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 --> 00:00:22,374
Speaker 1: is recorded on Hi. I'm Claire Murphy from Mummamea's twice

4
00:00:22,454 --> 00:00:24,974
Speaker 1: daily news podcast, The Quiki with your evening headlines for

5
00:00:25,054 --> 00:00:28,294
Speaker 1: Monday May twelve. Hamas has said the last living American

6
00:00:28,334 --> 00:00:31,374
Speaker 1: hostage being held in Gaza will be released as part

7
00:00:31,374 --> 00:00:34,014
Speaker 1: of efforts to secure a ceasefire in the enclave, while

8
00:00:34,094 --> 00:00:37,494
Speaker 1: also reopening crossings into the territory to resume the delivery

9
00:00:37,494 --> 00:00:40,774
Speaker 1: of aid. Hamas says they will release Eden Alexander, who

10
00:00:40,854 --> 00:00:43,054
Speaker 1: grew up in the US but moved to Israel, where

11
00:00:43,094 --> 00:00:45,894
Speaker 1: he's been serving as a soldier. He was abducted from

12
00:00:45,974 --> 00:00:49,254
Speaker 1: his base during the October seven terror attack, the catalyst

13
00:00:49,294 --> 00:00:51,414
Speaker 1: to the Israeli response, which has now turned into a

14
00:00:51,574 --> 00:00:55,294
Speaker 1: nineteen month war. The announcement comes right before US President

15
00:00:55,334 --> 00:00:57,774
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's plan visit to the Middle East, although this

16
00:00:57,854 --> 00:01:01,694
Speaker 1: trip does not extend to Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes killed

17
00:01:01,694 --> 00:01:04,414
Speaker 1: another fifteen people in the Gaza strip over the weekend,

18
00:01:04,534 --> 00:01:07,614
Speaker 1: mostly women and children. Two of the strikes hitting tents

19
00:01:07,654 --> 00:01:10,494
Speaker 1: in the southern city of carn units. Israel blames her

20
00:01:10,574 --> 00:01:13,294
Speaker 1: mass for all civilian debts in the territory, saying they're

21
00:01:13,294 --> 00:01:17,454
Speaker 1: only targeting militants who hide amongst the population. Israel has

22
00:01:17,494 --> 00:01:20,974
Speaker 1: also sealed Gaza off from all imports, including food, medicine

23
00:01:20,974 --> 00:01:23,854
Speaker 1: and emergency shelter, with nothing able to cross into the

24
00:01:23,854 --> 00:01:27,094
Speaker 1: region for the past ten weeks. An expose by the

25
00:01:27,134 --> 00:01:30,534
Speaker 1: ABC seven thirty report has revealed every parent's worst nightmare

26
00:01:30,774 --> 00:01:32,974
Speaker 1: physical abuse of their children at the hands of the

27
00:01:33,014 --> 00:01:36,054
Speaker 1: workers they've entrusted to care for them. A nine second

28
00:01:36,134 --> 00:01:38,454
Speaker 1: video has been shared showing a crying baby in a

29
00:01:38,494 --> 00:01:41,774
Speaker 1: bouncy chair being repeatedly hit across the mouth and told

30
00:01:41,814 --> 00:01:45,134
Speaker 1: to stop it as the worker smiles and dancers behind them.

31
00:01:45,374 --> 00:01:47,614
Speaker 1: The worker's colleague who took the video shared it with

32
00:01:47,654 --> 00:01:51,814
Speaker 1: a laughing emoji on Snapchat. The ABC report investigates one

33
00:01:51,854 --> 00:01:55,414
Speaker 1: of the country's largest childcare provider's Affinity, who run two

34
00:01:55,494 --> 00:01:58,814
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty centers across Australia. There are concerns that

35
00:01:58,854 --> 00:02:01,774
Speaker 1: these centers are putting profit above child's safety, and that

36
00:02:01,814 --> 00:02:04,814
Speaker 1: there's not enough oversight to ensure correct staffing levels and

37
00:02:04,894 --> 00:02:07,694
Speaker 1: safety measures to protect the vulnerable children in their care.

