1
00:00:10,574 --> 00:00:15,294
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 --> 00:00:22,654
Speaker 1: is recorded on from Mumamea's daily news podcast, The Quickie. Hi.

4
00:00:22,774 --> 00:00:26,054
Speaker 1: I'm Claire Murphy with your headlines for Monday, January twenty seven.

5
00:00:26,414 --> 00:00:29,334
Speaker 1: A new poll shows support for the Albanese Labor government

6
00:00:29,454 --> 00:00:32,534
Speaker 1: is slipping, with the country tracking towards a hung parliament

7
00:00:32,894 --> 00:00:36,254
Speaker 1: when an election is finally called. According to the latest

8
00:00:36,254 --> 00:00:39,414
Speaker 1: News poll on a two party preferred basis, the coalition

9
00:00:39,614 --> 00:00:42,494
Speaker 1: is ahead fifty one to forty nine. That's a three

10
00:00:42,494 --> 00:00:45,894
Speaker 1: point one percent swing against the Albanese government since twenty

11
00:00:45,934 --> 00:00:49,414
Speaker 1: twenty two, and if that sentiment continues through to election day,

12
00:00:49,654 --> 00:00:52,334
Speaker 1: it could mean a hung parliament, leading to Labour having

13
00:00:52,374 --> 00:00:55,694
Speaker 1: to lean more on independence to govern. Labour's primary vote

14
00:00:55,774 --> 00:00:58,294
Speaker 1: is also down two points to thirty one, while the

15
00:00:58,294 --> 00:01:01,814
Speaker 1: coalition remains stable on thirty nine. The Prime Minister has

16
00:01:01,854 --> 00:01:05,454
Speaker 1: already begun his election campaign, telling voters that he understands

17
00:01:05,494 --> 00:01:08,534
Speaker 1: people are hurting over the cost of living crisis polling

18
00:01:08,614 --> 00:01:12,094
Speaker 1: suggesting household old finances we're turning people away from Labour

19
00:01:12,414 --> 00:01:15,134
Speaker 1: despite their relief measures. An election will need to be

20
00:01:15,174 --> 00:01:18,814
Speaker 1: held by May seventeen, as the world marks the eightieth

21
00:01:18,814 --> 00:01:22,494
Speaker 1: anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Prime

22
00:01:22,534 --> 00:01:25,894
Speaker 1: Minister Anthony Alberanzi has promised that Australia will use a

23
00:01:25,894 --> 00:01:29,214
Speaker 1: full force of the law to combat anti Semitism. In

24
00:01:29,254 --> 00:01:32,294
Speaker 1: a statement, the PM said that society was tragically not

25
00:01:32,374 --> 00:01:34,894
Speaker 1: free of the hatred and that it stands in vile

26
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:37,374
Speaker 1: opposition to all we are as a nation and all

27
00:01:37,414 --> 00:01:41,574
Speaker 1: that we have built together over generations. Mister Alberzi says

28
00:01:41,614 --> 00:01:44,334
Speaker 1: we will not tolerated in any form. It has no

29
00:01:44,454 --> 00:01:47,054
Speaker 1: place in our nation, and that his government will combat

30
00:01:47,094 --> 00:01:49,094
Speaker 1: it with the full force of our laws and with

31
00:01:49,174 --> 00:01:52,654
Speaker 1: total commitment from every level of government in Australia. In

32
00:01:52,734 --> 00:01:55,854
Speaker 1: recent months, cars have been set alight, as synagogue burned,

33
00:01:56,054 --> 00:01:59,614
Speaker 1: a childcare center set on fire, and anti Semitic slurs

34
00:01:59,654 --> 00:02:02,774
Speaker 1: and symbols painted on buildings and cars in attacks that

35
00:02:02,814 --> 00:02:06,934
Speaker 1: have been escalating since December. Robert F. Kennedy Junior will

36
00:02:06,934 --> 00:02:09,934
Speaker 1: face Senate confirmation hearings this week to try and amend

37
00:02:09,934 --> 00:02:13,774
Speaker 1: his nomination as President Trump's top health official. Health advocates

38
00:02:13,774 --> 00:02:17,534
Speaker 1: find themselves torn on his potential leadership as Kennedy supports

39
00:02:17,574 --> 00:02:20,734
Speaker 1: some more unorthodox measures, but also some that many have

40
00:02:20,814 --> 00:02:24,534
Speaker 1: been campaigning for, including making school lunch as healthier, banning

41
00:02:24,574 --> 00:02:28,414
Speaker 1: certain food additives, and cracking down on ultra processed foods

42
00:02:28,454 --> 00:02:31,934
Speaker 1: linked to obesity and type two diabetes. But while some

43
00:02:32,014 --> 00:02:34,974
Speaker 1: would support Kennedy on these measures, it's his record on

44
00:02:35,094 --> 00:02:38,934
Speaker 1: vaccines that has many worried, having previously supported the false

45
00:02:38,934 --> 00:02:42,334
Speaker 1: claims that vaccines cause autism in children. He also wants

