1
00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:14,375
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Hi. I'm Cassandra

2
00:00:14,455 --> 00:00:17,454
Speaker 1: Green from Mamma MIA's twice daily news podcast, The Quickie

3
00:00:17,495 --> 00:00:22,015
Speaker 1: with Your Headlines for Tuesday, November eighteen. Lachlan Young was

4
00:00:22,055 --> 00:00:24,255
Speaker 1: just sentenced to twenty eight years jail for the murder

5
00:00:24,255 --> 00:00:27,975
Speaker 1: of his former partner, Hannah McGuire. Young twenty three, killed

6
00:00:28,015 --> 00:00:31,055
Speaker 1: Hannah in April twenty twenty four, strangling her in their

7
00:00:31,055 --> 00:00:33,974
Speaker 1: Sebstaple home before placing her body in a ute and

8
00:00:34,015 --> 00:00:37,015
Speaker 1: setting it on fire in bushland outside of Ballarat. He

9
00:00:37,135 --> 00:00:40,295
Speaker 1: staged the scene to look like a suicide. The court

10
00:00:40,335 --> 00:00:43,455
Speaker 1: heard Hannah was finalizing plans to leave Young permanently in

11
00:00:43,455 --> 00:00:46,375
Speaker 1: the months before her death. Young has a non parole

12
00:00:46,415 --> 00:00:49,094
Speaker 1: period of twenty two years and four months. He will

13
00:00:49,095 --> 00:00:52,375
Speaker 1: be eligible for parole in August twenty forty six, given

14
00:00:52,415 --> 00:00:56,015
Speaker 1: his pre sentenced to attention in Victoria. The standard sentence

15
00:00:56,055 --> 00:00:58,455
Speaker 1: for murder is twenty five years jail and the maximum

16
00:00:58,455 --> 00:01:01,895
Speaker 1: penalty is life behind bars. Hannah was described to the

17
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:05,815
Speaker 1: courtroom as warm, special, talented and giving. She worked as

18
00:01:05,855 --> 00:01:08,655
Speaker 1: a teacher's aid at the Delacombe Primary School and loved

19
00:01:08,655 --> 00:01:12,255
Speaker 1: working with children, just as Elliott decided that because of

20
00:01:12,335 --> 00:01:16,095
Speaker 1: Young's age and later remorse, his prospects for rehabilitation were good.

21
00:01:16,455 --> 00:01:18,895
Speaker 1: The twenty three year old has taken treatment for alcohol

22
00:01:18,935 --> 00:01:22,735
Speaker 1: and drug abuse. A Teleco customer has died after their

23
00:01:22,775 --> 00:01:25,055
Speaker 1: phone could not make calls to the emergency line on

24
00:01:25,095 --> 00:01:29,575
Speaker 1: Australia's third largest mobile network. TPG, which also operates the

25
00:01:29,615 --> 00:01:32,855
Speaker 1: Vodaphone and Lebarra brands in Australia, revealed a person had

26
00:01:32,895 --> 00:01:35,535
Speaker 1: died on Thursday when their Samsung phone could not make

27
00:01:35,575 --> 00:01:39,015
Speaker 1: triple zero calls. The telecom CEO called it a tragic

28
00:01:39,095 --> 00:01:42,815
Speaker 1: accident and said customer safety is their highest priority. The

29
00:01:42,855 --> 00:01:45,575
Speaker 1: Sydney based caller tried to reach triple zero through Lebarra

30
00:01:45,815 --> 00:01:49,175
Speaker 1: and there were no outages at the time. Early investigations

31
00:01:49,215 --> 00:01:52,735
Speaker 1: allegedly suggest the calls failed because the person's aging Samsung

32
00:01:52,775 --> 00:01:56,735
Speaker 1: phone used software incompatible with making triple zero calls. Some

33
00:01:56,935 --> 00:01:59,895
Speaker 1: older devices had been identified by Samsung as needing a

34
00:01:59,935 --> 00:02:02,575
Speaker 1: software update to be able to call the emergency line

35
00:02:02,615 --> 00:02:06,535
Speaker 1: on TPG's network. Though the death occurred on Thursday, TPG

36
00:02:06,655 --> 00:02:09,655
Speaker 1: Telecom was not informed until Monday, when it received advice

37
00:02:09,734 --> 00:02:12,895
Speaker 1: from New South Wales Ambulance. The company has since urged

38
00:02:12,895 --> 00:02:16,215
Speaker 1: customers with affected devices to update their phones, and anyone

