00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:15,934
Speaker 1: You're listing to a Mummamea podcast. Mummameer acknowledges the traditional

2
00:00:15,934 --> 00:00:21,294
Speaker 1: owners of land and waters that this podcast is recorded on. Hi.

3
00:00:21,374 --> 00:00:24,814
Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Madigan from Mummamea's twice daily news podcast, The

4
00:00:24,894 --> 00:00:29,934
Speaker 1: Quickie with Your Headlines. For Tuesday, April fifteen, five years

5
00:00:29,974 --> 00:00:33,454
Speaker 1: after Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and jailed, the

6
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:36,134
Speaker 1: former movie mogul is returning to court for a new

7
00:00:36,174 --> 00:00:40,094
Speaker 1: trial covering those same allegations plus one that hasn't been

8
00:00:40,174 --> 00:00:43,174
Speaker 1: tried yet. The trial comes a year after a New

9
00:00:43,254 --> 00:00:47,334
Speaker 1: York appeals court overturned the landmark me too verdict The

10
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:51,054
Speaker 1: State's Court of Appeal throughout Weinstein's conviction and twenty three

11
00:00:51,134 --> 00:00:54,494
Speaker 1: year prison sentence, and ordered a new trial after finding

12
00:00:54,534 --> 00:00:58,174
Speaker 1: the original one was tilted by egregious judicial rulings and

13
00:00:58,294 --> 00:01:03,214
Speaker 1: prejudicial testimony. Jury selection starts Tuesday, with opening statements and

14
00:01:03,294 --> 00:01:07,294
Speaker 1: testimony expected next week. The seventy three year old faces

15
00:01:07,414 --> 00:01:11,094
Speaker 1: charges involving two women from his original trial in twenty twenty.

16
00:01:11,334 --> 00:01:13,814
Speaker 1: He's also being tried for the first time on an

17
00:01:13,854 --> 00:01:16,534
Speaker 1: allegation from a woman who wasn't in the first case.

18
00:01:16,894 --> 00:01:20,294
Speaker 1: Weinstein has pleaded not guilty and denies that he raped

19
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:25,694
Speaker 1: or sexually assaulted anyone. A Labor majority is becoming increasingly

20
00:01:25,854 --> 00:01:28,014
Speaker 1: likely as the Prime Minister declares he's in for the

21
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:33,094
Speaker 1: long haul, but many voters remain undecided. Recent polls show

22
00:01:33,174 --> 00:01:36,774
Speaker 1: Labour gaining momentum, widening the two party preferred gap and

23
00:01:36,814 --> 00:01:40,774
Speaker 1: putting majority government in reach. As the coalition campaign falters,

24
00:01:41,774 --> 00:01:45,374
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi insists his team aren't getting ahead

25
00:01:45,374 --> 00:01:48,014
Speaker 1: of themselves. With the May three elections set to come

26
00:01:48,054 --> 00:01:52,054
Speaker 1: down to the wire. Opposition leader Peter Dutton has positioned

27
00:01:52,094 --> 00:01:55,214
Speaker 1: himself as the underdog, but experts say it's not too

28
00:01:55,334 --> 00:01:58,494
Speaker 1: late to turn dire poles around. With some forty percent

29
00:01:58,534 --> 00:02:02,854
Speaker 1: of Australians remaining undecided, the third week of the campaign

30
00:02:02,934 --> 00:02:05,774
Speaker 1: has so far been centered on housing and cost of living.

