0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>From The Daily Os. I'm Emma Gillespie.

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm belief it's Simon's.

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Wednesday, the twelfth of November. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>this evening.

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Liberal MPs have gathered in Canberra to discuss the party's

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>future position on net zero emissions. It comes after their

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>coalition partner, the Nationals Party, announced it was dumping support

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>for the twenty fifty target. Net zero refers to balancing

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced and taken out

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of the atmosphere. Australia has a legislated target to achieve

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>net zero emissions by twenty fifty. Liberal MPs and senators

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>shared their views on whether the party should stick with

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>net zero or walk away from it during closed door

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 2>talks this afternoon. Those discussions will inform the Shadow Cabinet,

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>who will meet tomorrow to determine the party's position. Once

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the Liberal Party has reached an agreement, it will negotiate

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>with the Nationals on Sunday to determine the coalition's final

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>stance on net zero.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Ex Construction union boss John Setka has been charged over

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>alleged threatening emails. Setka, the former head of the cfmeu's

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>construction union was arrested at his home in Melbourne this

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>morning as part of a joint operation between the Victorian

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and Australian Federal Police. He was charged with seven counts

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of using a telecommunications device to menace, harass and offend.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Setka will face court in January, where prosecutors will allege

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>he sent a number of allegedly threatening, offensive and abusive

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 1>emails to a CFMEU administrator. Crime Command Assistant Commissioner Martin

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>O'Brien said police quote will not tolerate behavior that aims

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to intimidate and harass people who simply want to go

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to work. It comes more than a year since the

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Federal government forced the CFMEU into administration over its alleged

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>ties to organized crime and biking gangs.

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>AZO Chief Mike Burgess has accused Chinese hackers of trying

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>to access Australian infrastructure, including telco's. Speaking at the Australian

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Securities and Investments Commission annual forum, Burgess said the National

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Spy Agency is aware of multiple attempts by overseas actors

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to penetrate critical infrastructure, including water, transport, telecommunications and energy

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>networks with potentially devastating results. He confirmed two hacking groups

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>working for Chinese government intelligence and their military known to

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 2>have accessed US telecosystems have also probed Australian networks. Burgess

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 2>warned the threat could have led to high impact sabotage.

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>There is no excuse for not taking all reasonable steps

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to manage the risk of security breaches that asioboss noted.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>And Today's Good News. Researchers are working to develop a

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>camera that can search for life on distant planets as

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>part of future space missions. NASA's Habitable World's Observatory HWO

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>is a proposed telescope designed to look for signs of

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>life on Earth like planets. Physics experts at Durham University

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 1>in Northeast England a part of a group of researchers

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>building a high resolution imaging camera for the observatory. The

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>camera would be used to measure the mass of suitable

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>planets and inspect their atmospheres for the chemical fingerprints of life,

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>including water, oxygen, and methane. Durham University said the observatory

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>will also be able to stare into black holes and

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>solve the mystery of dark matter. HWO is expected to

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>launch in the early twenty forties, not too far away.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't hold your breath, Billy, but it's closer than

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a black hole.

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>It is closer. That is the latest from the Daily

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.840
