<v Speaker 1>difficult to contact people inside the Islamic Republic. Australian woman

<v Speaker 1>MJ has family in Iran, but hasn't heard from them

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>for three days.

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 3>We don't know where they are, what condition they're in.

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 4>We don't know if their house is still standing.

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>The Federal government has closed its Iranian embassy, telling diplomats

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and their families to leave the country. Officials are being

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.920

<v Speaker 2>Nine US correspondent Jonathan Kursley.

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 5>America's commander in chief believes there is a substantial chance

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 5>of negotiations with the Iranian regime on a nuclear deal,

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 5>so he has decided to wait until deciding whether or

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 5>not the US will enter the war between Israel and Iran.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 5>White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says the administration is

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 5>firmly if the view Iran is close to having a

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 5>nuclear weapon.

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 6>All they need is a decision from the Supreme Leader

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 6>to do that, and it would take a couple of

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 6>weeks to complete the production of that weapon.

<v Speaker 5>the United States. Jonathan Cursley nine News.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 2>An independent evaluation has found the federal government's social media

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>age restrictions can be introduced in a private, robust, and

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>effective way. The Age Assurance Technology Trial has spent recent

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>months investigating ways to enforce the under sixteens ban. It

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 2>found there's a plethora of options the government could use,

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>but no single solution that works in every scenario. Five

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>senior New South Wales government staffers have failed to appear

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>before a parliamentary inquiry into the Dural caravan plot, which

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>was later revealed to be a criminal conjob. The inquiry

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>is looking at what the state government knew and when

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>before hate speech and protest laws passed Parliament. Value to

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>appear without reasonable excuse can lead to an arrest warrant

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>being issued. Inquiry Chairman Rod Roberts says the committee will

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>now consider further action.

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 6>For any witness not a member of Parliament, to decline

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 6>to appear before a committee having been properly summoned to

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 6>do so is an extremely serious matter. I am disappointed

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 6>in the government's continued efforts to hinder and frustrate the

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 6>work of this committee.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Eleven people have been assessed by paramedics after a bus

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>crashed into a pub in Melbourne's southeast. People were trapped

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 2>inside the venue at Malvin for a short time. No

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:32.440

<v Speaker 3>eight hours, but it's understood no formal request has been

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 3>made to either the union's administrator or the federal Minister

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 3>in charge. It's the second day construction workers have walked

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 3>off the job. It comes after the High Court unanimously

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>rejected an appeal to a force takeover of the construction

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 3>arm of the CFMAU, clearing the way for it to continue.

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 3>The union was plunged into administration last August after allegations

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 3>outlaw motorcycle gangs had infiltrated its ranks. The Office of

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 3>the Administrator standing by comments this action is likely unlawful

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.479

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 2>A former Victorian Opposition leader, has been given a lifeline

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 2>from bankruptcy. Liberal MP John Pursuto would have had to

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>give up his seat in Parliament if he was unable

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to pay colleague Moi redeeming the one and a half

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>million dollars ode after she won a defamation case. The

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:54.080

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Perth could pose a threat to the nation's horticulture industry.

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Thousands of trees have been cleared due to the damage

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>from the shotthole borer, which can no longer be eradicated.

<v Speaker 2>The Invasive Species Council's Carol Booth says it cannot be

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>allowed to spread further, but it.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Could also be terrible for native trees to cities and

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 3>the horticultural industry elsewhere if it spreads across the country.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, obviously we've changed away. We played a little

<v Speaker 4>bit with Lucky Gon and Jerome the way he's played

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 4>so takes a bit of time to adapt. We didn't

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 4>get the result, but the way we wanted to play

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:25.960
