 00:02:44,374
Speaker 1: court has heard Santos did not have the evidence to

44
00:02:44,374 --> 00:02:47,414
Speaker 1: back up speculative but publicly announced claims that it could

45
00:02:47,414 --> 00:02:51,694
Speaker 1: reach net zero emissions by twenty forty. Advocacy group Australasian

46
00:02:51,774 --> 00:02:55,214
Speaker 1: Center for Corporate Responsibility has accused the company of misleading

47
00:02:55,214 --> 00:02:58,614
Speaker 1: and deceptive conduct in the Federal Court, claiming Santos did

48
00:02:58,614 --> 00:03:00,774
Speaker 1: not have a proper basis for saying it had a

49
00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:04,294
Speaker 1: clear pathway to reduce emissions by twenty six to thirty

50
00:03:04,334 --> 00:03:07,854
Speaker 1: percent by twenty thirty before going completely net zero by

51
00:03:07,934 --> 00:03:12,734
Speaker 1: twenty forty. Which has operations in Australia, Papular, New Guinea,

52
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:15,494
Speaker 1: Team or Leste and the USA, has been accused of

53
00:03:15,614 --> 00:03:18,694
Speaker 1: greenwashing through claims it could help Australia meet the Paris

54
00:03:18,734 --> 00:03:22,374
Speaker 1: target of net zero emissions by twenty forty. As the

55
00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:26,574
Speaker 1: trial continues. The organization is seeking court declarations at Santos

56
00:03:26,574 --> 00:03:31,094
Speaker 1: has engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct, and actor Timothy

57
00:03:31,174 --> 00:03:34,134
Speaker 1: Chalomay has made a surprise appearance at his own lookalike

58
00:03:34,174 --> 00:03:37,334
Speaker 1: contest in New York City, an event that drew hundreds

59
00:03:37,374 --> 00:03:41,574
Speaker 1: of onlookers. Flanked by bodyguards, Chalomey briefly posed for photos

60
00:03:41,574 --> 00:03:44,534
Speaker 1: with his high cheeked, curly haired doppelgangers, some of whom

61
00:03:44,534 --> 00:03:48,014
Speaker 1: addressed as the actor's characters in Wonka and the June movies,

62
00:03:48,454 --> 00:03:51,174
Speaker 1: but as the one of the Chalomats began strutting along

63
00:03:51,214 --> 00:03:54,054
Speaker 1: the red carpet in Washington Square Park, police ordered the

64
00:03:54,134 --> 00:03:57,174
Speaker 1: large group to disperse, slapping the organizers with a nearly

65
00:03:57,214 --> 00:04:00,774
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollar fine for an unpermitted costume contest, with

66
00:04:00,814 --> 00:04:05,054
Speaker 1: at least one contestant taken away in handcuffs. Organizers had

67
00:04:05,094 --> 00:04:09,014
Speaker 1: posted flyers for the contest, promising a fifty US dollar prize,

68
00:04:09,094 --> 00:04:11,734
Speaker 1: with twenty one year old Miles Mitchell taking home the

69
00:04:11,814 --> 00:04:15,454
Speaker 1: top gong. That's your latest news headlines. On tomorrow's episode
