Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, the sixteenth of July. Here's what's making headlines
Speaker 1: this evening.
Speaker 2: Convicted murderer Bradley John Murdoch has died in palliative care
Speaker 2: in Alice, Springs of throat cancer, as Northern Territory Police
Speaker 2: renewed calls to find the body of his victim, Peter Falconio.
Speaker 2: In two thousand and one, Murdock fatally shot Falconio on
Speaker 2: the side of the Stuart Highway in the NT. He
Speaker 2: also attempted to kidnap Falconio's partner, Joanna Lees, who escaped
Speaker 2: and hid in the bush for several hours. Lees later
Speaker 2: positively identified Murdoch as her partner's killer, and a court
Speaker 2: found him guilty in two thousand and five. A subsequent
Speaker 2: appeal failed. Murdock always maintained his innocence and never revealed
Speaker 2: the location of Falconio's body. In a statement today, the
Speaker 2: NT Police said it was still offering an existing reward
Speaker 2: of five hundred thousand dollars for any information leading to
Speaker 2: the discovery of Falconio's remains.
Speaker 1: Former Liberal candidate Jiselle Capterarian has announced she will contest
Speaker 1: the result in the Sydney seat of Bradfield, which she
Speaker 1: lost to Independent Nicolette Buller in the High Court. The
Speaker 1: seat was one of the last to be called following
Speaker 1: the May twenty second election, and the result came after
Speaker 1: extensive counting. In a statement to Instagram, Captarian said she
Speaker 1: wanted to quote ensure the intentions of the voters of
Speaker 1: Bradfield are accurately reflected in the final count. When the
Speaker 1: margin in a seat is fewer than one hundred votes,
Speaker 1: the Australian Electoral Commission conducts an automatic recount. Candidates can
Speaker 1: also escalate the result to the High Court, which sits
Speaker 1: as the Court of Disputed Returns, to analyze the results
Speaker 1: and make a final dodgment call. Buller said she will
Speaker 1: defend the court challenge. Parliament is due to see it
Speaker 1: for the first time since the election next Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Let's whip around the world of sport now with a
Speaker 2: couple of updates. A league team, Sydney FC has beaten
Speaker 2: Ryan Reynolds Welsh team ExHAM at a show match in
Speaker 2: Sydney last night. The score line there two one. The
Speaker 2: winning goal was scored in the seventy fourth minute by
Speaker 2: eighteen year old Joe Lacey, who was brought on as
Speaker 2: a substitute in the second half. Sticking with soccer now,
Speaker 2: the Women's Euros quarterfinals will begin early tomorrow morning Australian
Speaker 2: Eastern Standard time, with Norway taking on Italy. Norway dominated
Speaker 2: their group stage, winning all three of their matches, while
Speaker 2: Italy squeaked in with one win, one draw and one loss.
Speaker 2: And finally, let's get into the good news spirit with
Speaker 2: a highlight from the Australian women's basketball team, the Opals,
Speaker 2: who have made it to the semifinals of the Women's
Speaker 2: Asian Cup. The Oples beat Japan seventy nine to sixty
Speaker 2: seven in their last group stage game, having already beaten
Speaker 2: Lebanon and the Philippines.
Speaker 1: And today's good news, three year old Caitlin Melor, Yes three,