39
00:02:16,215 --> 00:02:18,135
Speaker 1: that has not done so after five weeks will have

40
00:02:18,175 --> 00:02:22,215
Speaker 1: their handset blocked. Other telcos have taken identical measures since

41
00:02:22,215 --> 00:02:25,495
Speaker 1: the Samsung specific issue with the voteraphone network was discovered

42
00:02:25,495 --> 00:02:29,335
Speaker 1: by Telstra and Optus in late October. The telecoms industry

43
00:02:29,375 --> 00:02:32,135
Speaker 1: has been under immense scrutiny in recent months after an

44
00:02:32,175 --> 00:02:35,095
Speaker 1: Optus outage that left hundreds of triple zero calls unable

45
00:02:35,175 --> 00:02:38,735
Speaker 1: to be connected was linked to three deaths. The US

46
00:02:38,775 --> 00:02:41,295
Speaker 1: House of Representatives is poised to vote to force the

47
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:44,815
Speaker 1: release of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

48
00:02:45,575 --> 00:02:48,975
Speaker 1: President Trump recently dropped his long standing opposition, saying he'll

49
00:02:49,015 --> 00:02:52,175
Speaker 1: release everything. He confirmed that if a bill to sign

50
00:02:52,175 --> 00:02:54,255
Speaker 1: the release of the documents is put on his desk,

51
00:02:54,415 --> 00:02:56,895
Speaker 1: he will sign it. He added that he feels that

52
00:02:56,895 --> 00:03:01,175
Speaker 1: Epstein files are detracting from Republican successes. Trump's versal on

53
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:04,455
Speaker 1: Sunday came days after a House petition gathered enough support

54
00:03:04,495 --> 00:03:07,255
Speaker 1: to force a vote, a rare instance of House Republicans

55
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:11,535
Speaker 1: defying the president's wishes. Epstein was convicted on several Florida

56
00:03:11,575 --> 00:03:14,295
Speaker 1: State and federal charges related to his sexual abuse and

57
00:03:14,295 --> 00:03:17,735
Speaker 1: trafficking of teenaged girls. He died in a federal jail

58
00:03:17,775 --> 00:03:20,215
Speaker 1: cell in Manhattan in twenty nineteen in what was ruled

59
00:03:20,215 --> 00:03:22,735
Speaker 1: a suicide, a few weeks after he was arrested on

60
00:03:22,815 --> 00:03:26,295
Speaker 1: new federal charges of sex trafficking children. If the House

61
00:03:26,295 --> 00:03:28,815
Speaker 1: passes the resolution, it would move to the Senate, which

62
00:03:28,855 --> 00:03:30,775
Speaker 1: would also need to vote on it before sending it

63
00:03:30,815 --> 00:03:34,615
Speaker 1: to Trump to sign. Republican Senate majority leader John Thune's

64
00:03:34,615 --> 00:03:36,615
Speaker 1: office declined to comment on what he planned to do

65
00:03:36,735 --> 00:03:40,495
Speaker 1: about the bill. Francis Louver Museum has closed a gallery

66
00:03:40,535 --> 00:03:43,495
Speaker 1: after a technical report showed weaknesses in the beams under

67
00:03:43,535 --> 00:03:46,055
Speaker 1: the second floor of the Sally Wing, making it necessary

68
00:03:46,055 --> 00:03:48,575
Speaker 1: to close the Campana Gallery on the first floor and

69
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:52,535
Speaker 1: relocate sixty five museum staff from the second. The Campana

70
00:03:52,615 --> 00:03:55,335
Speaker 1: Gallery is adjacent to the Apollo Gallery, home to the

71
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:58,095
Speaker 1: French Crown Jewels, which were targeted in last month's heist.

72
00:03:58,775 --> 00:04:02,735
Speaker 1: Valery Board of the CFDT union called it a major deterioration,

73
00:04:03,135 --> 00:04:06,175
Speaker 1: saying they didn't realize it was this bad. The new

74
00:04:06,215 --> 00:04:08,655
Speaker 1: setback comes less than a month after a daring heist

75
00:04:08,735 --> 00:04:12,495
Speaker 1: exposed its vulnerabilities. On October nineteen, two men parked a

76
00:04:12,575 --> 00:04:15,535
Speaker 1: movers lift outside the building, rode up to the second story,

77
00:04:15,615 --> 00:04:18,414
Speaker 1: smashed a window, and drove away on motorbikes with historical

78
00:04:18,495 --> 00:04:20,895
Speaker 1: jewels the equivalent of over one hundred and two million

79
00:04:21,015 --> 00:04:24,415
Speaker 1: US dollars, which is around one hundred and fifty million Australian.