38
00:02:08,134 --> 00:02:11,094
Speaker 1: The investigation has revealed the child to staff ratios are

39
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:14,654
Speaker 1: regularly breached, supervision of the children is not up to standard,

40
00:02:14,894 --> 00:02:18,014
Speaker 1: and the quality of experience and education amongst childcare workers

41
00:02:18,054 --> 00:02:21,694
Speaker 1: is falling, with trainees cheap and higher and sometimes outnumbering

42
00:02:21,774 --> 00:02:25,174
Speaker 1: experienced staff. Staff who raise concerns say they are either

43
00:02:25,254 --> 00:02:28,614
Speaker 1: ignored or punished for speaking up. There has been an

44
00:02:28,654 --> 00:02:31,774
Speaker 1: increase in the number of reports and complaints filed outlining

45
00:02:31,854 --> 00:02:35,454
Speaker 1: serious incidents, including in appropriate discipline, but many of these

46
00:02:35,534 --> 00:02:38,574
Speaker 1: reportedly end in an increase in paperwork and warnings, but

47
00:02:38,654 --> 00:02:41,214
Speaker 1: nothing further. The worker who hit the child in the

48
00:02:41,294 --> 00:02:44,214
Speaker 1: video was convicted of common assault and handed a community

49
00:02:44,254 --> 00:02:47,694
Speaker 1: corrections order. She was not fined or jailed for the incident.

50
00:02:47,974 --> 00:02:50,134
Speaker 1: It's not clear if she was sacked or resigned over

51
00:02:50,174 --> 00:02:53,774
Speaker 1: the matter. Ex New South Wales Liberal President Jason Felinsky

52
00:02:53,814 --> 00:02:56,534
Speaker 1: has urged whoever ends up taking over the Liberal leadership

53
00:02:56,774 --> 00:03:00,014
Speaker 1: to ditch the ideological or culture wars and fight for

54
00:03:00,054 --> 00:03:04,094
Speaker 1: Australians instead. Liberal Deputy leader Susan Lee and Shadow treasurer

55
00:03:04,174 --> 00:03:07,014
Speaker 1: Angus Taylor are both buying for the position, with Northern

56
00:03:07,134 --> 00:03:10,654
Speaker 1: Territory Senator just Into nampujimber Price joining forces with mister

57
00:03:10,734 --> 00:03:13,254
Speaker 1: Taylor in a bid to become the deputy. There are

58
00:03:13,254 --> 00:03:16,014
Speaker 1: also rumors that Tim Wilson, the only Liberal to win

59
00:03:16,054 --> 00:03:18,174
Speaker 1: a seat back from a Teal Independent in the seat

60
00:03:18,214 --> 00:03:20,974
Speaker 1: of Goldstein, is also planning to run for the job.

61
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:24,654
Speaker 1: Mister Felinski says he doesn't think Australians truly believe a

62
00:03:24,694 --> 00:03:27,934
Speaker 1: long the ideological spectrum of right versus left, and is

63
00:03:27,934 --> 00:03:30,654
Speaker 1: calling on whoever takes over the party leadership to focus

64
00:03:30,694 --> 00:03:34,014
Speaker 1: on helping Australians get ahead. Mister Felinsky used to hold

65
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:36,574
Speaker 1: the seat of mckeller and Sydney, but came under fire

66
00:03:36,614 --> 00:03:39,654
Speaker 1: when he attended an event with controversial candidate for Ringer,

67
00:03:39,774 --> 00:03:43,494
Speaker 1: Catherine Deeves, whose platform included the transgender children are being

68
00:03:43,534 --> 00:03:46,974
Speaker 1: surgically mutilated and sterilized. Both did not win at the

69
00:03:46,974 --> 00:03:50,254
Speaker 1: local level then. Now former Liberal politician says you can't

70
00:03:50,254 --> 00:03:52,134
Speaker 1: say out loud that you want government out of the

71
00:03:52,134 --> 00:03:54,614
Speaker 1: boardroom just so we can put it in the bedroom,

72
00:03:54,894 --> 00:03:57,254
Speaker 1: saying when the Liberals frame policies in terms of so

73
00:03:57,334 --> 00:04:01,294
Speaker 1: called culture wars, they're losing votes and splintering the Electric coalition.

74
00:04:01,774 --> 00:04:04,934
Speaker 1: Amber heard is a mum again announcing the arrival of twins.

75
00:04:05,294 --> 00:04:08,294
Speaker 1: The thirty nine year old spokesperson released a statement saying

76
00:04:08,334 --> 00:04:11,414
Speaker 1: she was delighted to work the twins and complete her family,

77
00:04:11,734 --> 00:04:14,974
Speaker 1: and that mama and babies are enjoying every minute and Una,

78
00:04:15,054 --> 00:04:17,774
Speaker 1: Herd's older daughter, who turned four in April, is happily

79
00:04:17,814 --> 00:04:20,414
Speaker 1: running the show. Heard shared on Instagram the names of

80
00:04:20,454 --> 00:04:23,494
Speaker 1: her new arrivals are Agnes and Ocean, saying she's elated

81
00:04:23,534 --> 00:04:26,334
Speaker 1: beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family she's

82
00:04:26,374 --> 00:04:29,294
Speaker 1: strived to build for years. That's your latest news headlines.