31
00:02:06,334 --> 00:02:08,694
Speaker 1: Labour has vowed to help people get into the market

32
00:02:08,734 --> 00:02:11,494
Speaker 1: by allowing them to secure mortgage with only a five

33
00:02:11,534 --> 00:02:15,534
Speaker 1: percent deposit, with the government guaranteeing the extra fifteen percent,

34
00:02:16,374 --> 00:02:19,654
Speaker 1: while the Coalition is offering tax deductible mortgage payments for

35
00:02:19,734 --> 00:02:23,774
Speaker 1: new builds. Neither are popular with economists, though, who say

36
00:02:23,774 --> 00:02:27,174
Speaker 1: the policies will only boost demand and drive up housing

37
00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:31,814
Speaker 1: prices as supply fails to keep up. Meta CEO Mark

38
00:02:31,894 --> 00:02:34,494
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg has taken to the witness stand on the first

39
00:02:34,534 --> 00:02:37,894
Speaker 1: day of a historic antitrust trial to defend his company

40
00:02:38,134 --> 00:02:42,494
Speaker 1: against allegations it illegally monopolized the social media market. The

41
00:02:42,574 --> 00:02:45,494
Speaker 1: trial could force the tech giant to break off Instagram

42
00:02:45,534 --> 00:02:48,854
Speaker 1: and WhatsApp startups Meta bought more than a decade ago

43
00:02:49,054 --> 00:02:53,374
Speaker 1: that have since grown into social media powerhouses. The lawsuit

44
00:02:53,454 --> 00:02:56,934
Speaker 1: was filed against Meta, then called Facebook, in twenty twenty,

45
00:02:57,174 --> 00:03:00,894
Speaker 1: during Trump's first term. It claims the company bought Instagram

46
00:03:00,894 --> 00:03:04,214
Speaker 1: and WhatsApp to quash competition and establish an a legal

47
00:03:04,214 --> 00:03:08,214
Speaker 1: monopoly in the social media market. Facebook also enacted policies

48
00:03:08,254 --> 00:03:10,974
Speaker 1: designed to make it difficult for small rivals to enter

49
00:03:11,014 --> 00:03:15,054
Speaker 1: the market. The lawsuit claims Facebook bought Instagram, then a

50
00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:17,934
Speaker 1: small photo sharing app with no ads and a small

51
00:03:17,934 --> 00:03:21,294
Speaker 1: cult following in twenty twelve. It was the first company

52
00:03:21,294 --> 00:03:24,814
Speaker 1: Facebook bought and kept running as a separate app. The

53
00:03:24,814 --> 00:03:28,294
Speaker 1: Princess of Wales has described how she experiences a very

54
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:32,974
Speaker 1: spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection when spending time in nature,

55
00:03:33,294 --> 00:03:36,254
Speaker 1: giving her a sense of peace in a very busy world.

56
00:03:36,654 --> 00:03:39,574
Speaker 1: Kensington Palace has released a new video of the Princess

57
00:03:39,574 --> 00:03:42,294
Speaker 1: of Wales. In the video, Kate is seen walking near

58
00:03:42,334 --> 00:03:45,014
Speaker 1: the shores of Lake Windermere in the Lake District last

59
00:03:45,054 --> 00:03:48,614
Speaker 1: month with a group of Scouts from Greater Manchester. The

60
00:03:48,654 --> 00:03:52,334
Speaker 1: Princess was filmed in conversation with Chief Scout Dwayne Fields

61
00:03:52,574 --> 00:03:54,734
Speaker 1: as she tells him how the outdoors has become her

62
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:58,374
Speaker 1: place of balance. Kate, who is in remission from cancer,

63
00:03:58,734 --> 00:04:01,614
Speaker 1: has long advocated the benefits of spending time in the

64
00:04:01,694 --> 00:04:06,134
Speaker 1: natural world, previously revealing how nature became her family's sanctuary

65
00:04:06,374 --> 00:04:10,054
Speaker 1: in the wake of her diagnosis and during her chemotherapy treatment.

66
00:04:10,934 --> 00:04:14,334
Speaker 1: That's your latest news headlines. On tomorrow's episode of The Quickie,

67
00:04:14,534 --> 00:04:17,334
Speaker 1: Katie Perry has made history as part of the first

68
00:04:17,374 --> 00:04:20,134
Speaker 1: all female crew to head to space on a commercial flight.

69
00:04:20,654 --> 00:04:23,774
Speaker 1: But will we be packing our bags anytime soon? Listen

00:04:23,774 --> 00:04:26,014
