Speaker 1: From the Daily oas I'm Billy, I'm atroll. It is Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth of November, and here is what is
Speaker 1: making headlines this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Tech giants have urged the Australian government to delay its
Speaker 2: Under sixteenth social media ban. Last week, the government tabled
Speaker 2: a bill that would enforce a minimum age requirement. The
Speaker 2: bill includes fines of fifty million dollars for companies that
Speaker 2: failed to block underage children from their platforms. The House
Speaker 2: of Representatives referred the bill to a committee for review,
Speaker 2: a process that includes asking the public and stakeholders for submissions.
Speaker 2: The committee opened submissions for twenty four hours and will
Speaker 2: hand down a report this evening. In written submissions to
Speaker 2: the government, Google, which owns YouTube, and Meta, which owns Facebook,
Speaker 2: Instagram and WhatsApp, warned against introducing the laws before tested
Speaker 2: age verification systems are in place. Meta argued that passing
Speaker 2: the bill without recognizing the limitations of these systems means
Speaker 2: neither industry nor Australians will understand the nature nor the
Speaker 2: impact of these changes. Google raised concerns that its current
Speaker 2: trial of age verification systems won't finish until mid next year,
Speaker 2: making the bills timing quote concerning the coalition opposition has
Speaker 2: said it supports the bill, meaning it will likely pass
Speaker 2: before the Parliament sits for the last time this Friday.
Speaker 1: New South Wales police have accepted a historic four year
Speaker 1: pay deal after the police union reached an agreement with
Speaker 1: the state government. Under the new arrangement, police will receive
Speaker 1: pay increases up to thirty nine point four percent over
Speaker 1: the next four years depending on their role. In addition
Speaker 1: to pay increases, the deal includes the option of job
Speaker 1: sharing and part time work, and increasing allowances. New South
Speaker 1: Wales Police Minister Yasmin Kate Lee said the pay rise
Speaker 1: was well deserved for officers who risk their lives every
Speaker 1: day to keep us safe. It follows industrial action by
Speaker 1: other public service employees, including nurses and rail workers, after
Speaker 1: negotiations with the state government overpay increases and better conditions
Speaker 1: broke down.
Speaker 2: Incoming US President Donald Trump has announced plans to introduce
Speaker 2: a twenty five percent tariff on goods from bordering nations
Speaker 2: Mexico and Canada on his first day back in the
Speaker 2: White House. Tariffs are taxes imposed by countries on imported
Speaker 2: goods and services. The President elect has also said he'll
Speaker 2: add a ten percent tariff on goods imported from China.
Speaker 2: In a series of posts to his platform Truth Social
Speaker 2: Trump said he would only lift these tariffs if all
Speaker 2: three nations stopped the entry of massive amounts of drugs,
Speaker 2: especially the opioid fentanyl, into the US, and if Mexico
Speaker 2: and Canada stop migrants from entering the country illegally. The US, Mexico,
Speaker 2: and Canada have long had free trade agreements, including the
Speaker 2: current agreement, which was signed in the final year of
Speaker 2: Trump's previous presidency. New tariffs could see this agreement renegotiated,
Speaker 2: which would have far reaching effects on all three countries.
Speaker 2: Trump will be inaugurated on January twentieth, meaning his first
Speaker 2: official day in office will be the twenty first of
Speaker 2: January twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: And today's good news, thirteen year old Indian batsman Vibavsoyvanchi
Speaker 1: has secured a two hundred thousand dollars contract to play
Speaker 1: in the Indian Premier League. He is the youngest player
Speaker 1: to secure a spot in the league's history, breaking the
Speaker 1: previous record by three years. So Yvanchi secured a century
Speaker 1: from just fifty eight balls in an under nineteenth International
Speaker 1: between India and Australia earlier this year. That is the
Speaker 1: latest from the dally Os newsroom. If you are looking
Speaker 1: for something else to listen to make sure you catch
Speaker 1: up on today's deep dive. It was about what exactly
Speaker 1: is methanol poisoning following the deaths of the two Australian
Speaker 1: teens in Lao. Thank you so much for listening and
Speaker 1: we'll be back on tomorrow morning.