80
00:04:24,975 --> 00:04:27,575
Speaker 1: The jewels have not yet been recovered, though four suspects

81
00:04:27,615 --> 00:04:31,094
Speaker 1: are being investigated. The closure of the gallery is another

82
00:04:31,135 --> 00:04:34,215
Speaker 1: sign of the museum's dereliction, as highlighted by a state

83
00:04:34,295 --> 00:04:37,455
Speaker 1: auditor's report, which said the management had neglected security and

84
00:04:37,535 --> 00:04:42,575
Speaker 1: infrastructure in favor of artwork acquisitions and post pandemic relaunch projects.

85
00:04:42,895 --> 00:04:45,094
Speaker 1: The former Prince Andrew has lost even more of his

86
00:04:45,135 --> 00:04:48,175
Speaker 1: accolades weeks after being stripped of his royal titles over

87
00:04:48,215 --> 00:04:52,175
Speaker 1: his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, now known

88
00:04:52,215 --> 00:04:56,135
Speaker 1: as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. UK media reports that several plarques

89
00:04:56,175 --> 00:04:58,534
Speaker 1: in the Falklands bearing his name in honour of his

90
00:04:58,615 --> 00:05:02,455
Speaker 1: military efforts during the nineteen eighty two conflict, have been removed.

91
00:05:02,975 --> 00:05:05,335
Speaker 1: During his twenty two years in the Navy, andrews So

92
00:05:05,495 --> 00:05:08,775
Speaker 1: served as a helicopter co pilot in active service. He

93
00:05:08,815 --> 00:05:11,815
Speaker 1: returned to the UK in glory after helping defend the islands,

94
00:05:11,855 --> 00:05:14,695
Speaker 1: and was famously greeted in Portsmouth by his mother, the Queen.

95
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:17,414
Speaker 1: He then went back to the Falklands a number of

96
00:05:17,455 --> 00:05:20,015
Speaker 1: times in the years that followed to unveil memorials and

97
00:05:20,055 --> 00:05:23,854
Speaker 1: public buildings. It's reported that plarques unveiled at Mount Pleasant

98
00:05:23,855 --> 00:05:27,015
Speaker 1: Airport and an infant school have both been removed. He

99
00:05:27,215 --> 00:05:29,375
Speaker 1: was allowed to keep his South Atlantic Medal, which he

100
00:05:29,415 --> 00:05:33,375
Speaker 1: received for his service after the war. Danny Masterson, the

101
00:05:33,415 --> 00:05:36,375
Speaker 1: former star of That seventy show, is seeking to overturn

102
00:05:36,415 --> 00:05:40,615
Speaker 1: his rape conviction. Masterson, forty nine, was charged with forcibly

103
00:05:40,695 --> 00:05:43,895
Speaker 1: raping three women in twenty twenty in separate incidents between

104
00:05:43,895 --> 00:05:46,775
Speaker 1: two thousand and one and two thousand three. His first

105
00:05:46,775 --> 00:05:49,295
Speaker 1: trial ended in a mistrial, and he was later convicted

106
00:05:49,335 --> 00:05:51,895
Speaker 1: of two of those rapes in twenty twenty three. During

107
00:05:51,895 --> 00:05:55,415
Speaker 1: his second trial. His habeas petition was filed on Monday

108
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:59,215
Speaker 1: November seventeen. His lawyer claimed there was unfairness in the

109
00:05:59,255 --> 00:06:03,535
Speaker 1: second trial as a result of prosecutorial misconduct, judicial bias,

110
00:06:03,615 --> 00:06:06,695
Speaker 1: and the failure of the defense to present sculpatory evidence,

111
00:06:06,935 --> 00:06:10,214
Speaker 1: which is evidence that tends to prove innocence. They claimed

112
00:06:10,295 --> 00:06:13,495
Speaker 1: they have sixty five evidentiary exhibits of innocence that could

113
00:06:13,495 --> 00:06:16,815
Speaker 1: have been presented but weren't. The Los Angeles County District

114
00:06:16,855 --> 00:06:20,655
Speaker 1: Attorney's Office has so far declined to comment. That's your

115

Speaker 1: kids toys. Listen to The Quikie wherever you get your podcasts.

118
