1
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: From the Daily Os. I'm Emma Gillespie, I'm Lucy Tassel.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, the twenty ninth of October. Here's what's making

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: headlines this evening.

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: The inflation rate has increased to three point two percent,

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: its highest level in over a year, according to the

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: Australian Bureau of Statistics. It comes less than a week

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: before the Reserve Bank's next cash rate decision. Figures for

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: the September quarter are up from the two point one

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: percent inflation rate recorded in the June quarter. The ABS

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: attributed the increase to rising housing, recreation and culture, transport

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: and power prices. The trimmed mean for the September quarter

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: was three percent, up from two point seven percent. This

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: is often seen as a more accurate figure to understand

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: longer term changes, as it excludes volatile price changes such

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: as petrol. Economists are not forecasting the RBA will cut

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: rates after it meets on Tuesday.

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: The Australian Federal Police has announced a new task force

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: to crack down on what it's called crime fluencer networks

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: targeting young girls online. During a National Press Club address

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: in Canberra today, AFP Chief Chrissy Barrett said victims are

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: being coerced into perpetrating acts of violence against themselves or

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: their siblings and pets, mostly by young men. Investigators claim

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: these networks quote hunt, stalk and drawing victims from a

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: range of online platforms through a twisted type of gamification.

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Barrett noted the victims are typically young girls with low

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: self esteem, mental health disorders or other attributes which may

27
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: lead them to seek connection online, which can make them

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: more vulnerable to being targeted. The AFP has already identified

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: fifty nine alleged offenders and made twelve arrests, three in

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Australia and nine overseas. Those arrested in Australia were aged

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: between seven teen and twenty.

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: A seventy two year old patient has died after a

33
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,720

Speaker 2: accused of cutting both the water and gas mains to

00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: one hospital, before cutting the gas to the other. A

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: short time later, New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park

40
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: confirmed Sutherland Hospital quote switched to portable oxygen and air

41
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: as part of their contingency plans after it lost medical gases. However,

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,600

00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,600
