Speaker 1: From the Daily Ods. I'm Sam Kauzlowski, I'm Lucy Tassel.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, the twentieth of January. Here one's making headlines
Speaker 1: this evening.
Speaker 2: New South Wales has now seen four shark attacks in
Speaker 2: three days, causing the closure of a number of beaches
Speaker 2: across the state's coastline. On Tuesday morning, a thirty nine
Speaker 2: year old man was taken to hospital after being bitten
Speaker 2: in the chest at Point Ploma, north of Port Macquarie
Speaker 2: on the New South Wales Mid North coast. Two people
Speaker 2: are still in critical condition from separate bites earlier in
Speaker 2: the week. New South Wales Premier Chris Mins has said
Speaker 2: he is open to a more robust system of warnings
Speaker 2: for swimmers and surfers. Our warning system and communication needs
Speaker 2: to be beefed up, particularly during stormy weather, he told
Speaker 2: two GB radio on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Labor and the Coalition have agreed on major changes for
Speaker 1: reforms combating groups that spread hatred. Amendments have passed the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives and will now be debated in the
Speaker 1: Senate after Parliament was recalled early on Monday to response
Speaker 1: to the Bondai terrorist attack, which targeted a Jewish celebration
Speaker 1: on the fourteenth of December last year. After insisting the
Speaker 1: changes would be dealt with under a single bill, Labour
Speaker 1: was forced to split the hate crimes changes from the
Speaker 1: gun reforms to secure support from the Coalition and Greens
Speaker 1: for the separate pieces of legislation. The bills are set
Speaker 1: to pass the Senate later tonight with amendments, before being
Speaker 1: sent back to the Lower House for a final sign
Speaker 1: off tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2: Italian designer Valentino Garavani has died at home in Rome,
Speaker 2: according to his foundation. Usually known by his first name,
Speaker 2: Valentino was ninety three and had retired in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight. He was renowned for his love of a
Speaker 2: specific shade of red, which appeared in all of his collections.
Speaker 2: The foundation said in a statement posted on social media,
Speaker 2: Tino Garavani was not only a constant guide and inspiration
Speaker 2: for all of us, but a true source of light,
Speaker 2: creativity and vision. A funeral will be held on Friday
Speaker 2: in Rome. Valentino was survived by his partner, John Carlo Gmti.
Speaker 2: The couple had been together since nineteen sixty.
Speaker 1: And Today's good news, a citizen scientist in Queensland has
Speaker 1: found a small native flower previously thought to be extinct.
Speaker 1: Horticulturalist and birdwatcher Aaron Bean stumbled across the species in
Speaker 1: June when he opportunistically photographed a few plants while working
Speaker 1: on private property in the Gilbert River region. He then
Speaker 1: uploaded the photos to the citizen scientists platform I Naturalist,
Speaker 1: where it was spotted by Anthony Bean that's no relation
Speaker 1: at the Queensland Herbarium. Eventually, scientists at the UNSW School
Speaker 1: of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences confirmed the plant's identity
Speaker 1: as a rarely flowering shrub last spotted in the wild
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven. The researchers say the rediscovery highlights
Speaker 1: the growing power of citizens science data in research and conservation.
Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Dallyios newsroom. If you're looking
Speaker 2: for something else to listen to, you can catch up
Speaker 2: on this morning's deep dive into the government's hate speech
Speaker 2: and gun control bills that we mentioned at the top
Speaker 2: of this episode.
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow with another deep dive. Until then,
Speaker 1: have a great night. My name is Lily Maddon and
Speaker 1: I'm a proud Arunda Bungelung Calkotin woman from Gadighl country.
Speaker 1: The Daily oz acknowledges that this podcast is recorded on
Speaker 1: the lands of the Gadighl people and pays respect to
Speaker 1: all Aboriginal and Torres s right island and nations. We
Speaker 1: pay our respects to the first peoples of these countries,
Speaker 1: both past and present.