46
00:02:42,334 --> 00:02:45,734
Speaker 1: to remove fluoride from drinking water, claiming it was associated

47
00:02:45,774 --> 00:02:48,894
Speaker 1: with a list of health issues, including bone cancer. The

48
00:02:48,934 --> 00:02:52,054
Speaker 1: ceasefire in Gaza is being tested, with tens of thousands

49
00:02:52,054 --> 00:02:55,414
Speaker 1: of Palestinians waiting to return to their homes in northern Gaza,

50
00:02:55,574 --> 00:02:58,454
Speaker 1: only to be held up at closed crossing points. A

51
00:02:58,534 --> 00:03:01,894
Speaker 1: day after a second exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian

52
00:03:01,934 --> 00:03:05,254
Speaker 1: prisoners held in Israel. People attempting to return home have

53
00:03:05,334 --> 00:03:09,174
Speaker 1: been stopped, with Israeli authorities refusing to open crossing points

54
00:03:09,534 --> 00:03:13,174
Speaker 1: claiming her Mass has breached the ceasefire agreement, leaving thousands

55
00:03:13,214 --> 00:03:16,454
Speaker 1: of people stranded in central Gaza, some in vehicles, some

56
00:03:16,614 --> 00:03:20,294
Speaker 1: on foot, hoping to find their homes still standing. Israel

57
00:03:20,334 --> 00:03:22,334
Speaker 1: claims he mass has failed to hand over a list

58
00:03:22,374 --> 00:03:25,854
Speaker 1: detailing which of the hostages scheduled for release are still alive,

59
00:03:26,294 --> 00:03:29,254
Speaker 1: or to hand over arbal Yehood, an Israeli woman who

60
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:33,134
Speaker 1: has taken hostage during the October seven Hamas attack. Meanwhile,

61
00:03:33,174 --> 00:03:35,854
Speaker 1: President Trump has ordered the US military to hand over

62
00:03:35,894 --> 00:03:39,214
Speaker 1: two thousand pound bombs to Israel that Joe Biden had

63
00:03:39,254 --> 00:03:43,214
Speaker 1: previously ordered be withheld over concerns for their impacts on civilians.

64
00:03:43,534 --> 00:03:46,214
Speaker 1: Trump also called for Egypt and Jordan to take more

65
00:03:46,254 --> 00:03:51,454
Speaker 1: Palestinian refugees, either temporarily or permanently, saying we should just

66
00:03:51,574 --> 00:03:54,294
Speaker 1: clear out the whole thing. On a call to Jordan's

67
00:03:54,334 --> 00:03:57,054
Speaker 1: King Abdullah, Trump said the whole place is literally a

68
00:03:57,054 --> 00:04:00,854
Speaker 1: demolition site. Almost everything is demolished, and people are dying there.

69
00:04:01,214 --> 00:04:04,174
Speaker 1: A Hamas official reacted with suspicion that Trump is working

70
00:04:04,174 --> 00:04:07,374
Speaker 1: with Israel who would want them permanently removed from their homes,

71
00:04:07,654 --> 00:04:11,054
Speaker 1: saying Palestinians will not accept and he offers all solutions,

72
00:04:11,374 --> 00:04:13,814
Speaker 1: even if they appear to have good intentions under the

73
00:04:13,814 --> 00:04:17,934
Speaker 1: guise of reconstruction. Justin Baldoni's mom is backing her son

74
00:04:18,014 --> 00:04:21,414
Speaker 1: amidst his legal feud with Blake Lively posting a loving

75
00:04:21,454 --> 00:04:24,734
Speaker 1: message to her son on his birthday. Sharon Baldoni wished

76
00:04:24,734 --> 00:04:27,654
Speaker 1: her son a happy birthday before recalling the wonderful family

77
00:04:27,694 --> 00:04:30,054
Speaker 1: he created on the set of Jane the Virgin and

78
00:04:30,134 --> 00:04:32,974
Speaker 1: signing off, as you keep your integrity through it all,

79
00:04:33,294 --> 00:04:36,694
Speaker 1: Justice and truth will shine today and into eternity. There

80
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,014
Speaker 1: are now several lawsuits involved in the Baldoni Lively saga

81
00:04:40,094 --> 00:04:42,214
Speaker 1: that started when the pair co starred on the It

82
00:04:42,334 --> 00:04:46,294
Speaker 1: Ends with Us movie, which Baldoni also directed. He accused

83
00:04:46,334 --> 00:04:48,454
Speaker 1: her of trying to take the movie over from him.

84
00:04:48,694 --> 00:04:51,294
Speaker 1: She accused him of sexual harassment and of launching a

85
00:04:51,334 --> 00:04:54,214
Speaker 1: smear campaign against her during the press tour. He has

86
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:57,814
Speaker 1: countersuit her and husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation. That's the

87
00:04:57,934 --> 00:05:00,094
Speaker 1: latest news headlines. For more from The Quickie, tune in
